kingddd Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I just finished watching the DVD and here are my thoughts and personal opinions on it. Above is a preview of what you're going to be getting out of the dvd. Have you ever wanted an official orchestra rendition of your favourite Fire Emblem games all jammed packed in many different instruments all played at once? Look no further! This is a must have and must own DVD collection for all Fire Emblem Fans. This dvd oozes with 2 hours of footage of all your favourite songs played in glorious orchestra symphony with small twists here and there. The songlists are great and they picked all the best songs for all of the games in the series. FE4 and FE5’s medleys were rendered beautifully and definitely won’t disappoint fans of the SNES games. Majority them got consistent proportion of the showtimes although there are a few games that I felt could have gotten a bit more but for what they were presented were good enough. Be aware there are spoilers for the Aqua song so if you don't want to spoiled by scenes they show off look away from that portion immediately. The drama proportions were pretty cutesy and it was mostly random banters between the side characters and a bit of Aqua involved. It was pretty funny seeing the voice actors wear their shoulderplates and holding the weapons of the characters they were voicing. They aren’t professional props but will certainly give you a nice little amusement.There were a couple of scenes where they showed off the FE merchandise that was in the concert and I felt this was the weakest part of the DVD. It occupies about 7 mins which isn’t a lot but it basically showed off the host presenting us with some neat merchandise. Unfortunately due to how difficult it is already to acquire these items, it makes it feel like she was mocking us with all these cool stuff that we cannot get. It’s harmless but as a fan, it can make some of us feel annoyed that we couldn’t be there to get them.Another issue I have is that it is released only in DVD right now. Because of this, the resolution you’re going to get from this is going to be low resolution at 480p. So you're not going to be getting the highest video quality image. Of course, the grand final with the chorus of the Fire Emblem opera song was a great way to finish off the concert and the showing.There are surprisingly 3 special feature videos. The first one is the 25 mins of some staff commentaries, what they felt, insight of the concert and some developments of the series. The second and third are just trailers of the FE0 cipher card trailers. Dute Note: The DVD is region locked so you'll have to find a way to bypass it. My DVD player on my computer was able to bypass it perfectly fine with some settings being switched. Here are the instructions of how I did it. Keep in mind this is done on a Windows PC. Open Device Manager Find your DVD and right click it to go to its Properties Click the DVD Region Tab Select Japan (Region 2) and click ok. Edit: Time Stamps and Information of Content.

christianponte Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Sounds like there are more songs (vocal works) than I expected. I imagined it was mostly just pieces (instrumental). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I listened only to the FE theme and Eternal Bond for now in that video, but both are great! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This entire thing is amazing. Amazing. I only wish there were subs for the skits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatt Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 If you live in Europe, you have already a region 2 DVD player. Also, the number of region change for a DVD player is limited to few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angienessyo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I wish they had released it on BD, because I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. Not so much because I need to see it in HD, but because we share the same BD region as Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It sounds really nice, love the FE1 battle them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimeanRoyalKnight Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) It's already out? Very nice. I hope they realease a CD instead of a DVD, because I only care about the music, to be honest. Edit: Just heard the previews. I really want to hear the full thing, I never thought listening to Wind of the Plains would make me feel so nostalgic.

Hardin Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 DDD, could you identify which songs were in the Gaiden medley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingddd Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) DDD, could you identify which songs were in the Gaiden medley? Pieces, guys. Pieces. Well the content is ordered like this. Please note that I may have missed out on some songs but this is from what I can recall while looking at the video itself. The number in the brackets is the time stamp so it gives you an idea how long it is for each songs and the presentation for each.

christianponte Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just FYI, all I meant was that it's a "song" if it has vocals and is sung. If it's purely instrumental, it's called a "piece" instead. Most people don't know the difference, but as a music teacher, it's one of my weird pet peeves lol.

Hitori Omou Life Returns Fire Emblem Opera Are the only ones that have vocals. So the rest of the concert is purely instrumental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
