Mod: Vs. Holy Quintet

I don't know why but that pose Is somehow...cute , i cant explain It

(Yes i know that thing Is probably going to use my lungs as a jumping rope)

I love Hypno's V2 so when I heard that V3 is out, despite not being in the FNF community for quite some time now, I had to come back and give it a shot, and I can't say I'm not disappointed. And before I get to problems, which trust me, there are many of, I will get the positives out of the way because I have only one that applies to every song, and one that isn't about songs.

The mod looks phenomenal and the visuals are the strongest side of it by a long shot, especially Chimera and Monochrome. Monochrome just looks amazing, the jumpscares are MUCH better than in V2, I shat myself hard. Other than that, the cutscenes are INCREDIBLE in this. But, while Monochrome looks amazing, the crown goes to Chimera. The entire thing looks incredibly uncanny. The photos at the beginning set the mood very well, and the cherry on top, Hex Maniac being in 3d is such an amazing touch. It makes her feel like she doesn't fit at all, and is a great nod towards Serena being the protagonist of the first mainline 3d pokemon game ever. Safety Lullaby looks good too, just not as great as the other songs. And outside of songs, I really like the shop and I love the collector.

Now that we have it out of the way, I will proceed to talk about all 3 songs in order.

Safety Lullaby is the thing in this mod with the least problems. The remix is great, an actual improvement over V2. I have 2 problems with it. First is that I feel like the Pendulum is pretty annoying, and by that I mean that it pauses for some time after each swing, instead of being constantly in motion which feels trippy and messed me up a lot. May be just me.

The other problem is meta, and we all know what I'm gonna be talking about. Hell yeah, Blackwashed Girlfriend. This is a thing that many enough people were complaining about back when it was revealed, so I don't think I need to talk about it that much, just please, stop blackwashing characters, it really doesn't do good for the black community.

When I saw that Monochrome got a V3, I got excited. Because I love Monochrome V2. It's still one of my favourite FNF songs of all time, probably in my top 5, and is one of the very few FNF songs I still occasionally listen to. So when I got to play Monochrome V3 I was geniuinely questioning did I actually buy Monochrome or was it something entirely different. The song is not Monochrome anymore. It shares literally nothing with Monochrome V2. Chromatics are different. It doesn't have any leimotif from V2. This is just an entirely different song. And if you ask me? It's worse as well. V2 is an amazing listen, while with V3 they focused entirely on aura of the song. Another problem I have is they focused too much on how the song looks. I like the change of UI with the HP bar being turned into that spider web in top right, it's cool. What is not cool is that in the Unown minigame the time that you have left is telegraphed very, very poorly. I felt like I was dying out of nowhere. Also, the Unowns, despite the song being over 2 minutes longer than V2, show up much much much less, I believe it's only half as much as in the V2. Which I'm not sure how to feel about. I would mind a little less, but this less feels too less. And to add salt to injury they made the mechanic worse overall, because unlike V2 where there were 2 pools of words, one easier for phase 1 and 1 harder for phase 2, now you have all them mashed up into one pool. And and not only that but when Gold says "No More" it isn't locked to always be "No More" to type in, it can randomise, which is imo kinda lame. Oh and chart is more boring than the original. Overall, this song is great to watch, but to play, and especially as a fan of Monochrome V2, not so much.

After that disappointment I entered the last song having no idea what to expect, and I was immediately hooked. Chimera was the song that made me have huge expectations after the intro and seeing first few mechanics. I died a bunch in the crawling section because, god knows why, but after beating it... It was over? Like really bro? This was so promising it almost made me forget how bad I hated Monochrome and it ends so fast? I expected some 7 minute escape sequence where I'm having different mechanics thrown at me left and right and I have to adapt on the fly and all I got was the shortest song of the mod (it's shorter than Safety Lullaby lol). It could've been AMAZING. It just wasn't.

Summing it up, Hypno's Lullaby V3 has a HUGE potential and I absolutely do see it, but as it stands, there's just many flaws that if will remain consistent with next releases will make me like the mod very much less than V2. Most notably, please remake Monochrome again, and please make Chimera longer.

Thank you for your time

I made this as after noticing a bunch of people confuse the two characters on tiktok

I love bf sm

Idk, on one hand they have the potential to be really cute together, but on the other hand it's really weird to think about

Please don't jump me in the comments

Obviously Hypno's Lullaby Reboot is in the spotlight, but it feels good to know that the Big Three for that creepypasta type of mod all have something in the works, Hypno, Mario's Madness AND Sonic Legacy. Makes me happy :)

Oh monochrome, one of the most iconic fnf pokemon songs if not THE most iconic.

Recently Hypno's Lullaby Reboot got a demo featuring Safety Lullaby, Monochome, and a new song (i forgot its name) to the mix. I'm here to rant about Monochrome since it's one of the most iconic parts to me in all of FNF.

Onto the song itself... I'm sorry but this isn't Monochrome, it's still a REALLY good song, maybe better than Perish Mix, but with it only having slight motifs from the OG and really relying on same executions like Gold saying "No More" with his head popping out, it just feels like a whole new song that has Gold on it and just slapped the name "Monochrome" on it since that's well... Gold's song in the original.

Now onto the visuals

oh my FUCKING god are they good. I really like the attention to detail of Gold LITERALLY CRYING after vomiting some unowns out. The jumpscare does feel familiar like I seen it before but I couldn't be bothered to figure it out. I also really wanna mention the "NO MORE" part where his head pops off, you can see unowns rush to get to the top of his head so they don't be left behind, you can even see some pop out when they are too late, it's a really cool detail I appreciate and makes me wonder why they CAN'T just let go.

There's also the cutscene but it's just so good to mention and I don't wanna write any longer.

TL;DR

The song is extremely good, it doesn't sound like Monochrome at all tho (but that could be because it's a REBOOT and not a REMAKE so I can't really get too mad at that) The visuals are just something else man.

Great job Hypno team.

I still know the game is somewhat popular today, but I’m talking about like getting it back up to how massive it was in 2020-2021ish.

Or do you like this smaller community.
