Ahh the old lvl up quest. These things died fast back in the day and they die even faster nowdays with the power creeps :`D Literally had some 20 second or less fights sometimes. I think best one was like 14-15 seconds or something ridiculous. Good song though. Never got to listen to it much sadly \ o /
xD Yeah, it was pretty nice for exp, though I didn't like how this was set up, I prefer the Profound Darkness way where we go from Dark Falz Double to PD (so with Elder it would be Falz Arms -> Elder in the same run), instead of spamming Arms over and over. Then there's the variations of the theme which only played depending on how many Arms the whole ship defeated, which made it rather rare to listen to the 2nd and 3rd variations.
Yeah they are so rare that i didnt even know about those song variations till now and ive played like over 2k hours of pso2. Started during ep2 some years ago :`D Ya learn something new everyday...
What are these different versions supposed to represent? Did the song for this boss just get reworked over time or was it to showcase each season or phase released?
For the Dark Falz Elder urgent quest to be available, a certain number of arms have to be defeated by the whole ship during the arms phase. As the percentage of arms defeated increases, the theme changes, though usually groups are fast enough for it to go from version 1 straight to version 4. Version 2 and 3 are unfortunately extremely rare to happen (there would have to be very few players in the whole ship running the arms phase for those to happen). Version 1: initial theme. Version 2: 20+% arms required have been defeated. Version 3: I think either 40 or 60+% arms required? Not sure. Version 4: 80+% arms required have been defeated.
@@ezodagrom I still remember my old day on JP server when version 2 was still here. Listening to this version when you was lv 15 was a real threat. I realy love this version ahaha
While it's not on Spotify currently, SEGA announced in February that the PSO2 soundtracks are coming to spotify and other streaming services "soon". Since February they've been releasing multiple Phantasy Star soundtracks, it's likely that in the next few weeks will be the first few volumes of the PSO2 OST. In early February, they released all of PSO1's soundtracks (PSO, PSO Ep1&2, PSO Ep3 and PSO Blue Burst), and in the end of February they released the soundtracks for PSU, PSPortable 2, PSPortable 2 Infinity and PSNova.
Not quite, it's a part of the first Dark Falz, it's pretty much just parts of his arms that attack on their own. Each Dark Falz controls different types of darkers, the first one we fight in PSO2 controls the stone/aquatic type darkers, the darkers that are weak to lightning. Falz Arms are at the top of the chain of the stone darkers (for other falzes, there's Apos Dorios for the bird type, Dark Vibrace for the insect type, Anga Fundarge for Profound Darkness, it's just the toy type darkers that are missing a boss of this kind). The Dark Falzes themselves have different forms also: - the human forms, which don't have their own music themes, they appeared mostly on cutscenes, we only got to fight clones of some of them. - the first transformation, usually called the "hunar form" by players, there's Falz Hunar for the stone type (gonna upload his theme either tomorrow or the day after), Falz Angel for the bird type, Falz Dourumble for the toy type, Dio Hunar for Profound Darkness, insect type was never shown though. - the second transformation, the raid form we fight in emergency quests, there's Dark Falz Elder for the stone type, Dark Falz Loser for the bird type, Dark Falz Double for the toy type, for the insect type, Dark Falz Apprentice only appeared in the anime unfortunately, we get to fight an incomplete version of it in the 4th Mine Base Defense quest, and Profound Darkness as the boss of them all.
Thanks for the explanation, I want to know more about PSO2"s story and lore (I'm a huge fan of this in the PS serie) but this is complicated with all the patches and having to enable the story mode
In Episode 5 mode, after clearing the prologue, a new mode is unlocked which is pretty much a shorter version of episode 1 and 2 stories (with episode 3 to be released either this month or the next, not sure). It covers everything necessary to understand the story, though there's a few bits that are not translated with the english patch, I think most of it is translated. They're called "omnibus quests", or something like that.
Well I hope I would see at least a translated video of the cinematics then (I kinda stopped playing PSO2 because I focus more on finishing PSO1 and redoing Phantasy star 1 with the translated japanese version)
@@ikagura the lore for PSO2 was interesting until it hit EP4 and had a new director....afterwards it was a downward spiral into generic fantasy and anime tropes overused in the current anime seasons but will still get people yelling at you that its a good story....turning DF into a "it exists anywhere because its stronk" thing without a need for a host...reusing assets for every content "update" the game gets...the only thing good remaining about PSO2 is the music at this point but EP6 already seems geared to reuse EP5 characters and EP1-5 assets if that trashed tease is anything to judge by
All of the versions of this track go hard AF!
Version 3 and 4 goes completely bonkers!
I love that IDOLA the holy remix

I wonder if a variant of this theme will play for the upcoming dark falz uq in ngs. I hope it's good!
Hmm, I think it's probably just gonna be a completely new theme, but who knows, I guess we'll find out in less than 2 weeks.
I don't play, did it happen??
@@davidsterling7570 I don't know yet, I missed the urgent quest today since I had to work overtime.
Liking out of solidarity, not for overtime as a concept :p
@@davidsterling7570 Tried it today, no remixes this time, completely new theme.
だだっだだだだだっつ いい!

@@ezodagrom wow Thank you!!!
@@fuwa9898 Note that the first volume only includes part of Episode 1, only until Falz Hunar.
Will have to wait for other volumes for more.
@@ezodagrom Yeah, This track is also in the next volume. Can't wait for it~~
