The finale of the adventure, but not before a tragedy. An enraged Lilac faces off Brevon alone. It's only him & her - The fate of the Kingdom Stone is in their hands.

The playthrough of the "Sonic Soundtrax Edition" of Freedom Planet comes to an end. It's been a hell of a ride making this playthrough. From the constant resetting & re-recording of stages after every death, to having deal with a hardrive crash. From constantly re-publish the same video after noticing the smallest of faults, to having to learn how to access a scrapped stage deep within the betas of this game.

I managed to learn a few new tricks with After Effects as a result - & of course, the drive to finishing this project eventually pushed me towards buying my first ever tablet. It's quite the journey! This video itself had been published 5 times now, the first 4 times I've noticed minute errors that had to be fixed. I hope to god I have everything here fixed!

I went above & beyond by extending the credits to list all the Sonic Themes feature (in order of first time heard). I even included the extra stats & score from the other character stages to make a new final score for the end. Before the fight with Brevon, the room starts with a Lilac enters is red & has a particular sci-fi "hum" going on, unfortunately that was disabled when the music was set to mute - To get around that, I decided to throw in a sound clip of the Sonic OVA intro (where Metal Sonic was charging up in Eggman's lair), a cool little easter egg of sorts!

I know this playthrough won't have as much traction compared to my Sonic mashups, but I'm just glad there are even a few people who watched & even liked this special series.
Thank you all for the motivation I needed to get this done!

Music Choices Explained:

- Panic Puppet (Act 1) -
There's a tragic undertone to this theme. Originally picked because I thought the build up sounded great in the context of the intro monologue (Part 1). However, the meloncholy is a great forshadowing for the next boss theme.
- Last Judgement -
Before Forces was released, I originally went with Death Egg Robot from Generations. That quickly got replaced as soon as I heard Last Judgement. It's such a tragic theme that it just works for the fight with a mutated Milla (& the Ancient Dragon projection in Pagu Lagoon).
- Quartz Quadrant (Bad Future) -
I always found this theme to be unsettling in CD. The static bit samples & the eerie ambiance is perfect for Final Dreadnought 4.
- Big Arm -
My favourite final boss theme of all Sonic games, & an awesome remix in Generations. I don't have much of a reason really other than that!
- Infinite -
If you know me by now, this wouldn't be all that surprising! It's a powerful song with lyrical ambiguity when played during this fight. It's obviously a villain's song, but as the fight progressed, this song transitions from the villianous Brevon theme to a rage-filled Lilac theme. That or it can go back & forth between characters. Well at least, those are my interpretations. What about you guys?
- Cosmic Eternity (Instrumental) -
This scene with the Kingdom Stone is pretty parallel to the good ending of Sonic CD. It's a great uplifting track with a beautiful buildup, which feels natural during this scene & the Magister's monologue.
- Sonic Boom -
While the title version of the Freedom Planet theme samples Live & Learn, I thought it would be best to treat the full theme as a seperate piece. Live & Learn wouldn't fit during this credit sequence (it would sound too jarring after the events prior), so instead I went for a more softer (& fitting) theme in the case of Sonic Boom - Ending. I extended the piece with the instrumental version as to fit with the new & extended credits sequence.
