RidellCrimea Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I hope this hasn't been posted yet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPzuwEajLQ0 This might be the best version of the FE theme we've had so far *sheds a tear* The build up is excellent.

deleted35362 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 -shrug- i think it has way too many repeated lines in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Geargia Gateway Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So it's called Record? Like the one in Awakening was called Purpose? Ehh. I'm not diggin' it. Something about previous Fire Emblem themes like SS was just great to me. Even the one in Smash Brawl was pretty epic. Probably because back then, the theme played during the tittle and class intro screens and their handheld sound effects were just great. Seriously though, I don't see, or hear anything so great. Idk.

Minischew Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Aw, I'm honestly surprised people are so indifferent to this theme. I'm absolutely in love with it. Like the OP mentioned, I'm also riveted by the build-up; it's just so natural. The first time I heard this, I had it on a playlist. Thus, it was simply background music. When I reached the end of the build-up, I hadn't been paying attention. But I realized that the song had somehow moved from one part to another, so I actually quit my task to rewind and listen to the build-up. Maybe it's because I'm in a band, but I just love how all the instruments come together. You initially have the percussion drumming along the front lines, and then each set of instruments enter the field one by one. Once they're all assembled, Azura's song is introduced. It almost feels like I'm actually engaging in some important battle, and that build-up is the preparation before it. While I do agree that some of the notes are a bit repetitive, I'm fine with it as it doesn't seem monotonous. They introduce the repetition in a timely manner, and one that doesn't leave me too exhausted (as long as I don't listen to this same soundtrack 10x in a row). In fact, I kind of like the full-circle ending, ehe. Another thing I really love is 3:30. I have no idea why, but when I hear that part, I think of Lucina running towards the time portal. Was it a rendition of one of the Awakening soundtracks, or am I just making a random association? Either way, it still leaves me feeling very pleased. Lastly, I actually like that the song is... so calm. At first, it threw me a bit off (compare its volume to that of the Nohrian final boss's song), but I came to appreciate it. In fact, my other favorite soundtrack in this game is the calm version of the skirmish theme, haha. TL;DR: I'm love this theme as well, OP.

RidellCrimea Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) ^ Finally someone who share the same taste as me. :P I thought the build up is fantastic, probably because it's so calm. Some people might prefer the more heroic and majestic Brawl theme though, which is also a good version of the FE theme.

Great Geargia Gateway Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, that's what Awakening was going with in on the title screen, but doesn't actually go all the way through the song. Why not finish it and have both? FE: Awakening Title screen theme and Purpose? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Id~Purpose was strictly a remix of Robin's theme, which is not the main FE theme. It does take some of the melodies from the FE theme, but they're different pieces of musics. Edited July 12, 2015 by Ryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokoister Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I don't know where this song plays but I'm assuming this plays during the title screen. This doesn't really strike me as a main theme. The build up takes up half the song and feels like it's trying to build up something big, but the actual FE melody this time is really melancholy so the build up doesn't really pay off. I feel a song like this would actually work better if it was played during the credits. For some reason I get a recollection vibe from this as if I just completed an epic journey and recount both the intense and more calm parts about it.

Jedi Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think the build up in the FE4 variant served the theme better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Actually correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hitori Omou(Aqua's song)not the main theme?I mean it plays on the title screen, during CC, during the opening cutscene and is the final boss music(Well a remix of it is).

Yeah, this theme plays during the chapter records (after you beat the game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokoister Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, this theme plays during the chapter records (after you beat the game). Oh, that's good then. A VG song should strive to fit the context of the situation it's in. I thought the credits only played another version of Aqua's song but I must of remembered wrong.

Carter Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I really love this theme! It's so nice, especially the beginning with how serene it sounds. I got goosebumps when the Fire Emblem theme finally began playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
