TheCaptain Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So by watching the trailer, it is clear this new game's music will have a completely different musical vibe. This is especially clear in two points: right in the beginning (where the eastern influence is evident) and right when the FE theme plays as they begin to show the gameplay. Compared to Awakening, the music seemed more dynamic and intense than Awakening's more grand and slightly slower style of music. What are your thoughts and opinions on this music? I personally love the new FE theme for this game, it sounds amazing, and that's what really makes me to want to watch the trailer again and again.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Mhm. I do like it more already, but I'd like to hear it ingame instead of layered over everything for the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoleo21 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 1 song does not an OST make, if you showed me Xenoblade's battle theme like the first trailer, I wouldn't have believed it to be one of my favorite soundtracks ever. That being said the song is beautiful for this game and more japanese inspiration would be interesting. The second song they showed was really catchy too, those oboes are amazing.

hammerene Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I like the music so far, but it's still a little bit too early to compare FE14's music with Awakening's. I guess we'll have to wait for the next trailer/informational video. I always felt that Awakening's music was rather calm, despite the battlefield setting. It was cool for the music to grow louder and more energetic when you enter battle though. I hope they bring that transition back to FE14.

Krum Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I agree entirely with ???, but like OP I was still pretty impressed with the music the trailer had and I really hope there's more like it in the actual game. I am in complete hype mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenoblade's kinda different since it had quite a few people on its OST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kysafen Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 *listens to the "vocal" theme from the trailer* ...I'm getting serious vibes of Turn A Gundam's "Uka" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoMCTLNOCg0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fei Mao Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 A bit early to give my critique, though I'm interested in seeing who will compose for this game. (If it will be Yuka or someone else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kysafen Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Guys! I found the main theme through l33t hacking! FEI4 Main Theme (we promise).mp3 Edited January 21, 2015 by Kysafen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Uh... Hacking what, exactly? We don't have a game or demo of this to hack. Anyway, I really liked what I heard in the trailer, so I have good hopes that this game's soundtrack will be amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Is it too ambitious to hope that this game will have translatable song lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It seems to be shaping up nicely as long as they have the main theme and bring back together we ride for recruitment damnit! Although I loved Awakening's music I think it'll be hard to top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I loved Awakening's music I think it'll be hard to top. Or maybe instead of Together We Ride we get a recruitment theme that shows what the defecting character is, what he/she stands for, what he/she has to lose through defecting, and through whatever hardships he/she may face as a result, that he/she will not back down from risking his/her life to join your side in strong resolve. Or better yet, an entire soundtrack that elegantly encapsulates the tone of the conflict at hand through tone, tempo, lyrics and time as a means of conveying the true nature of the game's themes whilst giving attention to the current action on-screen in the knowledge of what the game's true underlying philosophy is. There you go: a template for a good soundtrack. We've got a freaking formula for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I loved Awakening's music I think it'll be hard to top. I always felt that Together We Ride was part of FE7's style though haha. Together We Ride in an orchestral style... it's a little bit hard to imagine. But then again, I heard a kazoo and banjo rendition of that recruitment theme and both were rather nice. I just noticed this after watching the trailer (for the 27th time) but there seem to be bagpipes in the trailer, which was rather nice. (If they weren't bagpipes, I apologize. I'm kinda hard of hearing.) Awakening's thing was accordions so maybe this time it's bagpipes? Haha, I guess we'll have to wait and see again.

Irony Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I really want to know who is composing for this game. I am actually in love with the main theme. It's just...I cannot put my finger on it, but I love it.... And I would love it if the rest of the soundtrack was just as awesome as the main theme in the trailer! (Also: Everyone else in the FE fandom: Who is the dancer? Me: Who is the composer?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell they could just use the FE7 melody but with higher quality and I'd be content. I mean it was the theme I associated Fire Emblem with when I first heard it in Melee. Its almost kinda like what the World 1-1 theme to Super Mario Bros is in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdams901 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like the audio music. It's different from all others that have come before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Definitely needs more "oomph" than FE Awakening's music, and I like what I'm hearing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well, based off the one song I've heard so far, it sounds all well and good. I kinda hope they do more with the music during the fight animations this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulz Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I liked how Awakening's map and battle music blended with each other. I'd say the soundtrack was definitely one of Awakening's strong points, and wouldn't mind the return of a similar style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Not exactly relevant to the topic, but I wonder if the track that was played during Iwata's demonstration of FE14 in the Direct also part of its soundtrack? I never heard it again for the rest of the Direct when he talked about other stuffs. I really like that particular track, it has a unique Japanese feel to it.

Paper Dragon Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 That'd actually be awesome if that song was one of the themes for something minor, like the barracks. Its calming, I like it. I'm not sure it'd work as well in combat if they did include it. However, I pray that they change the theme during the enemy phase during Streetpass battles to whatever track plays during your phase. I really don't care much for the songs that play during the enemy phase. Its just my personal gripe. So far, the music seems pretty good and I doubt they'll mess it up.

The Geek Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I hope that the soundtrack is more than just a bunch of variations on two songs (Id and the Fire Emblem Theme) like Awakening's soundtrack was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) That was a leitmotif that showed up in a bunch of songs, but it wasn't variations on those two songs. EDIT: No different than Eternal Bonds and FE10. Edited February 23, 2015 by Lord Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
