Final Battle
Years of searching since I was thirteen. I finally found it. Thank you!
Yes I have came from death battle, bit coincidentally I have this game.
He's too dangerous to be kept alive!
Digital Devil Saga >> Persona 4
easily
Face God, a never ending train with the face of a Megazord! LET'S GO!
You're pretty good. *red eye lights up*
Sauce
Hmmm I wonder what video your referring to? :)
Shit man reward goes to this song for best Final Boss theme of all the Megaten/Persona series. Hands down. Second place goes to Battle for Everyone's Soul but this theme even manages to top that imo
I've never played DDS, where did I hear this
Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher from Death Battle maybe?
Isn't the track called "Divine Identity" though?
Good OST
This is so good. My experience with the SMT series so far is just SMT I, IV, and the Persona series (2 through 5), but maybe I should definitely give this game a look. The music alone is amazing, and that's why I fell in love with SMT in the first place.
That Gaming Author I haven’t actually played any SMT games, but I watched a let’s play of both games. I’d think it’s worth a try because of the Mantra system. It lets you build a character into whatever you really want. Have a healer that you think would be better suited as a damage mage or even a physical tank? You can do that. This is particularly true of DDS2’s Mantra system because it uses a hex grid instead of DDS1’s more linear system. The hex grid lets you access later stages of certain Mantra paths without taking the earlier ones, provided you plan your route properly. You also need to surround certain Mantras to unlock them, but you can partially surround it with multiple characters and it will work, giving a very interesting party dynamic. That alone seems like it would be worth any RPG nut’s time. Also, you know, there’s the fact that you turn into demons and fucking eat other demons.
the DDS are more story and character focused than most other smt games, and are probably my favorite ones, i would highly suggest them.
Fuck silent howl. Lol.
Time to overthrow God like always :)
Never got to hear this theme. My copy of DDS-2 shit the bed RIGHT in the middle of the Sun. Fuck me up dude. Didn't get to fight the final boss OR Satan. :P Heard the motherfucker gives Hito-Shura a run for his money difficulty-wise.
Not exactly.... difficulty wise, hitoshura still the hardest. Satan have more HP but if you follow the pattern of his move you still can beat him. Hitoshura on the other hand, have less HP than satan and still can learn the pattern of his move but what makes him harder is the RNG on the battle with him. When he summon pixie, you better pray RNG god is on your side that one of your party is asleep, or Gaea Rage gonna wipe your party.
So, Satan is more like Elizabeth? Also, I DID beat Hito-Shura, but I did it the unorthodox way. Have you ever heard of the Red Star strategy?
Pretty much. +more HP
I can't put my finger on what, but this song sounds REALLY familiar to a song I heard in Virtua Quest.
Still an epic battle theme!
"Piece of cake"-"You are pretty good"
Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher! This music is the perfect BGM for the knife fight of Snake and Sam.
Piece of cake
KO *snake proceeds to walk away bad-assedly from sam's bleeding corpse.*
@Diamond Warrior XD surprised you got the reference
"Holy hell!"
SMT, it makes me feel a certain type of way since I never got to play Digital Devil Saga, just Persona and Devil Summoner
This music track is so good and is a good showing of everything good about the whole game's soundtrack. What a better way to end an amazing game.
you are a futa goddess, fighting God, who is a train, in outer space.
SMT is a weird series.
madsli awesome
Awesome AND Weird.
"futa goddess" I'm crying.
I'm interested. Not about god, the train, or the space part tho.
Schle's not that hot. It's more self actualized enlightened being futa than sexy futa.
@floooooooooooooooood who's to say that isn't sexy in its own right?
Wait... really?
... For real?
wut, Jenna Angel is the futa, we have no idea which genitals Seraph has
Saleri Sinclair Well, Seraph has tits, so who knows if she’s got a vagene or pingu, or maybe both like Jenna.
"Piece of Cake!"
This song is awesome, though!
hahaha this video has been up for 7 years now. its the same one ive been listening to all this time. I always come back to listen every once in a long while. I never actually finished this game i got to the sun and idk i just stopped playing. But man are the battles tough. They are just unforgiving and its super easy to slip and lose a battle you have been dominating the whole time.
what number is this on the soundtrack of digital devil sega 2
man i could listen to this on repeat for hours
1:16 are you kidding...that sounds fucking amazing!
Kinda happy they put it in the death battle cause now people who never heard this can experience this epic music
Honestly when I heard this song playing I was like this is an amazing forget the Close Combat scene with Solid "David" Snake and Sam Fisher I need to know the title of this song and I read the comments and I found the title of the game that had this music...this is such an badass...amazing piece of music :)
Totally different game but it fits for that fight
@Skyler Rees This song would look like in would fit for saving the world from a an apocalypse or something XD
@Daniel Rincon Because that's exactly that song is about , saving humanity from the "Divine Identity". One of the great battle theme of all time.
+Daniel Rincon Because it is, have you never seen or heard of the game before?
@Simply Okami Well no actually i dont know what year this game was released i have seen gameplay of it for PS2 i believe so...correct if i am wrong...2003?
@Daniel Rincon 2005
@Simply Okami Ok good to know thanks
What video was this in anyway?
@ThePunkKing /King of the Derps death battle, specifically solid snake vs sam fischer
I wonder how much people used this before, and how much people have replied to this with: "You stole that thing from death battle!"
I think it's very cool that Death Battle used this in the recent episode. Not only did it kick ass and fit really well to the scene, but more importantly, anything that brings more attention to the excellence of Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, 2 of the greatest, most brilliant RPGs ever created, is good by me.
"You're pretty good"
Best to prepare for the shitloads of views Death Battle has brought to you.
"You're pretty good."
"Snake?....Snake!?....SNAAAKKKKEEEEEEEE!?!?!?!"
"Piece of cake."
haha im here cause of that
PokeSEGA64 Death battle is so good but nowadays it's really bad
Death Battle sent me here
D180223 same
Get ready to be bombarded with Death Battle commentors!
@Toudou Takatora that isn´t something bad, i heard about this game before, but really didn´t care at all about it now thanks to that epic theme i really want to try out this game and i am not so much of a strategy fan, except for child of light, the banner saga and xcom enemy unknown. See its not so bad since it made people like me try out entierly new genres.
@Weeb King The battle system makes it so it's high risk vs high reward. You have to strategize your fights because one wrong move could easily lead you to a game over.
@Weeb King yeah i know the difference but since i am fairly new to the turn based JRPG and the Strategy genere i just call them strategy style games. XD
+Takatora Toudou lmao whats up with all these death battle people i dont watch those videos was it an epic fight or something. kinda cool this game is getting a lot of attention though it was one of those like hidden but not hidden gems of the rpg past.
+cagallia athela The knife/CQC fight at the end of the fight(Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher) was spectacular.
Snake vs. Sam Fisher brought me here! JK Already knew about this song way before Death Battle used it, lmao
It's called Divine Identity btw, not Entity
God, I can recognize SMT music from a mile away. I think it's the style of the guitar.
+Devlin Burgess Shoji Meguro has a very distinct style
What a game, what a track.
the premise for this final boss is so.. wtf
+Divinehero1 nope
+EL TIO GALE nope what.. that doesn't even make sense
@Divinehero1 of course of no, is a sapce train with face, that is normal, dude
+EL TIO GALE its the hype train... of godly proportions
best part 1:17 T_T!!
BEST FINAL BOSS THEM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick, get him some help! He thinks his gun is an evoker again!
PS3 was harder than PS2 to program so these delays have caused many in this current gen. I won't say PS2 was easy either, because many developers in the West complain about the exotic architecture like Oddworld Inhabitants. But to say japanese developers don't fear complex architecture is a lie. I wonder why we haven't seen any games from Konami this gen except Metal Gear Solid. The problem with PS3 compared to PS2 and PS1 is that it didn't allowed mid budget games on PS3.
Uh... is it time for your medication? seems your logic just fell off...
While I cannot fully agree, I see no reason to fill this comment with insults. I think most of the newer ones are great though... well by newer I actually mean Nocturne and onwards... As for the nes games... blargh... and it may not be a pure megaten, but i am not a fan of the.. uh... the army of zin something , I forgot the first name of the main character... Raidou?
Not that i'm supporting him,by my previous comment, but all Megaten games are good.
And consequences leads you to summon your persona.
A opinion leads to consequences...
ATLUS, where are all the PS3 games... the PS4 is nearly out ;_;
MOST EPIC THEME IN MY FUCKING LIFE.
Apparently someone can't have an opinion
I never played DDS2 but this is officially one of the best final boss themes i ever heard.
My guess, or both DDS and DDS2 have a FREAKING soundtrack! I'm playing DDS and i have to say that what i love more from this game is the music -though everything else is great too-.
the intro can make an elderly to be drama queen...
@JudgementSword The Epicness blew their mind, and due to their loss of common sense they pressed the wrong button.
Meguro is a genius, and one of my favorite music composers, who else could create such epic music for such a number of games, and all of his pieces differ in style, that makes him by far, in my opinion, one of the greatest music producers of this, and the last decade
Four people's data was absorbed by God...
*fangirl squeal*
*Huge ass train would like to battle!*
@Tinhh God is the origin, all data comes from god and to god it returns. During an experiment to comunicate with God, Sera saw something that led her to inmense sadness, and when God felt that sadness his data got corrupted, making the Sun lethal to earth. The point of the fight was not to defeat him, they wanted to calm him so that Earth could be saved, and somehow from the battle Seraph would reach enlightment, making God recover his faith in humankind as he had been shown mankind´s potential
@popimpi The karma temple (or should we say Society) is no god, they wanted to copy God power, but screwed up the entire earth in the process. God isnt a very Personal deity to say the least, he actually started damaging the Earth when he felt Sera´s sadness during an experiment to communicate with God, and then all the data of the sun started to corrupt (its complicated...). The point is that they are not figthing to defeat God (he is not the douche of other SMTs, he doesnt have a personality)
i truly can't understand what went through the minds of the two people who clicked dislike.
Best soundtrack EVER!!!
horray for the infinitely long pillar
o...m...g i love 1:18-1:44...it makes me feel like i'm protecting my sister from this soul-eating demon. we're standing in a Whole Foods right...and there's this soul-eating demon wandering around for some reason and it senses fear and my sister gets really scared when she sees it and the monster runs at her ready to nibble on her soul and then i jump in between them and the demon starts to suck out my soul but my spirit is too strong then i use ken's ultra from street fight 4 on him.
Who else brought the special edition of the game that had the OST included with it?
@Tinhh "In us, the Karma Temple has engineered it's own demise." It could be possible that, in doing what Se(ra)ph and the others did, they denied Brahman stature of being "god." So in order to reclaim or lose it, he wanted to fight? I dunno, it's been a long time since I played it so don't remember everything. Shoji Meguro is a master though.
The picture looks like doomsday epicness with the black sun and all
@SuperPandas why?
great! my favorite
Well, match actually means equal or better...I think it's better.
Hahaha...yeah, it's good, isn't it?
this matches the epicness with the KH1/2 final songs, er...match = better btw :3
Yeah, I do, I got it with my DDS2: Collector's Edition, but upon further inspection, it IS Divine Identity. Pardon the mistake. ^^
My DDS2 OST does. And so does this video's title.
Actually, it's Divine Entity, not Identity.
Cannibalistic demons in our world?! O_o...Wouldn't they be considered like zombies, or something?
I dunno, one day I want to see a game with the sort of basic story of the DDS games, people start turning into cannibalistic demons, but in the setting of the modern world.
Yeah, I guess you're right. At least, we can always count on Atlus to make some great - Or just average - games to satisfy us! ^_^
Not really. Atlus doesn't really make that many sequels. Their main series only has three titles, damnit. The rest are spinoffs. I dunno, there's nothing more to add to DDS. The ending was round, perfect and tied up all the loose ends. There isn't anything else to add. Though, a game that adopts the Mantra system WOULD be great - probably one of the best aspects of DDS.
Well, alternate universe are always welcomed, for all I care. It could take place like many many years after the events of the first two games, or something. That'll be nice, don't you think?
No. Digital Devil Saga 2's ending wrapped everything up nicely. If they were to make a DDS3, it would have to take place in an alternate universe, with different characters. Otherwise they'd probably ruin the plot of the first two.
Well, we,re talking about Atlus, here. Maybe they can make some extremely great sequel to it, right?
There won't be a DDS3... I hope not, anyway. The game is perfect as it is, adding more would spoil it.
i want the ddS3 right NOOOOW i miss the embriyon team T_T
Dont forget the nasty dungeons. They can be a pain too. I like them better than the P3 and 4 dungons though. Those were WAY to easy for SMT dungeons
I think for most of his battle themes, particularly in the DDS series, Meguro likes to throw in a lot of industrial sounding stuff...which makes it that much better X3
gh(dot)ffshrine(dot)org divine identity is the real name me thinks.
Where can you get the mp3 for this song
nice epic song really nice thx for upload XD
Ah, so it's called Divine Identity. >_> I couldn't find 'Final Battle' on the soundtrack.
its easy when u have drain ice elec fire earth and force for this boss but it dissapointed me when figthing hime cuz meganada is so hard without void phys
Seriously, this music is so epic! I honestly never played DDS2, but dam, it sounds like a typical Atlus game: amazing in every aspect- gameplay, story, & music-wise. Putting that aside, I just found one of my most favorite songs.
That is....PURELY a matter of opinion.
i wouldnt compare them there entirely different genres. DDS uses Nu metal(or i think thats what its called) and persona 3 uses mostly R&B music. usually when shoji meguro uses a music theme for a game hes making music for he sticks with it for that whole game. point is I wouldnt really compare this with persona 3's "Burn my Dread(last boss)" they just cant really be compared i think.
Either way they are composed by the same guy so all Mega Ten music is great
Damn O___o
this game is hard but it has great music.
hmmm i agree with you with your listing for this song~ there are better one's but this one is still awesome :D all smt soundtracks are awesome
Wow. I want this game now. Gotta finish DDS1 though. Good game.
Oh, this brings back beautiful memories of an epic game and an epic final battle.
Hey SupraDarky i like the choice in your VGM i like them all!
The list is in no order. :) I started at Best VGM 01 and up.
wow... what can i say, but... it's just so great! it should be much higher up on the list, but, then again, i haven't heard the rest of the list. and it's always impossible to make a perfect list, because people always disagree with what they think is better. but so far, yours has been pretty good! ...mine would be better, lol :P (to me, anyway. opinions, remember? you member, member?)
The best song in the game. It's so perfect for the final battle of this game. The chorus really has a sense of finality.
So THAT's what I stumbled onto in the Boss Battle compilation music. I should have known it sounded like a Shin Megami Tensei song.
oh man this is nice music!
I've been looking for this *forever!* thank you so much! ;)
It's awesome that finally I found another person who likes all these songs. Some like this game I just got from the music of it and I liked.
Great song! The regular battle music is among my top favorites too.
Never played the game but that song sounds awesome. I'd like to hear a few more if got them. :)
It's okay :) I'm guessing it's not a reoccurring character in the game, then?
Good point! I removed the name. :P I don't think it's too much of a spoiler in this particular case though! Sorry. ;P
It sounds great, but now I'm spoiled to the Final boss's name if I decide to play it :| Oh well.
