My favorite part of this in-game is that the lyrics don't *start* when you engage him in combat, they *stop.* This implies he actually was singing the whole time and you interrupted him.
some games call ganondorf the bandit king. nintendo is used to giving crooks biblical cosmic power. magalor was basically a grifter who gaslit kirby into giving him the power of a god, after all
While using said god's spine as a sword, and you can't even deal damage to the guy until you kill his 10 zombified commanders who literally created or helped create everything about this world
I do love the line ‘fodlan will bow to their god shattering star’ just because for a moment it feels like nemesis is trying to be god but instead ends up being the god killer.
I haven’t played this game before, so I don’t know the context of these lines, but “All will bow before the king of liberation. And all will cower who cannot accept salvation. None can stand before the sword of the creator. And those who struggle will be nothing more than stains. On the blade.” definitely feels like lines from a religious maniac rather than the killer of god. It’s amazing that without even knowing the series, you can tell that this is a man who has fallen to hubris from his great achievement just from the song.
@@memerarts4914 you’re not super fall off either but it’s less of a fall of a religious maniac and more of an arrogant . Nemesis (the god slayer in this context) in universe is treated as this hero and servant of the goddess alongside the ten elites, to fight against wicked gods, but fell to corruption by the power given to him and was killed by Seiros according to the church. SPOILERS In truth, however he was nothing more then a bandit leader who was tempted by ‘Those who slither in the dark’, an ancient enemy of Fodlan, to steal Sothis’ bones and heart as weapons of destructions against Seiros and the people of fodlan. What’s left of him in this song is a walking corpse revived by Agartha/TWSITD
The bone refers to the 4 weapons made of Sothis' (Pretty much the deity of Fodlan) bones. The sword of the creator is the most well known, which is the one that can extend into a whip as shown. That bow also happens to be one.
@@WhatIsThatThingDoing not just 4, but all but one of the bone weapons from the many noble houses are from Sothis’ remains. The bow and the Sword of the creator are just one of them.
@@Castersvarog I thought they were made from the Nabataean's bones, while the SotC was the only one from Sothis (because of the Crests) Especially considering that there are many Crest Stones (the things that let them work, even at a lower power without the crest they are associated with) because those are literally the Nabataean's *hearts*.
"The butcher of god" is such a raw title. You didn't just kill a god, you carved them to pieces after and made use of what you found- ... wait a minute.
@@rustkarl Well, in the lore, the bones that the Lance of Ruin and other Heroes' relics are made of don't decay. It explains why they've been used so many times before and haven't completely broken. The bones are (technically) alive.
@@alicebrey Hard to say. The material used to repair them is Umbral Steel which can be gathered from wild Demonic Beasts. Assuming that most Demonic Beasts aren’t of the same quality as the Nabateans it’s possible that the material used to make them is a composite material of Umbral Steel and their bones. There’s also the fact that it’s notoriously hard to keep a Nabatean dead. Sothis was ‘dead’ but still sticks around in her Crest Stone, even after pulling that Fusion Dance with Byleth. So I think that the remains of life and sentience within the Crest Stones embedded into the Relics are the shreds of sentience still lingering from their owners, not really sentient or aware but ever so slightly alive enough to react.

I really love the line “Fódlan’s forever marked”, because it has a double meaning. Not only does it refer to Fódlan itself, being marked by all the war and stuff, but it also refers to the 10 (11) elites and himself, who forever had crests (marks)
"None can defeat me! for I wield the Sword of the Creator!" he says while his opponent also wields the Sword of the Creator, but theirs is the original while Nemisis only wields a replica. Nemisis is then beaten by the so called "cowards" who refused to face him in single combat, dying as he falls over. really ironic isn't It?
@@AshenDust_ Well the material used to repair it is called Umbral Steel which implies that either dragon bone is hard enough to be called metal, or they were made by fusing it with another metal. Since Umbral Steel drops from Demonic Beasts (including the wild ones) it implies that it comes from them.
Context for those who haven't played: The bearded fellow is named Nemesis. He killed god while god was in a coma from repairing the world from a nuclear war. Drinking god's blood gave him superpowers, and he had a really cool sword made out of god's bones. He then massacred most of god's children so his buddies could drink their blood to get superpowers and have superweapons made out of their bones. Jesus led some of her remaining dragon siblings and some sympathetic humans against Nemesis. After killing him Jesus' top human follower became the head of a major nation while Jesus founded a church that she keeps running through the generations as pope by pretending to be someone else. That was all 1,000 years ago, and in one route evil mole-people bring Nemesis and his followers back for the final battle.
Prtty much perfectly accurate, but if anyone is Jesus I would consider it Byleth. Serios and her siblings are more like Michael, Gabriel, etc. lesser divine beings made by god as opposed to the physical manifestation of god that Byleth became after more or less cutting their way back from being banished to hell/the void
@@gabrielrussell5531 Exactly, if we are going with the matching them up to Christianity Byleth and Sothis together can be seen as representing the Holy Trinity Sothis in life was The Father, Mother in this case I suppose, the active force of Creation Sothis as a higher being without physical form would be the Holy Spirit- the divine that while lacking form still has power and is credited with the revival of Jesus...much like Sothis' power through the divine pulse can resurrect fallen allies and this version of her enables Byleth to return from his magical banishmeent Byleth is The Son(or Daughter depending on character customization), aka Jesus, the physical part of god that lived among humans as one of them before the revelation of his divine nature who would eventually redeem humanity, in Byleth's case by ending the old order and creating a new age for Fodlan alongside whichever house leader you choose to side with. That ended up a little long so sorry about that, but short version: You are correct and because you are correct I am as well, religion can be weird like that.
I really love this, because it shows the two things that we can infer about Nemesis. One, that he desires revenge at his core. And also that HE BELIEVES HE IS RIGHT. He was a puppet king, little more than a bandit given status.
I mean the original canon lyrics state it he does believe he is right but he also has some belief in the liberation he seeks. A good way to paint it is like the asteru belief in crusader kings. With Violence and vengance being seen as something of merit rather than sins.

I know this song is supposed to be intimidating and imposing but I couldn't help but focus on how the artist drew Nemesis with some massive bonkhonagahoogs. Those are some serious dohoonkabhankoloos.
At 2:59 Fun fact: the Crest Stones in Nemesis's sword are the Crest Stones of Noa and Timotheos. Yes I did boot up my copy of the game and check my dlc items just because I was curious.
Well, statistically speaking, anyone playing 3 Houses for the first time has a 50% chance of hearing Apex of the World as the final boss theme, over GSS' 25%. This isn't even factoring the amount of people who simp for Edelgard
I kind of like the parallelism: Claude can either become the anti-Nemesis in his more idealistic route, or he can become the new Nemesis (albeit for far more sympathetic reasons) in his more cynical route. It's now entirely legitimate to say Claude or Nemesis is singing God-Shattering Star, depending on the timeline.
@@jord839 Claude in three houses showed that he felt it would be better if rhea was dead ( support points raised if you said it would be better off if rhea was dead and his beliefs opposed the church’s tenants he was never an ally for dimitri. Or church he in vw used the church for good publicity and he canonically agreed with edelgard but just felt her actions wouldn’t work he never sided with rhea he sided with byleth because he saw them as possibly mitigating the worst aspects of the church and a feasible replacement to rhea between a rhea without byleth and edelgard he would side with edelgard whose ideals correspond with his own
@@adonaimelles2317 I've honestly alwasy agreed with Claude more than anyone else (Dmitri's story is a lot more emotional, that's why I like it more, but when it comes down to it, Claude has the best plan, sadly Edelgard is trying to use Those Who Slither to kill the church but is in turn being used just like they did to Nemesis when they are the one's to blame for her current predicament not Rhea)
More of a revenant. A lich is usually a powerful mage, and Nemesis is never seen using magic. Revenants, at least in D&D are creatures kept alive due to determination for revenge, which fits Nemesis far better. Just my opinion!
A great cover that actually does more justice for the Agarthans and Shambhala than the actual game, with very impact full lyrics full of references to the game. I only wish Nemesis' voice was deeper, but then again that would probably cause a week long sore throat. Technically there's only 1 final bosses left of Three Houses for a cover, so wether it be Edelgard, Rhea or Byleth, I'm looking forward to that eventuality.
2:18 *All will bow before the king of liberation* *And all will cower who can't accept salvation* *None can stand before the sword of the cretor* *And those who struggle will be nothing more than stains* *On the blade!* This whole section gives me the chills. Every. Single. Time.
This really makes me want more Fire Emblem content on the channel. There are so many games in the series with amazing soundtracks (Three Houses, Radiant Dawn, Fates, Shadows of Valentia, Shadow Dragon, Genealogy of the Holy War, etc.), and I know you'll be able to do them justice. Personally, I'd really like to see a more niche game like Thracia 776 get a cover.
Check out Juno Songs, who often collaborates with this channel, and has covered songs for other fire emblem games! Songs of heros wave one is complete, and wave two is planned
Juno semi-confirmed God-Shattering Star for his Song of Heroes: Wave 2, in a video where all the characters and voices were revealed. Nemesis was in that video.
It'd be kind of weird though, since the true lyrics for God-Shattering Star is a war rally and propaganda, telling people to take the world back from God.
@@gazelle_diamond9768 God-Shattering Star uses a false language. There's an official Japanese translation in the soundtrack booklet, which can be translated to English. If you search for "God-Shattering Star official lyrics," it should be easy to find.
This. Is. Amazing. I didn't think I'd ever find a version of this song with actual words that would supplant the original in my eyes, but boy was I wrong. Alex's vocals are simply astounding, carrying so much raw charisma and emotion, and the chorus has so many banger lines! The most impressive part to me is how similar the inflection (I think that's the right word) is to the original gibberish.
I noticed Marianne was a Holy Knight. Good. You didn't make the same mistake that Intelligent Systems has repeatedly made with Fire Emblem Heroes, which is forgetting Dorté.
@eric_moore-6126 same mistake? She actually excels at a Dancer. Like, incredibly - she's a decent healer sure, but Mercedes outperforms her easily. Same case with Linhardt. Magic, despite her unusually high crit chance - people like Lysthia exist. Keeping heals and a good bit of magic, she gains the ability for further support - plus with Dancers, you get the added bonus of the default 20+ avoid with sword, which is handy due to her Hero Relic. There's a whole breakdown explaining it better than I could on the cursed site called Reddit, and honestly, yeah it checks.
This one must have been really hard on your voice. Great job dude staying in the stop of your chest voice for basically the whole song. I can NOT do that. You're killing it.
YES!!!! Gosh I can't say how happy I am. God shattering star was always one of my favorite songs of all time and now Moti gave us a really great version with lyrics. Great work as always. respect
you could have knew that one of the final battles which is a group of Bandits would be the best final battle in the franchise and yes this is cannon lol

For a guy that comes out of basically no where and doesn't even appear in Three Hopes he truly made his mark with the best final boss theme in any FE game to me. In a game that already has Apex of the World that's no small feat.
@@infinitelegionis515 yeah they choose to expand more on the three main nations. While making other agartans more of the main villain. It's still a good game just crazy how they cut one of the final bosses.
You know, the fact that the god Nemesis killed was asleep because of fixing the World from Nuclear Annihilation, and well, I found this song because a RUclipsr know as Rubix Raptor used the og song when he nuked an elderich god in the core of Europa in Barotrama, Point is, seems like Gods are weak to Nukes...
There is so much amazing potential for more FE songs you could do. From the absolute masterpieces of music from Echoes such March to Deliverance or Twilight of the Gods, or songs from the older games who have yet to see modern recreations like in Genealogy of the Holy War and it’s music
Wow never though I'd see you guys post a lyric version of this song so soon after I beat this game's golden deer route for the first time You all did an amazing job!
This is absolutely amazing!! I genuinely jumped out of my chair when I saw the notification out of pure hype, and I'm glad to say that it even surpassed my expectations
I love nemesis as a villain because in any other context he'd be your quintessential fire emblem lord. But like he's fucked up and evil about it. Iconic, honestly
I would LOVE to have a Three Houses musical from these guys which INCLUDES the Cindered Shadows DLC because I can JUST imagine the lyrics to "At What Cost?" when Byleth, Dimitri, Claude, Edelgard and the Ashen Wolves face against the Umbral Beast.
This was awesome. Admittedly these aren't the in game lyrics but this is still epic. Admittedly I never did get why the Golden Deer are the ones who get to fight Nemesis.
In all fairness, the other routes do have something else overtaking their main role, and thus, not everyone may be able to have time to build up Nemesis. Crimson Flower has the whole Edelgard vs Rhea Blue Lions pretty much has the whole relationship status between Dmitri and Edelgard and how they view each other in the age of war El set up. I'd possibly argue there might have been a possible chance for the Church route to include Nemesis, but after that gauntlet of a final boss fight? Probably would've been a bit too much for one route, even after the Church Route goes through Shambala, then possibly fighting Nemesis before the final boss of that route. And given part of the Golden Deer's early game was somewhat going through Fodlan's history, Nemesis likely made for a much fitting final boss, not just for Golden Deer, but perhaps for Rhea as well. Though those are my two cents and I can't recall every little detail since it's been ages since I played this game, so I might be off on the overall theming for the routes here.
@@TheGreatPikminZX789 I can sort of see that for the deer but it feels very feeble and it does just raise more questions due to the messy relationship between Silver Snow and Verdant Wind (and the sheer amount of "this is totally the final mission we swear this time" fatigue). I suspect if Verdant Wind had more time and energy devoted during development it would feel a lot less jarring.
My favorite part of this in-game is that the lyrics don't *start* when you engage him in combat, they *stop.* This implies he actually was singing the whole time and you interrupted him.
Nemesis: the ultimate sword bard
“You green haired bitch, I was singing!”
Wait, what other song has vocals in the Thunder Version, but not in the Rain Version?

He makes his killing of Sothis sound so dramatic for what is canonically killing her while she slept, greatly weakened, after fixing the world.

@@randombrit4504 which is fair its kind of funny only Azure Moon really doesn't get rid of them
@@solgeo1296 no it happens in azure moon, it just sucks how the entirety of the TWSITD are boiled down to 5 units on the corner of the final chapter. Yes, the bottom right corner of the map, with those 5 units, it’s specifically stated, that for some reason, THATS ALL OF THE REMAINING ONES.
So yeah, Fear the Deer.
I know this song is supposed to be intimidating and imposing but I couldn't help but focus on how the artist drew Nemesis with some massive bonkhonagahoogs. Those are some serious dohoonkabhankoloos.
He had nothing to do in his coffin other than sleeping or bench pressing the lid.
The fuck are those
Nemesis: "I slew a god with my own two hands"
*Looks at Lysithea*
"But that thing... it scares me"
At 2:59
Fun fact: the Crest Stones in Nemesis's sword are the Crest Stones of Noa and Timotheos. Yes I did boot up my copy of the game and check my dlc items just because I was curious.
Others already said this and I shall say it as well.
WHY
THIS
SONG
WASN'T
ADDED
IN
SMASH!!!???
Well, statistically speaking, anyone playing 3 Houses for the first time has a 50% chance of hearing Apex of the World as the final boss theme, over GSS' 25%. This isn't even factoring the amount of people who simp for Edelgard
Every match would have to wait 25 seconds to allow the full intro to complete!
Thats the problem with Smash when they bring in new characters they waste opportunities to use their banger boss music from their games!!
Not even a Three Hopes remix 😭
Even better question
WHY
THIS
SONG
WASN'T
ON
THREE HOPES??!??!
Hopes Claude: you know nemesis has a point.
Also FEAR THE DEER
I kind of like the parallelism: Claude can either become the anti-Nemesis in his more idealistic route, or he can become the new Nemesis (albeit for far more sympathetic reasons) in his more cynical route.
It's now entirely legitimate to say Claude or Nemesis is singing God-Shattering Star, depending on the timeline.
@@jord839 Claude in three houses showed that he felt it would be better if rhea was dead ( support points raised if you said it would be better off if rhea was dead and his beliefs opposed the church’s tenants he was never an ally for dimitri. Or church he in vw used the church for good publicity and he canonically agreed with edelgard but just felt her actions wouldn’t work he never sided with rhea he sided with byleth because he saw them as possibly mitigating the worst aspects of the church and a feasible replacement to rhea between a rhea without byleth and edelgard he would side with edelgard whose ideals correspond with his own
@@adonaimelles2317
I've honestly alwasy agreed with Claude more than anyone else (Dmitri's story is a lot more emotional, that's why I like it more, but when it comes down to it, Claude has the best plan, sadly Edelgard is trying to use Those Who Slither to kill the church but is in turn being used just like they did to Nemesis when they are the one's to blame for her current predicament not Rhea)
I love that in this fight, you're literally fighting a Lich and his army of the dead
More of a revenant. A lich is usually a powerful mage, and Nemesis is never seen using magic. Revenants, at least in D&D are creatures kept alive due to determination for revenge, which fits Nemesis far better. Just my opinion!
A great cover that actually does more justice for the Agarthans and Shambhala than the actual game, with very impact full lyrics full of references to the game.
I only wish Nemesis' voice was deeper, but then again that would probably cause a week long sore throat.
Technically there's only 1 final bosses left of Three Houses for a cover, so wether it be Edelgard, Rhea or Byleth, I'm looking forward to that eventuality.
Yeah, since Dimitri's half of Apex was used for last year's Songtober.
Wait, byleth is a final boss for three houses?
@@thesoureevee6412 No, her daughter is.
@@thesoureevee6412 Well, the final bosses varies depending on what route you take.
@@70thalternativeaccount63 You're mistaking Byleth for Sothis.
2:18
*All will bow before the king of liberation*
*And all will cower who can't accept salvation*
*None can stand before the sword of the cretor*
*And those who struggle will be nothing more than stains*
*On the blade!*
This whole section gives me the chills. Every. Single. Time.
That makes two of us.

This really makes me want more Fire Emblem content on the channel. There are so many games in the series with amazing soundtracks (Three Houses, Radiant Dawn, Fates, Shadows of Valentia, Shadow Dragon, Genealogy of the Holy War, etc.), and I know you'll be able to do them justice. Personally, I'd really like to see a more niche game like Thracia 776 get a cover.
I am honestly happy we get any at all considering how relatively niche fire emblem is
Check out Juno Songs, who often collaborates with this channel, and has covered songs for other fire emblem games! Songs of heros wave one is complete, and wave two is planned
@@theskyisfullofclouds4806 Awesome!
YES!! God Shattering Star, the best final boss theme in Fire Emblem is finally here
I still prefer Apex and FoF over GSS, but all 3 are bangers.
Twilight of the gods says hello
So, everyone is just going to ignore Power-Hungry Fool?
*Limitless Power, got them mixed up for a second.
@@johnw.alexander3037 Those two don't even come close to the batshit insanity that God-Shattering Star or Twilight of the Gods are.
@@xyannail4678 I like all the 4 route final boss themes. But ID Purpose is still my favorite
For Agartha! For those who slither in the Dark! That lyric gave me chills.
Sothis fell to our design, and Nabatea’s doom is nigh.
So let the dark swallow the skies, the people of Shambhala riiiiise!
That’s my favourite.
Please put some quotation marks
The way the chorus picks up “The people of Shambhala rise!”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Holy shit. Words can't decribe how magnificent this is. I can't wait to see what Juno's version is gonna have in store.
There's going to be more versions?
Juno semi-confirmed God-Shattering Star for his Song of Heroes: Wave 2, in a video where all the characters and voices were revealed. Nemesis was in that video.
This was beautiful.
Now to wait for the crossover where Joe Zieja comes up with his own lyrics for a Claude response.
It'd be kind of weird though, since the true lyrics for God-Shattering Star is a war rally and propaganda, telling people to take the world back from God.
@@xreamed What do you mean "true lyrics"?
@@gazelle_diamond9768 the actual "translation" of the original song, not to be confused with the lyrics in this video
@@xreamed What translation are you talking about? Has there been an official translation?
@@gazelle_diamond9768 God-Shattering Star uses a false language. There's an official Japanese translation in the soundtrack booklet, which can be translated to English. If you search for "God-Shattering Star official lyrics," it should be easy to find.
Every time I hear a version of this I keep picturing Claude facing down Nemesis saying "You may be the God Shatterer, But *I'M* the Star here"
The Immaculate One? Nah, Claude is the true Immaculate One
SO REAL
That was truly a God shattering star song. I loved it. Nice job turning the lyric into awesome English track to make it more awesome good job.
This. Is. Amazing.
I didn't think I'd ever find a version of this song with actual words that would supplant the original in my eyes, but boy was I wrong.
Alex's vocals are simply astounding, carrying so much raw charisma and emotion, and the chorus has so many banger lines! The most impressive part to me is how similar the inflection (I think that's the right word) is to the original gibberish.
I noticed Marianne was a Holy Knight. Good. You didn't make the same mistake that Intelligent Systems has repeatedly made with Fire Emblem Heroes, which is forgetting Dorté.
Counter point; Dancer Marianne
@@Labyethan that's not a counterpoint, just admitting to also making the same mistake
@eric_moore-6126 same mistake? She actually excels at a Dancer.
Like, incredibly - she's a decent healer sure, but Mercedes outperforms her easily. Same case with Linhardt. Magic, despite her unusually high crit chance - people like Lysthia exist.
Keeping heals and a good bit of magic, she gains the ability for further support - plus with Dancers, you get the added bonus of the default 20+ avoid with sword, which is handy due to her Hero Relic. There's a whole breakdown explaining it better than I could on the cursed site called Reddit, and honestly, yeah it checks.
"Fodlan will bow to their god...
...SHATTERING STAR!"
Such a raw introduction. Why claim to be god, when you can be the one who murdered her?
"There he is Claude! The CEO of racism!"
POV: your fighting eldritch horrors at the core of an ice planet with nuclear weapons
A rubix raptor fan i see.
2 years later and this still slaps ✋😭
If I didn’t know those weren’t the lyrics, I’d SWEAR that those were. They are so apt, it’s unreal.
1:44 my favourite line, I love the way it’s said
This one must have been really hard on your voice. Great job dude staying in the stop of your chest voice for basically the whole song. I can NOT do that. You're killing it.
Dunno why, but there is something so powerful on the line "Sothis fell to our design"
Me: see notification
Me: oh yeah, it's Claude time
"Sothis fell to out design
And Nabatea's doom is nigh!
So let the dark swallow the skies
The people of Shambhala rise!"
I love this part so much 😁
Oh cool just the best song in all of Fire Emblem that's neat.
But twilight of the gods never got a lyrical cover.
This isn't Truth, Despair, and Hope though?
I was in the Golden Deer house. And God did I love this fight with the tactful Claude by my side.
Alex really did become the "God Shattering Star" of this song! Like, this was freaking amazing!! Amazing job!
I can't help but feel the imports of this boss fight is like describe what he is and what he wants. Awesome
This one sent so many chills down my spine, god.
Please do more Fire Emblem music, there are some killer tunes in this series.
This final battle theme definitely made an incredible impression on me, and hearing lyrics added to it just makes it even better
I refuse to belive that this song isnt going to get a 1 hour version
Well now it have one.
Listened to this while playing Cult Of The Lamb and it is wonderfully fitting
YES!!!!
Gosh I can't say how happy I am. God shattering star was always one of my favorite songs of all time and now Moti gave us a really great version with lyrics.
Great work as always. respect
That was freaking amazing! This did not disappoint. (Though I was hoping for a line or two from Claude or Byleth...)
I agree
2:40
I love this so much, the newest video (vs ganondorf with lyrics) reminded me of this cause of the opera
I love 2:40 so much
you could have knew that one of the final battles which is a group of Bandits would be the best final battle in the franchise and yes this is cannon lol
101/10 would use a sword made out of a God's spine again.
Who would win?
An ancient hero/villain, Fell King of Liberation, butcherer of a god and is an absolute *powerhouse* of a man
Or one class of goofy deer students?
“Let’s say, hypothetically, Luigi grabs you at 0%”
Lol
Nemesis is nothing compared to Luigi!
Villain: You are all pathetic weaklings!
You lack the courage to challenge me in lone combat!
Me: Big talk coming from a coward who takes pride out of killing a defenseless goddess IN HER SLEEP!!!
"defenseless goddess", she is as a god dude
@@ozgurruh2535who was sleeping!
Killing someone in their sleep is no challenge at all.
So it's NOTHING to be proud of.
@@DamontheDemon7you do realize that bitch can create the power of nuclear bombs on her finger tips right? Nobody would be a challenge to her. İ would call what he did cunning, also, her temple was likely defended to hell and back, do you think they would leave the literal goddess alone? He likely had to fight a goddamn army before reaching her
@@ozgurruh2535 He already had one? Hello? It’s not a feat to “kill” someone in “permanent sleep” (aka dead).
@@wildfire9280bruh, youtube did not send a notification for your reply and i am just noticing it while scrolling lmao. I would like to say something back but i am really not in the mood to argue about this after a month has passed
When a crusty old man has a better vocal range than you.
Love the sheer pressure of GST that Alex sings in this
Holy crap, this certainly isn't what I expected here, but I'm really happy to see it.
For a guy that comes out of basically no where and doesn't even appear in Three Hopes he truly made his mark with the best final boss theme in any FE game to me. In a game that already has Apex of the World that's no small feat.
@PhillipOnTakos Wait, he didn't appeared in it ? That's kind of a shame, they could have expanded on him and the Argatheans a bit more
@@infinitelegionis515 yeah they choose to expand more on the three main nations. While making other agartans more of the main villain. It's still a good game just crazy how they cut one of the final bosses.
@@PhillipOnTakos Well, at least they didn't completely cut them out of the game. But I agree with you
His sword appears in New Gane+, though.
It's awesome to see a Three Houses song here!
Now, we have *two* Three Houses songs since this guy also did Apex.
I've been waiting for another English adaptation for so long. I feel very motivated now!
Railgun Ready in all Respects Captain.
You know, the fact that the god Nemesis killed was asleep because of fixing the World from Nuclear Annihilation, and well, I found this song because a RUclipsr know as Rubix Raptor used the og song when he nuked an elderich god in the core of Europa in Barotrama, Point is, seems like Gods are weak to Nukes...
"And claim the heart of the dragon divine" - most epic line ever. And I haven't even played this game (but I read about it).
"So ends the hopes of Seiros!" Somehow that line is so perfect. 😅
NUCLEAR SOLUTION AUTHORIZED
I can't believe I'm finally seeing this.
Oh, the _hype_ ...
Spectacular!
This must have been such a fun challenge to sing! Those are some AMAZING pipes!
Oh my God!!!!!
I definitely wasn't expecting this cover!!
Im so glad you did God shattering star :DD
I must admit you *shattered* our expectations
👍 N O I C E
Oh look here, I found Alois
There is so much amazing potential for more FE songs you could do. From the absolute masterpieces of music from Echoes such March to Deliverance or Twilight of the Gods, or songs from the older games who have yet to see modern recreations like in Genealogy of the Holy War and it’s music
Wow never though I'd see you guys post a lyric version of this song so soon after I beat this game's golden deer route for the first time
You all did an amazing job!
This is absolutely amazing!! I genuinely jumped out of my chair when I saw the notification out of pure hype, and I'm glad to say that it even surpassed my expectations
I love nemesis as a villain because in any other context he'd be your quintessential fire emblem lord. But like he's fucked up and evil about it. Iconic, honestly
Nemesis: Exists
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Ignatz: LET ME PAINT YOU A PICTURE!
"YOU ARE MAKING ME WORK!"
"HOLD A GRUDGE IF YOU MUST!"
"YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"
"MY BLOOD COMPELS ME!"
"IN A HURRY TO DIE, ARE WE?"
So glad we’re getting more three houses!
I love the kind of voice alex has, amazing vocal range and the way he holds notes! Truly amazing
Please do more Fire Emblem three houses music. Heck, make it four different musicals! one for each route, please!
Definitely would love this!
They have one in the spooktober group with dimitri and eldagard that would be a banger if fine tuned
I would LOVE to have a Three Houses musical from these guys which INCLUDES the Cindered Shadows DLC because I can JUST imagine the lyrics to "At What Cost?" when Byleth, Dimitri, Claude, Edelgard and the Ashen Wolves face against the Umbral Beast.
Nicely done been waiting on this cover and it was marvelous!!
I wish we could’ve gotten a class similar to his in game cuz I really like the design
I've been waiting to hear Alex's God-Shattering Voice again for a long time! Great stuff!
Again?
This was awesome.
Admittedly these aren't the in game lyrics but this is still epic.
Admittedly I never did get why the Golden Deer are the ones who get to fight Nemesis.
In all fairness, the other routes do have something else overtaking their main role, and thus, not everyone may be able to have time to build up Nemesis.
Crimson Flower has the whole Edelgard vs Rhea
Blue Lions pretty much has the whole relationship status between Dmitri and Edelgard and how they view each other in the age of war El set up.
I'd possibly argue there might have been a possible chance for the Church route to include Nemesis, but after that gauntlet of a final boss fight? Probably would've been a bit too much for one route, even after the Church Route goes through Shambala, then possibly fighting Nemesis before the final boss of that route.
And given part of the Golden Deer's early game was somewhat going through Fodlan's history, Nemesis likely made for a much fitting final boss, not just for Golden Deer, but perhaps for Rhea as well.
Though those are my two cents and I can't recall every little detail since it's been ages since I played this game, so I might be off on the overall theming for the routes here.
@@TheGreatPikminZX789 I can sort of see that for the deer but it feels very feeble and it does just raise more questions due to the messy relationship between Silver Snow and Verdant Wind (and the sheer amount of "this is totally the final mission we swear this time" fatigue). I suspect if Verdant Wind had more time and energy devoted during development it would feel a lot less jarring.
Oh my god you guys did so good on this one. Love the translated lyrics
The perfect musical for my return.
I got chills 😍😍😍
Amazing lyrics and your voice is an absolute heart catcher! Aaaaaaa
Imagine if u get to have the people with the crests from the 12 elites recruited for this boss
I love this. This sounds heckin' awesome
That was awesome, Thank you for this amazing cover to the song from my favorite route.
Great song, loved 3 houses and this is probably my fav boss out of all the storylines, just for the music, lol
I’ve never played any of the Fire Emblem series, but now that I’ve heard this track, I want to go out now and buy the game!
This is a rather good song! good job!
Sadly when i got the notification for it i was in the middle of listening to coconut mall. So that deducts points
This is an incredible cover for my favorite song in all of media, I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this. That's a sub from me.
