Rufus Boss Fight Phase 3 Theme EXTENDED (Final Fantasy 7 Remake)

I don't know what happened to the extended version of this phase of the fight on RUclips, so I just decided to just make my own. I love the third phase of this fight so much that I just had to extend it. I basically played all through Chapter 17 up until this point, at which I turned off all of the audio except for the music. I only fought him for a little bit in the beginning so that I can limit him at the right time at the end where he will instantly die and the music would change flawlessly (at least to me I thought it was good). All of the footage was captured using Playstation's video capture. Let me know what you guys think.
And of course, all things in this video are owned by Square Enix and if they tell me to take down the video, then you know what happened.

Never got tired of this part

[@JohntaeFlame]

I love this part it has been stuck in my head for over a day 0:46

[@moistfloorsock]

1:21 is genuinely the best part out of this entire battle i can’t get enough of it

[@Audacity_zx]

Same here so dynamic.

[@ProCoRat]

So, listen to the leitmotifs for clues: Everyone knows the FF7 boss theme is there, and so is the Shinra theme. But... why the Avalanche bombing run? And then you think, why did he know to show up when he did, right when Avalanche was showing up? I believe that's a clue that he is the primary benefactor and leader of Avalanche from the shadows, and he formed the group to both hasten the decline of his father while creating a 'crisis' that would allow him to drop the pretense of Shinra being an energy company and become a full-fledged world-government with a military dictatorship. Classic villain story, like Griffith in Berserk: "Present yourself as the solution to the problems you create."

[@holitinne]

Where is the bombing run? Sorry I can’t hear it.

[@rainingtacos7529]

I honestly hope that's the twist.

[@Bazerald777]

"Present yourself as the solution to the problems you create."
You mean like how MMORPG throttles their EXP gain and then sell EXP boosters? Gotcha.

[@ProCoRat]

@@Bazerald777 Shinra is evil, but not THAT evil.

[@nxdiaz5916]

@@holitinne Old post, and it’s not a one to one match, but listen to the horns at 0:46 onwards, and there’s a resemblance in the Melodie’s there and in bombing run

[@justinseang3019]

This part was played when you're fighting the Pride and Joy Prototype in Top Secrets challenge in the Shinra Combat Simulator.

[@codythefriendlyskunkboy1780]

I love how he wastes half of his ammo dashing around

[@JoeSmith-xp5ll]

Shotguns can load a variety of ammunition at once. Maybe that's the intended purpose of those shells, huge knockback to lead into a 'live round' up-close?

[@nephthysnoir3870]

0:35 is the best part of the theme. I'm calling it the chorus me

[@henrydnoah1799]

Good shit👌🏾

[@reggie9010]

Dude I’ve been looking so hard for this. It literally sounds like it could be boss music for a monster from Iceborne. Especially cuz the Iceborne “motif” sounds like its played multiple times throughout the theme.

[@rainingtacos7529]

Nice work getting the final part to happen perfectly.

[@IceCream_Sandwich88]

He's weak to braver. Homage to the original if you always used it on him in the OG

[@burritowyrm6530]

Really? I always used cross slash in OG i didnt know braver worked better

[@arnold666heartagram]

Cross Slash paralyzes him so i think Cross Slash is better than braver on the Original

[@whatwherewho86]

What I love most about this theme is that it's slick, just like Rufus in this fight. That and the amalgamation of all the themes.

[@joshuahardin752]

Prompto is jealous of this guy

[@WAyuso34]

What the fuck

[@erickk7571]

Also Ravus cause of the coat lol

[@PrimevalDemon]

The day of Shinra tryouts had no openings.

[@LuLuNyx]

27:56
I can hear a little bit of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

[@carrotpl]

Wait i didn't notice that!

[@seiyakurosaki4464]

Square Enix with the best soundtracks in the video games industry

[@Carosmyr]

To me i always thought this was an epic showdown in the original but was too easy and anticlimatic. I really love how they made this feel like a real showdown on the helipad!

[@AlphonseBodom]

You made a decent work!

[@Meatallic]

1:39 I hear a little bit of Dancing Mad

[@KaraOfTheSea]

Now I cannot not here that!!

[@qalexandria]

kefka x rufus..
...

[@stopbeingignorant]

Not just Dancing Mad, but Kefka's theme in general has that tune.

[@SkyrushFanboy]

1:30 this is so freaking good ;_;

[@caboulevard]

he can block the braver and the animation kinda cool

[@dragonfable66]

You want to hit him with braver as he reloads. Try.it or any attack when he isnt reloading and he WILL punish you

[@sebastiankuolcrimson1622]

This should've been the only Song used for EVERY Fight.

[@yrockerboy]

SYMPHONIC

[@tailedgates9]

God this fight was so sick. :D I preferred if this was how the Midgar chapter ended. Would have been perfect.

Rufus is the only person that disliked
