Mighty Kamina Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Most of the Fire Emblem games have great soundtracks. I was wondering which map themes stick out to people as their favorite. My Favorite: I believe this song is called either "Chased" or "Adversity". I feel this song really captures the feeling of Leif and Co's struggle to escape from enemies who are Stronger, Better Equipped, Smarter, and heavily Outnumber Leif's army. (From a story stand point) It also helps that most of the chapters that use this theme are difficult and will kick an ill prepared player's ass.

BrightBow Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) "A Hero's Destiny". Dramatic, tragic and conclusive. And I absolutely love how they mixed the original map theme into it. It really hits you into the nostalgia. "Soldiers of Granada" (Tear Ring Saga). Mind you, the version from the actual game is a lot better then the one from the official soundtrack that we have on this site. It's just a rather unfitting dramatic theme for the wacky antics of Holmes' swimming kindergarten. "Adversity" was definitely used a lot better. "Leaf" (FE5) was just great. A triumphal arrangement of your leitmotif has to be the best way to accompany your last stand. "Land of Promise" (FE8) feels extremely mysterious and dangerous. It's just perfect. "Light Inheritors" (FE4) I don't like most of the game's map themes but this one is just wonderful. It beautifully symbolizes the legacy left behind by the first generation and gets you really pumped to get the rebellion rolling.

Sasori Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Its a hard choice, but I think Distrubance of Agustria is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsalmon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Adversity (Thracia 776) is probably the overall most fitting song in any Fire Emblem game for the chapters it's used in. A great theme. :D My personal favorite is Road of Sorrow (Radiant Dawn); it's poignant and is very fitting for the Dawn Brigade chapters. Confront the Past (Sacred Stones) is also great; it's a real shame that it isn't actually played in the story chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshineYON Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Wind across the Plains just gives me nostalgia up the butt so I have to mention it. Dragon's Gate II gives a demonic, final chapter, but there is still hope feeling that is perfect for a last chapter music. Beyond the Sky has a great ring to it. It just feels like your playing something authentic. It's not trying to be cool, but the feeling is there. /end weird explanation. Birth of the Holy Knight Girl of the Sprit Forest Dance in the Skies I love a lot of the Gen I Genealogy tracks. I love all Early Game, Eirika's route tracks in Sacred Stones, I hate Ephraim's route's music and the end game's... I dunno. One of the reasons I always play Eirika's route. That and the story. Ike's Resolution. Is this even a map theme? I know it is in the OST, but I don't recall this being in a particular map. Also Greil Mercenaries is beautiful. From Radiant Dawn, A Grasping Truth fit the "OOOHHHHHH SHIIITTT, AM I GOING UP AGAINST A GOD???" feeling. Chaos, and oh god the Ablaze version(Though not a map theme) are genius! Obligatory Conquest... and the Ablaze version... I think I like most of Awakening's battle themes is because of the excellent Ablaze, Galvanaized versions and how they mix so well with combat, another reason to turn on battle animations, whereas in previous versions, where it was a chore. Also, Prelude, Divine Decree, Don't speak her name!, Run all you like-you can't escape fate, DUTY(especially), Id(Purpose)(Oh god yes!) Yes Awakening has my favorite soundtrack, after that Path of Radiance. Edited April 9, 2013 by Weiβ Schwarz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon of Sin Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) FE3/FE12 FE4 with honorable mentions FE5 with honorable mentions FE6 FE7 FE8 FE9 FE10 has very awesome music Not too sure on FE13 since I didn't finish the whole thing. Don't speak her name was ok but not the best thing since sliced bread IMO, despite being quite atmospheric.

Anacybele Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Eternal Bond Eternal Bond Eternal Bond! It's my favorite video game song of all time! I first heard it in Brawl where it's titled Ike's Theme (and it kind of IS his theme too. It only plays on Ike's maps in RD, and it plays when he appears in the game's intro movie) and before I even played any FE games. I just thought it was totally epic! And it gets bonus points for being IKE'S theme too, of course. EDIT: Oh, I also like Crimea Attacks and Congregation of Ambition from PoR. I think both are map themes as well.

Doga Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I know it's not a map theme, but Power Hungry Fool is one of my favorite songs in FE9. And Pelleas's theme is really nice and somber. Again, not a map theme, but I love the harpsichord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Oh, oh, I forgot one! Victory is Near, also from PoR! It only plays in some early seize chapters, though. If your units defeat all the enemies before Ike seizes the seize point, this theme plays. It's so catchy and cheerful, I love it! And it got in Brawl too! In fact, Brawl has several of my favorite FE tunes. Eternal Bond, Victory is Near, Crimea Attacks (Brawl calls it Crimean Army Sortie), and Unstoppable Destiny/Against the Black Knight. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
