"If Exceed is so good where is Exceed 2?"
The one and only, Yukihiro Jindo:

[akdragunov]

Feels like a spiritual successor to Exceed and Severe Blow. Absolute banger. All the composer needed to do was throw in a reference to the Fateful Confrontation breakdown to make it complete

[LeMusicEnjoyer]

Outstanding track, absolutely love everything about it, the composition, arrangement, guitar, harpsichord, drums, synths, harmonies... Jindo never disappoints.

[Choops]

my favorite track in the game and one of my favorite songs of falcom period.

Came here after finishing the Daybreak demo. First time this song hit I just turned my headphones all the way up and set the controller down.

[LOREWITHBLAZER]

Van using himself has a human Shield

Grendel: I got you homie

[FrogofWarRS]

Jindo really knows how to go hard and it's so exhilarating to listen to!

[quinceymorris]

I find it kind of funny how a lot of the names for the battle themes in this game sound like something one of those random AI name generation sites would come up with. "Hard Desperation", "Scorching Impact", "Satisfied Madness", "Diabolical Howl", etc. It comes off as a bit formulaic. Anyway, I think this all goes without saying but this boss theme is absolutely fantastic, I actually think it might actually be one of my favorite boss themes in the whole series. Definitely a 10/10 from me.

[LOREWITHBLAZER]

Falcom once again casually making banger music like it’s nothing

[shinnbidan]

Good to see Jindo and Teramae(?) are still in top form. Surprised to hear this one so early in the game.

P.S. This one gives me some serious Exceed vibes.

He truly is something else man.

[marilagi]

One of my favourite boss themes in the series

[FuIIDiveVR]

I like the feel of the beginning hook more than Exceed but overall Exceed is much better composition with less repetition.

[CyberTwinDragon]

This is the theme of many uber-tier bosses that join the battles (like the Chapter 4 's Mecha), until it is replaced by Rise of the Grendel. It's good, is like imaginate the boss asks at a certain point: "wait, why am I hearing an other boss music, instead of MY music?"

[JRPGforlife]

Still prefer Exceed imo but damn this is a banger, Jindo never dissapoints 🔥🔥

[lolbruhmoment]

Painfully generic name for a based song.

Thank you Jindo for our yearly bangers

[PositronCannon]

Best track in the game.

edit: now playing through Daybreak and holy shit this track is like an oasis in the desert when it plays instead of mid Singa boss theme #9834649.

[NadiaRayne]

Cold Steel late game boss theme vibes from this!

[TitaRussellTrails]

Ok but why is the gargoyle breathing fire? It’s not even a demon like the cold steel ones it’s just a stone statue

[boyd]

i cant believe this theme was only used like 5 times in this game
