Fire Emblem Heroes - Book VII Opening Theme

[@Mysterynovus]

I swear each Book's introductory song has been a straight banger, and they're not stopping anytime soon.

[@Omojuze41]

It's also very refreshing how tonally different each book's theme is. Book 2 was very generic, but when we revisited Nifl and Muspell, we got a banger piano cover, Book 3 is straight heavy metal, Book 4 is whimiscal fantasy, Book 5 is techno, Book 6 is straight up violin masterpiece, and book 7 is more orchestral.

[@Oz1455]

Book 4 was lame but Book 3 & 5 nailed it.

[@khuram789]

Too bad the books don't have any competent writing to accompany the music. EDIT: After listening to it properly I think it's pretty overrated. Not a bad piece by any means but it's just decent.

So, to everyone wondering if this theme is reversed: I tried running it backwards through editing software and cleaned it up as best as I could, and while there seems to be a somewhat palindromic *melody* (even then, not really) , the lyrics still don't seem to resemble any known language. Hope that helps.

fire emblem likes its made up language chorus, another recent one i can think of is god shattering star.

[@makon89]

The language sounds like Japanese, no?

[@vickycastillo9214]

Yeah, same. I did the same, and really, only the bridge to section B is reversed. Everything else was thought linearly. Also, although I understand that many people were suspicious of it being lyrics reversed by default. Since there’s a logic of consonant before vocal in most of the words pronounced; I suspected that probably the lyrics were just thought like a made up language. Still was worth the shot.

[@vickycastillo9214]

@@makon89 Sometimes it sounds like it, but because of the extensive use of sounds with double r, which are not common at all in Japanese and strong pronunciation in some syllables. If it is in fact Japanese, it’s kinda sus.

I think Book 7 by far has the best start of all books, between the time shenanigans having it start from chapter 13, then 5 seeming to be the more proper start point in the perspective of Alfonse. I do wonder if we'd see something like chapter 14 instead as it starts at the end with chapter 13, would also be interesting if we replay chapter 13 with the slightest differences as a deviation in the timeline and then afterwards is chapter 14>15>16. If they go that route with an extended version of this song, all would be right.

i am so glad i dug my heels into this game. it has no right being this good, it really doesn't, but each book keeps me hooked. Book 3 so far is my fave (Lif is by far a fave of mine x3) Book 4 had a really interesting plot twist. Book 5 had that moment when Kiran gets kidnapped and seeing Alfonse throw caution to the wind just shows how far he's come and Eitri's ending video was so good! Book 6 was a perfect end to the conflict that had been stewing since book 1. Book 7 instantly starts us off with an honestly unsettling opening theme and video, and Seiðr commenting that somehow, Kiran is familiar to her and thats why she shares the vision with them. i'm in it for the long haul lessgo! Also if they did a Sharena and Alfonse dlc for Engage, i would buy that in a heartbeat. this game needs more recognition!

goodbye Book VII, the child line kinda ruined your reputation with the fanbase lol

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

This whole Book ruined the reputation with the fanbase, personally. Two major plotholes were never resolved: 1) What was the point of Seidr asking you to make a baby with her? It served no purpose to the story; people said that was supposed to be Heidr, but the Summoner never officially agreed to doing so, and Heidr wasn't born from the light of Vanaheimr like Seidr said the baby would be. 2) Why doesn't Seidr remember ANY of her time as Kvasir? They poke fun at that plothole at the end but they left it unanswered and it felt like really lazy writing to do so. I'm hoping the next book will be better. Book 3 was probably the coolest book in FEH so far, and so intertwined into the FEH characters.

[@stellarstar6553]

What honestly ruined this book a lot for me was the entire plot that played out with Njordr and Heidr before her death. The book greatly degraded in quality from that point on. Nerthuz being able to conjure up a makeshift solution with NO explanation of why she can was also a massive "??????????" plot point. Really all of my gripes with this book happen after they confront Njordr. It's when Gullveig gets 'born', Heidr dies and the whole cycle plot goes to die on a hill because Nerthuz could just... undo it. If they just kept the plot the way it was up until after we meet Kvasir and just change the story from there, it'd have potential to be great.

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

@@stellarstar6553 Njordr was such a wasted potential for a good villain. He had good motivations ("Humankind is too powerful, the gods continue to die by mortal hands, etc" which also side note, if he had mentioned Freyr and Freyja by name and how they were slain by human hands, would have boosted the story 75%) but the moment he FULLY reveals himself, he just gets decimated. Also Nerthuz is a horrible person too, she clearly knew just how twisted her brother's plans were but she plays vague the whole time without trying to warn the Askr trio just WHY Njordr wasn't to be trusted. Although to be fair with her "magical plot-resolving solution", it's implied it was only a power boost in previous cycles and that wasn't enough to stop Gullveig, so the already powered Breidablik that Kvasir gives you gets an even bigger buff. This book was super convoluted... And to make matters worse they had TIME TRAVEL in this book and didn't do anything interesting with it. No adult/baby Askr Trio, no child Freyr/Freyja, etc.
