Someone said it already, you can tell that the 3H’s music directors had to make this, and no wonder why it’s so good. They never missed a good soundtrack in 3H, and I hope they get to keep doing more music
I don't see what's so wrong with the Thunder Tracks. A couple of them didn't exactly fit as well, but I never really had any complaints over them. In fact, I prefer some of the Thunder Tracks more.
Feh's boss music is always _so good!_ I kinda hope Muspell gets his own theme because the piano fits Nifl too well to be slapped onto a fiery enemy so easily. (Plus it means a parallel track to this one and that sounds divine.)
Well, the kind of music he may get depends on his personality, Nifl seems cold and distant, calm and collected, so he's likely gonna be the opossite, passionate (as in "burning passion") and agressive, maybe even a little insane, so maybe more of a rock/metal theme? Or maybe something heavy but still god-like similar to Twilight of the Gods, with strong beats rather than the elegant piano and orchestra in Nilf's theme, or IS could just reuse this, who knows :/
@@AlmondMilkLake I think they could go a couple of ways with Muspell. He/they/she will likely be incredibly passionate, but they could be passionate in a childish way, but since they represent fire, they consume a person's soul in return, or they could be incredibly malicious and cruel.
@@MrGksarathy Yeah i agree with you, it could literally be anything, the only thing we know so far is that Muspell is a guy, besides that he could have any personality, he could be childish, or he could be as insane as Surtr, the only thing that is for sure is that he's gonna be a polar opposite to Nifl, so he'll likely have a pretty intense personality
@@SirDoodicus Considering Kiran bodied death incarnate herself (Hel) with it, Nifl might need to tread VERY carefully unless she wishes to be another god to be added to the Bredablik's body count

@@cajoan5556 Many of those might not have one. Helheim is Hel. Hel is Helheim's god. Also... while it borrows from Norse mythology, the head god already has a name. It's not Odin.
I hope Tempests can go back to being more serious like when it started. I enjoy the fun seasonal ones, but if this is the direction they're headed, I'm all for it.
Eh. It's pretty funny how her design grows on you the more you look at it. I felt the same way at first, but now I'm kind of enticed by it. The bgm probably plays a part in this as well. It's really good.
"The nature of everything is to burn! Char the flesh! Show me the bones! Lay bare the truth!" Hearing that line with this theme playing in the background basically sold me on trying to pull for Múspell. Edit: I got him.
This song is such a THEME I feel like facing a indefeatable opponent, someone or something terrible, unestopable and indomitable But somehow I dont feel despair, I feel hope, and the strengh to fight it
Nifl made one mistake when she came to finally claim Fjorm's life: While Fjorm may accept her death, her allies won't. and her allies contain plenty of Heros who either have killed dragon gods of/above her level or ARE dragon gods at/above her level.
Even killed/defeated some literal gods too, not just extremely powerful dragons...honestly, the Order of Heroes would probably be one of the groups you'd least want to tangle with.......why are literal mortal chumps the like of Fafnir even considered such a big threat anyway? Surtr at least had basically turned himself into a demi god, and Hel and Freyja are basically *literally* gods...Fafnir is literally just a guy in a fancy robot horse >__>
@@MrSentinel07 i mean, her contract with Nifl literally involved Fjorm giving up her life, which happened to be long delayed we actually have ZERO clue what Nifl wants since she never speaks in the TT intro anyway @OrderedComa honestly Fafnir only got this far since up to this current feh chapter he had some bullshit plot thing juicing him up hard enough to make him invincible for some reason
Imagine if Grima fought Nifl in one on one combat. Now that I would pay to see. Commander Anna: I see a way to make lots of money! Grima: Expiration. You will not get payed for my fun. I will get payed for my fun.
Apparently this along with the Map Theme plays against Pirate Surtr in the "Fire and Ice 2" event. I guess the special map theme and boss theme is either for Story Tempest Trial events or "Ice and Flame" events in general, not specifically against Nifl.
Looking back this was peak feh imo. This event was so hype by giving us more about book 2 and introducing characters from the tempest trials, hope they do more like this soon because this was so cool

The beginning part sounds so menacing and then later on right before it loops, the song sounds sad. We’ve never really had tracks this serious in tone before but it’s definitely welcome if they slap as hard as this
This is basically Indomitable Will with double the BPM and more of the the 3+3+2 metre we got in the other new BGM. I haven't checked for one-to-one correspondence, but my intuition says the harmonies are almost if not identical. The orchestration I haven't been able to pick apart, but it's this same melody in a red, violent tone (strings with trumpet maybe? Might be using wordless voice too) with boomy chords underneath, only the balance between melody and percussion is much heavier here on percussion and the accompanying (background) figuration in the upper register is far more active. The melody has the same outline in both tracks: a downward step, then an upward step from about a third or a fourth lower, then a few descending notes starting from about the opening pitch, and then another descent. The most obvious differences are the doubling or tripling of the number of heavy beats (per second or per minute, not per measure), which gives this track a furiously fast pace and makes it tiring quickly in the absence of contrasting sections, and much greater use of 3+3+2 metre marked, in the measures where it appears (other measures are just a straightforward four subdivided down the middle), using bass notes that signal harmonic changes. The weak pulses after the bass notes have chords in the middle register, so that the oom-pah-pah-oom-pah-pah-oom-pah pattern articulates the metre clearly. There are some deeper differences which are less obvious but arguably more significant. Indomitable Will leads into the melody of Fodlan Winds, as to say "this is the climax of the tension that was present from the first battle between the classes." This track doesn't have such a long story arc behind it, and the composer doesn't try to claim any development nearly as great in scale. After the two iterations of the melodic motive, it's just...two long notes, one whole step apart. Not even a semitone. There is only a weak sense of the track driving to a conclusion like the other new track does in its third section, and to the extent it exists in this track, the harmony does most of the work after the two statements of the melodic motive. Additionally, I read from Indomitable Will a sense of tearing the very foundation of the continent and all social order apart, or perhaps even the entire cosmos. The feeling was incredibly deep. The sense of conflict with cosmic implications is in this track too, but the part about tearing the foundation of society apart I do not sense. Easily one of the most intense tracks in the game, and a very good one for its length. Not something most people would probably enjoy listening to for minutes on end because it doesn't have much contrast within itself, but for a final boss map which will usually end within 2-3 loops, it's great. We got a huge musical treat with this update. I especially praise the orchestration, which I find unique, the skillful use of well-crafted beats, and well-chosen harmonies which aren't especially innovative but very effective, especially the way they were used to generate some interesting melodies.
Me: "I can't let you claim her life after we've been through so much together. We've explored various lands, made allies of many Heroes and Legends...defeated Muspell and even defied the very essence of death itself. I can't let you claim Fjorm's life after the journeys we've had together...and if you stand before us... *pulls out Sword Breidablik* I WILL STOP YOU!!!
I think it's really cool they just randomly did this with special music and everything, very pleasantly surprised. And the music is damn good too! Especially how out of order it was makes it very exciting in my opinion
I think FEH marked the point where FE really started experimenting with their music styles more and I love seeing where that’s brought the series cuz stuff like this is awesome
Na I think fates was the one to start the trend after all that's the only game where Japanese is the most apparent and since everyone loves the Japanese inspired tracks & j-poply lost in thoughts all alone it's only natural they take risks with the soundtracks
Nifl: You would have Fjorm defy the pact she swore herself to? You are either brave or foolish. Come, then, if you believe you can topple the god of Nifl. I am Nifl itself, and to challenge me is to challenge ice and snow. *Nifl summoned forth Cloned Heroes!*
@@dewott3754 Monarchs of a nation being descended from their Goddess, reminds me of Japanese emperors said to be descended from Amaterasu the sun Goddess.
Honestly I prefer that they're moving the overall plot forward with special events. It helps a lot with dangling plot threads and introducing characters like Nifl and Muspell who could otherwise not be introduced in a non-awkward way
I hope the writers of Forging Bonds are the ones writing the TT and not the main story writers cause then this story might actually be good. Also wow this music is my favourite Heroes track!
Considering that in Forging Bonds, Brave Lysithea, Merric, Lute, and a few other mages are trying to find a way to make it so Fjorm doesn't die due to the rite of ice, I hope this tempest trial ends up being a continuation of sorts to that as well as have the involvement of whoever wrote that particular forging bonds story
1. Okay this boss theme is amazing. The piano is a really nice touch. 2. Calvary blue dragon unit with ice wolf form? *Sounds like good eats for my Rhajat.*

This is great, thanks for uploading it
dang this is way better than a mobile game's music should be and I love it
この曲すごい好きだから助かる
Hey you got it right on what all the soundtracks are for!
Gotta be real. Fire Emblem always has the best boss/final battle music. The best. This music is absolute fire!!!.... er... ice.
Omg this is perfect alarm clock music!!!
Me: "I can't let you claim her life after we've been through so much together. We've explored various lands, made allies of many Heroes and Legends...defeated Muspell and even defied the very essence of death itself. I can't let you claim Fjorm's life after the journeys we've had together...and if you stand before us... *pulls out Sword Breidablik* I WILL STOP YOU!!!
At the moment Nifl wants Fjorm to slay Muspell. She told her that if she succeeds then her life is hers to do with as she pleases
Fire Emblem never disappoints with its music.
I listened to Shackled Wolves then this.
They have same qualities.
The Ashen Wolves are in Heroes! *Howl*
After hearing about the datamines, I REALLY want to see Cavalry Dragon M!Corrin in the future. He's a perfect candidate for that combination!
Concept for a future L!M!Corrin?
@@c4liga215 let that Corrin have the Omega Yato instead.
@@paperluigi6132 I have a feeling the Omega Yato might go to Kana instead.
@@paperluigi6132 isn't M!Corrin's Yato in the Omega form already?
I love it already, I'm gonna have to turn on the animations for this fight huh?
I think it's really cool they just randomly did this with special music and everything, very pleasantly surprised. And the music is damn good too! Especially how out of order it was makes it very exciting in my opinion
And now we can summon for her!
man- I hope we get another boss theme like this as a final boss theme for the conclusion of the ice and flame tempest trials!
This theme still SLAPS.
This has upbeat tones so good that it reminds me of Tokyo Mirage Session
I think FEH marked the point where FE really started experimenting with their music styles more and I love seeing where that’s brought the series cuz stuff like this is awesome
Na I think fates was the one to start the trend after all that's the only game where Japanese is the most apparent and since everyone loves the Japanese inspired tracks & j-poply lost in thoughts all alone it's only natural they take risks with the soundtracks
Ops I also forgot the valla tracks that are completely out there for fire emblem when fates was released
This musics fits rythm games so much
Nifl’s design hosetly reminds me of the Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She’d make a nice Ice Blade.👀
Nifl and Muspell will be eternally locked in a battle over who this song belongs to
This really nice it's really good ngl!
And I really love her design
Nifl: You would have Fjorm defy the pact she swore herself to? You are either brave or foolish. Come, then, if you believe you can topple the god of Nifl. I am Nifl itself, and to challenge me is to challenge ice and snow.
*Nifl summoned forth Cloned Heroes!*
Me: Don't f**k with ME, Nifl! I've toppled MUCH stronger opponents then you! And I'll be damned if you try to steal Fjorm's freedom!
I don't know why, but I prefer to listen to this at x2 speed
What interests me most is her rather striking resemblance to Ylgr...
She has the same haircut but that's about it
Isn't the royal family of nifl....descended from nifl? It makes sense.
It really? She is very much different. Her hair cut and a skirt doesn’t give her a striking resemblance.
@@dewott3754 Monarchs of a nation being descended from their Goddess, reminds me of Japanese emperors said to be descended from Amaterasu the sun Goddess.
Okay, everybody. Since there isn't an official name for this let's give this piece a badass name for the ice wolf dragon god of Nifl. Do your best.
I'll start!
"Cold Judgement"
How about
Cold-blooded Heart or Cold-blooded Soul
I'll participate myself.
" Snowfall Extinction "
I will give it my all!
"Snowrace fjormy ice!
Fjorm and Laegjarn Champion alt Incoming
Indomitable will vibes!!
This song definitely needs to be in smash, memorialize it!
Honestly I prefer that they're moving the overall plot forward with special events. It helps a lot with dangling plot threads and introducing characters like Nifl and Muspell who could otherwise not be introduced in a non-awkward way
Nice!
I hope the writers of Forging Bonds are the ones writing the TT and not the main story writers cause then this story might actually be good.
Also wow this music is my favourite Heroes track!
Huh glad someone else notices forging bonds have pretty decent writing in comparison to actual story
I thought Book V story so far is good.
I saw the leaked story
It's aight. But it's incomplete.
Considering that in Forging Bonds, Brave Lysithea, Merric, Lute, and a few other mages are trying to find a way to make it so Fjorm doesn't die due to the rite of ice, I hope this tempest trial ends up being a continuation of sorts to that as well as have the involvement of whoever wrote that particular forging bonds story
Fire emblem, persona, nier music is godly
Reminds me a tad of Indomitable Will from Three Houses, both are bangers
RIP to all the summer bonus units forced to fight on this map.
This song gots a lot of good vibes, it sounds like a boxers intro going into the ring. Absolutely gorgeous music at its finest💯🥊👍🏾
Why am I getting 3H vibes from this? I feel like I recognize something from there…
1. Okay this boss theme is amazing. The piano is a really nice touch.
2. Calvary blue dragon unit with ice wolf form? *Sounds like good eats for my Rhajat.*
Yooooo why tf is this so high quality?
Woahh. Fitting theme I’ll say.
well dang this is a banger... guess i have to start turning on the sound when i play FEH now?
