"If only I could have live to see...Hoshido achieve...true peace..." Composer(s): Hiroki Morishita, Takeru Kanazaki, Yasuhisa Baba, Rei Kondoh, Masato Kouda
Ryoma: ENOUGH TALK!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!! FOR SAKURA!!! FOR TAKUMI!!! FOR HINOKA!!! TODAY, RIGHT NOW, I WILL STAIN THIS ROOM WITH YOUR BLOOD!!! Narrator: Ryoma will patiently wait 25 turns to exact his revenge.
Dry those eyes, little princess. Do you know what my favorite memory is? Sharing a laugh with you, Elise, Camilla, and Leo around the dinner table. I think Leo had his boots on the wrong feet that day... In my heart I have so many memories of us siblings laughing together... Those were the happiest days of my life .
1) Side with Hosido --> Xander goes berserk at you 2) Side with Nohr --> Ryoma goes berserk at you 3) Refuse to choose a side --> See both Xander and Ryoma goes berserk at each other
does this song even plays when corrin choses to join the smash or none of the two 2 and refuse to join the smash ? i wonder what reaction will have the smash fighters to corrin refusing to join the starting with Incineroar blaming both xander and ryoma.
Every note in this song is spaced out so perfectly, and it reminds me almost of footsteps. As if all of Corrin's choices led up to one climax, this battle.
In my mind this plays when Xander is fighting Corrin and he knows that only one of them is going to live. This song captures the determination and the regret both perfectly.
Be thankful that the Conquest map designers, in their mercy(?), decided NOT to give Ryoma Vantage Pray that he does not destroy you with a Rend Heaven critical
@@xertiio Well that's also fairly specific. That means you gotta have a fast class, stop in Wyvern lord, and get 30 speed. Not impossible, but you gotta know you are doing it ahead of time.
@@TheEeveeKing not really? You can get +4 in any stat from meal/tonic, up to 8 with status and you can rally corrin at the door so its not super difficult. Also preparing ahead of time is just conquest tbf
The sad thing is when you have to kill Ryoma, you have to kill Saizo (or if you spare him, he will die by Garon behind the scene). But the sad thing that I make Kaze vs Saizo, but in their last battle there wasnt a special dialogue... So sad
I love this song. It was actually part of the whole reason I got into Fire Emblem. It made the choice of Birthright or Conquest so hard, I had to see the rest of the game. Best moment in the series in my opinion. Because of it, I had over 400 hours with the series in under a year. I've played everything from fates, Awakening, Echoes, to games like Sacred stones and FE7. This song will always hold a special place in my heart.
@@lucario5717 it gets hate also because of its art-style and characters' personalities (like Awakening), and for the overall anime tone that its older predecessors didn't have, or at least not so strongly. Also because of the datesim mechanics which are rather cringeworthy.
@Hollow hey I dig the artstyle both in Awakening and Fates, even if I prefer Awakenings's character design. I'm just saying older fans gave it flack for being so different from its predecessors. I like both games a lot.
@@geraq0 for me its the story tries too hard to make your choices matter, it really fails in that regard, most of the characters have one or two character traits and thats it. Conquest is fun af tho.
@@liamgw9208 Well, considering this is the Roar version, which plays in battles, Alight's Storm version plays in battles, and [ID] Hope is an actual boss theme, they kinda are.
@Sao Miguel Simmons 'cause the other FE games had good stories (like Thracia 776, Echoes SoV), there is one FE game where the story is too good, it's genealogy of the holy war it's the most depressing and saddest FE game, and i recommend it to play it, so comparing the stories from other games and the mess that fates did, well... There are more reasons like a lot of censorship from the japanese version, some bad translation, and more, (if you ask i dont hate fates, i love it so much).
when I played conquest and seeing both scenes where Lilith sacrifices her self to save the avatar and when ryoma kills himself it got me to cry my eyes out and I normally don't get emotional when I play any videogames
Saizo: So, Brother. It’s finally come to this. My own flesh and blood, marching on Castle Shirasagi at the side of our mortal enemies…I can’t say I ever would have expected this to happen in a million years. Kaze: Neither can I, Saizo. I am deeply sorry for any pain I may have caused you. Even so, I cannot abandon Lady Corrin. I beg of you, please surrender. If you lay down your shuriken now, I promise neither you nor your soldiers will suffer any harm. Saizo: Oh, please. You expect me to believe a bunch of honeyed lies from a Nohrian lapdog? Even if your words are true, I would gladly accept death over surrendering my kingdom to a horde of barbaric savages that only wish to plunder our bounties. Lord Takumi and Lady Hinoka are dead. Lady Sakura is in chains. Your allies are killing our civilians for sport. How can you stand there and expect me to bend the knee to the very same country that is responsible for these crimes? Kaze: Saizo, please listen-- Saizo: I’m not finished. Princess Corrin may be a woman of mercy, but the same cannot be said for that ash-faced tyrant she calls a father. Who do you think will take the throne once Lord Ryoma is out of the picture? Can you honestly imagine that King Garon will treat the innocent people of Hoshido with any modicum of human dignity? Kaze: ,.. Saizo: No, you can’t. You have your answer, Kaze. We will not surrender. No matter how grim things seem, I believe in Hoshido! I believe in Lord Ryoma! Now, traitor, draw your blade and show me the depth of your beliefs! Show me the power that will supposedly lead us all to peace! Kaze: If you will not lay down your arms, then neither will I. If my love can no longer reach you, then the least I can do is give you an honourable final duel befitting of Hoshido’s greatest ninja!

God this song both hypes me up and makes me want to cry. Will never forget the heart palpitations I got while playing Conquest for the first time, particularly during the latter half of the game. So many intense battles and close calls (and resets thanks to Counter). Even still, I can't wait to play the game again on Lunatic someday, just haven't gotten around to it.
Man, I remember exactly what I felt when I first heard this song in Birthright. A raw, furious cry at what Xander had done, even if it was an accident. It was this hateful scream of "XANDEEEEEEER!"
Just browsing the store... yeah, but which hit harder? Berkut’s descent into insanity leading to him sacrificing the love of his life Rhea to Duma for power, or Xander being a stubborn idiot leading to the death of his younger sister at his own hands and then himself to Corrin’s?
@@reaperofthings xander killing elise was an accident. But then he could not live with the guilt of killing his sister, and decided to get himself killed.
I really hate how everyone hates this game. It's like a meme at this point. If you like it, or say that it's your favorite, prepare to die! And the sad part is that if you like fates you're either viewed as casual player or people think its the only fe game you ever played. I'm not going to say that it was perfect, because lets face it, no fe games are, but honestly it was pretty great.
Fates - casual player. Yeah tell that to all the people who played conquest lunatic. I do agree though, fates is a good game, in general and as a fire emblem game. It has a lot of weaknesses plot-wise (not going to blame anyone who likes the story, I do, just not after the 10th time playing it) but if it isn't one of the best games gameplay-wise, I don't know what is.
I enjoyed conquest a lot. I mean honestly the story wasn’t the greatest but part of that is having to make it work with 3 routes. I thought the gameplay was really good, fixed at least some of the combat issues from awakening and had some pretty cool maps. I thought it was a good challenge on lunatic too which was fun
@@austinwirtz2434 Birthright lunatic isn't a challenge, I flew past that within a week or two. I will say though, building the team in BR was a little fun, but why do that when you have a literal God who could destroy the whole map? Rev was alright, it was better than Birthright. Conquest, now we're talking, I am playing it right now actually.
Ok but does anyone hear To Zanarkand from FFX in this??? Because I swear after the little intro, the Zanarkand melody fits PERFECTLY on top of it. They would be a perfect mash up.
"Corrin! Are you r-really gonna fight me right now? What did I ever do to you? All I wanted was to l-love you!" "Sakura, I'm so sorry for all this. You didn't do anything wrong, I promise. It's difficult to explain, but I just need you to...um, take a little nap right now." "Brother, no..."
I will always have a deep feeling about this song and theses maps. It's like we can feel everyone feeling though it. The game may be outdated but the OST was perfect back then
Birthright Chapter 26: Xander: "Fight without fear or hesitation. Don't hold back - I promise you that I won't." Corrin: "I won't. I know I've never bested you before, but that changes now!" Xander: "That's the spirit. Come at me!" (Crit sound~) Xander: "I knew you could do it. I'm proud of you, Corrin. I always told you...you could do anything...you set your mind to..." Corrin: "Brother!!" Xander: "Your technique was flawless... You finally stopped holding yourself back. It's what I've always tried to teach you. You're becoming the leader I always knew you could be..." Corrin: "Xander..." Conquest Chapter 25: Ryoma: It's time, Corrin. Show me the power you used to slay our sister! Or does the Yato repel at your touch now that your heart and soul are dead? Corrin: Ryoma, stop this. I don't want to fight you! I can explain all of this, even Hinoka. Please, listen to me! Ryoma: Ha! As though I would allow you to distract me with false remorse. How dare you pretend to be my sister after killing Hinoka! You are nothing to me. Just a filthy coward like the rest of your kingdom. I have said all I wish to say to you. Nothing you can do will sway me. You are no sister of mine, Nohrian princess! Watch as my blade takes back whatever Hoshidan blood remains in you! Corrin: Ryoma! No!!
Ryoma was pretty hard. But its sad to see Xander doesn't have any good skill. He is no worthy rival,maybe for the death of [R e d a c t e d],or maybe just for difficult of Birthright
I wonder how Fates would've been if the translators actually did their job well and also stole a little bit of Three Houses writing (not that 3H has GODLIKE writing, it's more that they make the split paths thing way better theme wise)
Say what you want about this game’s story and how trash the characters in said story are (*Cough* Xander,), But this song and the rest of the OST is powerful.
@@GenshinLover283 Both routes. He's a poorly written character in the story and absolutely contradicts what he fight for in support conversations, they're like two different characters.
@@bravecereza Fates has a huge problem of story =/= support convos in general. So many characters are so different between the two. And whereas in Awakening, it was acknowledged when support had an effect on the story, such as Lucina refusing to kill her own husband or mother, Xander will straight up threaten to kill Corrin if she is wrong or lying about Garon even if they have a fucking kid together. It's little details like this that make Fates and its support system just seem less polished than its predecessor. Thankfully much of this was fixed in 3H, mostly by removing intra-story S-Supports and making support convos less impactful or potentially influential on the plot in general without sacrificing what makes them special, and when support convos do have an impact on the plot, it's done well, such as with Edelgard supports unlocking CF. It's indicative of laziness in general that is a big problem with Fates writing. I'm just glad we can say retrospectively in 2020 that the series improved on its failures in Fates exponentially, I was worried for years that the next FE would be just as brain-dead. And to be clear, I don't HATE Fates. I love a lot of its character-writing, for example. I just think its plot-writing leaves a lot to be desired. Damn, that kind of became a whole-ass Ted Talk. Woops
I'm gonna say it- Fate's story wasn't even that bad. Of course each of the paths was going to be short and simple- they had literally 3 campaigns to fit into the space of 1 game. FE: 3 houses did the exact same thing, yet it is never as heavily critiqued as Fates. The character's are a bit 1-dimensional... but there are literally over 71 useable characters in the game. Fates is clearly the FE game whose focus is less on the story/characters but more so on the gameplay and tactical challenge. The difficulty, design, ambience, music, player-freedom was all flawless. I have never played a FE game in the franchise that has been as fun and entertaining as Fates.
The stories are all over the place and conquest butchers Xanders character. They never went into detail about the concubine wars which is integral to camillas character. Hoshino was completely in the right, there was no real morally gray thing
Everybody gangsta until Ryoma says 'You deserve worse!'
I am from the future there is a better crit quote in the next new FE game
I AM FERDINAND VON AIERE
SleepyWolf ya
Ryoma: ENOUGH TALK!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!! FOR SAKURA!!! FOR TAKUMI!!! FOR HINOKA!!! TODAY, RIGHT NOW, I WILL STAIN THIS ROOM WITH YOUR BLOOD!!!
Narrator: Ryoma will patiently wait 25 turns to exact his revenge.
So true!
Good since it would be a nightmare if he didn't.
Or 20 turns, Lunatic gang rise up.
God, full clearing that map was hell...
I mean, it WAS his brother he was going to kill off, give him some time to muster the courage
Wtf was this game bro😂

...I hate this comment aaaaa
I didn’t need my heart anyway. I’m fine 😭
Nice fanfiction.
@@EikeKusch776 actually it’s a quote from the game!
No matter which path you choose, this song is sad.
1) Side with Hosido --> Xander goes berserk at you
2) Side with Nohr --> Ryoma goes berserk at you
3) Refuse to choose a side --> See both Xander and Ryoma goes berserk at each other
I think that it's upbeat, as it is the "Kick Hans' and Iago's asses" theme.
agreed
THIS IS A GOOD SONG!

Underrated comment for such a good take on the story the song tells
@@PowerBottomText I agree
In my mind this plays when Xander is fighting Corrin and he knows that only one of them is going to live. This song captures the determination and the regret both perfectly.
The sad part about that battle is how outclassed Xander is by that point. Especially if you have your dragon form which counts as a magical attack.
@andrewholka1497 after the battle, corrin assumes that the battle was so easy because xander lets him win, which he admits to moments before dying.
"My blade will take back whatever Hoshidan blood remains in you"
Which turns out is actually NONE😭

Creeping back into this ost years after playing it... Can't believe how much I took this excellent ost for granted. So much nostalgia...
yeah this ost was pretty good. Noticed it during the prologue mission, cause it was pretty well executed.
The sad thing is when you have to kill Ryoma, you have to kill Saizo (or if you spare him, he will die by Garon behind the scene).
But the sad thing that I make Kaze vs Saizo, but in their last battle there wasnt a special dialogue...

Super underrated track
My fave ost
Birthright Chapter 26:
Xander: "Fight without fear or hesitation. Don't hold back - I promise you that I won't."
Corrin: "I won't. I know I've never bested you before, but that changes now!"
Xander: "That's the spirit. Come at me!"
(Crit sound~)
Xander: "I knew you could do it. I'm proud of you, Corrin. I always told you...you could do anything...you set your mind to..."
Corrin: "Brother!!"
Xander: "Your technique was flawless... You finally stopped holding yourself back. It's what I've always tried to teach you. You're becoming the leader I always knew you could be..."
Corrin: "Xander..."
Conquest Chapter 25:
Ryoma: It's time, Corrin. Show me the power you used to slay our sister! Or does the Yato repel at your touch now that your heart and soul are dead?
Corrin: Ryoma, stop this. I don't want to fight you! I can explain all of this, even Hinoka. Please, listen to me!
Ryoma: Ha! As though I would allow you to distract me with false remorse. How dare you pretend to be my sister after killing Hinoka! You are nothing to me. Just a filthy coward like the rest of your kingdom. I have said all I wish to say to you. Nothing you can do will sway me. You are no sister of mine, Nohrian princess! Watch as my blade takes back whatever Hoshidan blood remains in you!
Corrin: Ryoma! No!!
FE: Fates has some really good music
Aw man this song goes so hard. Too bad Fates has a bad rep for its story because the soundtrack is immaculate.
too bad that this was not used in Three Houses or a remastered version of it, cause it could fit in that Fire Emblem
Ryoma was pretty hard.
But its sad to see Xander doesn't have any good skill.
He is no worthy rival,maybe for the death of [R e d a c t e d],or maybe just for difficult of Birthright
Or maybe because he wanted to die after what happened, so he was holding back.
1:40 - 3:00 is the best part
I wonder how Fates would've been if the translators actually did their job well and also stole a little bit of Three Houses writing (not that 3H has GODLIKE writing, it's more that they make the split paths thing way better theme wise)

I'm just glad we can say retrospectively in 2020 that the series improved on its failures in Fates exponentially, I was worried for years that the next FE would be just as brain-dead. And to be clear, I don't HATE Fates. I love a lot of its character-writing, for example. I just think its plot-writing leaves a lot to be desired.
Damn, that kind of became a whole-ass Ted Talk. Woops
@@ecparentheses3708 I completely agree and I thank you for putting it into words.
Fates is best enjoyed mashing Start on cutscenes.
Such a great premise for a story, but that made it have such a huge missed potential
I'm gonna say it- Fate's story wasn't even that bad.
Of course each of the paths was going to be short and simple- they had literally 3 campaigns to fit into the space of 1 game. FE: 3 houses did the exact same thing, yet it is never as heavily critiqued as Fates.
The character's are a bit 1-dimensional... but there are literally over 71 useable characters in the game. Fates is clearly the FE game whose focus is less on the story/characters but more so on the gameplay and tactical challenge.
The difficulty, design, ambience, music, player-freedom was all flawless. I have never played a FE game in the franchise that has been as fun and entertaining as Fates.
The stories are all over the place and conquest butchers Xanders character. They never went into detail about the concubine wars which is integral to camillas character.
Hoshino was completely in the right, there was no real morally gray thing
Damn you ryoma

Is this conquest music?
It plays for all 3 routes in Fates
@@alphmain2278 in revelations it just plays in the branching chapter.
The track fits the themes of the narrative so well, but the plot itself fails to meet the quality of both. So tragic.
