It's one of the coolest boss themes I've heard in years. It makes you feel like you're truly up against something unstoppable, something that will test the very nature of your being.
Dude, this OST is SLAPPING so much, I thought it wouldn't be that good, but holy shit, they really never miss, this one had me on the edge of my seat. And this is like the third boss theme, can't wait for the rest, truly an agidyne OST.
Nah, it makes you feel like you are playing the best of turn based combat, there aren’t many games that hit that close to this level, but there are some. :)
I really enjoyed this game, I just wish the endings were a little bit different from each other and showed more ending scenes instead of just the credits rolling :'(
Nlg, during my fight with Yakumo I ended up 1v1 with him after my demons were slain. Felt the sweat on my back, but damn did it immerse me in the fight along with the ost.

Radiou 2: Nahobino Booglaoo Edit: Just beat Yakumo on hard, Nahobino only. Still trying to figure out lore-wise how an average human police office intimidated me this much.
Strong humans are beyond regular humans by a lot in Shin Megami Tensei. He's like Raidou except probably stronger because he's getting some god powers from being so close to Joka. That's why he has the yellow eyes. Same thing with Dazai. His eyes change when his thought process goes from "simp for Abdiel" to "BECOME Abdiel". Nanashi also gets golden eyes when he becomes the god of the new universe in IV Final.
Phys dampeners saved me. that physical atack that he stretches his sword basically killed any of my demons, even if they were full health. I simply deduced he used that every three turns, and that's when I used the dampeners. Might be a coincidence tho, and I just got lucky...
@@SaddestManEver Typically bosses go for their strongest attacks after charging magatsuhi. I could be wrong, but he likely charges before he uses it. I always use a type dampener for the boss' strongest move whenever they charge.
Spoiler for the Yakumo fight: Alice in that fight was perfect. I buffed her up so much that she started causing +1000 damage to Yakumo with die for me (even under leveled compared to him) Still Yakumo was a beast and I hope he is recruitable!
Now that I think about it, Joka and Yakumo were probably the two most difficult fights for me in my playthrough. Yakumo I really struggled to keep my demons alive against and basically scrounged to victory over like 15 mins. And Joka is basically the Matador of the game where you either have to grind levels or build your team in a certain way to beat her

Just got past the first Fionn encounter. This song's straight up Agilao +5. It and the Abscess battle theme are currently my favorite battle themes in this game, wonder if anything can top it up.

NGL, V is my first ever SMT game outside of tokyo mirage sessions though that's not really the same. And of course, I started on hard mode ;) And Yakumo was pain. Even doing all the tricks, getting the affinities right, lining up the dampeners correctly, getting my entire party up to level 49, beating him was still one of the closest things I've had in an rpg and I needed quite a few tries. Even with double defense buff on allies, double attack debuff on him and veil on my team every round his attacks would still oneshot my partymembers. And that's discounting deathbound which was basically just beatable with phys dampeners.
