Man was bored out of his mind of not having a proper fight, and Clive gave him just the kind of enjoyment he was longing for. To add even more insanity, he's always been the loyal servant to Ultima, and once Clive shook his will, Barnabas became *_UNHINGED._* The maniacal laughing, the fact he said "F**k off Ultima, I want this fight to myself! I don't care about your ideals, let me have this!" - he was desperate to finally have someone who could match him.
Barnabas was such a hyped, badass, depraved character. Such a complicated yet simple foe. Perfect for Clive to overcome. Barnabas was one of the few characters that took Clive EVERYTHING to defeat. A worthy challenge.
Titan and Bahamut may have had more spectacule, may have felt longer But as an Odin stan, this fight was everything I could have asked for. I literally stood up when you used Zantetsuken against him and I didnt sit back down until the end
This^ I found the battle against titan too long and tedious, enjoyed the one against bahamut, but this fight was perfect. Perfect lenght, song and gameplay.
Long have I suffered the disappointment of lesser rivals. But no more! O my constant congregation, salvation is come! Rejoice as our souls are granted peace unending! And how do you know this day will come? What proof have you?! Why, you, Mythos. Your mere existence is proof of the Lord's grand design. No! I'll never serve your god!
Barnabas dropping the act was a thing of sheer beauty. The dude was the most insane of the bunch but never got the chance to fight an actual worthy opponent. So the second he met one, he became *unhinged*
Endwalker released 2 years ago, and the soundtrack was just released on streaming last month. This is how CBU3 and Soken do things to further their CD sales.
