The second they said that I thought, "This is gonna hurt." I didn't know just how right I was. Not only was their story painful, but there was everyone else, each suffering in their own way. Clive, loosing his best friend, Fernand, willing to do anything to follow his ideals only to realise that he was wrong as he was dying in the arms of the friend he'd betrayed, Rinea, the innocent woman killed because she trusted too much, the Divine Dragons, loosing first eachother, then themselves, Berkut, loosing everything, his ideals, his future, his love, his life, and even himself, because his whole story had been a lie. And the end, leaving us with the reminder that evil will always return to destroy us. This entire game was beyond sad. I don't even know how many times I cried playing it.
The SoV was what I believe to be the great transition period from the revival games of Fates and Awakening, to the deep, narrative driven games that Fire Emblem could produce. From voice acting, a real story, and new mechanics, SoV stepped up the franchise in many ways.
Yeah, I thought Three Houses introduced many mechanics but it was actually SoV that introduced Combat Arts, the new magic mechanic and moving around as a character (although this was in dungeons only for SoV.) It really did step up the franchise and I love this game so much.
@@furfousir1420 Nobody called it the pinnacle of storytelling, the OP merely mentioned it was deep and narrative driven. Also no way the story in Echoes is worse than Fates, Echoes at least feel like the writers put in some effort to create a consistent plot unlike the convoluted mess of Fates.
I remember starting this game and getting hit immediately by this opening theme with all those cutscenes. That truly is an amazing way to begin this game and this story.
I'm so sad that this game went under a lot of people's radar, due to it releasing on the dying end of the 3DS lifespan, it deserves much more recognition. Like you said words aren't enough to describe how gorgeous this game really is, everything from its art style, fantastic music, and even beautiful story and emotional beats it carries/builds off of the original game. This game took me on an emotional ride, and I'm glad to have been introduced to the FE series in time for this masterpiece
I love SoV music; I still consider its music to be better than fe3h. It reminds me of the same level of orchestration as the zelda series. Thank you for your hard work! ♡
Can I just say that this is so far my favorite Fire Emblem game? The characters and story was just so good and well illustrated it's just a phenomenal experience. You controlling both units on the map is also very neat.
@@ninjagamergirl196 Can't blame you for being a fan of Echoes, the game is fantastic from start to finish. I'm probably in the minority of saying I really liked Fates too, despite it being pretty easy.
Khada Jhin don't get me wrong, i love fates. Its just that it's too much fan service that it's ruining it for me to actually like like it . I mean i like three houses too, but it's kinda overrated. :/ idk. (Yes my biased is coming out) but i love my fire emblem games. I'm glad i found it and I'm glad Awakening revived it. Awakening is probably my 2nd fav
@@ninjagamergirl196 You're right, the fanservice was too much in Fates, even though I liked the children characters you unlocked after you got a couple to S+. Fates: Conquest was the first FE I played and it was painfully difficult on permadeath. After I finished Conquest I got Birthright and Revelations and they were, compared to Conquest, a walk in the park. 😅
Khada Jhin Awakening was the first game I played. After smash bros announced some more fe characters, i got into the franchise. I like swords as well which made me love the medieval aspect of Fe. I only found out about Echoes like last year, then i got the game 4 months ago. Tbh i didn't finish playing fates (because of fanservice) although i spoiled myself for those the game. Echoes stood out to me the most considering its a remake of Gaiden. I wanted to know what past games were like. Awakening will always be close to heart because it brought back the series. But Echoes would be one. With fates and the houses clashing for 3rd
While Three Houses is amazing, SoV will still remain my most favorite FE game. It's overall just gorgeous, even if the setting is simple. I love the designs of the characters (bless this artist) and the soundtrack is godlike. Just listening to this really makes me miss playing that game.
The presentation (art style, music, and arguably voice acting) are just better in SoV imo. I was really disappointed they went away from this art style in 3H. 3H is much better game play wise (talking actual battles), but just about everything else is better in SoV.
This games theme, music, and story is so emotional and I love it. Probably one of the most emotional fire emblem games I’ve played. This game is beautiful and is tied with FE3H for the best FE game. Absolutely adore this game and great remix vetrom. ❤️
I can't explain why, but this game is and always will be my favorite game of all time. Its so unique and refreshing to play something that made you feel happy and sad, crushed and hopeful at the same time. The story is unrivaled, and the art style and music are timeless. No other fire emblem game comes close to this, and i don't think any will ever achieve what this game did.
Probably my favorite story in the franchise! The presentation was top notch. Only thing that needed work was the gameplay. It’s unfortunate how underrated this game is. Thanks for this remix!!
I love how alms sword is raised, symbolizing war and conflict, rising to the challenge, with the symbol of faith behind him, her eyes closed as she desperately clings to her hope that it all is a lie. Celica is also alma past, showing that alm has put who he was away for the greater good, having lost faith in a peaceful resolution, and later on losing faith that things can ever be normal again, this loss of faith is also why alms eyes are open, since he sees it all for what it clearly is. Celica's eyes is closed because she is cling to a hope that is no longer possible, and a faith that will not serve her, she is devoted to her cause, but it is nonetheless a vain one because Mila is gone and Duma has gone mad. She is also blind to their mistakes, her faith idolizing Mila as a perfect goddess and not the flawed dragon she actually is. Alm rises to the challenge accepting responsibilities he would not be expected to carry out where as Celica runs, chasing after a god who will solve her problems. Their duality brilliant brings the theme of it all together. Faith must work hand in hand with reality, never misplace it, and always make sure to take control of your destiny. I would argue that besides three houses it has the strongest narrative, it has the most realistic characters for its setting, which have excellent voice acting that I would dare say is better than 3 houses, and its presentation is easily one of the best in all of fire emblem, with its overworld and character designs giving the most unique impression I have felt in the franchise. While map design is lacking, and its combat doesnt help, further compounded by a lack of difficulty (due to combat being badly balanced), it still manages to remain a solid gameplay experience, and is far from the worst, with its narrative and characters doing a lot of heavy lifting, which is problematic since most FE fans dont focus on those elements as much as the gameplay, meaning it could only do so much. I would reccomend this game hands down, have not seen a fire emblem as intriguing as this one, and I love it for it.
I remember this being my 2nd Fire Emblem game. My first was Fates, and I thought that game was sort of pretty good, but it lacked a bit. So my expectations for Echoes were understandably low. Then I play like 1h of it and think, "holy shit, this blows Fates out of the water!" A beautiful game in every aspect, it alone legit carried me through a very dark time in my life when nobody was there to help. I'll never forget it.
Shadows of Valentia was so great and I personally think it's an improvement from Fates and Three Houses because the story isn't branched. I wish they could make more games like this one.
This is so sick! The mix of different tracks like the Fire Emblem theme gives it this war rally song feeling (also a bit of Nier vibes). It's nice to see love and passion for this game even today. Now I wanna play the game again lol
Wow, a Fire Emblem cover artist who does more than just the GBA games! Don't get me wrong, I love the GBA games, but other games have fantastic soundtracks too! I've listened to a few of these FE covers and I really love them, they're my new favorite thing to listen to!! I've been waiting for a cover of Dark Emperor Hardin for YEARS now, and since Vetrom actually enjoys Archanea series one might actually happen at some point!
This was the first Fire Emblem game I played, it's my favorite game, the story, the characters, the music, I love everything. The first time I finished it, it's something I'll never forget. Good remix.
Oh my, those shivers just by listening to this song, reminds me of the time I played this game, it's my favorite FE game, thanks for this amazing cover.
This is the first time that I have heard this song, and I'm already hooked onto it, despite never actually playing the game. Wonderful cover! You've got to tell me what software you used to create so many awesome remixes!
If I had to rank the 3DS FEs I'd say: Echoes>Awakening>Conquest>Revalations>BIrthright. Don't get me wrong I still liked Fates, but overall it was just a good strategy game that failed with Atmosphere,Story,Character Presentation, lore, and especially world building,. In a way, Fates (Conquest specially) was everything Echoes wasn't; it had great gameplay but the presentation was so,so, soooooo unbelievably bad. In Echoes, I cared about the characters because they all had personalities, they had families they want to return to, dreams and goals they want to accomplish, they had lives of their own and it helped that the voice acting gave them so much more personality (not to mention the lore and overall feel of the world was AMAZING). Conquest on the other hand challenges players through its gameplay but sadly, the game was one big blur to me; I don't remember the order of the chapters but I remember the maps overall. I remember the characters portraits in Conquest but I never cared for them. They were just units who I checked and vouched their statistical skill growths, the world wasnt amazing and after midway of the game I pretty much skipped the story overall. I didn't care for supports and I only paired characters who I thought were good parents for a child unit. And while the game had decent supports, I didn't care enough for their characters to actually be moved by characters People can groan over Echoes bad maps but it wasn't even a quarter as bad as Fates overall worldbuilding,story, characters, and presentation was. Besides, I thought some part of Echoes presented something of a challenge: e.g: If you want to get the Dracoshield from Desaix, Berkut's final map, Grieth's map was somewhat a challenge, etc.. One more thing about Fates was I keep forgetting the song titles like really, Awakening had RIDICULOUS (like "Agh won goph in mah mouph") song titles but I somehow remember them all more than Fates which had pretty generic song titles. Nevertheless the 3ds generation were solid entries but I happen to think Echoes is just the better and it paved way to Three Houses which was just so good. It's such a shame though, Echoes could've made the dungeon maps hard so it presented a challenge and still be faithful to the original Gaiden but meh, it turned out well mainly
Awesome cover ! Echoes is such an underrated game, I wish it had an HD port to the switch Hey man, do you think you could do a remix of "Awakening" from FE3H ? That music really slaps
This is one of the best FEs. The music is amazing and you can feel the pain of the characters. Gaiden was so boring, and I can't believe that this is its son
This so far has been my favourite fire emblem. While Fire Emblem three houses is by far superior with a much more open ended story, improved gameplay and (arguably) better or equal soundtrack, I just felt like even though SoV was a remake, it has more power in it for actually making me look at the fire emblem series and going "You know, maybe fire emblem won't be dumbed down like fates was." Screw that level with the earth quake stuff though. That was bull.
I have never been a fan of the FE games themselves - my brain isn’t big enough to process all the numbers and keep track of what’s happening lol - but I’ve always appreciated the music. This remix is fantastic!
Man the last chapter of this game really pissed me but still felt like it was my fault Definitely top three FE Radiant dawn and Sacred stones are there too

"Let's promise we'll never end up like that, okay?"
Five minutes later:
Ik so sad "nothing with ever come between us"
10 years later: ...Falchion...
The second they said that I thought, "This is gonna hurt." I didn't know just how right I was. Not only was their story painful, but there was everyone else, each suffering in their own way. Clive, loosing his best friend, Fernand, willing to do anything to follow his ideals only to realise that he was wrong as he was dying in the arms of the friend he'd betrayed, Rinea, the innocent woman killed because she trusted too much, the Divine Dragons, loosing first eachother, then themselves, Berkut, loosing everything, his ideals, his future, his love, his life, and even himself, because his whole story had been a lie. And the end, leaving us with the reminder that evil will always return to destroy us. This entire game was beyond sad. I don't even know how many times I cried playing it.

@@furfousir1420 How? At least SoV didn't feel like the plot was written in 12 minutes with a shit load of questions left unanswered
@@hyperm8 heck, SOV's story is decades old (since its a remake of gaiden) yet its story is still that good

The game's opening was actually really beautiful, hearing not sound of war like in Fates, but rather when times were better, Alm and Celica were young
I remember hearing this song when I got an ad for this game on RUclips. I went out and bought the game the same day.
This games theme, music, and story is so emotional and I love it. Probably one of the most emotional fire emblem games I’ve played. This game is beautiful and is tied with FE3H for the best FE game. Absolutely adore this game and great remix vetrom. ❤️
Holy shit the chills at 3:04. This is an incredible remix for an incredible game. Amazing job Vetrom.

Every time I see the opening cutscene and here this song, it makes me so emotional. This game is an absolute masterpiece and this remix is so amazing

Can't believe this game is almost 3 years old.
Times flies aye
Never realized that, Celica is praying whilest alm is taking up the sword. Both things were nessary to save Valentina.
i think that echoes is by far one of the best fire emblem
thank you for remixing omen, great music
God I love hearing Twilight of the Gods throughout this song! A main reason why this theme is great in the first place. Another awesome remix from you
Wow, what a coincidence that I just started playing this game a few days back, and now there's a Vetrom remix for it. Amazing remix, love this theme!
This was by far my favorite Fire Emblem experience on the 3DS. It makes me so sad when people hate on it or ignore it.

Pretty good except I don't exactly prefer the emphasis on the percussion compared to the vocals.

It’s not omen, it’s AMENO.
