Agro Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Calling for speculation. As the resident music nerd, I'm wondering what your hopes are with the music system this time around. Do you think we'll get Ablaze versions of old Gaiden tracks? We're now used to getting at least 5-6 new chapter themes in a game, but the original game only had 3. Are you hoping for new tunes? I'm hoping for a good mix of both. I love the Calm/Ablaze system and hope it becomes a series staple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Remixes of the old music, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I noticed in the trailer that music was really similar to this old arranged soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5eqskPbczo&list=PLq6hW7-B_11aOuIXYm5P5O8Hk43vZSG6P&index=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexArtsHere Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If Land of Sorrow sounds as good as Alm's Battle Map, then I'll be happy, but I've said in the Hopes and Fears thread that I'd like Awakening and Fates tracks to reappear as optional for dungeon battles.

Knight Falchion Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I like what I've heard so far and am hoping the rest of the old chiptunes are arranged in a similar fashion to Alm's map theme. Implementation of the Calm/Ablaze system could work and, given that Fire Emblem's map themes are almost always superior to their in-battle themes, might be preferable, but I hesitate to hope for it since I get the feeling they'll want to keep all the old themes. I do think they will add some new music, such as more boss tracks. No matter what happens, though, I'll be happy so long as we get great renditions of With Mila's Divine Protection, Land of Sorrow, and the Final Map theme.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarastel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Mila's Divine Protection. Seriously, cannot count how many times I've heard that song in Brawl and Smash Wii U. A remake of it is something I'm really looking forward to, especially since Alm's battle theme was my #1 song that I wanted to hear remade, and I've already heard it, so yeah.

AlexArtsHere Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Give Land of Sorrow organ and accordion leads or I'm not buying this game, IntSys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I really liked the Gaiden attack theme, so I actually hope we don't get Ablaze stuff. Â I have no problem with ablazes, I actually really like the idea and it flows quite well, I just don't want to sacrifice the old attack theme to implement it. Other than that, exciting arrange of the Final Chapter theme and I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalancedPro Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It would be amazing if they allowed the option to switch between the new arranged soundtrack and the classic NES sound chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, but why? This is Gaiden, not Awakening / Fates. I've already heard my favorite track (Alm's map), so I have complete Faith in what they will do with the OST. It would be fun to have an option to toggle the music back and forth between modern and original. Gaiden still has one of my faovrite OSTs!

Hardin Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hopefully like Shadow Dragon they'll add in some new tracks for the battle maps. With the dungeon encounters, just having the same two tracks will get old really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Malign Knight Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Honestly, the only thing I want is to see the old Duma battle theme into a more creepy and epic one, since It's my favorite ost of the game. I also am curious to hear what kind of ost they'll give to Rudolf, considering that, if i remember correctly, he just had the generic boss theme, but I could be wrong in this regard.

Troykv Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I wonder if they will special boss themes to the important bosses outside of Duma (Tozeh, Rudolf and Judah) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 i hope they do battle themes instead of the whole ablaze thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the battles seem to move a lot faster and there may not be time to do a full transition. Now that I think about it, it'll be really interesting to see what they do!

The soundtracks were great and while I would love to have new compositions too, this allows the team to pad out the in game music selection with very little expense.

Tryhard Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) A fanmade version of Encounter from Gaiden, which is one of the stranger recruitment themes, but this is really good. Hopefully the version in game is similar to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRfbfNO-jcc  Also, I'm going to find this one... interesting... if it is getting remade.

fengaridotdll Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm really hoping for a good remix of the final map theme, it's one of the best final map themes in the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L9999 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 With Mila's Divine Protection being like Brawl's but it won't happen. I also want the attack theme to sound great like FE8, instead of the sleep inducing Attack theme from Smash 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Moth Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm not too concerned about arrangements, as the few tunes we've heard so far are fairly faithful to the source material even as they expand the duration of the tracks. What I'm more concerned about is new material and whether it will mesh well with the old motifs and Tsujiyoko's writing style. Tonal consistency was a massive issue with Fates' soundtrack, with too many chefs in the kitchen and too many different aesthetic directions yanking the OST around. I fear another soundtrack as disappointing as Fates'. Do we have any confirmation on who's scoring this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
