@@jackblack9605 Modern Kratos is an ok character but only works because of the previous trilogy, without it there would be no Gow of war. Well i don't think the new Gow deserve the title 'Gow of war'. To rephrese your answer, 100%, the people who say modern Kratos sucks or gone soft is because its getting carried from the previous saga
Pls let this be the end, i cant watch my favorite character getting milked. You call this improvement????!!. Kratos is a tragic hero thats why it works so well in The Greek games. The norse are a let down. Ahhhh modern gaming indursty is something else !!
5:20 to 5:55 fills me with so many emotions, a gratifying mix of old and new. Such a beautiful culmination of Kratos’ struggles , regrets and eventual triumph
@@errettraul5393 I agree. This is the part where he truly becomes Farbauti, and becomes part of the Norse pantheon, like Mimir, but for basically a very similar purpose/reason that Týr did, too (which is part of the reason why his father tortured him). Probably.
This isn't the end of Kratos' story by far. While I do think that we won't see Kratos in a while, this is merely the end of the Norse saga and basically his growth as a person. I assume since he's taking Týr's place, i imagine they will also make it so that Kratos also travels different lands and stuff.
There are many things me and my friends debated about with the new games, I personally love em, they dislike the rather quick change. But, honestly, this is a moment we all agreed was what we needed, musically, at least. This is all I wanted, too, and missed. Kratos' fight against his old nature and ways seemed a bit..underwhelming, but with his old theme and new theme battling eachother, before merging into one, unified piece of music, where they compliment eachother, it was everything I wanted from this franchise.
Im not exaggerating by saying this touched my soul like no piece of media ever did Kratos is a character i grow up loving seeing him achieve this growth reflects a part of us to see him overcome his mistakes with that much struggle yet succeed ,it’s really one of the most inspiring stories I’ve ever seen that gives hope for everyone to change and be a better version of themselves
I feel exactly the same way. its hard to put on words how we feel when remembering his entire journey, his growth, self-forgiveness, and this "finale", a god-worth one. My favorite character ever!
Guys its a video game. Gow of war was meant to be a ruthless killing machine. While i don't mind the character growth he received, its just not the same game for me sadly. It saddens me seeing People, loving games just for the story but not for the awesome gameplay old kratos was know for. Gow will always be tragic hero to me. That's a better outcome for him, in my opinion
*"I am not the same man you found that day."* Indeed Kratos, you've become better than that man. Enjoy your triumph and redemption, for they are well-deserved.
WOW Guys, look Kratos now is redeemed of his actions of his past deeds and now is a cool character!!!!!!. Some people never change, no matter how hard the try. That's why Kratos, will and always be the old Gow. Tragic hero at its finest!!
For the only time in the Norse series. You can hear the Greek influence on the sound track. Fitting that the only time we hear it is when Kratos confronts his past.
Such a great DLC, most people thought it's just another muspelheim, but boy did SMS top all our expectations 👌 BTW: they mentioned that greece was rebuilt with the help of tyr, I wonder who rules olympus now in the absence of both its gods and kratos 🤔
@aniruddhnaik5277 I think Apollo was long dead before gow 3, he never appeared personally in any of the games, just the ruined statue of him in ascension.
Cory Barlog confirmed the presence of Christianity. It is very likely that the remaining Gods "disappeared" over time as actually happened in Greece with the arrival of the Christian religion.
Týr showed Kratos that there was more to being a God of War than just mindless conquest and slaughter. Ares was quite possibly the worst example Kratos could've had
I know they can do another GOW game because of the money this saga makes, but from a narrative perspective, as I like to see all stories, this is the perfect ending for the character. No need to continue at all. I like when things have an ending, and I like it even more when it's so well-rounded, written and perfect as this one.
Like all good stories, the GOW saga ended beautifully with the hero becoming someone else, someone better than he started. But the other aspect of these good stories is that they end with a sense of "and the hero went on to have many adventures...". The following games could just be some of those other adventures. I just hope the writers don't forget the evolution of the characters. Kratos is now the god of hope. He's still badass, but he is different. The new games should keep that in mind and I think they could be good.
With how everything's been set up, it seems more likely that future games will follow Atreus as the new protagonist while Kratos gets to kick back and have the ending he earned, while still being active enough for the occasional father-son ass-kicking cameo.
Him seeing himself makes me wonder how many people wonders what to say to their younger selves? How we were all young, angry, relentless sometimes, broken. As we grow old we tend to be better than before, but what would we say to ourselves, if we confronted our past? Would most of us forgive? Forget? Placed ourselves in service? These days it gets harder to be a good person. Seeing kratos the most hateful protagonist finally forgiving himself makes me think that there is hope, despite what the past had been. Truly a whole nother change of character Kratos is.
There is nothing to say. You are at this very moment the result of all of actions and decisions made in your life, whether by fate or choice. Your past doesn't care about whatever reasoning you use to justify who you were. Only your future will care about the decisions and circumstances you find yourself in.
The first time,he became a God only because the Gods didn't wanted to fulfill his part as that would've mean losing their best slave. He was still a slave but with luxuries. He got drowned on anger and hate that put his own people at his service. He lost everything when his masters saw that he was no longer a pawn easy to manipulate. His first throne was a luxury one because he was above the humans like all the other Olympians. The second time,he's just a man that willing puts above others to guide them,without think they're below him. He's at the service of mortals without asking something in return,either a material thing or the eternal service of others like if they were slave,and that's because Kratos's second throne is a humble one made out of rubble rather that a luxurious one.
Es impresionante el trabajo que hicieron en todos los apartados, musicalmente es sublime. Jamas me imaginé que un dlc podria tener tanto trasfondo, es increíble, un final perfecto para Kratos, una inclusión impecable de Týr donde nos demostró su poder y sabiduría, y unos diálogos que no podrían ser mejores. Sencillamente perfecto.👏👏👏👏👏👏
What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant. And all that it did not. A god of war… a god if pain. Of suffering. Of destruction. The Norns said I chase a redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? A god of FOOLS. A god of……. Hope. “When all else is lost…” YOU lost everything. And everyone. And you became… there is no forgiving you! You CHOSE… I chose… What now? Should I, this same man, should I sit? Take? Proclaim? Lead? Place myself in service? In service… Should I… lose everything and everyone… Will there still be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have hope. You are CRUEL, and ARROGANT, and SELFISH. But…you are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw. You are MORE than that.
It all comes full circle. This is the culmination of eighteen years of love, Compassion, grief and Hope. I grew up with this series and to finally see kratos use the hope those along his path have given him, to use it once more to defeat the strongest god he's faced. Himself.. None of us know what tommorow will bring, but whatever our past is or was, doesnt matter but only the choices you make forwards now do. Kratos takes the seat once more, embracing it and using it to better the realms instead of himself. Mimir at his side, i feel aswell atoning for his time at odins side, choosing to help another god but this time, for the better. For the wiser. Do not be sorry, be better. Everyday.
I can write essays about how truly magnificent the ending scene is to the Valhalla dlc. Kratos is a man who has lost so so much. His brother, his wife, his daughter, his people, his homeland. All out of a rage he didn't truly understand. He did what he saw as right at the time. Blinded by emotions he couldn't fully control anymore. Now, he gets to reconcile with his old ways and himself in a throne with no purpose. I cried so hard at this scene for multiple reasons. But I lost it when the young Kratos disappeared and he sat in the throne giving it a real purpose. A clear message that Kratos has finally accepted his past and let go of the hate and regret he had of himself. Young Kratos didn't talk because he didn't have to. Kratos knew everything he would say. Once he sat in the throne. The old regretful God of War died and the new acceptance in the God of hope was born. I like how in the lighting of the scene, it looks almost like the ashes are gone and his real skin(his real self) was revealed again further signifying my point. It is such a perfect scene of resolution and finality for Kratos.
I like how it starts with gow 2 music, fades to gow 4’s almost soothing melody to straight up combining both in a triumphant beat. He really does feel like gow 1 Kratos now, a broken man seeking peace
I was looking for the music that appeared at the beginning of the ad display on the add-on in the Game Award event, and I did not find it. The hymns that appeared before Kratos appeared at the beginning of the trailer. Can you write its name for me? Thank you.🌹
Amigos mios si este es el último God of War no estaré triste porque es un final perfecto para Kratos paso de General Espartano A Dios de la Guerra a Guerrero en busca de Venganza la encontró a que precio se sacrificó para darle la Esperanza al mundo para arreglar lo que en un principio provocó ah volver a ser padre y esposo para posteriormente volver a perder a su esposa de diferente manera y enseñarle muchas cosas a su hijo para ser al fin un Dios de Esperanza y por otro lado si lo vuelven a traer a Kratos me gustaría que fuera hacia la cultura Egipcia
Lo creadores comemtaron que eso no es el final aparte de que tyr use el Valhalla para luchar su pasado con lo griego y el presente con lo nordico para luego pelear con el con armas extranjeras puede que no sea el final pues solo vimos el arco de kratos de sparta y la guerra griego pero falta el dios de la esperanza y el nuevo nordico de la guerra probablemente no acaba ahi
Kratos will miss his brothers diemos After kratos ends of he journey adventure Diemos:kratos long time no see Kratos:diemos diemos😢😢 Diemos:😊😊good bye Brother see you in afterlife Kratos:diemos dont go!!!! Diemos!!!! Kratos:😢😢😢diemos Kratos:good bye my brother im will miss you
I emphasize and insist that the Nordic legends may be impressive, fantastic, unique or cryptic, but when it comes to Greek theater, especially Greek tragedy, nothing surpasses it. (well done old friend)...... "THE DESTROYER OF THE 12 ARMS"
At this scene I was expecting Kratos to fight his younger self, but this... I was not expecting him to outright talk through his trauma and find strength to forgive himself. This was a much more powerful, and beautiful outcome than the expected one.
