This was an incredible project to work on with FamilyJules! Getting the English version of God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem Three Houses was no easy feat, but as I talk about in this video, an incredibly satisfying one. Stay tuned for an interview I recorded with FamilyJules later on this month, in addition to checking out our cover!

I cannot believe it took me hearing Joe say FamilyJules out loud to finally get the "Family Jewels" joke, how did that go over my head all this time
Much respect for the lengths you go to. Your dedication has kept the fandom alive through the years
We love Claude and God Shattering Star being his final boss music is hell amazing ❤
The sword of the creator could cut mountains apparently, according to Claude
I mean claude even said that he wantee to cut a mountain at one point
So it's probably nemesis flexxing, which inevitably pisses claude off because now, not only teach can cut mountainszl, but nemesis too, and the real reason he left fodlan was to find his own way to literally cut fodlans throat, the mountain range separating almyra and the Leicester alliance
If the original version was already breathtaking, what you did with the lyrics here was a masterpiece. I spent several hours listening to it and paying attention to the lyrics (my musicologist side was going crazy), and the more I did those things, the more I loved it. You've really made this song into your own thing, and seeing how much you enjoyed it, to the point where you willingly sang in it shows the passion you have for music and for the FE fandom.
Now being able to see part of the process behind it is utterly fascinating. Coming up with good lyrics that fit the melody, rhythm and whatnot isn't at all easy, especially when adapting them from another language. But it takes a true expert to did it, and that's just what you are.
If I already respected and admired you as a musician, voice actor and as a person, this made me enjoy your work even more. Kudos, Joe. You made a Claudical Hit.
Funny to think about Claude and Nemesis fighting over pancakes XD
But seriously tho, you and FamilyJules keeping the God-Shattering Star shining brighter than ever with your masterpieces!
Y'know, I'd never really thought of Claude and Nemesis being foils of each other in that way, and it's really bringing a newfound deeper sense of appreciation for both their characters! I think I realized this song was Nemesis's when I was playing through the game for the umpteenth time, and I realized that the opening melodic phrase of God Shattering Star actually makes an appearance in the very first cutscene in the game when Nemesis appears to confront Seiros. I think that was when I clued in that "oh, God Shattering Star is Nemesis's leitmotif, so the song is his!" Loved the original cover, and I love this English translation!
For those that didn't read it, here's the *King of Liberation* class description: "Under the pretense of liberating Fódlan from a reign of deception, this king rallied his people to arms in the War of Heroes."
Essentially, Nemesis' proclamations of liberation in the song is propaganda to make himself King. As Joe pointed out, some of his true motives leak out as it goes on. This really does set him up as a foil to Claude, because Claude actually does have the values of freedom Nemesis claims to have, and without the self-glorification.
I can't believe you put that Jules vid at the end lmao
I knew, going into this, that the end bit would somehow make an appearance. My expectations were met
The first thing i noticed when listening to your English cover of the song was how the goals and aspirations of nemesis are a sort of twisted mirror to Claude and his own goals. This was something that completely went over my head when playing the game and it makes the ending make a lot more sense in my eyes.
I HONESTLY never really cared about Voice Actors. I just kind of skimmed through them, recognized a voice here or there. But that's really about it. Ever since Fire Emblem Three Houses came out, Joey was the first one to ever really grab my attention and make me realize just how cool Voice Actors are! And ever since, he has done so much more. He never disappoints. I'm so glad you are our House Leader Joey! Wouldn't have it any other way. Fear The Deer!
I AM COOOOOOOOOOOME
THE ENDING LMAO
It's great to have this insight into the adaptation of a song. Before this, I thought the line "...will carry warning to the ears of my usurper" was meant for Byleth, given that he/she was now in posession of the true Sword of the Creator and his/her army using the Crest of Flames as their flag.
Love the analysis of the God-Shattering Star! While I knew it was Nemesis singing the lyrics, the emphasis on Claude and Nemesis being foils to each other was really poignant
This is a cool look behind the scenes I like the way the song turned out it’s amazing.
Fear the Deer 🦌 💛
I AM COME
HAHAHAHA 🤣 I am come
Honestly it's so interesting to hear people's different takes on the lyrics for this song.
Love your analysis of Claude vs Nemesis! We can see how passionate you are about this
Everyone did such a fantastic job with this. Within approximately 4 minutes of finding the English cover, I had sent it to all of my friends, and wife. God Shattering Star is easily my favorite Fire Emblem song and is one of my favorite video game songs of all time. I love the parallels you draw in this video between Claude and Rhea. I also really love the stanzas with "fervor, ears of my usurper, look no further." I really appreciate how it ends, both in lyrics and in delivery. It is simple, succinct, yet powerful. "I am the God Shattering Star." Thank you for embarking on this project, truly, and thank you for making Fire Emblem 3 Houses such a joy to experience with all this extra content and love.
"Rivers of Dragon's Blood" as creative license... *nervous chuckle*
Excited to see the outcome.
I’ve been looking for lyrics for a long time so I could do an opera cover
This was a fantastic video that I've been excited to see. I love how profound and deep the storytelling of this game gets and you told the story through song so poetically. Not to mention you have the range and power of any vocalist I've ever met throughout my years of being a university music student. Some day when there's time I also want to sign me up for your voice acting business. I think it'll help connect me even deeper to the stories I hope to compose music for some day. Thanks for all the effort you pour into the community. It does not go unappreciated.
Absolutely loved both covers, great work man
Yes!! Thank you for making this. Ive been feeling depressed as of late. Your video helps. 😊
Amazing Job!
And boy am I glad you made this banger. I always fire it up when I need to get pumped for a task. (Or when I feel a little defiant, but pssst, don't tell my boss ;D )
I absolutely cannot wait to show my buddy y'alls english cover of God Shattering Star. He's just a little golden fawn right now, but in introducing him to FE through Three Houses (and advising him in joining the best house first), he's been starting to blitz through the story a bit. Naturally, he loves everyone in the Golden Deer... Minus Lorenz, of course...
But I wanna see his mind get blown when I show him the english cover! Fear the Deer!
Always loved the original metal cover despite not knowing the context and the English lyrics interested me enough that I'm finally playing Three Houses lmao
As someone who prefer’s Edelgard’s path. I fucking love Joey for doing this 😂
I seriously just finished watching the song cover LOL
Hey Joe! I’m due any minute with my daughter, my baby girl - her name is Lysithea 💜 🌹 She’s one day overdue,and I’m just waiting… super nervous! You uploaded this on the perfect day 🥰
Maybe it’s a sign I’m about to go into labor 😂🎉
Also, love that you still make content like this - you love this game, story, and characters as much as we do, and it shows. You’re the best! 🫂❤️
May your baby be born healthy and strong and grow to be an excellent Golden Deer!
AWWWW 🥰 Hello baby Lysithea (please don't cast magic on me) 🤣
Congrats. May her Dark Spikes strike fear in the hearts of all her enemies.
Congratulations! You chose such a pretty name for her.
I wish her the best and may she grow strong and healthy, while her becoming a mighty glass cannon herself.
Don't suppose there is an instrumental version of metal "God Shattering Star' FamilyJules has released? Would love to sing this song!
I saw Jules in your title and had to click! I loved his cover of Snowboard Kids

anyway, on a small note. I think the original Lyrics for God Shattering Star in the game are meant to in ancient Fodlan-dialect, which is presumably the language spoken back then when Nemesis was around, but that's just what I think anyway.
You're such a cool dude 😎💛
Would love to see you, Griiffin and Patrick would do a trio collab
@1:23 No sources in description.
Me looking at the content the voice actors for Engage have done: "Wow, nothing!"
huh. I wish that character motivation and claude foil existed in the story as much as it does in the gameplay. Very cool detail
What Nemesis represents does as much to fill if not more to fill in the gaps. Him and all the nobles are what made Fodlan the classist, racist hellhole it is. All the characters suffer at least some effect from the nobility and the crests, most all of the characters hate the system, but they all realize they can't fight it because the system has been ingrained in Fodlan culture for generation after generation. That is until Claude gave them the option to break the core of that very system.
okay
luv u playing claudes voice. you should tell the video editor to cut out dead spaces in video cuz it looks awkward to watch
