Friends, here’s new ff16 meme: https://youtu.be/IEnhHlWvZf0
Some may say this fight is not epic as Bahamut’s but I enjoyed this fight as a hand to hand combat feels like Dante vs Vergil lol

The funniest part of this is that Barnabas is canonically over 50

Que maravilloso fue esto su combate su personaje su historia su banda sonora. Amo ff16

Everyone keeps saying This is Clive vs Barnabas no Eikons. Did we do the same fight? This was Clive vs Barnabas and Odin. Barnabas Transforms several times vs Clive. So it shows that barnabas was out of his league and proves the team wanted to show odin but ran out of time.

For me, he and Hugo were skill checks. Cuz they made you knew how to properly use your eikons and dodge/parry. Barnabas more than Hugo for obvious reasons.

This song is just so badass.

中間社畜のテーマ

This is basically Ace vs Blackbeard 🔥⚔️🌌

0:54 the music and the timing where he drew his sword is so cool

Honestly a mano e mano fight with Barnabas was sick

Was a bit let down by the fight. It was good but I was expecting one last final stage of eikon vs eikon, ifrit vs oden would have been cool af. Have them jumping around the towers as they all get sliced apart n shit.

Barnabas stood out as an antagonist for me when, after 40 hours of explosive monster fights, he just picked up a plain sword and schooled Clive in the streets.

ifrit vs bahamut was about doing what you can to save the world; clive vs barnabus was about doing what you can to save yourself. they were both epic.

Final Fantasy music never disappoints me! I noticed this part even thaugh the fight was intense as hell!!! My favorite part 00:56 – 01:19

This honestly feels like a true test of wills and strength rather than a fight to the death. Neither Barnabus or Clive fight with their Eikons – only the abilities they are given by the Creator as it’s a classic steel-versus-steel clash. It’s fights like these that make it all the more worthwhile to show just what two men can do as they demonstrate their mastery over the Eikons. Personally, this was one of my favorite fights just behind Ifrit and the Phoenix against Bahamut.

Hmmm, we know Sleipnir isn’t an Eikon and that it’s basically just a construct of Odin.

Does this mean, given some extra time, the other Eikons could have their own ride of sorts? And if so, what should they ride?

Barnabas said the other Dominants use their power as a crutch, it makes sense you wouldn’t fully get to rely on Ifrit for this battle because Barnabas was meant to make “Mythos” presentable. A presentable vessel has no need to use an Eikon’s power as a crutch alone. I love that there was no proper Eikon battle for this one

잼났음.ㅋ

I actually think this theme fits this scene better honestly.

I still remember my first time fighting him i had 1 potion left by the last phase and had to play very carefully

I love all the major boss fights in this game.

“I had thought the tantalizing kiss of self-indulgence a dream forever out of reach.

And now that its sweet ruin courses through my veins I shall not be quick to relinquish it.

Show me your worth, Mythos…that I might revel in it!”

At first I was a little underwhelmed with this fight. Like all the Eikon battles were grand and so epic this one felt very small in comparison. And it didn’t help either the fact it was after Titan and Bahamut. But on my Final Fantasy mode play through I started learning the depths of the combat system and that’s when I REALLY appreciated this fight. It’s just a polished 1v1 that truly tests your combat skills.

To me this boss fight is like mixing a Dark Souls boss with Vergil (Devil May Cry) style move sets.

On a technical gameplay level, this is probably the most fun I’ve had playing this game. Surely it’s not deeply high stakes as Bahamut, but on a confrontation/clash of ideals standpoint, this sure represents so much at this point of the game, and I’m actually glad it has this “intimate” feeling of Clive’s conviction vs. Barnabas’

I hope That song for Dissidia Final Fantasy for PS5.

Barnabas should be the final boss. Ultima was so ridiculous compare to. Him

By far my fav fight in the game

lets be honest Odin is so weak compare to Bahamut lol. no wonder he cant conquer as long as Dion is there to stop him

I ve got massive Ganondorf and vergil vibes from Barnabas

2:00 this part is definitely inspired by Batman

Y’all know how this fight should have play out. In three phases and like this:

Phase 1: Ifrit vs Odin on Sleipnir, that resembles the of V vs Elder Geryon Knight from DMC5.

Phase 2: Ifrit vs Odin, resembling the fight of Dante vs Cavaliere Angelo from DMC5 yet again.

Phase: 3 Clive vs Barnabas

1:18
هذي الجزئية عالقة في رأسي

Though firstly disappointed of not fighting Odin with Ifrit, I soon realized it wasn’t a fight between them but between Clive and Barnabas, soon I was starting to get more and more into the fight, specially because when they clashed you could just FEEL the power behind each blow, I really started to like it when I could see that they were hitting each other so damn hard they forced themselves out of their Eikons!! Soon without noticing it became one of my favorite fights, I was probably too focused in fighting to notice it.

1:12 barnabas put ifrit down even without his eikon state.
that’s how OP he is.
barnabas is the most underutilized character in the game storyline-wise

Does anyone else vaguely hear Corpse Hall (Odin’s 14 theme) in this?

Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAAAAA!!!!

Odin is my Favourite but lets be honest. Bahamut keep Odin in check until Bahamut defeated. Bahanut threat more than Odin. very sad

I think this fight wouldve been perfectly fine if we got the chance to fight Odin as ifrit with shiva at the bottom of the sea and then clive loses there then this fight is fine as a man vs man fight here

Oh si, que extasisssss
Estaba buscando este temazo 🤌🏼🤌🏼

We need a game mode where it’s basically just eikon battle mode. So we can get a levitation fight and a Odin fight.

1:20 best part of soundtrack

This whole fight is just goosebumps i am not at this part in final fantasy mode yet but it’s gonna be HARD and i will love it ❤❤🔥

Human Clive is more powerful than became eikon -_-

Sections of odins theme really remind me of pandemonium, especially the calmer version

Barnabas was easily my favourite antagonist in the game.
The dude was thematically amazing and was a total badass.
Not to mention his voice actor gave the performance of a lifetime.

the game climaxed at Bahamut. felt like they intend to make Barnabas a really challenging opponent but it’s a RPG and they can’t allow people be to be stuck/die to him. The fight themselves were push over for people with action game experience making his whole character non sense

This fight was really fucking good even if it wasn’t as cinematic as the last 2 ones. Thematically it rocks

I love how the opening sounds like Cecil’s theme Red Wings without the progression. Barnabas is never growing. He’s going to die a Dark Knight.

God this fight lit a flame in me like when fighting Sephiroth in KH2. Just 2 swordsmen going full throttle, there’s just something about fights designed like dances to the death

Everyone’s making excuses because for some reason there’s an unwritten rule we can’t criticise the game, but let’s be honest most of us were sad we didn’t get Ifrit v Odin burning and chopping stuff down. Or Clive on horse. Barnabas is great but Odin could have been done better.

Damn, Odin is so cool

This guy kicked my ass pretty damn hard. Odin was savage and his eikonic abillities are really op. A nice reward for an amazing boss battle!!

Let’s be honest, King Barnabas is the most badass character in the game.
Dude is a legend. His Eikon isn’t anything bombastic. Just a Dark Knight who cleaves mountains and people in half.

Wait is that the guy who also sings in God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem Three Houses?

Barnabas was a cheesy villain imo. Despite his edgy Shakespearean dialogue I had fun fighting him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I also like FF16’s iteration of Odin design-wise. It reminds me of Golbez.

The music + what’s happening at 0:52 = A bliss for your ears and eyes

2:13 is so good, I really wish they had like another verse with these vocals or something it’s one of the best bits of music in the entire game.

I think this track’s name was released–its called “The Riddle”

1:18 onwards
hair standing on end

2:12
Lyrics:
The twain,
On ten feet run
Three eyes and one
Trained upon victory
Foreseen
With steel, darkness comes

What is this called on the ost?

shadow of the final fantasy

Love this fight. So “maniacal evil” boss in the right way

Now I know why Odin is the ‘last’ to fight… The skill is way too OP ngl

I personally think Barnabus was the most intimidating and terrifying of the dominants in ff16. the first two fights that Clive has with Barnabus, Barnabus was not even semi-primed he was only using his arm of darkness ability nearly killed him. the only time Barnabus semi-primes was after he goes insane in his boss fight and activates the quieting.

Another thing to take note was that Barnabus was able to switch to and from normal to semi-prime to primed states without much trouble on multiple occasions in a single day. compared to all other dominants, it takes so much out of the individual to initiate priming and come out primed states as seen by joshua and jill coming out of their primed states and are completely exhausted.

This song reminds me so much of the serpent trench music in ff6

Loved barnabas cus he was odin and voice actor for him was amazing other then that barnabas didn’t seem to have a goal he just worshipped the hell out of ultima and had no mindset of his own just a puppet

Man, if someone tell me in the past that there will be a Final Fantasy game where Ifrit use Zantetsuken on Odin, I’d wonder wtf is wrong with that person, but here we are.

this was the most fun fight imo

Aside from the quick mother issue, Barnabas wasnt fleshed out as much than the other characters. As sinister and amazing his design was, i feel he lack the background to really understand his motivations

The thing I really like about this fight is you slowly start to see Clive match and then overcome Barnabas, both in and out of his Primed state. And it’s partially due to him absorbing another Eikon just before this fight, but also due to Clive finally being resolved enough in himself to not let Barnabas get in his head anymore

The music is what made this fight what it was, the fight itself didn’t hold a candle to Bahamut whatsoever but overall it was still really good just for the atmosphere alone.

2:13 god shattering star singer?

underrated track. supremely composed and fits Odin and Barnabas’ will losing theme perfectly. phenomenal!

Keep in mind barbabas was this tough compared to the other eikons and didn’t do so much as sip the crystals power before we battled he wanted us to win. To complete mythos.

Playing this fight on FF mode with Arm of Darkness make the fight even more badass , you can parry his arm of darkness with your own definitely a true duel sword fight of the game

I see there’s some people sad that we didn’t get a full on Ifrit x Odin, but I gotta say, the duel, VA and fight mechanics left me feeling great. It was the most difficult fight for me in the entire game in a otherwise easy game. It was just so fun.

One thing that would have elevated this fight is a real, gameplay-integrated back and forth between Ifrit and Clive. It’s seen that Ifrit has the advantage over Odin, but loses to Semi-Primed Barnabas because he can move easily around him, while Clive can take Barnabas on the ground. You could have had much more transformation/detransformation between the two, a true duel of master and simulate “mind games” between the two. Plus, sick-looking Clive-Ifrit combos is something missing from this game.

At first I was really sad that we don’t actually get to fight Odin in full Eikon form, but honestly, the fight was just so good that by the time I hit by the last few phases of the fight it was in contention with the Bahamut fight for being my favorite. Barnabus is just such a scary dude, and this fight really pressures you the whole time. Bahamut edges it out by a little bit, I still think that was the sickest boss fight in the game, but it’s incredible to me how EVERY Eikon feels like it could be a final boss. I really think FFXVI has the best and most jaw-dropping boss fights I’ve ever seen in a game. Odin and Ultima definitely tested my skills more than any other though, I was really glad I did the sidequests for the extra potion inventory 😭

Is it me or that Odin’s helmet reminds of modred’s helmet when in her armor?

0:55 goes so hard

Honestly the lack of a real eikon vs eikon phase, for me, elevates this fight. It shows how powerful Clive and Barnabas are even when they don’t fully rely on their eikons. Sure, Odin and Ifrit come out to play, but in the end, this fight is between the dominants, not the Eikons.

That thumbnail is sick

Clive’s color is red, and Ifrit’s flames are red, but when he reaches the peak of his power (Ifrit Risen), his flames have a blue tinge, because blue flames are even hotter than red flames

Barnabas’s and Odin’s color is blue, but when he reaches the peak of his power, his swords give off a red glow.

Disappointing and extremely boring fight, just a relapse of the previous Odin encounters. OST is underwhelming, they should have used odins theme from the first battle with bahamut instead and transformed the last phase into an eikon battle. Fucking Garuda was done better than this boring crap

After the Bahamut fight i expected this to be over the top but it was kinda disappointing, Barnabas being a very boring character didn’t help either.

Love how Odin/Barnabas is just a silly guy

i don’t know why but every domini boss fight reminds me of the titans from attack on titan, the bosses are fucking well staged and if this doesn’t become game of the year i don’t know, good job square enix

Odin’s theme is SO fucking good!
I love that the Eikons themselves are barely present on the fight, and that most of it is just Barnabas, as he gets progressively stronger and more difficult to handle.
His song may not have been the most over the top or complex tune around, but I love it for it’s simplicity, it’s a dark, foreboding, intimidating tune, it not only fits Odin PERFECTLY, there’s this sort of malice in it that goes along with Barnabas’s character so well.
Easily my favorite fight in the game, not only is it incredible as a 1v1 duel, the visuals, the music, the story, everything is on point here, to make one of the most compelling boss fights I’ve fought on recent memory.

Odin is freaking insane

Odin looks like Garland from Stranger Paradise and I like it. Very badass!

I remember when i see for first time the moment when Odin put his sword in the sky.. and almost purging the world of me.. really thats seems like an “arcangel” clean the skyes of deamons. Awesome scene! and fight

If u’re a melee gamer, u will definitely enjoy Odin fight

Less epic than the rest, but I felt sooooo much more pressure during this fight
Constantly waiting for opportunities to strike
Perfectly suited a 1 on 1

probably not since i know nothing about music, but maybe Soken was emulating march of the valkyries or similiar vibe with this piece.

Can you please upload barnaba’s theme? The one were he mets clive for the first Time?? Plss 🥺🥺

The music seems simple and even familiar, but it’s still damn good. The fight is great, if it was more difficult, then I would say that this is the best fight in the entire game.

Odin’s abilities (after you defeat him) are really sick and probably the strongest out of all the Eikon’s. It’s a shame that his Zantetsuken ability requires you to have at least one other Odin ability to power it up, as having two will make it extremely fast to get to the final level but that leaves you with only 4 other slots for all the other Eikons.

I like Banana.

the vocals at 2:19 go so hard

地球は利権で泣いている！

At first I lamented we didn’t get a proper Ifrit vs Odin, but the more I thought about it, the way this fight plays out makes sense.
Barnabas, as a mere man, bests Clive twice. When they fight, it is as man vs man because it is as much a clash of steel as it is of wills. Sure, Barnabas is in complete control of Odin, but them mostly fighting as men drives that point even more, especially since this conflict is centered on whether or not man can defy god.
Plus, seeing Barnabas elated that Clive, as a swordsman, is giving him the fight of his live was a cool detail.

This theme is amazing, but you could’ve extended it 😢

This is easily the best Clive fight in the game. But man, after Bahamut I really wanted to control Ifrit against Odin. Qte only was a cockblock

Best fight in the entire game for me, 1v1 without megazords.

Legendary

I love this theme. Very heroic and kinglike.

The second most epic eikon fight

Man that theme is beautiful ❤

Honestly while I do think this fight is pretty weak compared to the two that come before it, the fact that it feels a lot like a Dante v Vergil fight I love

wow <3

A lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I really like this fight, 1 on 1 without Eikons, just your own skills

I really love how scarry the fight feels all the time, and the music is pretty much responsible of it xD

I hope whoever voiced Barnabas got a lot of money for that performance, especially the laughing.

Absolute awesome fight. Was my third favorite. Bahamut,Titan,Odin.

Kinda sad that we didn’t get a controllable Ifrit vs Odin fight but still epic nonetheless.

More so clive vs barnabas your hardly ifrit in this

Really awesome OST

First.
