That and the fact that he legit sounds like he’s bursting into tears on “You shall haunt me no longer” lend so much instant characterization to Igon as a whole.
@@TheCthultist yeah. Both the studio and this guy are awesome. He has been acting for over 20 years, but it's his first video game role, and he allegedly stumbled upon it randomly 😂
@@Carsu12 According to an IGN interview with him, he spent around 6 hours in the recording booth, plus a follow-up session, as Miyazaki tried to get the delivery to be just right. Also funny note was that he didn't really know who Miyazaki was at the time, but he could feel the presence and aura from him from the way everyone around him acted, like he was some unfathomable Eldritch being
@@worldlinezero4783Just being near him is enough to start a poison buildup. Staring directly at his eyes instantly affects you with every status effect know to Soulsborne players.
I mean, if this is the bar of what you consider "good," that says a lot about you as an artist/viewer. As an artist, though, your comment makes me weep.
@@ForeverLaxxIt depends on what you want to express. The sketchy/scratchy drawing style isn't high effort or anything but does a great job of expressing Igon's fury. Art style follows intent, and good art isn't objectively dictated by high effort or high polish, but more subjectively by emotion and expression. So yeah, I'd say it is good, and that doesn't mean that your work isn't also good. There's room for many different styles and levels of effort to be great works of art.
The true experience would be the "true drake warrior" being pummled by Bayle while Igon is shouting. Had to laugh a bit when he announced "true drake warrior" while I was getting eaten by Bayle.
@@Modie I was getting oneshot by the bite attack and hearing Igon say "YOURR FEAARS MADE FLESHH!!" while I'm literally being air fried .. I had to take a breather
Tried making this one more goofy to differentiate it from white whale, because no way i’ll ever reach THAT standard of art, just the absolute greatest of all time
@@calibula95Makes sense because to enter the DLC you need to kill at least two shardbearers which by itself makes us the closest to becoming Elden Lord anyone has been since Vyke.
I find it funny because igon has an eye patch over his left eye, but his spirit is so filled with vengeance, both his eyes are definitely bulging out of his skull.
i love the thought of the voice actor sitting in the booth not understanding what hes even saying but still dropping one of the rawest performances in history
fun fact, that is exactly what happened. there was an interview with Lintern recently where he had to have Igon explained to him. He thought Bayle was some guy instead of a dragon and knew almost nothing about Elden Ring in general. "When Lintern first received his lines for Igon, he says they were 'largely incomprehensible' to him. He understood that his character was in pain, and kept threatening someone named Bayle, but that was it."
Okay but let's talk about 0:57 here. The idea that even despite having his body completely turn in half, Igor is so angry and vengeful and the very sight of seeing Bayle now fallen still fills him with joy and no regret... it is insane and would have been a very fitting end for this character.
fun fact, igons voice actor didnt know who myazaki was, the game or his role specifically. dude rolled up into the booth and dropped the most hate ive heard in a while
He has voice lines for when he dies Unfortunately, we dont get to the win voice lines so yeah i think its an L (in my playthough, the guy was so based, he died ONCE in the 30 attempts i tried bale.)
I love Igon, I even had an Iron Tarkus moment with him. Bayle had one hit left, I rolled too early, one hit would have killed me. Then a harpoon came flying in from off screen, and nailed Bayle in the eye and Bayle died. That was my first victory. I was screaming, "OH MY GOD, IGON MORE LIKE IRON TARKUS!" I just did the ng+ plus fight against Bayle, unlike the first time I fought him. I did it in one try. I know Igon shed a manly tear.
I never noticed how Igon is almost crying once he finally sees Bayle fall. Whoever voiced him really did put every last drop of his being into that performance.
I was really into the Bayle fight so I did it solo But I made absolutely sure to summon Igon at the end so that we can finish him off together There were multiple times Bayle defeated me because I couldn't find the fog gate in the fiery arena And multiple times I dies after summoning Igon But on my final attempt I got insanely close to beating Bayle And then the giant lightning-fire-laser killed me BUT IGON WAS ABLE TO DEAL THE FINAL BLOW I JUST HEARD HIM SCREAM OUT OF SATISFACTION And when I came back Bayle was dead (I do make backups of my safe file before each boss so I listened to his whole scream afterwards)
Below are Absolutely the only two Vibes that Players walked away from the New Elden Ring DLC with: “Mohg did nothing Wrong.” “CURSE YOU BAAAAAAAYLE!!!!!!!” Mmm; Yes
Igon is the first NPC in Elden Ring that convinced me to give him a shot and break my no summon rule. That first try when he got in genuinely stoked to be there. He even remembers to name drop the tarnished in his monologue. I believe any challenge run with no summons should have the “Igon exception clause” Shit I have this video bookmarked to re-watch when I need motivation 😂
God, the "WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING" image goes so unreasonably hard. It gets across the sheer mania and rage that fuels this delightful trainwreck of a human being.
The Voice Actor gave it their EVERYTHING for these few lines and its highly appreciated. What a memorable performance and made the fight feel so much better :D
All jokes aside, that last line from him, "you shall haunt me no longer" has to be one of the most emotional lines in the game. That leftover anger melts away into somber releif. The subtle shaking in his voice is such a powerful detail that really sells me on this character. Not all of the rage and the determination, but that one itty bitty sound at the very end is what makes his character so great. Rest in peice igon, you are the only npc worth summoning for a boss fight
Igon’s story is truly inspiring, from a battlefield scavenger who wears soiled pantaloons, to a man of unrivaled conviction and ambition. Mastering and innovating on drake hunting even ancient dragon florissax recognizes it. He may have failed once but battered and crippled his spirit is still alive to conquer his white bayle
That slight quiver in his voice right at the end, had me like the weight off his soul must’ve been immeasurable. One of those NPC quests where I got to the end and really felt good with what I’d helped accomplish
“Thou all-destroying but unconquering Bayle; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.” Captain “Ahab” Igon to Moby Bayle
