The reason why the melody is so simple is because it’s a rearrangement of an 8-Bit track for the NES.

If you have a Fire Emblem song that appears to go for 8 minutes, that always means it's actually just 4 minutes long and loops halfway through, as video games tend to do.

This was the one Fire Emblem song everyone had been waiting for. Besides God Shattering Star, this is my second favorite OST from the series. Absolutely crazy songs befitting that of a final battle.

Fire Emblem is indeed a Japanese franchise. It's co-owned by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo. This particular entry is a remake of the second game which was originally on the Famicom, and Three Houses which you reacted to before is the 16th entry in the rpg franchise. Not counting spinoffs.

Echoes has the best Ost in FE franchise for me.

Many jrpg's end with the characters fighting some sort of god so that's why they have that epic full orchestra

Two things I like about this song: 1) "Twilight" has two meanings that fit this song well: it's both the kind of refracted light you see as the sun sets, and it's also a state of obscurity or gradual decline. As such, the name of this song suggests that the day is at an end for the Gods, which is quite thematic for what's happening in the game at that time. 2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but the chord progression also features slash chords, with the leitmotif playing over a shifting base note. I think this progression is (in Gmaj scale) vi, vi/IV, vi/ii, vi/iii when the track begins. I feel like this illustrates the feeling of twilight quite well. The base note gradually falls, then rises slightly at the end, much like the sun sets as the moon rises. All of this within the context of a higher minor chord, which represents the kind of diminished light we have at sunset.

Fire Emblem Echoes, yes ! The OST of this game is gorgeous, I'm happy to see you react to this ! =)

Someone's got to get him to give us A Funeral of Flowers reaction vid

Fire Emblem never misses when it comes to a soundtrack. Also, I think Blue Skies and Battle, and Between Heaven and Earth would be great to react to because they’re the same song, but “Between Heaven and Earth” is the remixes version

I really liked the chorus at the end, that change sounds magical

00:00 bro? 😳

This song playing while your units smack talk Duma is one of the best experiences

This was amazing. I LOVE the title screen ost "Echoes" and "Omen" just hits.

Got a big grin seeing this in my subscription box. Been looking forward to this one. The pianist for these tracks is crazy, especially for this and, "The Scion's Dance in Purgatory."

Fucking love this banger of a last battle song , cried in when you get to hear everyone last conversation

If a fire emblem song has the word "god" in it, you already know it's gonna be a banger

Shadows of Valentia has a lot of good songs, glad you enjoyed it. I hope you can react one day to "Lord of a Dead Empire" of this game too. Good video!

Glad to see more FE on this channel. Exellent breakdown as usual!❤️

You seemed much more calm and very tired compared to other videos I've seen of you. I hope you're doing well. The sections where you illustrated the core progressions with small pieces of the track on your guitar were much more interesting and "lively" than usual. It made me feel that you brought more insights than usual and that you went deeper during the breakdown. I don't know how much more time it took you, but I hope you'll do it regularly!

Melancholy and hopefulness are definitely the name of the game for this theme. Some basic lore: within the FE universe, dragons never die of old age, but if they live for too long, they will degenerate, which basically means they go mad. Exceptionally powerful dragons are worshipped as gods, as they can provide boons to their people through their magic. For instance. Mila was known to have blessed Zofia with fertile lands and bountiful harvests, and Naga has provided humanity with dragon slaying weaponry such that they can strike down degenerate dragons when the time comes. The process of the god Duma degenerating and having his sister Mila (who was also starting to degenerate) sealed away is what kickstarts the events of the game. The final map where this theme plays is essentially the main characters putting Duma out of his misery, hence the melancholy, while the hopefulness comes from the mortals taking charge to fight for the right to shape their own futures, culminating when Alm strikes the final blow, and Duma regains his sanity for a brief moment and basically entrusts the future of the continent to Alm and Celica.

Honestly I think the greatest song to react to from this game would be Scion’s Dance in Purgatory. You’d probably be blown away lol

I prefer twilight of the gods way more than god shattering star 😍

Not gonna lie, I did try to pick up on the "insane" piano run and found the part rather doable, except for the end of the run where there's a MASSIVE jump to complicate it a good chunk more than it already was. (I suppose it's been 8 years of me studying the piano but yeah) This song is fricking amazing, and apparently the choir's lyrics are a mixture of Latin and English words. I can't recall them at the moment though.

Yes ive been waiting for this one!

LET'S GOOO! You're amazing! Been waiting for this since God Shattering Star.

I haven't played Echoes yet, but the battle ost in this franchise is as good as ever

YES! Ever since you reacted to God-shattering Star I've been waiting for you to react and break down my all time favorite Fire Emblem track and one of my favorites video game tracks of all time. Thank you for the video! I want to add something. The leitmotif is one that's used thorough the entire game in several different tracks, from the very opening, so when it comes back in such a grand, epic orchestra for the final battle, where this track plays, it creates an astounding sense of finale that truly elevates the song in my eyes. And that climax at 5:07 is 👌😫 Fates and Three Houses, the other games whose tracks you reacted, also do this amazingly well.

I have this song downloaded on my phone. I dont own a 3ds, this song is just that good.

discovered your channel through this video and i'm honestly really happy that people are still making videos on this game :))

Fire Emblem has only bangers

Ok, now I have to go and check for more OSTs from Fire Emblem Echoes. Thank you for your reaction and Breakdown on this so beautiful song!!!

I didn't expect this song to be reacted to, but this is amazing, since I actually played FE: SOV. Next Fire Emblem song I'd like to hear you react to is "Funeral of Flowers", which is the only FE: Three Houses final map song you haven't reacted to, since you already did "Apex of the World" and "God-Shattering Star". Another song is "Between Heaven and Earth", from the same game, which perfectly captures the atmosphere of the game at that point.

The credits theme of this game, Heritors of Arcadia, is really amazing and you should react to that too. English version preferred but either is fine

Finally, I was waiting for this

Another stunning ost of Echoes is "A song for bygone days"

The FE Echoes OST is amazing. A little note, the second half of the composition when the chord progression changes is just the main theme of the game that sounds on the title screen, wich is more epic sounding on the final battle. Great breakdown btw, it's cool to see new details that I didn't notice before.

Ugh need to replay this game asap. This song hits hard.

A solid followup to this track is "What lies at the end" from the same game. That and this track were the two tipping points I needed to get in to the series and now I'm 3 games deep and all the happier for it.

Oh god this song is so good, and I really want to play this game but don't have a 3ds...

Wanting to see this one so bad, thank you

That piano solo build up hit me hard, and got me hyped! Especially when a character says a quote at the right moment for that build, the best if not the greatest of fights in video gaming history, and what a soundtrack

Finally some more Fire Emblem OST. I've been waiting so long. And it's even from my favorite installment.

Another great one is the opening cinematic of Radiant Dawn

I’m glad you reacted to a FE SoV OST, it’s my favourite game from the saga :)

Something that can't be noticed just from listening to the track alone is how it does the classic final battle theme thing where it incorporates motifs from the main theme, or in this case the opening theme Omen and the title screen theme Echoes.

Ah, I have been waiting for this since you listened to God shattering star! Echoes is my favorite fire emblem game, I'm glad you listened to it.

commenting a new anime soundtrack every video, day 37 today's soundtrack: main theme of violet evergarden

The song is epic because it's biblical.

After such an amazing song as this one, you should definitely do Lord of a Dead Empire. My favorite theme from Shadows of Valentia.

Also, I didn't see a comment address it, but the song does play twice because I'm the game it loops, so I guess they loop it once just so you get that effect

You looove to see it

ID Return + ID Purpose next, the modern final battle themes should be all coverd

After playing a game for 20+ hours, this is the final map. All of the tragedy, all of the effort and build up, hearing this song come on makes it all worth it. Especially if you'd played Gaiden before it. Absolute banger.

Oh man, I hope that Ace Combat Zero "Zero" reaction and break down is still gonna happen. It's amazing stuff

This actually DOES, indeed have lyrics. They definitely aren’t clear though, as they’re spoken by a Japanese chorus in Latin and English. Te des sorrow Because of the waged war Ve Des Voro Because of our resource Wo es Volo Because of the waged war Vo des Vota Because of our sorrow De Te Des Sorrow Because of the waged war Te des solo Because of the people Teach me, teach me all they have done so Glory, will never stop or unite for us in our fate We will not rest We will survive Even in the end- we will not flee Please Please Please Please Ve te, already won and swung the teeth, so heaven won seit And we already won and sung the miracles to par Te Des Sorrow Because of Wo es volo Because of The waged war Yes We will not rest We will survive In cordis We will not fret We will not rest We will survive Duma protects us

I'd like to hear your opinions on another FE Shadows of Valentia song, Scions' Dance in Purgatory

Great video, can you please do scions dance in purgatory next

Hey maybe you should react to the heritors of Arcadia which is the credit music for Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia If you do here's a bit of spoilers that don't spoil the plot but the context of the song There are two beings in the world one who is considered a mother and the other considered a warrior but at the end of the game both are unfortunately dead and the person who sings the song The heritors of Arcadia is actually one of the children of the mother. The lyrics are a sort of representation of what the mother left behind and it's done so beautifully.

Fire Emblem series…amazing！！

I hope someday he'll do Id (purpose) from Fire Emblem Awakening !!

Suggestion: Heritors of Arcadia. Still from fire emblem echoes but I love it a lot.

FINALLY

"A Song for Bygone Days" from the same game is top notch.

Patchwork chimera from Umineko. It's an awesome track, could you react to this ost?

If there is another track you should react from this game, is Lord of a Dead Empire. Such a good track as well.

If you liked this one, I'd recommend Desire Below (Flow) from FE Fates.

Hi, Accidentally found your channel. Really impressive breakdowns, thanks! I have some tracks for you with a great storytelling: Yuka Kitamura - Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower Kohta Yamamoto - Thousand love Yuki Kajiura - Your soul is bitter and sweet Yuko Kawai - Symphonic suite dEVIL (Third movement)

Definitely want him to listen to Fire Emblem Awakening's *_(ID) Purpose_* . That part about 2 minutes in is just god teir. That or *_"Don't Say her Name"_* (not sure if that's the actual title but that's what it is in the 3DS and on KZfaq)

I didn’t think I would know this song, but when watching this, I went “OOOH, that’s the song I hear during some smash games!” It really is a good track. Love your videos and I’m super happy each time you react to a new song

You have to react to dark souls 3 main theme, because is so dynamic and changeable

Fire Emblem has many great tracks, some very few listen to or know about these days. I recommend finding some remastered GBA tracks for FE6 7 and 8, because they have some very pretty short tunes.

Suggestion: Conquest (Ablaze) from FE: Fates

Hope to see you listen Ajin main theme

Hope you react to the song: "the Heritors of arcadia" someday, it's from the same Game and it's amazing

0:00 25:55

Garden of Sinners music reaction video please! Your ears will be very happy

You should react to Berserk's Aria

you should react to id (purpose) from fire emblem awakening

A song for bygone days

Day 49 of requesting House of Sacred Remains from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Beautifully atmospheric track and one of my fave's from video games in general. It'd be awesome to hear what you think of it. It's the theme of a level set starting from a cathedral and ending in the crypts through lots of library areas, it's not a particularly significant or infamous level at all but I think the track really reflects the hallowed grounds housing sacred relics beautifully. The 4 minute upload from the Castlevania Sound Team is the one to listen to.

This track is actually them taking an old 8 bit song and going wild with it in the remake. I feel there are Richard Wanger vibes in here as well. The song fits the context so well. To try to avoid spoilers for a fantastic game, The Gods are going mad in thier old age, and it is a battle of Mankind to liberate themselves from the dark tyranny of the last remaining God. Ironically, it is thier human avatars, the one whose journey is the same as the aspect of thier respective God, Power and Love, who are to kill the Last God and set man free. One of the more epic Fire Emblem plots with more historical and mythological motifs, which makes it elevate from a common plot to something more epic.

Fire Emblem Echoes has my favorite soundtrack in gaming

He should react alight or a dark fall from fates, I would like to see his opinion

I would have bet that you would react to Ashes on the Fire to celebrate the release of AoT season 4 part 2... When are you gonna react to this masterpiece?
