Fire Emblem/Awesome Music


 * Of course, the Main theme from the Fire Emblem games is awesome. Take these examples, the latter being from Brawl.
 * While almost always used at the title screen, Path of Radiance instead has the Fire Emblem Theme in the epilogue. Still as awesome as ever, possibly even moreso.
 * Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has Pray for Victory, the song that plays on the Preparations Screen in all four Endgames. A powerful theme that gets the player pumped for the final battle(s).
 * Additionally, the Black Knight's theme in its prequel, Path of Radiance. The song was made even more awesome in Radiant Dawn with the subtly altered Elvis The Black Knight Lives. And what could be a more fitting and badass name for his battle music be than Unstoppable Destiny?
 * This troper, when playing Rekka no Ken, has, on occasion, sat for as long as 3 full minutes upon entering a character acquisition cutscene, grooving to "Together We Ride".
 * Seconded. One of the reasons this troper decided to check out the Fire Emblem series when it came over to the States was because he loved "Together We Ride" so much in Melee
 * Stalwarts Unite from Po R/RD? Same effect.
 * There's plenty more awesome Fire Emblem music where that came from. Strike, Combat Preparations, Roy's theme Roy's other theme, and the aforementioned Together We Ride. All remixed in Brawl, albeit under different names.
 * And then there are the songs that were awesome enough to go into Brawl unaltered. The already mentioned Black Knight's theme, Oliver's theme, Crimea's Offensive theme, Victory is Near, and of course Eternal Bond (also known as Ike's theme).
 * Radiant Dawn has some pieces of music that I am quite frankly astonished did not make it into Brawl. The biggest one by far is the final boss music, A Grasping Truth, 9 minutes long and with an epic feel to it the entire time. It does have to be pretty epic to beat out Ascent, played on the chapters right before it and definitely an awesome track in its own right. Then there's Bearer of Hope, played during all of the defense missions in that game - all 2 of them, but that music carries most of the responsibility for my absolute love of those 2 chapters. And of course, Beauty Is A Mad Mistress, the remix of Power-Hungry Fool.
 * Finale in Fear. Enough said.
 * A Trusted Ruler. One of the most calming tracks I have ever heard. First appeared in Path of Radiance, but beautiful enough to be re-used in Radiant Dawn. The latter game also remixed it into a boss battle theme very late in the game. Yes, a boss battle theme - Wisdom of Ages. And it WORKS.
 * It doesn't hurt that it plays for, That One Boss. Expect to hear it a lot in that chapter.
 * Heron galdrar. All of it. For an example of what I mean, listen to the galdr of rebirth - it's less than half a minute long and it still manages to be one of the game's most beautiful themes.
 * On that note, Repose of Souls. For music that accomplishes a sad feeling right after a Crowning Moment of Awesome, what else could they have used?
 * Path of Radiance had more than its share of great tracks. For example, A Battle and a Beginning and Congregation of Ambition.
 * No mention of Path of Radiance could be complete without Life Returns, played at the end credits.
 * Rally the Spirit. That is all.
 * Bittersweet Victory. Some shit just went down, and the music makes sure you know it.
 * The character promotion song Moving Up deserves a nod for being pure epic. This song is made even more badass when you actually see the scene of the character you have nurse from the beginning of the game being bless by the heavens to take their rightful place as your new destroyer. For reference look at Ike's promotion scene around 2:31 and see just how cool it is to become a lord.
 * Father's Back is a particularly moving song, full of melancholy and sadness. It plays after Greil's death, leaving 2 orphans behind. Mist is devastated, and soon after begs Ike to not die too, him being the only family member she has left. All the elements are in place for a Tear Jerker moment.
 * The lack of FE GBA titles here sickens me and therefore must be remedied. From Sacred Stones, we have Land of Promise, played as you are about to face the Big Bad's Dragon. And in this troper's humble opinion, Sacred Stones' version of the main theme was better done than the main theme of any other FE title.
 * While this troper agrees that the above tracks were awesome, there's many more Sacred Stones tracks that need mentioning. For example, Rise Above, one of THE best music that is played during P-Phase. Though Determination and Truth, Despair, And Hope make solid cases. Then there's Powerful Foe, used for boss battles against story-crucial bosses. Except the aforementioned Dragon; this is his awesome theme. And of course, the final boss music.
 * Comrades, also from Fire Emblem 8.
 * And Lyon's theme.
 * And the organ arrangement.
 * Don't forget Final Battle! The perfect track to grant the player just the heroic resolve they need to beat that final boss, especially after the Tragic Monster battle just beforehand.
 * I was always a bit partial to Follow Me! it plays only once in the only gaiden stage throughout the game, but its always been one of my favorite tracks in the whole game.
 * I always found Solve the Riddle deliciously sinister.
 * Although Plot Music tends to get ignored in favor of Stage and Battle music, I feel that Indignation and Legacy deserve some recognition; adding that extra little bit that helps draw you further into the story.
 * Shadow Approaches is my favorite track in all of the games I have played, and I'm very disappointed that it hasn't been posted yet. It fits Fog of War perfectly.
 * While this troper is not surprised by the lack of FE4 mention, the entire soundtrack of that game warrants mentioning.
 * The Light Still Shines On...
 * The Level Up theme is very catchy, too! Lion King Eltosian and Girl of the Forest Spirit are great too.
 * With Mila's Divine Protection, from Fire Emblem Gaiden, as well as its Brawl remix.
 * Shaman In The Dark, the final boss theme in Fire Emblem 6. God, this song is so awesome. Idoun's theme as a character is a sad, tinkly little piano melody, but when she turns into the final boss, they take it Up to Eleven and redo it with a pipe organ.
 * Not to mention the major boss battle theme: In the name of Bern as well as Zephiel's theme.
 * FE 6 has one of the best Fire Emblem tunes ever, the "join us" theme. Now that's a tune I can listen to all day.
 * Speaking of FE 6, after you've gone through some tough fights, Beneath A New Light plays, giving you the resolve to face on even greater challenges.
 * Victory from the first game, which has been remixed asA Knight's Oath in 6 and 7 and its FE 9 version Vow, usually accompanied by some awesome loyalty speeches. Also Unshakable Faith which helped create a CMOA in the final chapter of FE 7.
 * For that matter, check out the Orchestral Version
 * From FE7 there's also Companions - the melody from 0:30 is absolutely brilliant.
 * Campaign Of Fire is one of the most epic final boss battles ever.
 * Everything into the Dark is equally as epic.
 * And the good guys aren't left out either. The heroes of FE7 get their own "epic boss music"- Blessing of the Eight Generals, which plays whenever a character is using one of the Legendary Weapons once wielded by the Eight Heroes. The song is slow, beautiful, sacred; not what one would expect of a weapon theme. However, considering that the theme's very name means that the greatest heroes who have ever lived have chosen to pass on their deeds and weapons to you and your companions, it's an extremely touching and powerful final battle song. And it's yours, for once, not the bad guy's!
 * This troper thinks you forgot about blessing of the 8 generals II which played when
 * This troper thinks you all forgot about shocking truth II, . This troper thinks that combined with the autoscrolling, unskippable text, made the best cut scene out of all the fire emblem games, including the 3D ones.
 * And to twist the knife even further, if you got an A Support between Eliwood and Ninian before
 * The scene where  also gets suitably heartbreaking music, namely Final Farewell. Awesome enough in itself, but becomes almost a double Tear Jerker to those who've played FE 6 and remember the exact circumstances in which the original played.
 * Let's not forget the final boss theme for Fire Emblem 3, The Last Stand. Couldn't find the original, but the linked orchestral remix is just as good if not even better.
 * Ships and Homes, anyone?
 * Many of the battle themes in Radiant Dawn are amazing.
 * This troper can't help but hum out the bells of "On Glory's Wings" frequently due to how catchy it is.
 * The Daein Army's second attack theme, "March", is also a personal favorite for this troper.
 * The Greil Mercenaries' attack theme, "The Devoted", merely screams epic heroism.
 * Sorrowful Prince Pelleas.
 * Time of Action
 * The laguz royals all have their own battle music in Radiant Dawn. Try on Naesala's Wheeling Corby or Tibarn's King of the Sky.
 * But neither can compare with Caineghis' March of the Lion King, which is remixed from his normal theme.
 * Footsteps of Fate and Blade of Treachery, the player phase and enemy phase music for the new prologue, are indeed quite awesome.
 * Another from Path Of Radiance, we have A Mighty Foe, the battle theme of the Four Riders of Daein, which wants to make you completely aware of what kind of boss you're facing.
 * From Radiant Dawn there's The Strong, General Zelgius's battle theme. Sadly only plays in cutscenes because you never fight Zelgius.
 * Back to Shadow Dragon, there's Paean, which only plays on a small few occasions but could easily be mistaken for a main theme if you didn't know better.
 * Door of Fate, it show's the determination, pain, and sorrow everyone is going through at this point, that and the major buildup make this song even better then it already is.
 * Another classic, The End of the Holy War. Unfortunately this linked version ends in about four minutes of silence, but the first three and a half are more than worth it.
 * Fire Emblem 3: Mystery of the Emblem has Off To War, which was Covered Up by the version of the song from Rock Man 4 Minus Infinity‏.
 * Softly With Grace the perfect theme if you ever plan to be fighting for your mere survival when being ambushed by an overpowered badass swordmaster in a dark, misty night.
 * Thracia 776's defense theme is the only defense theme that made this troper say: "Oh god, I'm under attack. I'm in trouble. Though, granted the nature of that game...
 * If there's one thing Shadow Dragon and New Mystery did really, really well, it was its battle and map themes - both the revised versions of the originals and the new tracks. For Liberty, A Hero's Destiny, Expedition, Liberation, Clash of Two Virtues, [[http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe12music/032
