I Adore Fire Emblem Engage.

[@pokemonmaster1505]

The vocal version of Emblem Engage is even more anime, sounding almost like a 4kids dub opening

[@Missiletainn]

:[ Didn't listen to the lyrical version of Emblem Engage

[@adamkampen]

The name Falling Petals sounds like the song would be calmer to capture the mood of beautifully changing seasons but instead it sounds like the petals are falling because the flora they belong to has been trampled and destroyed in a great conflict, destruction where there once was beauty. I love song names sometimes they can be so good

[@miguelgarciabegines4134]

I dont know if you played the game but you nailed it! In that part we return to the Kingdom, which is full of flowers, beautiful plains and forest, only to see the cita we end up fighting burnt and destroyed

[@mrkisukes]

The composers they have for the modern FE games do a beautiful job of merging contemporary elements with classical elements. They play around so much with the motifs of so many genres and cultures.

[@generalsour]

i weep that you didn’t get to hear the normal map themes for Bloom in the Breeze and Bright Sandstorm, they’re way better imo and where the Engage instrumentation really shines. I’ll let those map themes play all day and forget to actually play the game 😭 great video as always

[@adamkampen]

I love the wind and string instrument in Bloom in the Breeze so much

[@dangerousshoes]

Honestly me with Fates where I'd load up a map and just BLAST Dark Wastes without actually playing the game

[@adamkampen]

I sat an listened to A Dark Fall for minuted at a time in Conquest late game. And had My Castle music set to Dusk Falls and would just leave my 3DS open to hear it

[@azulesmalls5514]

All of the tracks with "Trial" are all remixes of various tracks from the game the specific "Emblem" (Fire Emblem protagonist from the past). Trial of Emblem is Marth with the song referencing Trouble, Together We Ride, and a bunch of other tracks.

[@e17theconsumer]

in case you ever revisit this game, definitely check out “good morning divine one”. it’s one of the series’ most beautiful songs hands down

[@adamkampen]

I love the somniel themes so much they're so cozy

[@emmiccino528]

Bright, Bold Sandstorm and other battle themes have two versions of them: One quieter one while you look at the overhead view to get a lay of the land, a much more intense one with the subtext "Fiery" when you're watching the actual combat. It's the same track, just hyped up and more intense. It almost feels like the Fiery version is the normal track, while the non-Fiery one is you partially drowning out the sounds of battle to concentrate and strategize

[@sasaki0aran]

Glad you like them, fun fact a lot of the themes have both a Calm and Fiery version which switches out between the map and combat, if you ever have the time do listen to Bright Sandstorm in Fiery version, an absolute beat!

[@SaintMarianne]

People were calling this game's OST mid when it came out and I always thought that was insane tbh. This shit slaps harder than my dad

[@lightv700]

Most of the ost are mid, but the few good ones are amazing.

[@Waiter12Hunker]

The OST is extremely "unique". It depends on how sharp your ears are.

[@Algebruh2407]

The ost is a mixed bag imo. Though I think that what lead people to calling it mid was that it doesn't really feel like a Fire Emblem ost and feels more like an anime.

[@CyNaCl]

Hol'up

[@azurill_sun]

As an older FE fan I love the Trial themes. When they hit right like Trial of Emblems did for the first game's tracks, it really just brings me back to memories of playing through the older games and all the fun I've had going through them. Also helps that the maps these play in are specifically remakes of significant levels from those older titles

[@zerosparkz6958]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF CENTURIES THAT YOU FINALLY LISTENED TO ENGAGE MUSIC IM SO GLAD IT FINALLY HAPPENED😭 I highly urge to please do a part 2 video

[@darkstalker696]

You should definitely listen to the trial themes imo they are the best tracks in engage both map and battle.

[@bytex1933]

I feel sad that you didn't get to hear "Royal Confidence (Might)" one of my favorites in all of Engage. Also, you should definitely listen to more songs from both Engage and Three Houses, you have missed so many amazing songs that I would like you to hear. Also, another series that really deserves more reactions is Xenoblade, I honestly don't think there is a single not great song in these games, amazing soundtrack. Would love to see you react to more of those

[@Rene99999]

I can't wait for one day when we get a path of radiance/radiant dawn episode.... the music in those are my favorite of any fire emblem

[@pafunciobatista8244]

Engage! Really fun game with a very hit or miss story, OST however still bangs as its tradition for fire emblem

[@Zyaire286]

The music of Engage are great! My personal favorite is broken bond, Royal Confidence, and Trial of the Holy Knight.

[@TheCayDawg]

Bright Bold Sandstorm my beloved! Also, all of these minus Emblem Engage are map themes and each one has a "Battle" variation that's more intense with faster pacing and dynamic instrumentation. You actually listened to the battle version of Bloom in the Breeze which is "Blossom". Bright Bold Sandstorm has "Fiery" and Tear Streaked has "Ice". It's also worth mentioning that there are different versions of Bloom and Sandstorm that play early in the game and later in the game. - Bloom in the Breeze -> Full Bloom in the Breeze - Bright Sandstorm -> Bright Bold Sandstorm Each with intense battle versions.

[@NathanLouie]

An interesting note about Fire Emblem Engage is that it’s an anniversary game, which means that while it has its own original story, characters, levels, and songs, there are tons of references to all the other games in the series, which of course means amazing remixes of past songs. The songs you listened to were fully original, but there are soooo many other great songs because of this! (There are also a good amount of original songs you didn’t get to in this video, but that’s expected.) Unfortunately you’d miss out on a bit of context listening to these remixes but they’re still great to listen to as standalone songs. If you’d ever want to go back to this game there’s a lot to go back to, and it doesn’t disappoint! Edit: I didn’t finish the video before posting this but Trial of Emblems is one of these remixes, referencing the very first Fire Emblem game.

[@mrkisukes]

Excluding the first and last songs in this video, the order you listened to them in indicates the tonal flow of the game's story. Bloom in the Breeze is an early game song before the steaks go up in the story. Tear Streaked plays during a pivotal moment right before crap gets real at the end of the first act. Bright, Bold Sandstorm places shortly after during part of the story when our heroes are gaining their second wind. Falling Petals, similar to Tear Streaked, plays during a pivotal moment at the end of the second act. And for reference, if you see a song beginning with "Trials of..." in this game, that song is a medley of another FE game. You see, FE Engage is an anniversary celebration and contains characters and themes from all previous FE games and has side quest levels you can play which is where these "Trials of..." songs play.

[@Idk-qu4si]

There is an ost you should listen to that was made by one person that was for a whole mod of a game that is has a great community

[@thoet7270]

"This sounds like victory. This sounds like a fight youve already won" Trust me when I say that this is FAR beyond the truth. The map Trial of Emblems plays one on the hardest difficulty is very, very long, with defeat around the corner. Though the music gives you enough confidence to push through

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, if I am remembering correctly, there were some reservations for this Title in particular, i wonder if that extends to the Music? Regardless, personally I think this is a very well Soundtrack. Speaking of Soundtracks, how about doing Trails’ Soundtrack at some point, or Metaphor’s, would be interesting.

[@ThomasTomasch]

Does anyone else think she should react to Baal Zebul's opera cutscene from Bayonetta 3?

[@FElord-dw1sy]

So Fire Emblem is a turn based strategy game where you move your units around maps and complete objectives. A big thing is every unit is a unique character with classes, skills, and strengths/weaknesses, as well as their own personality and support (akin to bond or friendship) dialogue. While there is a casual mode where units don't die when defeated, the series started off with permadeath for most of the entries. Engage is an series celebration title, with there being returning characters in the form of Emblems that reside in rings, who grant characters special powers when equipped, and they Engage with the character (hence the games title) to basically temporarily fuse with the Emblem. Emblem Engage is the games opening theme, though the version here is the instrumental version played in some cutscenes and not the vocal version that is the actual opening. Some tracks here like Bright, Bold Sandstorm are map themes, that have a battle version that plays during battles, usually following the scheme of Song Title (version), which also was true in Awakening, Fates, and Three Houses. I particularly like Bright, Bold Sandstorm (Fiery) and most of the Trial of X themes, like Trial of Awakening (Ablaze), Trial of Radiance (Fight On), Trial of the Academy (Teach Us), and Trial of Fate (Bare Your Fangs).

[@adamkampen]

Aw yes Engage! This game has so many good orignal songs, and some fun remixes too. In my top 3 favorites soundtracks in the series (Awakening, Fates, Engage) (Sorry SoV)

[@c5nolimit816]

New to the channel, have you been recommended the OG Ratchet & Clank soundtrack? Composer David Bergeaud's fusion of Jazz, Funk, EDM and Hip Hop, as well as a diverse use of tri-notes makes for an awesome listen Love the videos, keep it up!

[@Takeshi_D_Ryu138]

Brigth Sand Strom Fiery It's the best song of Engage

[@lightningevo5429]

all the versions of map theme you listened to seems to be the battle versions

[@kevin13cabello]

Just Tear Streaked (Ice) and Bloom in the Breeze (Bloosom) were battle versions.

[@shadowdragun]

@@kevin13cabello Yeah the battle version of bright bold sandstorm is much more high energy

[@byleth9565]

If you liked Trial of Emblems, I would recommend the combat version (Shine On) it plus the other Emblems

[@lulute8]

You should react to the themes of Granblue fantasy, my personal pick would be Zero Lucilius theme

[@adamkampen]

Yes, Engage is super vibrant with its designs! They actually got Mika Pikazo to direct and make a lot of the art, as a new artist to the series it's a really fresh look! The gameplay looks very nice as well, a big step up from the low res of 3DS games and the gritty dynasty warriors look of Three Houses. Huge step up in combat animation quality too, fast and flashy making it never get boring

[@johnnypetronel]

Next time you listen to this game, I highly recommend Determined Journey and the world map theme, whose name I can't really remember.

[@Terensworth]

Regarding Falling Petals. Think of it this way; When you start a typical JRPG or video game in general, you always expect the first levels to be very grassy, fun, bright, welcoming, that sort of thing, right? Well okay, now picture you return there midway through the game, but now everything's on fire, there are awful twists all over the place and everyone is dead. That's Falling Petals.

[@RuzPav]

I think you would really enjoy Guilty Gear Strive's OST :)

[@Senji75]

have you considered listening to Destiny 2 music? Michael Salvatori composed most of the early songs of the game after he did halo.

[@gg_sam7847]

Oh man no Four Hounds (Frenzy)? Before I posted I checked to see if I got the name right and I did... but it seems to have been removed from KZbin :/

[@gg_sam7847]

The loop is only like 90 seconds long and there's extended versions around so there's that at least

[@sblegado2907]

You should listen STARFIELD soundtracks 👍, you will love it. Into the Starfield, Fleet Scum, First Fligh, New Atlantis and The Safety of the Citizens are the best songs.

[@Three-ke4dh]

Everyone, laugh at her.

[@Sneaky_Papaj_Bobux_Generator]

PLEASE I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T REACT TO FINALE FROM UNDERTALE BUT DO IT RIGHT NOW

[@eepster7871]

You should listen to the Ghost of Tsushima soundtrack!

[@lightningevo5429]

also yeah, its heavily anime. maybe to anime but yeah.

[@geraldthegoose1685]

Honestly I think it boils down to the more vibrant art style because personally I think 3 houses is more anime leaning

[@Charmandu]

I actually finished this game last week. This game(while not three houses good) was surprisingly better than what I expected. People said that they didn't really like this game but I enjoyed it a lot. The music was definitely one of the best parts of the game.

[@Cursed394]

[@mvppro4287]

Could you react to Ultimate Chicken Horse OST?

[@Squishy-Balls]

Day 24 of asking for a Mario & Luigi Dream Team ost reaction

[@grammy_hnng]

the gameplay and music is the only thing endearing me to engage, and only because both slap SO hard

[@nofx7058]

cant wait ds3

[@brandonkirk6498]

so Fire Emblem Engage was meant to be the 30th anniversary game as a celebration for the series but it got delayed due to Covid

[@lightningevo5429]

yoooo fire emblem engage! my least favorite emblem game

[@fe_three_rosses]

you have no whimsy

[@geraldthegoose1685]

Naw fr but I won't lie playing this game on maddening classic has got to be the most fun I had in a good minute, plus the music be slapping

[@kevin13cabello]

​@geraldthegoose1685 Didn't have a great story but maddening classic was such a blast to play through. I really couldn't get enough. Sad the game wasn't that long but gameplay wise it was very enjoyable and I agree the music was also great as well.

[@grammy_hnng]

fr i really spent half the time wishing people would shut up and turn the saturation down, but god damnit if i wasnt Louis gaming

[@destinydivided8689]

Wish the story was better

[@ashton5061]

I really dislike the game as a game. Too "anime" for my tastes, but the soundtrack does go hard I can't deny that.

[@destinydivided8689]

The reason I hate this game isn't because of visuals, but because of plot holes and the worst plot twist: 13th emblem; that left a glaring plot hole

[@skeletonwar4445]

​@@destinydivided8689 How is it a plothole lmao

[@starkillahx]

If anything prior games felt more anime like, I'd say this is moreso children's cartoon, which I dont dislike

[@destinydivided8689]

@skeletonwar4445 They hyped Lumera to be the 13th emblem. But oh no, they had to make someone else the 13th emblem for the rule of cool. Not to mention the game treated death like a joke.

[@starkillahx]

@@destinydivided8689 they didnt exactly hype it at all, they made the suggestion and decided not to
