The English lyrics are awesome! I love how you tied it back to "God Shattering Star" at the end 🤩 can definitely see a lot of effort went into it, thanks for creating such an amazing re-imagining of this song 😍

Looking forward to it! It’s always so great when actors/voice actors interact with their fans! It shows that they care and brings a lot of attention to the franchise :)

You da man Joe!

Every day, I'm all the more justified in my choice of the Golden Deer. You do us proud, Joe

This was amazing Joe!! It made my day seeing you collab with Jules!

“Hold my Failnaught”

"Hold my deer..."

Isn't that Nemesis who sing

More like “bro are you even upside down?”

​@@tezerethIts Joe singing so it's Claude

for me it's "Dragon's blood in Rivers run"... Oof lol

Especially since he isn't talking about himself, but the *_sword_* he's holding

The classic pacing of "The Power of Friendship" to *_"Let's kill a god"_* in a JRPG. 😅

@@blankets5782 I mean pretty much every Fire Emblem has you killing a god by the end or so. A few exceptions here and there but primarily Fire Emblem has always been about going to kill a god. XD

Noo It hasn’t been 4 years It’s not that old It can’t be THATS IMPOSSIBLE (Damn tho, you’ve made me feel old)

Goes to show how engaging Three Houses was. (Pun absolutely intended)

@@ShermTank7272 I hear Echoes during the Radiant Dawn, a Mystery in the Shadows, Awakening me to the Path that is my Fate, the sun Blazing over the Three Houses, Engaging my Sacred Birthright, on this Holy Conquest of which I share my Revelation with thee (Puns :D )

​@carltonpowell5313 young boy, it has been 21 years since Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword release on GBA. How do you think I feel?!

In short; Not a literal translation, but a singable translation

The original is a bit more poetic, though.

​@@Ninjaananas I mean, they basically translated it like you would japanese (an extremely poetic language). The original meaning is poetic, but this version is singable.

Tbh, I would have followed Nemesis, if we ever get a prequel game I would play the Nemesis route first.

@@shizachan8421 Considering he was the one who freed humanity from the nabateans’ first regime, I’m with you.

If nothing else he has a ton of music experience, he's been making remixes of games about as long as Jules has!

Protools

You might say hes an expert novice of some sort

well he's had voice acting training probably but not for singing

Voice Acting and singing are fairly similar especially with the help of a good audio technician. You do music/performance oriented stuff you tend to pick up some level of singing talent

I can see him doing this while T-posing Nemesis to assert Dominance

@@FierceGalactaKnight Same there

This is funnily enough Claude's theme and not Nemesis's

@@shadicboom1695 That's also true. The theme actually fits Claude the most with the English lyrics than Nemesis.

@@kuroganeuzumaki5759 yes, this is solidified by the fact in feh the trailer for Legendary Claude is the one with God shattering star

It's a dream come true for me.

Probably because you don't understand gibberish-ized Latin that the original is in haha. But the name alone God Shattering Star makes it clear is the theme of Nemesis and not Claude too, as Nemesis is the one actively antigod and successful god slayer at that too

​@@DarkLordTaloni diggress, because claude's skill he gains from failnaught his signature weapon has star in its name, and as a godly being, nemesis being the god shattered by said star would make it seem like it is about claude.

As the one who laid the dragons low, he is the eponymous "God-Shattering Star"

YEAH 👍

That was 3 years ago. For real!

Feels like just a bit ago. I saw this and wondered if I was misremembering.

I know! I remember watching Joe Zieja's Twitch stream when the original had just come out, and he showed all of us. Good times!

It was the Pademic year.

That's The Golden Deer for ya

My favorite is Blue Lion, that doesn't mean that I don't like this of course, Blue Lion was the most emotional for me and the one that pierced my poor heart the most

Houses Golden Deer is mid. Now Hopes Golden Deer is top tier, Claude finally raising up to the challenge and becoming a god-shattering superstar himself.

@@shizachan8421 Only if you want the Empire to win on his route, apparently. It's incredibly disappointing, considering Edelgard shows no signs of intending to stop after the Church is defeated in GW. Would've been _far_ more interesting if the Federation conquered Fodlan on their own route. Houses Golden Deer is far better.

Fear the deer

Dorothea: “I don’t want to show off.” Claude: “I AM COME!”

well if you really think about it their world got invaded by some alien dragon claiming to be god and then created a bunch of dragons to be her children and decided to now rule humanity, their people instead worshiped ancestors and so they were against the church, sure the dragons helped their development but that doesn't justify servitude, and sure they created weapons of mass destruction but considering this alien dragon basically destroyed the very world by flooding it one cannot say their fear was entirely unfounded, it was the alien dragon who invaded this world in the first place, nobody ordered it to come here and give science/magic to humans so if it wants to claim godhood and not have people fight back then onus of diplomacy is on the alien dragon not on the humans, who can blame then for becoming extremists after being forced to hide underground for centuries and then being in disguise for even longer, specially while watching their own race being tainted by the blood of their enemies and reduced to primitive fools who worship the very thing that enslave them, I would say that their reaction was quite reasonable.

@@colorpg152 I love Edelgard too. However, it doesn’t justify Thales being a total asshole eagerly manipulating the situation to seize power. He manipulated Nemesis and the Ten. He manipulated Dimitri and Edelgard, the latter personally. And to be fair to Rhea, losing your entire family and having their blood and bones crafted into weapons, including your mother, would drive anyone to madness. And not just because that’s what happens when a dragon gets too old in Fire Emblem.

I love how this comment about claude memeing this song on nemesis somehow spawned replies arguing TWSITD's justifications for atrocities committed in the game.

@@brendanrisney2449 Would you believe me if I said people have said weirder things to me saying mundane shit? Whitewashing Thales’s crimes (he’s not the best source for that) is weird, but I’ve also had people proclaiming their love for Homura Akemi.

@@homuraakemi103 there's got to be a link somewhere

The song always had lyrics. The language was made up from a combo of real languages (Latin, Norse and Greek if I'm remembering correctly) it was only recently that IS revealed the official translation to Japanese which was then translated to English by fans and adapted for this video to be singable

That's neat ! @@ultimate9056

This is why i love Man on The Internet's version of it. Instead of having the translated text, MOTI made his own lyrics to fit the song! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNGGpLV10N6co58.htmlsi=I1PEB_zc7q2U2mFX

Well yeah the godess just showed up and started changing things with her children, so by nemesis killing her his followers obviously saw him as "the king of liberation" even tho nemesis was nothing more then a super powerful bandit and just used them to aid his conquest.

Ho I know a name just perfect for it Nemesis...

Oh, that sounds like a fun campaign

*spoilers* (I think) Yep. He has technically stolen the nemesis's title by defeating him so... (At least for me)

The original song has lyrics, they are in a made up language but they are there. This wasn't a lyricless song.

@@nickelakon5369 I’m aware, I’ve read the description and Joe’s pinned comment, but we didn’t have a translation of the lyrics until recently.

@@SaintBoot As far as I know, this lyrics are made up by FJ, but they represent Nemesis very well. Especially because it takes into account part of the character's lore (Nemesis was a somewhat noteworthy bandit in a time when Fódlan had been apparently invaded by foreign forces. TWSITD approached him with promises of power so that he could free his land from the invaders, and in doing so, becoming a ruler). So the lyrics fit him so much.

​@@SaintBootthere are official lyrics (although it's sung in a made up language) but these aren't it. They are vaguely similar though

Yeah it's less about God more the draconic Gods of the world who seem to play God because they are powerful not because they're actually holy like the real God Hence they fail 😄

@@jaimeXDgo The exact phrasing is different to fit the music better, but the message of the song is the same as the official lyrics.

@@SaintBoot These are not the official lyrics, but there is similarities to the actual one. The overall message however is the same, with Nemesis calling himself the godshattering star and rallying his troops to follow him into battle.

This guy voices wriothesley btw

We know it’s not “technically” Claude’s theme. It’s just fucking hilarious to imagine him belting this out, even if it robs Nemesis of the only actual characterization he gets.

Sung by Claude 's voice actor no less LMAO Joe is awesome

All the final bosses themes in Three Houses are from the perspective of the enemy. The only exception was Edelgard's route, which was also the one with less development time
