MIGHTY OBSTACLE" is a song created as a demo movie for "Ys VI Napishthem's Box" developed and produced by Nihon Falcom for Windows PC, PS2, and PSP.

The "100 Best Video Game Music" wiki lists the song as follows: "The song is played during the battle against the middle boss.

The song is played during the battle against the mid-boss. MIGHTY OBSTACLE" means "a mighty obstacle (i.e., boss enemy)" in English. The extraordinary excitement and coolness of the chorus section are especially popular, and the music is highly acclaimed among the music of "Ys VI". However, in this game, the level of the adornment and weaponry is greatly influenced by the strength of the player, so if the level is too high, the player may defeat the boss before entering the important chorus part, or conversely, if the level is not high enough, the player may not be able to defeat the boss at all and may have to fight endlessly to hear this song. (Especially in the battle against Augean.)

This song was also used in the demo movie of "Ys VI. Since this was the first new "Ys" game in eight years and many members of the sound staff had been replaced, there were some concerns about the music, but thanks to this song in the demo movie, those concerns were dispelled and the Ys sound was successfully shown to the fans to be alive and well. The song was a great success in showing fans that the Ys sound is still alive and well.
