♫ Fire Emblem Heroes BGM: 「Book IX / 9」 ー Boss Theme (VS Höðr/Baldr) (bgm_boss14) 【Extended】

[@kosmosshift2577]

“Captain! The enemy is doing some Touhou shit”

[@TheAxeLordOfFire]

IS THAT THE RED MIST?!

[@Husky-gj3fe]

O-O

[@prismus6520]

Baldr's fantasy seal and Hodr's master spark, riiight

[@PenguinWithInternetAccess]

Those Who Slither In The Dark : "finally a worthy opponent"

[@LAPCGames]

Our concert will be legendary!

[@orion9630]

I’m assuming you mean their theme right?

[@_cephas_]

it’s a remix of the final map enemy phase from fe1 and medeus’s theme

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

Literally all of the Book 9 OST is remixes from FE11 or 12

[@_cephas_]

@ yeah it seems a theme for this book is origin/creation so pulling from the series’s beginning titles fits

[@shikuri3178]

Also some Duma's theme riffs from Echoes

[@arkiisums]

And here we thought Book V would be the peak of FEH tech...

[@GMKGoji01]

Only because Book V had the LITERAL Mega Man 11 composer! I think! Plus, Book V's main theme is literally Sandman's theme from Spider-Man 3!

[@-lord1754]

Send this to an FE fan from like 2010 😭

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

This is funny because all of Book 9 OST is remixes from FE11/12 which were the two most recent games in 2010

[@yacmoth770]

Yes that's me, I've been listening to this and the map theme for 4 hours it's so good

[@-lord1754]

@@yacmoth770 same tbh

[@gokunenn4243]

What is even your point? A FE fan from 2010 would probably be able to know this is a remix from the latest games by then.

[@-lord1754]

@@gokunenn4243 Its not just the song the whole video. FE in 2010 was way more grounded and traditional. Here its a techno remix with futuristic xenoblade looking characters with rifles. Its humorous because FEH does its own thing that kinda contradicts a lot of what the old games are.

[@gyaruade]

0:00 Final Chapter Enemy Phase (FE1) 0:40 if I'm not mistaken, this is the exact same 'rumbling' sound effect that plays when Medeus transforms and emerges from the ground, straight from FE1 0:40 Vs. Medeus (FE1) Fun fact: Duma's battle theme (FE2, Echoes) uses parts of both songs here, so it's not entirely incorrect to call it a remix of that theme as well.

[@gyaruade]

Official track names, for those who care: FE1: Battle Map 5 - Last Map (CP Side), Fight 4 - Battle with Medeus FE11: Last Revels, Medeus Shadow Dragon

[@ohblock3670]

​@@gyaruade Nice calls like noticing the NES soundeffects

[@TheCoolerIdeasGuy]

What if every chapter of Book 9 has a different set of remixes for each game in the series? Like, the first chapter it’s these FE1/11 remixes, then in chapter 2, it’s Gaiden/Echoes remixes, and so on so forth.

[@alrox9760]

I doubt it.... BUT IT WOULD BE COOL

[@eduardobustamante4749]

Heck, listening to past enemy themes remixed, I wonder what will they use for Alfador, maybe Nemesis theme or Sombron's

[@giratinalight]

This is so good omg reminds me of a rhythm game and I can actually see it in a rhythm game it's a literal banger.

[@RogueCheepSheep]

We need a Nintendo rhythm game with FE and Dragalia Lost tracks.

[@paperluigi6132]

Now we need them to make new Tap Battles instead of recycling old ones.

[@JAMllostthegame]

I can hear: Final map Enemy Phase Medeus battle theme Huh, we seem to be getting enemy phase remixes around here.

[@shikuri3178]

With some Duma theme riffs

[@natk205]

Fighting a defense attorney and a prosecutor... I'm getting (U)MVC3 flashbacks because of this.

[@Megasergio92]

If the defense attorney is played by an Irish man... RUN

[@MrChomper4SmashTrend]

Finally, a male hero joining the Askr heroes.

[@traskth]

Its said that the nine realms swore a pact to not harm Baldr. We, the summoner, are not of the nine realms. I hope that we have to use the summoner to defeat Baldr

[@thehermit8618]

In the mythology Hoðr accidentally kills Baldr by shooting him with an arrow made of mistletoe, the only thing in all the nine realms unbound from the pact of invulnerability and the one who gave Hoðr the arrow to shoot Baldr with was none other than Loki.

[@traskth]

@thehermit8618 hoðr mentions to Loki and Thorr that Baldr thinks they serve another master. While the two of them say no, they serve the summoner, as cononically everyone summonable is in Askr and has a contract with the summoner. It would be lazy to just straight up follow the myth, but its entirly possible. Loki and Thorr very easily could be setting up Baldr and/or Alfaðr to fail. We also know that lif is gathering lost villains to serve a new purpose, and that it relates to Alfaðr and Loki, she name-dropped him back in book 3

[@thehermit8618]

@traskth oh i know its not gonna go 1:1, hardly anything in FEH has been accurate to general mythology "canon" as it is. Just pointing out how it went to have an idea of what might happen

[@shikuri3178]

​@@traskth well there are no lost villains beginning from Book 5, especially Book 7 since Gullveig and Kvasir are part of Seidr now and Book 8 Ratatoskr and her siblings got their happy ending at the expense of Laeradr's demise

[@ivanquote1807]

My guess is that Loki want to take over and wants Baldr out of the way so she can do that. So she manipulated Askr into forming a union with the other 8 realms so they can jointly agree to rescind the pact.

[@prismus6520]

These boss themes make me want to hear them even after you battle the boss for the first time and keep it playing throughout the map after. You know, like how boss themes keep playing in Three Houses and Engage? Heck, maybe even replace the map theme for the boss theme for the final battle of each chapter! The boss themes deserve that kind of treatment!

[@legacian4039]

Emblem Attorney: The All-Father

[@technosimplicity7528]

This sounds like it belongs in an Ace Attorney game. My personal title for this soundtrack is "Judge, Jury, and Executioner"

[@AerosTactician]

Fitting, since that's the name of Moustache Girl's castle theme in A Hat in Time, and she honestly feels like an Ace Attorney character as well.

[@marthpikazulx6516]

Ahhh quoting the Punisher from Marvel Rivals I see.

[@marthpikazulx6516]

Just kidding, I love Ace Attorney too.

[@FirlowXD]

This is such a banger

[@TheGalaxyMan99]

Whoever made the ost is the MVP 🙌👑🙌

[@jaeon0095]

Thank you! Been waiting for you to upload this

[@thescaraboom]

What smoke they took when they made this

[@effluxi9587]

Gaiden duma's theme apparently

[@ricardorunos9782]

They saw the upcoming Gundam anime and wanted to get into the modern sci-fi mecha aesthetic.

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

​​@@effluxi9587it's not Duma's theme, it's the final map theme and final boss theme for FE1/3 Book 1/11 All of Book 9's OST is remixes from 11 and/or 12 (including some songs specific to the DS versions apparently)

[@effluxi9587]

@@JacobNintendoNerd99 So it is, the FE1 Version is really obvious. Nothing like FE12's at all though...

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

@@effluxi9587 It's closer in pitch to the FE12 version, but the melody is closer to FE11's version. 11 and 12 have unique versions, the original FE3 Book 2 didn't have a final map theme so 12 made a new interpretation of the 1/3B1/11 final map theme Also, the presence of some of the instrumentation that isn't present in the Shadow Dragon (& the Blade of Light) versions call to mind the 12 version So it's somewhat a halfway point between each version

[@bravescholarlys1127]

Sounds like something out of Kirby/Pokemon!

[@LingeringWont]

Yeah, it gives me Sword and Shield vibes

[@wee3ist]

It's a remix of Duma's fight yeah?

[@effluxi9587]

So it is, good catch!

[@albsk2451]

No, it's Medeus' theme/the final map from FE1+11

[@wee3ist]

Just checked the medeus theme and duma theme, i think i am still mostly in the right. It begins at least with duma.​@albsk2451

[@Myrmiddonn]

It's a mix of both

[@ohblock3670]

I can confirm, it is entirely based on the final map of FE1: using the enemy phase theme and Medeus' battle theme; there's even a soundeffect mixed in from the Medeus fight when he transforms. Part of Duma's theme has elements of the enemy phase theme for the final FE1 map, tbc.

[@arialink3715]

It's just insane !

[@yosumarainesuable]

Wouldn't be out of place in a Rhythm game.

[@marthpikazulx6516]

I wish they would just make a real rhythm game. It worked for Final Fantasy, why not Fire Emblem?

[@JosephVictoriuos]

Ace Attorney Höðr pursuit theme

[@shuichisaihope398]

0:39 What a strange moment, like the theme gets interrupted for like a reboot/start -up sound? Wonder what that means

[@brutalnobody5240]

Sounds familiar... 🐉

[@jackfrost0331]

When one of the bosses has a rifle for a "bow" weapon... Let's dub Hodr as a Blue Gun unit.

[@CuteHimbo]

Why? We've had bottles, and a mfing bucket that was effective against dragons, yet they're counted as whatever weapon type they function as. Her gun still functions as a bow, so she's a bow unit. If every time there was a slight design deviation we made it a new weapon type that'd be extremely impractical.

[@jackfrost0331]

@@CuteHimbo Well it's just for fun that I call Hodr a Blue Gun unit. Sure it still functions as a bow, the animation just had it differently. Same case for Nidavellir when he uses a Ballista for a weapon, and its still considered a Bow unit, since a bolt is fired on top of his armor.

[@RobertJames-i8j]

aye, for phantom riders arc

[@megax-lf3bn]

Now that good music of fe

[@BRAVENEW_WORLD]

Literal dance music I love it

[@Woolymammoth-db1lt]

realms keep invading askr. how is that alphonse's fault? this was in self defence.

[@alangamer1246]

Plot Twist Odin: No Alfonse, you are not the cause of wanting to rule the kingdoms, the one who wants to destroy all the kingdoms is Kiran!! Kiran: Damn, did I reveal myself?

[@Woolymammoth-db1lt]

book1 and 6: embla first a civil war then a full on war book2 and 3: muspell (which destroyed nifl first) invaded askr and hel invaded askr (the life realm too, killed eir repeatedly and aparantly multiple dimensions of askr too) book4: the dream realm had a demographic peoblem and invaded to solve it. book5: dwarves invaded askr and we killed the prime cause in eitri (she tried to play god) book7: a spiteful god from the realm of light created the golden seer and repeats the problem over and over again (to the point gulveig has gone crazy from doing the same thing) book8: nice healers in the world tree turned into assasians cause one person killed his family and alphonse and askr got rid of the problem. they're sentient zombies but still. if anything alphonse and askr solved more problems than you have where were you asgard?

[@gokunenn4243]

This is nothing new in FE (hello, Sigurd) or even real world life at all. The summoner is still a being who exists outside of the original creation plans and who can subyugate gods from multiple worlds and has given that power to Askr. They also directly killed the embodiment of death herself which is a huge deal, and were involved on the deaths of many others like Freyr. It isn't hard to see what point Alfador is trying to make, even if it isn't fair.

[@nuibaba280]

Sigurd: "First time?"

[@nothingbasic8147]

Let’s GO!!!!!!!

[@El-jr1hh]

I could've sworn I heard these techno-sounding breaks and effects before It might be from the same library(?) of sfx like what you'd hear from some particular major battle themes in pokemon scarlet/violet

[@toureyounouss7897]

Not bad, really awesome

[@hnoyo7670]

I dub this theme: Judicial Valkyries.

[@Waiter12Hunker]

🔥🏳️‍🌈👌💀😏

[@thefuture269]

The music really peaked at Book 3, huh

[@gokunenn4243]

Book 7 says hello

[@nerothewateruser8030]

Book 6 too

[@Weissmoon]

Book 9 will have the worst soundtrack.

[@FerniCoyote]

Me when I’m less than 19 yrs old

[@Weissmoon]

@FerniCoyote You're probably under 19, that's why your writing is so bad.

[@gokunenn4243]

@Weissmoon There was literally nothing bad on their writing. And you are not helping your cause by literally arguing "no u" or apparently being able to see and hear the future to know the soundtrack of the book. It's pretty pathetic even for FE fan standards.
