    The voice actor for one of the characters actually did a cover of this with another UA-camr. He didn’t even know he could sing it until he did it. FEAR THE DEER!

    God-Shattering Star deserves the intense name it has. Such a uniquely powerful and forceful track, yet having enough calmer moments to keep the listener interested and wanting more. Not to mention the awesome fight that it plays over! Great track.

    When you said you thought it could be punchier I immediately thought of the thunder versions of the songs in this game. It’s basically the same song but with different instruments and with the composition often holding more of a focus on representing the chaos of battle. One of the cool things about fire emblem games is that when you transition from moving your units like a chess board to watching them fight/interact, the music shifts from the regular composition (like the one in the video) to a more violent and uncertain one seamlessly, then returns to the original when you’re back to moving your pieces.

    • @fen6300
      @fen6300 Рік тому +9

      that's only the case in 3H (the uncertainty). Awakening, Fates, Engage are more epic, but not as violent and uncertain as 3H thunder versions. And you just have a normal battle theme in SoV, pre-Awakening

    Fire Emblem's stories are very operatic, including a lot of the traditional plot points of a tragedy, depending on the game. As a result, a lot of the music is very bombastic and consuming when the moment of the climax approaches.

  • @HollowGolem

    For my money the best piano work in this game is "Funeral of Flowers (Thunder)" which carries the bittersweet nature of that encounter over so well.

  • @thoughtotherwise
    @thoughtotherwise Рік тому +45

    Good articulation of what is happening. The mixing is pretty interesting and different than a lot of what you've been listening to on this channel. Also, you're spot on with the comment concerning the singer being more musical theatre than opera (even though the performance does go for an 'operatic' color). I enjoyed this reaction a lot.
    Together with the other commenter, here, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Shambala.

    My favourite song from the game, just because it's SO DIFFERENT and really punches you in the face for how different it is, is Shambala

  • @Xucalfer
    @Xucalfer Рік тому +17

    Yeah this is the Verdant Wind Final Boss stage theme. You only get this if you choose to teach the Golden Deer House as Byleth in the beginning of the game. There are some music for this game I recommend is Fodlan Winds, Apex of the World, Edge of Dawn, you know what just listen to everything if you can! xD

    This is definitely one of those soundtracks where I would recommend just listening to the entire thing. It's really quite brilliant. Definitely one of the best soundtracks in recent years.
    I dunno if you looked at Octopath Traveler's soundtrack but that one is also stellar.

    I'm so happy you decided to give this a listen, I'm a big fan of three houses (actually recommended this track on your other video lol) and it's especially in times like these that I wish Nintendo made it's music available on Spotify. Though I will admit, my favorite version of this song is the 9 minute version that is 2 versions put together iirc. I'm really excited to see what you'll listen to next! :)

  • @rhettmitchell
    @rhettmitchell Рік тому +7

    This is my favorite thing from Fire Emblem.
    I'd also love to get a reaction to The Stars High in the Sky (The Order Grande BGM)
    That's another song that has a lot of intensity to it, and a lot of tension. Some really cool stuff on piano... kinda wish there was a cleaner mix version of it though. Not a fan of the reprise they did for the newer version of the fight.

    If anyone wants to try an unexpectedly insanely good videogame OST find Neotokyo OST by Ed Harrison. It wasn't even a videogame strictly speaking but a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2 (I guess) but the music quality is at the level of the very best OSTs.
    After that OST Ed Harrison worked on some "serious" OSTs like the one for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided but Neotokyo OST really surprises.

    Interesting he noticed immediately it seemed distant compared to the other tracks. Since the game has different routes, each one has its own flavor, and GSS shows up in the route where you step away from the internal house conflict in favor of lore and a clash between two ancient civilizations.
    All the other routes heavily involve the Church and Empire conflict, so there's a through-line of the main melody in "Lady of Hresvelg" mixed into the major moments. In this route, the focus on that fight gets pushed away for a different conflict, and so a completely new musical motif takes over the end fights

    This battle in the game takes place over a kind of open, poison swamp terrain. Maybe that has something to do with the orchestra sounding distant.

    This game was my introduction to the series. I've always enjoyed the genre, but the setting always put me off. When Three Houses came out there weren't many other games of the genre on the Nintendo Switch, so I decided to pick it up. It absolutely blew me away with the gameplay and soundtrack and I've been a fan ever since. So a fairly new fan, but these games are great!!!
