Dijon Mustard Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 FE6: Suspicious (just a killer theme) and In the Name of Bern (It has a lovely, almost Wave Race-y sort of sound to it. Nothing interesting becomes of the time signature, but it keeps the pace well. It's the kind of song that functions well on a loop), FE13: Don't speak her name! (one of the few vg songs I'd listen to w/out the benefit of context) and Id (Dilemma) (really, really entrancing). Duty is great too.

Anacybele Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I have a top 10 FE songs video as well, though it was made before Awakening came out. :P In case you don't feel like watching, here's the list it goes through. 10. Preparing to Advance (The Sacred Stones) 9. Congregation of Ambition (Path of Radiance) 8. Crimea Attacks (Path of Radiance) 7. Bittersweet Victory (Path of Radiance 6. Together We Ride (The Blazing Sword) 5. Unstoppable Destiny/Against the Black Knight (Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn) 4. Victory is Near (Path of Radiance) 3. Fire Emblem Theme (Path of Radiance version) 2. Stalwarts Unite (Radiant Dawn) 1. Eternal Bond (Radiant Dawn) Thankfully for me, a lot of these are in Smash Bros. Brawl. ^^ I just found Tellius's music to be in a league of its own, really, and much better than anything else in the series (that I've played/listened to).

Wander Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) FE6: Suspicious. FE7: Companions FE8: Comrades, Rise Above, Determination FE9: Holding Your Own, With Us FE10: Eternal Bond, Conviction, The Devoted, Wheeling Corby, Opening Movie (? Dunno what this one's called) FE13: ID Returns, Conquest I had to limit myself here, there's far too much FE music. Haven't played 4/5/12 either. Rise Above, Conquest, The Devoted, and whatever that song from Radiant Dawn's opening is called would be my top four.

Dandragon Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 FE8: Powerful Foe, Arena theme FE9: Black Knight's battle theme (forgot its name) FE10: Time of Action, Wheeling Corby FE12: Tearing Shadows FE13: Id (Hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) The BK's battle theme would be Against the Black Knight in PoR and Unstoppable Destiny in RD. The one I just mentioned. lol Don't ask me why it has a different title in RD while the music itself essentially remains the same, because I really don't know. :P Edited July 31, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I always feel like an oddball in these kind of threads because I never turn the sound/music on. I find Gameboy music generally sounds bad (quality-wise) and is far more repeptitive than from other consoles. Though that could just be because the music doesn't make itself so noticable with bad quality. I rather watch youtube videos or listen to podcasts while playing, oops.

Topazd Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) FE1/3B1/11 - Showdown in Doluna Keep, Clash of Two Virtues FE2 - Celica Map 1, Final Map FE3B2/12 - Into the Darkness, Liberation FE4 - Awakening of the Holy, Dancing in the Sky FE5 - Scout For Enemies, Leaf (Final Map) FE6 - Beyond the Sky, Path of the Divine Generals FE7 - Distant Travels, Inescapable Fate FE8 - Truth, Despair and Hope, The Prince's Despair FE9 - Congregation of Ambition, Side Battle FE10 - Wisdom of Ages, Hymn of the Righteous FE13 - Such bonds are the true strength of this army, Champion ~ Ablaze I had so many I almost picked (especially from FE10, easily my favorite FE OST) but I decided to narrow it down to only two per game.

There are a lot of divided opinions when it comes to video game music on older/less powerful systems. I think it's strictly preferential and that there's nothing wrong about whether or not someone happens to enjoy "less advanced" (I swear I had an actual term for this but it lost me :I) music or not.

Wander Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 @Ana: You know, I just watched/listened to your video, and I don't remember Congregation of Ambition playing in game at all. And it's a pretty good track so I'm surprised, guess I need to replay PoR sometime. Back on topic, Radiant Dawn really does have the best soundtrack in my opinion. Rise Above might be my favorite over all though. I've heard FE4 has a really good soundtrack, but I still need to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that I dislike the music of older systems in general. My all time favourite video game music are Secret of Mana and Mystic Quest Legend. I think it's just that the loud speaker of the handhelds aren't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have added that 'older' to the statement when I essentially meant the GBA with it's somewhat "grainy" soundfonts in general. The NDS also has that problem to an extent in some games where the speakers themselves hinder the sound quality.

I know it's a map theme, anyway. :P Oh, and btw, for you FE4 fans out there, PoR has a track that is actually remixed from one of FE4's tunes. It's a trial map theme called Side Battle. I actually find this track to be pretty awesome as well, and the beginning of it makes me think of Disney. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irysa Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I'm so sad that nobody is listing A Hero's Destiny from FE11/12, that song is hands fucking down the best map theme in the entire series. It's a brilliant juxtaposition to the early game map theme, as they rearrange it into minor key. Such a great contrast to the early positive outlook that Marth has, it fits the somber, melancholic tone of the latter third of the game so well. Even just listening to this song gives me the chills and puts me into the scene of Marth's army's marching with heavy hearts towards the finale. There are other fantastic map themes (notably Tellius) but almost none of them get close to the bleakness of this song. I think only FE8 can get near to rivaling it.

garmmy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ohh I really like some FE music, so I thought to just make a post here. FE4 has my favourite music overall, but 2 and 12 are reallyyy close; Lion King Eltshan and Festival of Naga are my overall favourites probably. I have yet to play 9/10 and haven't taken the time to listen to its soundtrack so I excluded them.. FE2: Enemy Phase 2, Final Ally Phase, Chapter 5 FE4: Lion King Eltshan, Disturbance in Agustria, New Thracia Palace FE5: Adversity, August Talks A FE6: For the Commanders, Polar Region FE7: Distant Travels, Companions FE8: Rise Above, Determination FE11: Footsteps of Fate FE12: Festival of Naga, One who Carves a New History FE13: Destiny, Storm Clouds; I really like transitioning themes idea between map and battle in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Jam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I like "The Kingdom of Bern" from FE7. It reminds me of the Imperial March from Star Wars and the Stormwind theme from World of Warcraft (although I know FE7 came out before World of Warcraft).
