@@RED-hb1di I wouldn't say it's unique at all. It's basically a copy of the Universal Century timeline Gundam shows. It's really a great homage and has amazing Mecha designs that stand out, but aside from that it's hardly original.
@@boianko it may be similar in terms of basic plot but really that's only in the first one, Z.O.E 2 is where its really unique though. I think its safe to say 80% of Zoe is unique.
ZOE is by far the only mecha anime/video game franchise that's stuck with me so profoundly. There's just something about the sheer badassery of the mecha designs and the early Kojima game music that makes it all the more beautiful.
-when ADA said i should back out of the fight- 'BITCH i got this one in the bag!!' -5 seconds later- 'soooo how the fuck do i get away from this monster!!!'
Me when i played it for the first time : "Jehuty and Anubis aren't destined to meet yet" "So what , i'm fucked ? Don't kidding me, ADA. It can't be worse than the others Orbital Frames ? No ?" -Zero Shift from Anubis - "Well i'm fucked"
This is one of the very few moments I felt genuine fear and excitement from a game that wasn’t horror. Those first few seconds. This scene/boss is up there for me. Other times I felt similar fear is Hearing Sephiroth’s Theme in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Not many other moments like that for me. But they do exist. :)
Absolutely, I think if more people played the game that ending would go down in history as a classic. Was a bold move to end the game with an unbeatable boss and the sad plot twist for ADA. Stuck with me for a long time, and this music would stay with me for days at a time
games have gone beyond movies and this proves it if only movies and everything else in the media could have this depth and intrigue and epicness in unknown so unknown it's stupid, games works of art like this.
I don't remember its name, but there's a kinetic weapon you can strike with that does huge damage to Anubis during this scene. You can chip up off to 1/6th of its health before the scene kicks in automatically. You can't win but if the fight wasn't auto'd, you'd be perfectly capable of beating Anubis with enough practice.
@@littlebadassgaming Upon further investigation, I believe that it's possible to push him further.. but his difficulty bumps or something, so, you gotta be fast as to not wiped out by a surprise burst attack. Edit: Just a little backstory, as a kid I didn't really think I had to run away.. so I kept retrying it over, and over, and over.. that's why I punished myself into finding this out about Anubis, I was a masochist.. because I also mistakenly got my save stuck 15 levels below the Seperoth fight in Kingdom Hearts 2 and instead of revert, I died 35 times before finding a way to beat him, took hours, but I did it. XD
@@Salem-1610 Metal Gear Ray was based on Jehuty's design. during development for both games around 2001, both mgs2 and Zoe1 influenced each other to some degree for said designs.

Top 10 moments before disaster:
“That is Anubis, you two are not fated to meet yet.”
I have never felt so much fear in my life, thanks Anubis.
Play Cry of Fear
@@sheogorath6639 Already did :)
@@KeeveBlanco you are epic
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one go oh.....in this moment during my first playthrough
@@jesusgandia8513damn near cried
My fiance couldn't understand how I went from all gung-ho to saying "fuck this" when ADA tells you Jehuty is -99.83% superior.
True. xD
What bothers me though is that some people who play this game misunderstood the part when Leo says "I was so close!"
This Orbital Frame has been compromised due to your actions!
Best mecha in history, bar none.
I think I agree, zone of the Enders is just so unique and not only the mech designs themselves but the music, story and just the lore in general

80% of Zoe is unique.
It was the first mech Japanese game I played, and it blew me away.

-when ADA said i should back out of the fight-
'BITCH i got this one in the bag!!'
-5 seconds later-
'soooo how the fuck do i get away from this monster!!!'
u made it 5 sec without dying the first time?
Me when i played it for the first time : "Jehuty and Anubis aren't destined to meet yet" "So what , i'm fucked ? Don't kidding me, ADA. It can't be worse than the others Orbital Frames ? No ?" -Zero Shift from Anubis - "Well i'm fucked"
Kojima made a good Gundam story. Its so good its legacy is seen in Gundam from Gundam 00 to Gundam AGE.
I see why my men couldn't beat you but here i am
At least you'r good at running away
- Nohman
And all Nohman is good for is dirt cheap bitch moves. I wish there was actually a way to beat anubis (even if it is non canonical)
Thank you. I’ve been TRYING TO DAMAGE HIM in the remake. But no luck
@@chrismartin583 Verrry late but you can damage him if you have the high rank at all the rescue missions

Agreed! I just replayed the game again just a few days ago, and holy crap this part shocked me.

I remember playing this game and thinking oh shit, when this song came on and saw anubis
Ur Friend: "How many times did you retry?"
You: "14,000,605."
Ur Friend: "How many times did you win?"
You: "....1...."

Kojima is far greater than Nolan in terms of depth and plots IMO, but... Hollywood.
I know, for the time the idea of a boss fight that you aren't meant to win never crossed my mind. So cool.
One of my favorite boss themes ever. Love the vocals, and this part 0:55 specially
Legendary. My childhood. I still have these games.
The vibe's intense

Gauntlet
I found this out and used it on him as a kid. Then realised that you still can't beat him.
The first time I encountered Anubis my jaw hit the floor. I was like to hell with Jehuty, Anubis is a bad ass! I wanted to play as him so badly lol
I could not hit Anubis during this fight and he always struck me when I dashed to dodge his attacks. But it was awesome. Then there was ZoE 2...
@Goddess Shadow I know. But at least in ZoE 2, I got my revenge in that epic final battle.
.w.
I actually got a hit on Anubis in the beginning of ZOE 2. No joke. Multiple, too. It wasn't much, but I did pull it off.
zero shift FTW!
Man I have tried to damage him but I couldn’t not even the first time I played this back in 2004 and even today it’s a pain in the ass
A melody you *don't* want to hang about to listen to...
I exist as I am for a reason that is not to be impeded. Anyone who bites the mother who feeds them loses the food *vomit*
''This fight is hard''
''2 seconds''
''Wha-!!!. Is fucking invincible!"
Me: god this game is so easy I’m already on the final boss come on I can take you.
Later
Me: no no run away the horror!!!!
I actually managed to get Anubis's health down about 25% then Nohman decided to end me...
How?
@@littlebadassgaming A lot of evading and dash slash while shooting at him to keep his guard up until I got close enough.

@@ObsidionshadowX have you tried an emulator with save state?
@@littlebadassgaming Nope, was playing my old PS2 copy. Also tried it on the Xbox 360 version too.
OOoooooooooooooooooo Sunny Delight!
You bastard. I can’t unhear that.
Best final boss right there lol
BEST SEQUEL BATE EVER
yeah that would be epic
So Jehuty and Anubis are basiclly like Metal Gears REX and RAY?
sort of, but not really. They were made at the same time, both sharing identical metatron engines and systems but distinctively different in battle.
@@artorias6321 Although, I think Metal Gear RAY is based on Jehuty. Or vice versa.
@@Salem-1610 Metal Gear Ray was based on Jehuty's design. during development for both games around 2001, both mgs2 and Zoe1 influenced each other to some degree for said designs.
Think more Gundam 00 raiser and Reborns Gundam...... Even though its probably the other way around.
@@barrybend7189 I never got into Gundam.
This song must be remixed. Guess I’ll have to do it.
Let us know if you do!
Yeah, please let us know
what about the sequal
Play on ng+ to troll

Lol the covid song
