One of the greatest things abt this bossfight is the perfectly implemented QTE at 17:19, it happens so seamlessly and done so elegantly that you just do it out of instinct and immerses you even more in the climatic finale...
I feel like Jena might've had a good idea but went about it the wrong way. She kept being cryptic about her plan instead of properly explaining it. I think her plan was to turn everyone into chimeras but with a human consciousness. That way the Chimera would stop instinctively attacking them and they could coexist. The way she went about it was wrong though. I think she also knew about Chimeric fusion and that it could cause a self destructive power boost and had been (all too subtly) warning the main character. She was very contradictory in her approach. She didn't once properly explain her plan and instead of trying to explain and convince them of what she's doing is correct, she tried to convince them with force. She could've them take her in, let them interrogate her, and she gives the full explanation and then let them decide whether to stop her or help her. But from the way she was acting, she may have had limited time to work things out that way. Like maybe she managed to keep conscious control of her Chimera form but was slowly losing it. Not sure about that but something was giving her a time limit.
I think her plan was to keep Humans out of the fight entirely. Homunculi absorb Chimeras without any effort, effectively cleansing the areas they scour. Jena probably wanted to use the Homunculi as living bulldozers, trampling their way through humanity's enemy. While humans keep them under control. Problem is, she explained it super poorly. It was as if she tried to be a terrorist/villain instead of bringing her point across. Also, how in the fuck did she expect to control her sentient bulldozers? A single Homunculus can devastate entire zones, giving little fucks about who or what they destroy as long as they get to absorb more chimeras.
@@justascarecrow6988 that sounds pretty cool. I agree she Just wasn't trying to explain anything. She kept acting like she was running out if time. Aaaah I want a sequel! Or a spinoff or something explaining exactly what she was doing
The reason why she couldn't explain it is Yoseph. He's the one that trapped her in the Astral Plane. She was in the way of his plans, and he sent her off to die. Even if she surrendered peacefully, he definitely wouldn't give her a moment to tell anything to us, especially anything that could jeopardize his goal (which is what the time limit is)
I have to admit, before chapter 8 I had a really bad time with the game, especially with the platforming parts. However, I was really digging the combat, especially the boss fights. Moments like this really make the game worth it, in my opinion. I'd say it's definitely an 8/10 and cannot wait for the sequel to improve on all the rough parts of the first.
Am I the only one who likes to appreciate the amazing entrance the protagonist does at the beginning Landing from a helicopter then telling your sword legion to just sick em is awsome
It is very unfortunate that her character didn't last long. I feel she could have been very pleasing to interact with. She seemed to have a good heart. This fight was not pleasing one bit. One of the few characters in fantasy I mourned for.
Honestly, I wish there was some sort of choice for who we could side with. After going through the entirety of the game I would choose Jena over Yoseph any day
It's funny because there is similar game in the end of ps2 era when you can control some kind of "stando" partner to fight beside your character. The game is called "Chaos Legion." In this game, your "stando" partner is called Legion.
Man, Jena's final phase looks like Solaris from Sonic 06. Which looked even more badass than that game I mean look at her! She looks like a demon god in that form!
@@fatalis-quest1709 yeah I can't wait either. I really love this game. It has that xeno and nier automata feel to it and I love it! Something about the sci fi setting makes it awesome.
This game was going to be chaos legion until Nintendo told them that a cyberpunk game would be better than a medieval game, since there are too many medieval games, this game is also more than just fighting, it is actually about investigating and talking with the people like a cop, is a detective game with hack n slash fights
Even i saw immediately that this Yoshep guy was no good, and just from this scene. So it's quite amazing how dense everyone protecting him is to not see that. (Or maybe too much anime and betrayal scenes made me spot him fast, but i don't think that's the reason xD)
Well, we got to see a few shady scenes the other characters didn't, besides, the main character and akira are police officers, they can't neglect their duties.
@@Kit76879 Well i didn't see anything besides this scene, and i knew from the start after he and the "boss" woman talked that he was a NO GOOD. So those policies are idiots. xD
@@eiyu-okuroryokan2634 Even if they realised they can't do a thing, he is the boss, you know, the one that paids them, if something happened to him they would be arrested.
@@Kit76879 I do get all of that and that's what's stupid in this scenes. I mean he fought until the limit to protected him only to get "killed", better kill that bastard and be arrested after. But this scenes are always like this so nothing wrong, i only think his morals should be more important than his job, and this guy clearly is bad. Besides it was not just about his job, if it was then he could have let the other kill him when he lost her on the roof and then defeat her.
Jena Anderson is similar to Silas Miller from the TV Show, A.T.O.M: They both worked for powerful business men (Jena Anderson worked for Yoseph Calvert, while Silas Miller worked for Janus Lee), both were betrayed by them, both tried to kill them in revenge later on, as well as the respective protagonists, only to be defeated by the latter, and both tried to warn the protagonists of their respective superiors true natures. But due to them trying to kill them previously, the warnings were completely ignored.
The legion fusion is pretty cool. It does cause some concern for the main character like "Oh no is this what He/She will now look like?" Problem is once you can control it, the damn thing takes an eternity to charge! It went from "Oh God! What's going to happen now?!" To "Oh come on already!"
Fernando Segovia I like it. It makes it feel more real than the other games that make no effort into putting sounds in the characters movements. You know when characters run and punch and make no noise whatsoever
@@friendlyfriday3445 I can see the effort to make the movements feel stronger in this cutscene but I wouldn't say it feels more real, this is more like Batman's hits in the Batman Arkham games where whenever he hit an enemy it sounded like an earthquake, they put effort but it comes out as funny rather than realistic or stronger. Still, I like the feeling it gives to the game.
The English voice acting was trying to mimic the Japanese one where stuff like that is very common. Issue is, the voice direction was definitely made for Japanese voice acting in mind and not English. In English it comes off as kind of forced and awkward at times. Japanese feels hell of a lot more natural
While this wasn't the hardest boss in the game, far from it actually, it was the most climactic one in my opinion. And the music... Holy noah the music.
I haven’t finished this yet but I was kinda expecting we’d side with jena at some point since she gave us that tablet in the astral plane... but no she just dies. I wanted to know more about her :(
*calling both Jojo and Dante from DMC 5* yeah uhhh...did u two make out and have a baby? Cause I found your baby right here *pointing at the monster* =w= Jokes aside, does that thing even have a name? Like I get Beast, Sword, Arrow, Arms, and Axe Legion but...what's the name of this one? ^^;
TheKageichi sooo...you think it’s name is just Legion? 🤔 Personally, I thought it’s name would be based on their job (Neuron) or from Yoseph’s experiments (Noah)
It's a fused Legion. When a human is on the brink of death and happens to master the Legion, the Legions survival instinct will kick in and make sure that the human do not die.
I didn't trust Yoseph from the very first moment I saw him, and I felt like there was a reason why Jena was doing what the did. Jena deserved better. She was trying to stop him, of course she probably went about it wrong lol Jena Deserved better.
Does anyone know what happens when you fail to spin the left and right stick enough times when you’re trying to restrain yourself from hurting Akira? Do you actually kill her?
It was painfully obvious how Yoseph wasn't right in the brain, not to mention the main baddy, yet the game forced you to defend him until you finally got betrayed. The gameplay was excellent but the villain sucked.
@@NaikoArt I've checked and that's not the track I'm looking for. I'm not talking about the music that plays during the fight. I'm looking for the one afterwards that plays when you're trying to keep control after fusing with your legion.
