Can I get some love for my boy Raphael. Dude's a literal Disney Villain. His fight in the house of Hope has been the highlight of 2.5 runs.
My first run I killed him in one round and had to reload to hear the conclusion of his song. Tell me that isn't nailing a Performance check. He bought 1 minute of life with his voice.
Everybody gangsta till they hear the boss singing his own battle theme music.
When I began the fight, my wife thought the song was hilarious. Since I had a lot of trouble with it, by the time I finished, she hated it. She'd start groaning everytime Raphael would start singing.
I think that was the highlight of the game for me, which is kinda wild because I only went on a whim. My story wasn't pushing me in that direction at all, just figured I'd poke around. Great fight, too. I'd been steamrolling everything for most of the act by that point, so it was nice to get challenged again.
The song was a pleasant surprise too. That, the harpy song, and the Ketheric/Gith battle music are going to be stuck in my head for a while.
Aw man, I decided to save and quit about 5 minutes away from this boss fight and now I'm super excited to play some more.
Edit: This was a great boss fight. "Liiiives, all mortal liiives, expiiire"
10/10 game for that battle alone.
From the first moment I met Raphael I kept expecting him to break into song. Didn't think it would actually happen but damn was it glorious.
Here come the claws...
"Lives, all mortal lives ... expire ..."
I'm at the door of the final fight, but House of Hope is my highlight of the game so far. I loved Raphael from the moment he appeared and his conclusion was as epic as was befitting him. I like him so much I might side with him next time. Among a selection of great voice acting I might like his the best, too. Not just the song. Great character.
I liked the fight with him but I was a little frustrated at how railroaded into it I was. I had planned to get in, and get out before he got back but it just drops you into a fight with him. I'd love for them to add a round timer and make it possible to get out without fighting him.
