Someone pointed out that the new oc designs are inspired by nurses or health professionals, given that the new characters are part of The Healing Hands. Níðhöggr's snake is like a stethoscope Hræsvelgr is like a surgical tool (Scalpel?) Unnamed Female OC has bandages all over her Unnamed Male OC has a medical mask
It's even more clear when you take another look at their attire Ratatoskr is dressed as a nurse (initially thought she was dressed as a maid) Hræsvelgr wears Loupes (surgical telescope) on her head NÍdhöggr literally wears doctor gown right there!
Those other OCs in the title art for book 8 are most likely Eikþyrnir/Eikthyrnir (the male oc) and Heiðrún/Heidrun (the blue/lavender female oc), who are sacred animals in Norse mythology, being a stag and a goat respectively. In mythology the two stand atop Valhalla and Heidrun provides mead for the heroes/einherjar of Valhalla; considering that the female OC is carrying a drinking horn - which the norse cultures would typically use for drinking mead and such - that may be a reference to her role in mythology.
What about the theory of the female character potentially being Heimdallr, though, being the one to guard the gate between Yggdrassil and Asgard? Considering both the horn and her unique eyes (shining magic eyes) it could lean that way.
@@leskthedesk9334 or the fact that horn may indeed be the Gjallarhorn, the horn that signaled the start of Ragnarok in Norse mythology, and is the horn that Heimdallr carries? Which...given we have literally ran out of Nine Realms besides Asgard itself, and we're now after the world tree Yggdrasill, the very thing that connects all the Nine Realms together...yeah, could be safe to say the tree itself may get damaged so badly in this book that she may blow the horn to signal Ragnarok coming, thus FINALLY kicking off the conflict between Asgard and Midgard (and would also be book 9 next year if it plays out that way)
Gacha games prioritize having a good OST because it creates staying power and investment. Gets people listening to the music and thinking about the game by extension even when they’re not playing, meaning the odds of them playing again and potentially spending $$$ on it goes up. Also free advertising when people share the songs on social media going “THEY DIDN’T NEED TO GO THIS HARD 🔥🔥🔥” because it brings more eyes (i.e. potential customers) to the game.
@@fyrflyr2378their wording is poor but I'm sure they meant that whenever kozaki is the lead artist for the book, it's usually accompanied by a stellar soundtrack (in his opinion)
Even thought the Feh channel is heavily underwhelming, book 8 music is a bop. Most of their book music from 3-8 is really good. Edit: Imma play this song while im playing book 8 tonight.
Holy hell, this goes insanely hard. Definitely my favorite map theme from Heroes and possibly my second fav Heroes track (1st is the Book 3 Boss Theme)
Book 8 marks the full exploration of Yggdrasill, having briefly visited the realm back in Book 6. Until this bgm has an official name, I'll call this theme "Healing Hands", after the group that Ratatoskr, Hræsvelgr, and Níðhöggr are part of.
@@blackglurakx2409 one method is setting your keyboard language to icelandic, which uses most if not all of those characters and thus has them in its keyboard
I noticed it too, and while reading up on the denizens of yggdrasil I learnt that in norse mythology, Hraesvelgr is a jotun in bird form, which is interesting because: ~hraesvelgr looks a lot more steampunk than the others ~nott and dagr already have heavy connection with birds a little note: in the opening of the act 5 book,when reginn looks at the moon it splits into 3 before it immediately cuts to dagr and nott. Again, in the book 8 trailer we see hraesvelgr with the moon behind her. Probably nothing, but I think its a cool little detail.
Glad I hopped back in FEH after dipping after the boobifest that was Book VII (Which I loved aesthetically but that's it), Ratatoskr is a star and I LOVE the theme of this Book. It looks really promising.
@@Hesketh32 If I really want to, I can come here listen to the music as much as I want. I will not do it by using weaker units while playing the Chapters. The map literally lasts for like 10 to 15 seconds. There is no point in doing very slowly just to listen to a song I can just play on RUclips. If the song is used in a GHB or MHB, then great! Those maps are harder so I may listen to the entire song. Like you said, there is no intended way to play this game. If you want to do It slowly and with animations on to make it last longer, then good for you.
Favorite parts...🎶..🎶 0:41 I like how it plays throughout as the the background of the melody and blends with it 0:55 1:03 Pretty sick soundtrack. Giving me some exotic White Jungle vibes from Sonic Adventure 2 but with the added bass
I feel it's a pretty good mix of book 5s technological theme (which is interesting to note from Hraesvelgrs's more steampunk appearance [and the fact that in norse mythos hraesvelgr is actually a jotun]) and book 6s violin (which i feel connects to Henriette, who I previously assumed was part of the Emblian royal family at one point, although part of me thinks she may actually be the story's replacement for Heimdall) Basically, this theme is great
This song bops, but it kinda sucks that there's FIFTEEN SECONDS of downward boo-womps that just breaks the pacing of the song. Heck, all the comments are talking about is the part of the song before and after these 15 seconds! it just completely breaks the flow of the song, would love to hear a version of the song without them.
I honestly like the music and overall theme of the new book, but for the love of god, Intelligent Systems, give us only ONCE a "good" male hero for a book pleeeease. Alfonse is constantly surrounded by women 99 % of the time. This is why I already changed my avatars gender from female to male because this game is freakn overloaded with women and as a woman, this is getting exhausting (for years now). Why can we never have any new good male characters? The only other good male heroes all die for some reason (Gustav, Freyr, Bruno). That's also why I prefer male Kris, Byleth, Shez and Alear. Because we severly lack any good male characters in this franchise. I love FEH but I'm also so tired of their design choices.
It seems to me that the influx of heroines have eyes for the summoner more than Alfonse. If you manage to summon Gullvieg, she admits that she is in love with them in every timeline and every one of her incarnations. Fjorm is less honest but more obvious, Eir doesn’t understand her feelings or how to express them, but there’s something there, Peony is a child in a mature body, Ash is more focused on the collective good, and Reginn is similarly childish in her romantic prospects, but she seems to cling to us in particular
Because the majority of the playerbase are straight males, so they’re gonna want to cater to them first lol. I know it sucks but that’s how IS rolls. This is coming from a woman btw.
I feel this. I'm getting tired of there only being 1 or 2 male OCs per book. Book 7 was barely even meeting that quota, just an old guy and Gullveig 20 times over. Still waiting on that summer hrid, too
This I understand, while I get that they probably dont want to steal the spotlight from alfonse being the male lead in story or something. But its been 7 books since we had a main male oc (not counting book one) and I really want a male oc for once Hopefully the one in the mask will be able to deliver in this book
@@AgentSilv damn I completely forgot about Hrid. Askr the god himself also didn't survive his book. The only male OC aside from Alfonse who is still alive is Elm (Lif doesn't count, since he's zombie Alfonse). I'm beginning to see a pattern here lol
I guess it was already good enough for the trailer AND map theme as is, it’s hype enough lol And I think they did the same for some of the previous books? I guess it depends on the vibes of the book itself
I always look forward to the new book themes, and they all usually sound amazing, but this one just doesn't sound good to me. :/ First time i genuinely don't enjoy a book theme, last book theme was definitely much better and one of my favorites. At least we have that new Male OC :v
While I like Ratatoskr (especially her squirrel form), but for the love of, Intelligent Systems please give an original male hero for a book. We've had too many heroines over the past few years and it's getting exhausting. I may be a feminist but this is just too much and it's getting really old...
00:55 when the beat drops, so good
Sadly we will never hear that part in game with our map clearing speed
🕺🐿
Agreed
@@Surskit-jf9drThat's why I sit on the map and wait for it lol
This sound team constantly impresses me. Easily the best aspect of any new book
Someone pointed out that the new oc designs are inspired by nurses or health professionals, given that the new characters are part of The Healing Hands.
Níðhöggr's snake is like a stethoscope
Hræsvelgr is like a surgical tool (Scalpel?)
Unnamed Female OC has bandages all over her
Unnamed Male OC has a medical mask
That's so clever
I never realized that, but that is very interesting
It's even more clear when you take another look at their attire
Ratatoskr is dressed as a nurse (initially thought she was dressed as a maid)
Hræsvelgr wears Loupes (surgical telescope) on her head
NÍdhöggr literally wears doctor gown right there!
The male OC is also holding a dumbbell (physical rehabilitation?)
we have our own sub-zero here in feh
Gotta say Book 8's theme is a Bopper of theme with Jungle Vibes
Those other OCs in the title art for book 8 are most likely Eikþyrnir/Eikthyrnir (the male oc) and Heiðrún/Heidrun (the blue/lavender female oc), who are sacred animals in Norse mythology, being a stag and a goat respectively.

@@vgmaster02 it'd be funny too bc Surtr's already dead lmao
@@vgmaster02I predict Book 9 is Ragnarök, and Book 10 has us finally going to Asgard.
At first, I wasn’t a huge fan of this theme, but holy shit it has grown on me.
pun intended?
Why is Heroes music so good?
It's nearly all composed and arranged by one of the best RPG composers, Hiroki Morishita

Once again Yusuke Kozaki always gets a banger song whenever he is involved with feh.
Kozaki did the cover art not the soundtrack.
I'm guessing their commenting on the correlation but yeah still a weird comment
all the credit goes to Hiroki Morishita. this is one of his best songs
@@fyrflyr2378their wording is poor but I'm sure they meant that whenever kozaki is the lead artist for the book, it's usually accompanied by a stellar soundtrack (in his opinion)
Besides book where Kozaki isn’t involved the music goes so hard as well
It gets kinda groovy at 0:55
The best part of this book so far has been seeing Commander Ana in cutscenes to be fair and well, the music, of course.
00:00-00:39 "You're watching Animal Planet."
WE'RE TRAVELLING THE AMAZONIA WITH THIS ONE!!! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
It really does sound like the Amazon stage theme in War Of The Gems
As a Brazilian I agree
I'm a french guy with brazilian's parents so...@@Leaqua21

The first time you listen: what is this abstract work?
The second time you listen: the amps are cranked up and it's time to jam!

i love so much the ost sound so wild yet you still can heard part of the original theme behind
Bro this is giving me Donkey Kong vibes
this sounds like a remix of book 5's main theme to me. at least the overall sound of it is kinda like book 5 music.
I noticed it too, and while reading up on the denizens of yggdrasil I learnt that in norse mythology, Hraesvelgr is a jotun in bird form, which is interesting because:
~hraesvelgr looks a lot more steampunk than the others

Never end Heroes I’ll always love your music and never shy to be a bit unconventional
FEH OST GETS EXPONENTIALLY BETTER WITH EACH BOOK WHAT THE-
I'm so addicted to song 😅❤
This one hits
Oh damn this shit be fire
This sounds great, but as for all FEH map themes the map will end before the music reaches the best part.

Oh boy another banger for map theme

Pretty sick soundtrack. Giving me some exotic White Jungle vibes from Sonic Adventure 2 but with the added bass
This gives me Sonic CD vibes, especially up until 0:40
Good stuff
Fire Emblem Heroes - Rhythm and Balance
GIGACHAD STAG MAN, DON'T DIE PLEASE I BEG YOU
I like its beat!❤
selvatic theme goes wild!!
absolute banger. can't wait for Níðhönkers
I feel myself disassociating
It’s very Solm Like
Same thing that comes into my mind
Am I the only one that this music from the start reminds me of Tekken 1 Kyoto theme?
The change in melody when Hraesvelgr and Nidhoggr are introduced is really good, otherwise its ehhhh.
The first 30 secs gives manabu namiki vibes for me
I likey!
This is a long shot but do you have the final battle theme with gullvieg at the end of book 7, at least I think it's a different song
Still doesn't beat Book 6's violin masterpiece, but it's a very good theme nonetheless
I feel it's a pretty good mix of book 5s technological theme (which is interesting to note from Hraesvelgrs's more steampunk appearance [and the fact that in norse mythos hraesvelgr is actually a jotun]) and book 6s violin (which i feel connects to Henriette, who I previously assumed was part of the Emblian royal family at one point, although part of me thinks she may actually be the story's replacement for Heimdall)
Basically, this theme is great
this song gives me "world of mana" vibes.
When I first heard this, ngl I just stopped playing and started dancing for like 10 minutes. Also praise Naga for battle music settings
Naga no es Dios
Back to Rabite Forest I see.
in the beginning you can hear people saying something to the beat... i wonder what theyre saying?
nevertheless, a good bop as always

Kinda disappointing that the first 40 seconds are so awful compared to the rest of the theme.
