[@Beenevolence]

Timestamp for Words to Believe in is wrong. Just letting you know.

[@SiegmundXD7]

the really rad thing about the rain/thunder tracks is that 3H, as a turn-based game, has your map and combat sequences dynamically switch between the two. so with wrath strike you have these driving strings/brass as you’re positioning units that fade to percussion and suspense as you’re actually fighting

[@danielbensch1663]

Not just in 3H, it's also done in multiple modern Fire Emblem games. I especially like the way Fire Emblem Warrior did it with the instruments and the music pace changing depending if you are on the open field, inside a base, have your special bar activated or are in the pause menu.

[@ATXnomad698]

His face will be all over the place once Shambhala comes up, I just know it🤣.

[@NuiYabuko]

I think that might become a peak reaction. lol Shambhala gains in context of the whole soundtrack, because hearing it unaware of what FE is and sounds like is one thing, but going from the rest of the soundtrack to that? It's definitely an experience. lol

[@perthfarr7383]

God shattering star, too, no doubt

@@perthfarr7383 Speaking of God Shattering Star, I completely missed that melody being quoted in the opening cutscene and was floored when hearing it on the stream. I hope Dan gets extra hyped for it

[@jorgegracia5031]

Amazing prediction 👀😂

[@TrueNoirChloeMoko]

Here's something I always love: the parallels between Blue Skies and A Battle and Between Heaven and Earth. It's, obvious for anyone who played, that it's events of that fight twisted on their head from just a competition between 3 classes to a full rage 3-way war that's been brewing for 5 years. And seeing the switch, growth, and, more importantly, the full trauma and stress these students have all went through in the between the first time seeing them in this area, and them all there 5 years later having been forced into a full war. I just can't listen to 1 without needing to listen to the other.

[@ensislucis2395]

First Persona, then Xenoblade 1 and 2, and now Fire Emblem Three Houses. Thank you so much for reacting to all of amazing soundtracks!

[@HollowGolem]

1:02:50 Christ, it's amazing how well he got Thales' manipulation of Edelgard. "Tells you half the truth, and then a lie" indeed.

[@J2ojuiced95]

Three Houses OST is fantastic. It’s one of the best examples of an OST, where the composers created many unique sounding tracks out of a small handful of motifs.

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

wrong, is the music being different in all the routes. Chasing daybreak is present in ALL the routes, and is overplayed as well. Sure people prefer to call it the blue lions theme but it isn't. It's present in all the 4 time skip routes because they were lazy to make different ones. The long road is also present in all the 4 routes. And the use of perspective is done in hundreds of genres. Three houses uses "reach for my hand" over and ove ragain, using different small pieces of it in every song is not unique nor amazing, it's basic even tho I get the message that the whole story is inside the edge of dawn song. But again, all the songs (minus the final map song) are the same in all the routes in the time skip. The soundtrack si quite lazy and lacks power at times. Even that sad song that play more during dimitri's deppresion is present IN ALL THE ROUTES. And no, it's not dimitri's theme just cuz it plays more to him or that you like to assing it to him. It would have been cool if that one was his theme but it isn't, it's basically "the sad theme that plays when a sad moment happens". Also if you are gonna use the excuse as "but shambala theme is only in two routes", yeah because shambala map is only present in 2 routes *which I am shocked cuz three houses reuses the same garbage maps all the time". If shambala map was in CF or AM it would be the same song. You know what game does the difference of songs in different routes the best? Fates. Listen to the preparations map theme in conquest and then in birthright, the same song but with different instruments and tunes in between, three houses doesn't do that

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

the instruments are not that unique, it sounds similar to many other orchestral songs, sometimes it sounds techno and dupstep which imo ruins the song. It lack a powerful feeling and even the emotional songs are not that great with the exception of funeral of flower. Apex of the world is just a very basic and lifeless final map theme that is basically the main theme. There are genres that use unique types of sounds and combines them well like terraria, but three houses doesn't.

[@alineSann]

@@mihaimercenarul7467 damn bro did the three houses ost kill ur family or smth

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

worse, it put me to sleep.@@alineSann

[@Quinnsula5]

This is still one of if not my favourite ost of all time, just means a lot to me. Also the fact it got no nominations or awards for its ost is a shame, as this ost is one of the most unique sounding ost that combines a ton of different genres and style to a fantasy game

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

calm down, the ost is overrated and quite mediocre

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

also unique? cuz it has dupstep? kiddo wake up

[@Quinnsula5]

@mihaimercenarul7467 It's not unique because it has dubstep. It's do the the compositions that take inspiration from different genres and styles. Sure there is a dubstep track but there's are other track that's also use the electronic elements but blend them in such a unique waym the best part of the ost that I forgot to mention is the use of perspective in the music as a lot of the tracks take the same chords/ progression but reworks it in different context for the different routes and all. Like it's really impressive on its own plus you have the 2 different takes on the same track something very few games do. I will admit my comment is not as well conducted as I should have made it. Also I'm a massive music fan and a bit of buff so I know what I'm talking about.

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

and the two takes of the soundtrack is done in all the modern fire emblem games, and three houses has only one song where the two phases sound quite different in tone and that is again, funeral of flower where the thunder version is actually sad and slow. Meanwhile all the other songs 2 phases are slow/battle style. @@Quinnsula5

[@atomicbaconbits6695]

Nice to hear this. This soundtrack has a lot of amazing songs on it.

[@BHox01]

The Main Theme is one of my favorite tracks in the series. It goes through all the main genres/styles the OST features in one track while also showcasing the series' theme and the game's main leitmotif that shows up repeatedly. One of the coolest tracks to listen to

[@TainoMoya]

Before 3 houses I only knew Fe from smash bros But going into 3 houses and playing it I absolutely love it. What a great experience. 3 hopes was fun and I'm looking forward to engage. 3 houses OST is beautiful i love the main theme

[@EitherProductions]

Smash Bros. was my introduction to Fire Emblem as well, my first game being FE Awakening.

[@ghostf6321]

I'm just now playing 3 houses. The game is totally awesome and I'm addicted, looking forward to engage but I'm probably not going to touch it until I go through all the major routes in 3 houses.

[@adriahrin3284]

@@ghostf6321 i reccomend you to rest a bit of three houses after doing one or two routes of the game, since playing that game can feel repetitive because the first half of the game is almost the same in all the routes

[@untyprandom9740]

Same as you, I discovered the series with 3H, it became my favourite game on the switch. Now I'd say I have 4 top 1s: Fe3H, MK8deluxe, Smash Ultimate and DQ11 (also my true introduction of the DQ series). I played Fates (Conquest), Awekening, both Warriors and I started PoR. Also I need to finish my no NG+ Lunatic run

[@Cyrus_Bright]

Smash Bros was mine as well with Melee back on the Gamecube. Marth and Roy were fun to play as and reading their trophy descriptions interested me greatly. When I read the *Japan Only* at the bottom I felt sad, then fast forward some years later to me walking into a Blockbuster/Game store combo and I saw Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn for the Wii and bought it instantly. The Fire Emblem journey from there was a great one indeed.

[@Professor_Wisteria_]

Fire Emblem always has amazing OSTs, but 3H definitely captured my heart my first time playing. and when you get to know more about Edie, Dmitri and Claude, a lot of the songs take on a whole new meaning and it's AWESOME

[@cigeater5740]

The Spirit Dais chant is in japanese, actually. Telling of a hope for the second coming of Sothis.

[@VaIentineUK]

It's not. The Japanese lyrics are provided with the OST, but the actual lyrics to the chant, like God-Shattering Star, are in a made up language.

[@phntmthf5505]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Fire Emblem: Awakening , and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia have possibly my favorite soundtracks of the whole series. I especially like Id (Purpose), Twilight of the Gods, and God Shattering Star.

Hey i was wondering if you could react to the Dwarf Fortess steam edition soundtrack. It is such a good soundtrack, it fits the game perfectly, and it does many things other soundtracks don't, I think you would enjoy that sweet guitar too. Its chill music to starve/freeze to death to while sealed off in a flooding cave.

Really hoping you're able to get around to FE Shadow of Valencia's OST.

[@sakutaro3musik486]

btw since many people don´t get rhea, she is a grey character, but the developer themself don´t call her an Antagonist, infact she is an antihero. Meanwhile edelgard who many casual play like is the Antagonist as the devs state. Just wanted to clear that up because I can´t believe that people still 4 years after release think that Edelgard is the good one in the story and rhea the evil one and it is even more clear if you played 3 hopes

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

rhea is one of the worst written characters in the second half. In the time skip in blue lions rhea barely is mentioned, in verdandt wind she is an exposition bot and in crimson flower she is an angry karen who screams "GIVE ME BACK MY MOTHER!" What a wasted character who isn't even playable

[@cheesecheese6459]

YES I LOVE THIS GAME

[@joshuanapier4632]

got to the end and I have a couple questions about the bonus songs. 1: what is the context of the first bonus song? Like, is it a fan remix, official remix by same composer, official remix by different composer? 2. I assume 3hopes would of had a different development team since it's a different genre of game (real time tactical instead of turn based tactical) but are the composers the same? 3. Unrelated, but where do I go to suggest a soundtrack? There is one I have in mind but am wondering if there is a proper place to suggest it.
