Sonic Frontiers OST - I’m with you

"Mortal, you have served your purpose. Now face your End. I am the all-consuming void. What can one mote of golden light illuminate within the abyss? Countless stars. Countless worlds. Countless lives. All fell to me, all brought to nothing. All the teeming chaos of creation? Brought to order. To neutrality. To nothing. I saw your mind as you ran through my prison. You have fought machines and gods. They were mighty. They were finite. I am Infinite. I am nothing. You struggle as so many have done before. You will be consumed like all those before you. I saw your mind. Your courage never wavered. Why? Arrogance? Ignorance? Stupidity? I was contained once. Once. Is that why? My captors bent time and space. My captors built a whole reality to contain me. My captors burnt their souls away to fuel their engines. And you? You glitter; you fly above me like a gnat. I am inevitable, I cannot be denied. You strike this incarnation with all your might. It changes nothing. You are not brave; you are not victorious. No matter what form I take... The End comes for you all!"

I like to imagine The End is Pluto taking its revenge for us deciding it's not a planet anymore.

According to Kishimoto, the true/physical appearance of the final boss hasn’t been revealed because it depends on how each one perceives what death would look like. Sonic, Sage, and we see different things. Just to clarify, we see the entity as the moon since the symbol of death is typically the moon in fiction. We never know what Sonic and Sage see.

Nice to see that Sage is following in her father’s footsteps of delivering grievous harm onto space rocks

"I AM INFINITE. I AM NOTHING." NGL, I laughed when it said that, I know it is supposed to be a hard quote, but I couldn't help but imagine it as a roast towards Infinite, who's indeed nothing

The End is stagnate. Super Sonic constantly moves at the Speed of Light. The End is a vast darkness. Super Sonic is a single, infinitely bright light. The End is an immortal being. Super Sonic represents the best of mortality. The End, is despair. Super Sonic, is hope. I truly believe, all of Sonic's fights, have been preparing him for this moment, and this song represents Sonic's sobering realization that this, is the thing he's always been racing toward.

The piano solo alongside Super Sonic flying like a shooting star was such a beautiful spectacle

“I saw your mind as you ran through my prison. You have fought machines and gods. They were mighty. They were finite. I am infinite. I am nothing.”

Never has a rock dissing me sounded more epic.

I just realized, The End is the embodiment of death itself, the end comes to us all, Sonic is facing death and even then he is still fighting like it's just another day.

"I saw your mind as you ran through my prison. You have fought machines and gods. They were mighty. They were finite. I am infinite. I am nothing." Such a chilling monologue.

The final boss being a MOON on the SAME DAY AS AN ECLIPSE IS INSANELY EPIIIIIIIIC!!

Fun Fact: Sage has the same voice actress as Rei from Evangelion in Japanese AND English. And with how this final boss ended and what the titans are, I don't think the casting choice was a coincidence

"He took your home world. He took your lives! Are you really gonna let him do is ALL over again?! I need your help. We can end this! Please!" That immediately gave me chills.

Y’know, some people didn’t like this boss’s gameplay but I find the “hey let’s take this silly minigame’s mechanics and turn them into something heavily plot relevant” very clever. It’s like “hey, all those skills you gained from this seemingly innocuous game thing? Use them to beat the final boss.” It’s like a game design Chekhov’s Gun.

I completely get why people would be thrown off by this as a final boss, but as a Touhou and Kirby fan i absolutely loved this sorta stuff lmao

I fully expect The End to come back at some point. You don't kill something as powerful as the incarnation of order and nothingness that easily.

"He took your home world! He took your lives! Are you going to let him do it all over again?! I need your help! We can end this! Please!" The build up to this fight and the music was just so damn good!
