Echoes was my first Fire Emblem game, and I really didn't know what to expect from it. When I booted up the game for the first time, the opening cinematic played and I realized that this was something special. Echoes is by far my favorite game of all time, and the song sets the game's story up so well. Its a bitter sweet, melancholic tale about growing up, and this track conveys that perfectly. It's hard to listen to this without feeling something: sadness, joy, acceptance. This game is so underappreciated
It makes me mad that people didn't buy this game because this was really a return to roots FE but with the modern gameplay that people like, sadly now they've gone down a different road for FE, didn't even bother buying Engage.
@@solarcry287 Echos was my second Fire Emblem. I started with Awakening last summer and as soon as I finished it I started Echos. I have played all the Fire Emblem games I can on what systems I have. Shadow Dragon DS, Fates, Echos, Awakening, Three Houses, Engage even Warriors and Three Hopes. Fire Emblem is now my favorite series ever and I wish I decided to play it sooner. I love the new games like Three Houses but Echos is special. I think part of the reason is that is old but they remade it so well and it is just like the original. I have looked up the maps of the original and they are practically identical. Echos is my favorite out of all the ones I've played. I think it's almost time to play it again for the 5th time. I hope they remake more of the older game while still staying faithful to the original like they did with Echos
@@Daredesuka2234 I understand it pretty well, my first FE was awakening and I loved it so much that it turned into my favorite of the franchise and started playing the rest of games. FE is the reason why I chose what to study, so I would really like to introduce it to friends but because almost no one knows it they dont want to give it a shot. So maybe the reason you wrote that is the same as mine, tell how much you liked the games.
Ok Me I bought this game 3 years ago and am replaying it and goddamn is it a wonderful game. Don’t get me wrong, Three houses is an amazing game but there is a certain charm about Echoes that makes it my favorite game in the series. Maybe it is because I got burned out on Three Houses than I did Echoes because I played that game twice in less than a month. With praise coming from new and old fans when it comes to Echoes and Three Houses I am excited on what they do next.
@@xeno4204 I got this last year after finishing Awakening and even though I have played the DS, 3DS, and Switch game since then, Echos is still my favorite. I think it's time for my 5th playthrough soon
Man i was down to Celica and Alm in the last part and it was my first time doing this and i wanted to cry after i messed up cause I forgot to save about 3 chapters
I just finished the game. Holy fucking shit did I love the story; pretty much makes up for how awful Fates was 😂 The characters were awesome, especially Alm, who's probably my favorite character in the entire series now. Not to mention the voice acting was absolutely flawless--Ian Sinclair, the man who was Berkut, did the best voice acting in this game in my opinion. I can't wait for the new main series Fire Emblem game coming to the switch and I bet it'll be just as fantastic. With that being said, FE Echoes: Shadows of Valentia will always have a place in my heart. I'll have to do another playthrough soon
EspioMetroidNano THANK YOU. As another fan of Alm, I'm glad to hear that somebody agrees with me on him being the favorite. Most everybody I know just gushes over Celica (she drove me nuts). But you're absolutely right about the voice acting as well. It was incredible, and usually I'm impartial to the quality of voiceovers unless they're REALLY good or REALLY bad. But can we just take a moment to appreciate how well-thought out and well-written the entire cast is? I find it incredibly impressive that i have almost no problems with anybody in a cast this large. Except Celica, but that's because i hated her personality. It was still very well-done aside from that.
Celica sadly carries over her more archaic personality from Gaiden. Utterly pacifistic to a point where she throws away common sense, she was a good balance to the more bloodthirsty and sociopathic Alm who wanted to go and destroy people without a care in the world... in Gaiden. In Echoes, Alm got such a rework that on one hand made him a loveable hero who you want to see succeed... but on the other hand destroys that balance. It's no longer two extremes, violent bloodlust vs. chosen apathy, but someone who tries to justify that they are right for not wanting to fight against someone who can point out that NOT FIGHTING AGAINST TYRANNY CAUSES PEOPLE TO SUFFER, CELICA, GET WITH THE TIMES!
I definitely agree on Berkut. You can tell in the way his lines are delivered when and where his fragile mind completely shatters (IE after the Border battle).
@@kian26master oh believe me, I know it was popular. Got the special edition because I was so hyped. In retrospect, it was alright. The negatives really weighed it down though.
I owe fates and awakening because if they had not succeeded we would never have gotten this one but yeah I think this is easily the best 3ds fire emblem.
If anyone want to request a custom extension, remix for example, you can ask it here. I don't make in-game soundtracks extension like BGM or OST, since BrawlBrstms3, Crunchii, Vector Harbor, MasterEnex (for Fire Emblem soundtracks especially), etc. are doing these already. This one is an exception, because this music doesn't automatically loop itself in-game. Also, I know MasterEnex did this one as well, but I made a small adjustment of my own compared from his version, so it isn't exactly the same.
Lyrics: 0:00-0:30 (Too lazy to properly write this) Vete already one and swung the teeth already won seit And we already won and sang the miracles to par Te des sorrow because of our raged war Te des solo because of the people Teach me. Teach me all they've done so glory will never stop (loops to the beggining)
"this is it. It's time to face our greatest threat, our greatest fiend. The one who we were calling a caring mother, and a teaching father. The one who created us, it was obvious from the beginning that our creator was our enemy. So we started pleading to heavens , to ground, to any of water reservoirs, to any of plants growing. Neither the vastness of heaven, toughness of the ground, calmness of waters, liveliness of plants answered our plea. But one answer had derived from someone who rised mountains, dug rivers and caves. Sprinkled minerals over the earth and scattered stars across the sky. Who breathed out clouds, who light up sun for a day, and polished moon for night. The landforger, in this time of our need, grant us power. Grant us hope to rise , to stand against our father, against our mother. You weren't our father, as you were not our mother, but you took us in. Our innermost gratefulness, our sincere gratitude is to defeat OUR CREATOR! SO GIVE US STRENGTH TO TAKE LIFEFORGER DOWN!
Shadows of Valentia really got done dirty in Smash Ultimate's music selection, I didn't even know this game existed until I played FE Heroes. Now I've played it it's a hidden gem, miles better than Fates.
It has nothing to do with the Final Map of the game, I only stated that it ressembles the Final Map music of the original Fire Emblem Gaiden and of the current game. No story spoilers or anything related.
If you don't want spoilers for a game, you're an idiot if you watch any UA-cam video related to it. If the video itself doesn't spoil you, the recommended videos certainly will, not to mention the comments section.
imagine if they played this for the battle preperation in teh final map and then transitioned into teh normal final map theme
I just nutted thinking about it
Oh god yes
You are a genius and now I want that to happen
a man can dream a man can dream
I can not tell you how badly I want this.

Fire emblem is underrated
We need another Echoes game.
These osts all just hit. Omen, Echoes, Twilight of the Gods.
Ohhhh myyyy gawd😍😍😍😍
This is such an amazing theme.
Agree
Indeed
2 years ago I got this game and damn is it still good

@@rayking5399 Nice man. And I like echoes more then 3 houses.
i got this game 2 weeks ago, just finished it. Truly is amazing
@@Senayoshy The best man.

what a beautiful marriage of "What Lies at the End" and "Twilight of the Gods".
you'd almost think they were one song.
I really like this extended version. The loop you made make it really sound as if this song was meant to play without stop. Good job!
The best game ever ❤️ ⚔️

King K Rool Fan that game is good bro. I really love the voice acting. They git to keep the voice acting for future games
Echoes is amazing, never let the haters sway you otherwise
Let me say this. I have not even finish this game yet and it's already better than Fates.
That is not much of an achievement.
it only takes about an hour to beat fates lol
@@twilit8162 I get it. Fates was popular tho

LooperFeel would it be possible for you to loop the "holy war" section in the Astral Temple DLC map? It sounds really cool
Is it this one?
ua-cam.com/video/Baw0gemww4A/v-deo.html
If it is, MasterEnex already did it.
LooperFeel it is from that song but it is the second half of it. Specifically the Holy War part from New Mystery of the Emblem
Ok, got it.
I'll do that sometime later tomorrow.
LooperFeel thanks so much!

i kinda wish this started playing in the final map after you challenged duma
at last finalLY I VE FOUND A 10 MIN MIX THANK YOU YOU ARE A LIFESAVER
BEST OST IN THIS GAME, FIGHT MEH
Sah quel plaisir !
Echoesの音楽で一番好き
Now at *twice the speed*
This and Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire make the 3DS library as good as it is.

If I X play this at my funeral....
Am I the only one hearing "Praise be thy lord" at 1:02?
No, I heard it too.
A perfect theme indeed!
Better than Twilight of the Gods tbh. Better percussion.
It’s just a slower version of Twilight of the Gods
Shivam Patel Twilight of the gods is sped up this. This one came first
Rintaro This song never existed in Gaiden, so Twilight of the Gods came first.
What is the name of this theme in the sound test?
I have actually no idea.
It's not in the Sound Test, unfortunately.
It's called "Omen". It's what the fandom says and it's what everyone else says, I guess you could just call it The Opening.
Playing this to doing certain actions, like what you need to do on the toilet, or cutting someone's or your beard, makes it seem so dramatic! XD
This song better be in smash ultimate
rPizza Spaghetti it’s not I’m sad about that 😏😔
Shadows of Valentia really got done dirty in Smash Ultimate's music selection, I didn't even know this game existed until I played FE Heroes. Now I've played it it's a hidden gem, miles better than Fates.
9:14
We could have got another Echoes game instead we got Engage which should just be called Heroes Deluxe...
Start sounded like Nier lol
Why would you mention the final map theme in the description? I feel somewhat spoiled now...
It has nothing to do with the Final Map of the game, I only stated that it ressembles the Final Map music of the original Fire Emblem Gaiden and of the current game.
