@Exeter and
@Xephose I want to come over there and hug you both so bad right now. Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle were truly beautiful games in my opinion. Masterpieces of the PS2, and yet sadly forgotten by so many....
For me, music that makes me feel the events in the game are ESSENTIAL. The pain of the hero or heroine after seeing someone they vowed to protect get cut down right in front of them, the terror of seeing a hidden enemy finally revealed, the desperation to stop the apocalypse unleashed by the antagonist, without the right music driving those emotions, it doesn't feel real, it doesn't feel RIGHT.
You've just destroyed Omega in his giant form. Nearly the entire facility that is Weil's Laboratory and base is in flaming ruins. Yet as you reach the ground, something just doesn't seem right. You realize this is where you were awakened in the first game....but right under Weil's Lab? How much of what you "know" and "remember" is even true?
The truth has been revealed. Your body is fake. Omega is in possession of your original body, free of any safeguards on it's power. With no choice left, you steel yourself for one final battle against Weil's monstrosity. It's do or die here, you have to prove to everyone including yourself that you are better, that you are everything you believe yourself to be. This track is one of the best I have ever heard when it comes to doppelganger duels and proving one's own worth to the world and themselves.
While in my opinion the scene was pretty heavy hitting, the music wasn't completely up to par, though it still brought enough emotion to bear. Dispite your best efforts, Ragnarok has been fired, eradicating much of the city of Neo Arcadia. You've managed to stop it from being fired a second time, but that barely seems to redeem the sheer death toll of the initial strike on the innocent civilians caused by Craft's blind attempt to kill Weil.
Weil has fused with Ragnarok completely, and intends to wipe out the last place capable of sustaining human or Reploid life, outside of Neo Arcadia with the claim "Fools live under my rule and my rule alone!". It might as well be the apocalypse should you fail, and you know whether you do or don't, you're going to die anyways. Might as well go out with a massive bang, and save the world and your friends while you're at it.
You may hate me now. c:
