Thread: Can we all agree... (3.2 Alexander Spoilers)

The entire fight is just gloriously designed as a whole, and I'm pretty sure this will get even better on Savage.

Has anyone else noticed how extremely well the music goes along with the fight? Like, there's the cheering (Goblin) kids right before the chorus part starts, and this happens at roughly the same time that Brute Justice fires its super-flashy Mega Beam, then the split robot phase starts while the chorus goes full force, and the song repeats as Brute Justice recombines after the phase. There's even more minor things such as the first Super Jump hitting at the same time the trumpets join in again after a shorter period that's relatively calm. Same thing happens when the explosion AoEs start.

You are now aware that in M4, you play the opening song of a Super Robo show for Gobbie kids in which you and your raid group are the villains. Boom.

It sort of goes out of sync after the first iteration, but I assume this is because it's normal mode. The second part of Ravana's theme, for instance, also only really works well on Extreme - where like half the mechanics line up with the song structure and lyrics.
