It's been about a year since the release of Sonic Frontiers, and the game has changed a lot in that time. In my original video on the game, I was a little skeptical about this new direction for the series. Despite having solid characterization and fun character moments, I found the plot as a whole to be rushed and borderline unfinished in a lot of areas. The open zone, while vast and providing a fluid gameplay loop, felt visually uninspired and wasn't very engaging. The combat, while flashy, was heavily skewed in the players favor, which made most encounters pretty same-y and boring, even on the highest difficulty. Cyberspace, while a neat idea on paper, boiled down to worse versions of pre-existing stages, and as a result didn't hold my attention for very long outside of the few original levels near the end of the game. Despite all of this, I'm happy to say that after some recent updates and changes my outlook on the game has changed for the better. Some of these changes are just smaller quality of life additions, but some bring new modes, abilities, and even a free story expansion that acts as an alternate ending. These updates have done a lot to improve my thoughts on the game and make me more confident in the direction of the series going forward, so I thought it would be fun to take a look at what's changed now that all the content is out. Without further ado, here's my analysis of the Sonic Frontiers DLC.
This video covers Sonic Frontiers Post Launch DLC. In this video I talk about how Sonic Frontiers has completely changed. Thanks to the Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC, I really like Sonic Frontiers and am looking forward to the next Sonic The Hedgehog Game.

MFW when she finals my horizons 😳
Damn
ee eh ee eh
Watching Frontiers blossom into this wonderful showcase for Sonic Teams talent and commitment has really been such a heart-warming experience, as it finally helped prove to me that they never lost their flow, they were just held back by their own publisher time and time again.
I'm right there with you in not only being excited for the franchises future, but with feeling confident that what comes next will showcase just what this team of talented developers can do.
Amazing video as always homie, loved the energy, humor and the pacing of it all. Despite being 45 minutes, it barely felt like I spent 20 watching, which is a testament to how engaging it was to watch.
Looking forward to what's next, Keep up the great work!
wierd notes for The end fight:
The part where you need to dodge while attacking Supreme's face to attack the cord is not the first time we see this implemented in any of the titans.
2 features of the Knight battle is ported to this battle
in the first phase of Knight, you can skip the shield-riding sequence by performing 1 combo.
BUT before the combo ends, you need to dodge to the right to throw the attacks to his face.
if you don't know this trick, you will NEVER finish the fight with The End.
another part of the Knight battle is the ending cutscene. where Sonic knocks his sword away, and steals it with Cyloop.
You don't get to do this yourself, but when you realize Supreme's gun is targetable, AND STEALABLE via Cyloop, the game is basically telling you:
"Hey, rember how the knight battle ended? *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE* "
Frontiers, mainly with its DLC 2 and 3 content proved to me that Sonic Team really do know how to make a really good Sonic platformer
The movement and level design in DLC 3 specifically is what I’d call genuinely some of the best 3D Sonic has ever seen and this has all been done in a free post launch content update, in a game that was never built around these mechanics no less. That and the game being very obviously rushed and lower budget than it should’ve been
Considering the success of Frontiers, the brand as a whole and Sonic Team gaining more members and budget, can you imagine what we could see in the next one if they play their cards right??
The next mainline Sonic game is one of my most anticipated of all time and we literally know nothing about it, it really could be an amazing game
I just hope they don’t get fucked over again
Also great video btw the production value is shockingly good
The final horizon really shows that sonic team has talented and skilled developers all they need is more time and money to be able to create their vision the way they want.
Lets hope Sega gives them the time they need for the next game
Always believe in hope
for the master koko trial... JUST FRICCEN SUPER PSYLOOP ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD, I BEAT IT ON HARD MODE WITH 140 RINGS LEFT
I also beat it on hard, the only hang up for me was wyvern cause I suck at parries 😭 Was still pretty fun though
@@JP2427 you know good for you, you're a real gamer, it's all these kids whining about running out of rings I have a problem with
Sonic Frontiers makes me hopeful for the future of 3D Sonic games
idk why people call final horizon the alternate ending. Its clearly the true one. To me this is the story they wanted to tell, but didnt have much time for due to the deadline
It is seperate from everything and not the ending you are going to get if you just follow the mainstory. By definition, that makes it the alternate ending, even if it is the true ending.
@@lpfan4491 ig that's a fair point
I still remember how hyped af both of us were in that vc over the final scene good times 😂
This game went through more transformations than Goku
You mentioned that no other fight has you switching Target, but knight also has this mechanic when he has his shield up, but its never communicated
I had no idea. I think that speaks more to how vague the game is about it than anything lol. Thats good to know though, Ill have to try it next time I do that fight
they made my boy knuckles great again???????
Hes rougher than the rest of them, the best of them
OK SO ABOUT THE CORD, IT PISSED ME OFF TOO. But......the game tells you about that mechanic at the very beginning...I just never used it.
peak video tbh
20:00 Yesn't, I cheesed them.
37:02 My biggest jank-moment is the 4th tower. Not only were the rail launches wack and seemingly random(I didn't get better at them, I just got more lucky.), the tower is also unbeatable on Switch because a spring just does not launch you anywhere near high enough. So yeah, one needs to use easy mode to get through there.(The extreme mode-players are probably looking for a way to glitch-launch yourself up there, otherwise they are stuck. And then they get smacked in the face by Master King's nonsense later.)
37:40 A lot of this is on a similar level weirdly, biggest example is the Ninjaboss that gives you 10 minutes when...you can beat it in like 30 seconds on average? The best parts were probably the towers(that work) because they are hard, but aren't cheap unlike a lot of other stuff here. And you aren't encouraged or even able to easily skip past. Meaning they are actually good design. Though I am absolutely not a fan of the lack of checkpoints...like sure, it makes it slightly harder, but it just produces more frustration than anything.(Kinda like how I wish they cut out the unskippable cutscenes and other timewaste out of the final trial, not actually add to it.)
38:41 The pains of inconsistent animation budget. Shadow, 06 and Unleashed have these superb CGI cutscenes sprinkled across and I wish that became the standard for ALL cutscenes at some point, but sadly no. But then Lost World and Forces showed us that cutscenes recorded in-engine could have potential for a lot of expression too, even if those games failed to capitalize on it...and then Frontiers just kinda feels dead for some reason? It didn't have to be like that either, the titan bossfights have more dynamic fluidity in their small toe than the cutscenes have in their whole being.
What's your opinion on the latest update? aka the most recent one that fixed some nitpicks ?
I was planning to get the game on pc
Great video JP !! o/
Fuck my sonic phase is coming back after this!!!
im sure a part of that is the edgy 2000s era music sang my kellen quinn titan music is a part of that.
He has done so well, they even brought him back for a reprise of the main theme for the final battle.
I swear you sound alot like bickuribox12 ngl
I took a lot of inspiration from him while writing the script so maybe thats why lmao
Hey! Always love seeing fellow small creators pop up on my feed! Consider me subscribed! And excellent video ofc :)
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
differences between the endings between the base game and the final horizon ending:
1. In the scene where sonic crashes into the ground as super sonic, the emeralds ditch sonic before hitting the ground.
meaning he took fall damage this time.
In the original, the emeralds left sonic AFTER he touched the ground.
2. White Sage gets to be with Eggman
3. The credits music plays "I'm with you" with a vocal track by sage.
4. there's an extra 20 seconds to the 2nd part of the credits. that got me happy crying the first time I saw it.
this is cool and all but where is the kingdom hearts 2 final mix video!!!!!11
Patience, you cant rush peak
even if the final update wasn't that great, they fixed the final boss so it's a 10/10
11:12
