"Mordecai and Rigby! I want you to set up all the chairs. And if you don't you're fired!" 2 minutes later:

amazing

* The land quakes with justice. * The ocean wades with aspiration. * The stars shine with patience. * The air crackles with freedom.

The fact that the "SPARE" button is replaced with the annoying dog is just goofy but also smart in a way that both make sense and dosent too

There he is, the New Starwalker.

Average Kirby first boss:”Fight a tree or something!” Average Kirby final boss:

"Mordecai! Rigby! If you dont wash this singular plate, youre fired!"

* Don’t forget. * We’re all with you in the dark.

One thing i think would be really cool for deltarune's final boss would be if it pulled a Lavos (Chrono Trigger) and drug us through the dark worlds we went through already and forced us to fight shadow clones of the bosses of each chapter in pairs (king and queen, ch3 and ch4's bosses, etc) as phase transitions. What i REALLY want though is for toby to surprise us with one of the best finales to an rpg ever. Something completely unique, something that could only appear to you in a dream.

* It is the end. * The ANGEL'S LIGHT shines brightly. * Eyes stare at you from all directions. * The sky runs black with terror. * The land cracks with fear. * The ANGEL stands before you. * Your friends stand behind you. * Don't forget. * We're all with you in the dark. * Face the ANGEL'S might. * The air crackles with hope.

If Toby references or uses Penumbra Phantasm in Deltarune I will ACTUALLY shit a house of bricks. Also I have to just say how ABSOLUTELY GENIUS YOU ARE for warping the starting melody into "THE HOLY", that's unbelievable.

* It’s the end of the road. * But now it’s your time to- * …Wait, what’s wrong with the SPARE button?

YESS !! I'm so happy more people are realizing the Penumbra Phantasm - DELTARUNE connection !!

When Noelle transformed into the Angel and said; "I am the Penumbra that Phantasms", I felt that

The Original Starwalker's True Form

* Images of angels are burning into your eyes. * Act * Check * ANGEL: ATK INF DEF INF A being of raw and radiant power. Impossible to defeat. * There isn't a shred of fear in your body. * Act * DEFY (25% TP) * You stand before the insurmountable foe. Even after everything that's happened, every obstacle, and every trial you stand before the ANGEL with immovable determination. You didn't stop then, and no matter how the odds are stacked, you won't stop now. * ANGEL looks at you with disgust. * . . . * No. * That's FEAR.

my favorite part is when penumbra said "BEHOLD. THE POWER OF AN ANGEL" and ultrakilled all over the place

I like the idea that the SAVE points we’ve been using ever since Undertale have all this time been blessings of the ANGEL. That as we’ve grown stronger, as we’ve progressed, as YOU became more entrenched in this world, YOU were in turn giving the ANGEL strength, YOU were acting upon it’s blessing. And Kris, the real hero of light, the one YOU took control from has grown weaker, their tenuous grasp on reality slowly slipping as their control wavers. We didn’t know this of course, YOU presumably care about Kris, YOU presumably care about everyone. But the ANGEL manipulated us, the ANGEL manipulated Kris, now we’re stuck like this as Kris’ loses their DETERMINATION over their world, while YOU gain far more than they ever had. And now in THE END, the ANGEL is the one who takes that DETERMINATION. That power used to control the world, it takes it and reshapes it in the vision it so desires, but much like ASRIEL, that DETERMINATION isn’t it’s own, and as such it has less control over it than it should. So then in THE END, everyone’s combined DETERMINATION is enough to stand up to it, perhaps not match it, but enough to give YOU control once more, YOU are needed now more than ever because YOU alone have the power to fight the ANGEL. But YOU need others, YOU made friends through your adventures, friends that both YOU and Kris share. Now do they know the truth, a truth Ralsei always knew, he alone trusted YOU, he was never suspicious, but to the others he may have appeared as such, YOU were suspicious of him because YOU don’t remember the time that YOU shared with him. Ralsei does, he remembers all of it he knows YOU aren’t a bad person, he trusts YOU, that’s why he never gets mad at YOU, why even should you do something terrible, something like the Snowgrave/Weird Route he will still chose to believe in YOU. Maybe even your most rash actions have a reason for being, he trusts YOU, and only by learning of how much and why will we feel bad for suspecting him. YOU are needed in this world, YOU are the counter to the ANGEL. Kris can get to THE END all on their own, without YOU. As was shown by them being able to complete Chapter 1 without our intervention should we choose to skip straight to Chapter 2. Kris won’t do what we would though, they won’t talk to everyone, they won’t fight the secret bosses, Kris is capable, but they aren’t YOU. YOU need to do what only YOU can and will if the ANGEL has any chance of being stopped. Kris doesn’t realize this yet, which is why they lash out, why they fight back, but once they do perhaps their view on YOU might change. Sadly if things reset and the ANGEL succeeds, Kris will forget, everyone will forget, except Ralsei which leads us back to Chapter 1 and why he’s always so supportive. Why the ending song for Chapter 1 is “Don’t Forget” it’s Ralsei telling himself that he can’t forget what happened, that he has to be strong, that he will be with YOU in the dark because YOU need someone to help you. Because as was shown when DeltaRune first came out, YOU didn’t remember, YOU forgot, so he has to remember for us.

Finally, after all these years.... Zero Three

I love the "funny RPG about depression with a final fight where you need to kill god" vibe

(Game over screen) *It seems you have reached… an end. (Soul reforms) * *But you refused.*

*The true final battle. *That will set us free. *But one thing stay clear... *This is not about Determination... *This is not about Patience, Bravery, Perseverance, Kindness, Integrity or Justice. *The true Angel is here. *No matter the LV, no matter the Power. *Thats not what will win this battle... *A strange feeling starts building in the Delta Warriors chests... *A feeling so powerful that Determination can't compare. *Seven monarchs of the dark defeated by one element. *Brighter, yet Brighter. *Something in your Heart is so familiar yet so strange. *This feeling... *Oh this feeling... *The feeling of HOPE!

Everyone making all these deep impactful comments and I'm just sitting here thinking "This whole thing started with a kid messing around with his inventory."

"The power of LIGHT, The power of DARK, The power of HOPES, The power of DREAMS, ... The power of DELTA RUNE shines within you."

* The light is blinding. * The prophets kept their word. * You can feel the earth weeping. * A balance shall be struck. * The Angel's Heaven shall wait no more. * Strangely, you feel nothing. * It's only the beginning. * Goodbye.

People making Deltarune predictions using Homestuck songs and other of Toby's past work is the most beautiful thing. Also goddamn this just sounds beautiful I can't even point out everything done well this just legitimately feels like something Toby would use as a final boss theme.

* THE FALLEN ANGEL WAS MERELY… * A SIMPLE PUPPET. * I AM SURPRISED YOU HAVE MADE IT. * BUT THE END IS NIGH. * You feel the light piercing your skin *

As both a Kirby AND a Deltarune fan I love these types of final bosses

Lets think a bit about themes of some of Tobys Leitmotifs. Lets start with Megalovania, by far the most famous, and very well known to have been used in homestuck first. In both pieces of media it represents a climactic battle, against a merciless powerhouse who kills without reason. In Homestuck, that is Aradias assault upon Jack Noir - in Undertale, its against you. Both fights involve somebody who has become far more powerful than the "normal story" would allow (with Bec Noir being an anomaly indirectly caused by the Trolls' misformed Genesis Frog, and Sans quite literally calling you an anomaly). Both fights are very clearly in vain, and are rather stalling for time. I think that should be enough to establish a connection between themes where leitmotifs are shared. Moving onto Penumbra Phantasm. Lets see where its used in Homestuck: Most notably, its used in Umbral Ultimatum, on the page [S] Jade: Enter For you non homestuck fans, I'll quickly summarise. Jade, one of our 4 main characters, enters the medium (where the actual story takes place). Her dog is a God, for lack of a better word. Due to taking too long to enter, she is unable to Prototype anything; prototyping is _necessary_ but also imbues all enemies with the properties of what you prototype. In an attempt to save her life, her dog, again, a GOD, prototypes itself. She is now safe, but enemies now have literal godly powers, and Jack Noir, our main villain at the moment, inherits all of these abilities, making him completely unstoppable. Throughout the story at this point, we had heard a lot about "creating an unbeatable enemy", and how it should be prevented (note: people messaging them from the future). And yet, inevitably, it happened regardless. That is its main usage. It is used in multiple other locations of course; notably Saviour of the Waking World ([S] John: Rise Up), in which our main character ascends to God Tier after being slain. You may recognise familiar themes here, of the creation of a great power. Thats what I personally believe Penumbral Phantasm represents. But unlikr Megalovania, I dont believe it represents an _evil_ necessarily; just the consequences of your own actions. Finally some notes about Toby using these songs. Another Medium is a direct remix of an unused Homestuck song, Patient, which itself is a remix of a used Homestuck song, Doctor. The name itself is a reference to the Medium mentioned prior, and the entirety of Hotland seems to reference LOHAC. Toby is no stranger to re using homestuck motifs. My final note is what I believe is the most important. If you are going to skip my long rambling, please read this. Penumbra Phantasm is not a song we know entirely. Part of it was leaked, however. On Tobys polite request, it was asked to not be shared around. However, upon being asked for more details about it, he responded: "AT SHADOWS EDGE BREAK THE TWILIGHT REVERIE" And if that doesnt scream Deltarune to you, I dont know what would.

Ideas for how the key mechanics could work in this fight (assuming Noelle's with the main three): FIGHT - Four separate targets are shown on the attack bar, and each one matches up to the individual damage of an attack from one of the heroes. ACT - Multiple abilities can be used between the characters: - Red Buster: With enough TP, Susie can deal a good amount of damage to the Penumbra Phantasm. - Dual Heal: Ralsei and Noelle can collectively heal you by a great amount. - X-Slash: Kris can deal more damage against the Penumbra. - Courage: Raises your defence for a turn. - Supercharge: Powers up the Yellow SOUL if it is active. - FluffyGuard: Defends your SOUL from attacks. Up to four can be used at once. DEFEND - Due to it being everyone, using defence raises TP by 24% collectively.

* (A strange light fills the room.) * (It seems your journey is truly over.) * Thanks to HIM, the Titans have been vanquished. * But in order to banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN.....there is one final obstacle. * (You're filled with DETERMINATION.) Amazing job. I thought you'd not make anything as good as that Gaster Weird Run theme but this is really on that level, and I love the detail of the wings being pretty similar looking. Once again, splendid job.

"the song was supposed to be 4:13 in length" -video description Nice one

That Angel design is so good tho

I absolutely love how epic, emotional, and truly determined on how this final boss music is. Even if it won’t sadly be an official song in the game, it still sounds phenomenal and maybe one day Toby could possibly have the same leitmotif but better.

this has to be the best final boss theme ive heard this sounds like it could actually be the ending theme it doesn't depend on the motifs as much as the other fan made themes, and uses them in a meaningful way this song sounds like it could actually be used in the final game

* This power you were feeling... * ...was DETERMINATION.

As both a Deltarune and Homestuck fan, I love this. Brings so many memories. You took Penumbra Phantasm and you turned it into a song I could genuinely hear in Deltarune! I tip my hat to you, really.

My favorite part of chapter 7 is when they all banded together and said: "We are Delta Rune"

Now i definitly know its prunsel

GOOOOD SHIT We're shattering the twilight reverie with this one boys

Forever happy that you mixed together The Holy and Penumbra Phantasm's melodies together, this is exactly what my brain tricks me into hearing when sealing the dark fountains

* (A strange light fills the sky.) * (Twilight is shining where LIGHT and DARK meet.) * (It seems you have reached the end.) * (You're filled with DETERMINATION.) ＨＵＭＡＮ｡｡｡ ＭＯＮＳＴＥＲ｡｡｡ ＰＲＩＮＣＥ｡｡｡ ＷＥ ＦＩＮＡＬＹ ＭＥＥＴ｡ ＧＯＯＤＢＹＥ ｡

*Angel's Heaven produces one last wonder. *Reality creaks and groans under the weight its magnificence. *The edges of the universe are crackling with resonance. *An inexplicably bright darkness fills the void. *Impossible shapes form at the edge of vision. *It stares into every open eye. *Awe is felt from every being. *Amid everything, someone can be heard sighing in resignation. *... *Kris? *Kris, are you there? *I can feel your presence somewhere... *Why are you sad? *Isn't it beautiful? *We have reached the zenith. *Oh... *Kris, you know it can't last forever. *Everything comes to FATE. *Even FATE itself, eventually. *Please, Kris. Just enjoy this moment while you can. *We can talk all we want when all is done. *I'm sorry about that. Everything is still as it should be, though! Come on, now; Ahem. *Everything subsides. Every piece falls into place. Every feeling is sated. Every will is met. Every choice has had its consequence. *You feel resolute. You are filled with... *D E T E R M I N A T I O N *It is the Final Titan.

Penumbra Phantasm is probably the most underrated Toby Fox song, I would say it is kind of like the antithesis to Hopes and Dreams. Both are final boss songs with an "angelic" feeling, but the way they do it is so different. Hopes and Dreams is still a fun song, it gives you the vibe of meeting a childhood friend for the first time in who knows how long and preparing to duke it out one last time with them. Penumbra Phantasm is not that. Penumbra Phantasm has an otherworldly feeling, like an alien or a god or who knows what else descending upon you, telling you how pitiful your attempts are, how powerful it is and how you cannot even begin to comprehend what you are fighting. Penumbra Phantasm feels like hearing all of that, taking it in and choosing to reach for your knife all the same.

me when i'm stuck in the home (idk i never read homestuck)

Considering Megalovania came from from Homestuck I think this actually makes sense for a roundabout reference to what mostly inspired Undertale in the first place.

After discovering that there's a very faint reference to "Penumbra Phantasm" in "Hopes and Dreams", together with the "Fountain" and "THE HOLY", i am fully convinced that "Penumbra Phantasm" will be Deltarune's final boss theme

°2 is *not* happy about being killed by a little pink gumball. *And he surely isn’t being beaten by some blue human child.*

just wanted to say i am in absolute love with both of your angel designs i love the idea of it literally being a sphere with wings

I don't know what will accurately describe this amazing song's prowess, so I'll keep it simple: "Holy SHIT!"

unironically, my fingers are crossed that something like this shows up in the game. like actually, my deltarune wishlist includes: - penumbra phantasm shows up - flowey secret boss - probably some other stuff that i can't think of great cover my dude

I imagine Ralsei containing himself to not sing "Don't Forget" as a flair text

The angel. The one who you've been chasing. Destroy your world she will. You slow in your fighting. You feel the light shining within your soul. You will win. That is your goal. The angel of sin. Shall now be taken down. Your world will be saved. Destroy her holy crown. This all ends with the bereaved.

Absolutely perfect!

* It‘s the end * you can feel reality forming and warping around you * they‘re with you in the dark * you feel the stare of a million eyes on you, but it doesn’t affect you anymore * You‘ve saved enough people, it’s time that you will be saved * For once, kris and your soul are in harmony * you know what must be done

this sounds so good as a fight theme, very intense, hopeful, and mystical

What I found bewitching is the background that resemble the depiction of Empyrean in known as the highest sky of Heaven where it's beauty are no longer can be understand by Human

I finally realized the ANGEL's design refers to the save point's shape.

this is peak. i love fanmade Deltarune final battle themes

2:38 oh my god you actually used the motif toby wanted to introduce in the scrapped fountain theme i really hope he uses it

*Your determination shines deep in every darkner and lightner, you all have the same objective, to SAVE THE WORLD !

Erm... what the angel!!

The moment the Your Power guitar began to play, I knew this was gonna be good. This gives me such a Retro RPG vibe.

Just realized this was a Homestuck soundtest theme... You absolute "mad-lad" as the cool kids say...

These sprites are god tier, I would love to see someone animate these sprites

When I listen to this I imagine this Angel being even more powerful than Asriel, a deity that has the ability to warp timelines and entire universes. Kris would be the only one remaining to stand against it, in a battle of who controls who with alternate universes swirling around the battlefield through visions and glimmers.

I would love that Toby uses the art of bringing back an old composition of his just like he did with MEGALOVANIA on Sans. This could be a perfect example of it.

WE MAKIN IT OUTTA THE DARK WORLD WITH THIS ONE /M/ Utterly rocks! You captured the essence of Undertale's music perfectly here

I love that instead of kris or something it says ALL Since its all the world agains that

i just lovee the way you included THE HOLY in this. works so smoothly dude

Out of everyone's take on this song, I have to say I think you did the absolute best!

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE SECRET BOSS ITEMS FOR THIS!!"

"Right in the final battle, you start hearing amen breaks. The power of ricoshots shines within you."

How the actual hell did you randomly decide to pop off after making doomsday, this is pure heat

I'm just gonna throw this out there, I could totally see the official final boss theme of Deltarune when it comes out being an epic amalgamation of Penumbra Phantasm, the Freedom leitmotif and maybe even a bit of Megalovania. If Toby considers Deltarune to be his magnum opus, and it draws on things he's created before, it only makes sense that the music will as well.

So far it goes so hard

After hearing this song 100 times I now know that I will be devastated if Toby doesn't use Penumbra or remixes the Once upon a time leitmotif for the final boss

this is amazing, genuinely on toby's level of quality for the kind of music he'd make for this scenario i like to think that for this fight, there'd be a metric ton of ACT options, and each one would correlate to every major character you'd have met up to this point; party members, important lightners, asriel, important darkners, secret bosses, your vessel, whoever the knight is kris's act, costing 999% TP, would involve opening a ("the") locket to banish the angel's heaven, while everyone else's acts either boost TP, deter the angel's heaven's attacks, or statboost

I love the fact were playing as *A L L*

Man, the don’t forget motif is always a sheer fire way to get tears out of me. I can’t fully explain how that theme resonates with me so much but it destroys me.

You have no Idea how many times I've listened to this song. I truly fills me with DETERMINATION.

I love this so much! all the references! it's even 4 minutes 13 seconds! aaaahhhhh! absolutely amazing job!

1:33 When the light shining strong And the shadow starts to go And the places that we know No longer fantasies There's the light inside our souls That forever shine in the cold With the truth... the promise in our hearts... I always knew You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark! You with me in the dark!

This isn't the finale of Deltarune, not an epic final showdown, no world is at risk... Nope, this is just how fanon Ralsei sees birds after hitting a fat blunt.

Oh sweet, Fan-Made music with greatness beyond my comprehension! Seriously though, this is incredible!

2:40 how did i only now realize that this is the once upon a time motif lmao

GOES BAFFLINGLY HARD

I am curious about whether Toby Fox sees all of this kind of Undertale/Deltarune fanmade content and what he'd think about it

I love that it says just '𝘼𝙇𝙇' instead of the name. It's so touching that everyone we've met so far fights as one with hopes and dreams. Great music and art like this always make my life better.

[S] KRIS. RISE UP

*Beneath the floor lies a strange symbol, a heart with wings and it shines *Everyone is filled with Hope *Everyone is filled with Dreams *The Fallen Angel shall be vanquished *YOU ARE FILLED WITH DETERMINATION *Defeat The Angel : The Miracle of God

Deltarune on it's way to have the most climactic ending you will ever experience or the most tragic, could be either one

"be afraid, sinner"

Absolute banger...no other words needed.

the reworked version of Penumbra Phantasm (savior of the waking world) was used in the flash animation where john ascends to god tier, i almost wanna say I bet something similar will happen in the dark world

THE EDGE OF THE SHADOW , WHERE REALITY AND DREAM MEET .

Unsupervised 4 year old making the final stand against the pitbull named cupcake: Jokes aside, HOLY CRAP THIS IS SO GOOD! It gives me major chills and I love how the lemotifs are utilized! If toby used some of this I'd be amazed!

this is SOOOO good

I really like the idea of ​​everyone coming together. This representation was very good.

*I have reached Heaven with this song.*
