@@AtlasBenighted Hey man. Please do my suggestion, they aren't exactly your taste but good none the less. So to let you know what they are exactly, think of them as hyper and DeadMouse on drugs, with good ass Theme, and Lyrics. Well one only talks but one just is from the best Electro musicians combined. I'm not forcing you to listen to them, it's your own merit if you want to listen to them. But can't hog good music too. And 'K vs K' theme is from K series, 'K: Return Of King's' to be said.
About the language of the singer: it's not actually a real language, it's a "mock" Latin of sorts. They mixed Latin with the fictional language of the Fodlan in the game. I guess you could call it Fodlatin?
This is a composition trick I've been noticing more and more to avoid the trap of using just Latin or another language that fits. For example League of Legends theme for Volibear called "The Relentless Storm." uses a "mock" Norse language as the region he's from in game takes inspiration from Vikings.
This song is pure epicness. Imagine, you are stepping onto the battlefield, there is a misty marshy swampland, and pure silence. You see an army before you, lead by an enemy out of legend. Suddenly, out of nowhere...God Shattering Star hits.
@@swordsmancs nah, I would say Verdant Wind makes the ideal _second_ route anyway unless you are really into slice of life, since Part 1 gives off so much of that feel with it's Supports and the main events feel more disconnected than with Azure Moon or Crimson Flower/Silver Snow. I'd say the ideal way to do a perfect full playthrough is either Azure Moon or Crimson Flower first, then Verdant Wind, then Crimson Flower or Azure Moon, and then finally Silver Snow to wrap things into a neat bow. Add in Cindered Shadows DLC somewhere in the mix as well to round things to around 400 hours or so.
"Why is God Shattering Star not in smash? This is an outrage" Well, you've reacted to all three of my favorite franchises now. The other tracks I'd recommend are a bit niche, but as a shot in the dark... Anyone else wanna see Project Wingman's "Kings" OST reacted to? It was an awesome final boss track
Best song, best final map, and best hype generator. Thank you Marianne for not only doubling Nemesis on maddening but also dodging the counter, you truly are best girl.
Fire Emblem fan here! God Shattering Star is fantastic. To throw a suggestion into the pile: Sky Tower from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. It has had a remake, but the GBA version of the song from the original is still great.
Also any of the tracks from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/darkness/sky! My suggestions would be “battle against Dusknoir” or “Dialga’s fight to the finish”
The only part of the lyrics I can understand is when the singer says "Fodra", the japanese name of Fodlan, the continent of this game. So, my idea is that the lyrics are about the bad guys thinking that they are saving the continent of Fodlan by killing the goddess Sothis.
They released an official translation in the premium version of the soundtrack. It's an anthem from the point of view of Nemesis, encouraging humanity to free themselves from "the beast called God."
The fact that you bring out the Silk road makes a lot of sense, since this is the boss battle theme for the golden deers, a house made in majority by traders and commoners and even the leader Claud is an inmigrant in Fodland :0
That theme is really good but overrated imo, dlc bosses themes are all better (but I think first hunter's theme is best bb soundtrack without considering DLCS)
Lyrics that i found from the original video. Arise, you who cannot bear death Raise your heads bravely and take up your weapons. No more wishing for the corpses of your comrades. It’s time to rebel and liberate. Warriors, gather to this banner. Run! Raise the flag! From the beast called God. To take back our pride from the beast called God. Warriors, shout to the earth! Follow me through the wilderness! In the name of rebellion. Let your bodies tremble Let your souls do as they wish Like the wind that blows through Mother Earth(Fódlan) Like the sunrise that colors the great Ogma Stamp it out, raise your voice, strong as a lion. Our cries will ride the wind for a thousand miles. Let it reach the starry shores of the sea. Reach high and praise me, for I am the one who will liberate you all.
Pierce the sky, mysterious artifacts I am the embodiment of wrath I am the god shattering star
The parts without voice basically sound when the troops goes into the battle screen, the voiced ones comes when you're watching the map. it's a really amazing piece of music and makes you feel the pressure of how important that decisive battle is it.
I liked so much your analysis of the song! The examples you named made the explanation more easy to understand (talking about the silk road, the slavics, the red army choir) and more interesting, I actually learned a lot. I was surprised when I you said that the singing voice in God Shattering Star sang in a similar way to Smuglianka (by the Red army choir). You really know what you are talking about and I love that! Thank you for reviewing this song, it's one of my favorites of all time :D
Thank you so much! Actually I picked that song out of many because it had a similar phrasing to the one in the FET song. But you could hear similarities in all the songs in The Red Army Choir tbh!
The song is a broken version of italian but there isnt any actual lyrics. Edit the only actual words in the song is "They All Fight For Fodlan." Fodlan being the name of the continent the game takes place on.
this soundtrack is godlike. "Between Heaven and Earth" always gets me emotional. something bout that marching snare and war drums. 2:25 of that song hits the heart.
Unfortunately that song is only good if you have played through enough... That emotional connection to one or all of the houses, and to Edelgard in particular. Your investment in her interactions and rise/fall is why you like the song so.
@@a-aronander-son5861 oh yeah i forgot randoms know why i like songs for a game i havent played nor give a shit about the characters for. Thanks for enlightening me.
Know the song yet never played the game? Hmm sorry, I don't believe ya. Regardless, don't get your panties in a twist bud, literally every other person who likes the song does so because of their emotional connection to the game. So stop acting like I peed in your cornflakes with my comment.
Thanks for reacting to this!! I love this song! Completely caught me off guard when I heard it in the game! Other really nice songs in the game include: Apex of The World, Chasing Daybreak, and Between Heaven and Earth (my personal fav)
Technically it has lyrics, but the only official translation is from some art book for the game or something. Lyrics (from the FE wiki BTW): Arise, you who cannot bear death Raise your heads bravely and take up your weapons No more staring at the corpses of your comrades Warriors, gather to this banner Run!

If you liked this, I can recommend more music from Fre Emblem Three Houses: The Edge of Down. Blue Sky and A Battle. Between Heaven and Earth. You already been informed about the Rain and Thunder versions of the musics. Both are in the game but used in different instances. "The Edge of Down" is the "main theme" of the game and doesn't have Rain/Thunder versions. Can't get wrong with it. "Blue Sky and A Battle" and "Between Heaven and Earth" does have Rain/Thunder versions. Rain is the original one so pick that. About these two specific pieces, they go and in hand and there is a clear similarity between the two. What makes them special is the context of those pieces and why they sound like they are the same. I could tell you the context, but I wander what kind of impression it will give someone who doesn't know the context. Listen to "Blue Sky and A Battle" first and "Between Heaven and Earth" after for the right experiance.
Wonderful video and very interesting analysis! One thing you might find interesting, but would have missed because you haven’t played the game: At the beginnings of some of the passages, the composer incorporated leitmotifs from different parts of the game! This evokes a more vivid story in the mind of a listener who has played it.
This is one of the Best Soundtracks in all the Games out there. I played a lot of Games so i can tell that. The quality is the same as the boss track from the Abyss Watchers from Dark Souls 3.
"I don't know anything else about that franchise" One minute of silence please Nah seriously, I can totally recommend that series. Great reaction anyway, thank you so much!
Since you like metal, I would recommend Ao no Kiseki (trails of Azure) - Azure aribtrator! An amazing final boss song that you would certainly like And Ys origins - Silent Desert (super arrange version) is pretty good pick too, but there's so many great music from this serie! Both serie are from falcom
Considering the amount of knowledge you have on this stuff (which I am more than jealous of btw), I would like to recommend MARIA from Atelier Ayesha, the song that made me try out the Atelier franchise.
Really great song! A personal recommendation would be Origami Castle from Paper Mario: The Origami King but if you were to pick one then The Final Fold would also be a really good choice.
God bless you Atlas and Mexican Zoidurg for making this reaction possible. That being said, can you please react to Stickerbush Symphony from the original DKC 2?
I love your reactions. If I may I would like to recommend some soundtracks from Assassin's Creed 3. One is called Connor's story and the other is the main theme. Lorne Balfe did a fantastic job (obviously) and managed to make me love these soundtracks more than the other chapters.
A lot of people here have already mentioned it, but you should react to Twilight of the Gods from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. One of the best tracks in the series
Hey if you get the chance, check out the song Salvation off the 2018 God of War ost. Id really love to see you break it down, there's a lot of thing happening in the track and it's got such an epic feel to it. Thanks love your channel!
I'd like to recommend a song lol, "Trails of Cold Steel Greatest Game Soundtrack: A Mighty Power " It's in a way similar to this and imo a super underrated game AND music
This song sounds like Final Fantasy and Dragonforce orchestration, with a hint of Holiness and Skyrim in there, and I can’t help but get the feeling of Xenoblade 2’s Counterattack ssbu remix but GOOD. I also sense some Cynthia/Volo (whichever you prefer), as well as some Pokémon themes in general. Gives off a smidge of Ocarina of Time in some parts as well.
Hey, just found your channel through your FF7 music review. You should check out some of the music from the Legend of Heroes: Trails... series. Maybe Azure Arbitrator from Ao no Kiseki, which is a game in the series that hasn't been localized to the west yet, or Crimson Stigma from my favorite game in the series, Trails in the Sky 3rd (though that one is very short). It's an incredible series and every Falcom game has incredible music from the JDK sound team. Thanks!
I’d love to see you react to deoxyribose or isoleucine from 13 sentinels aegis rim or battle for everyone’s souls from persona 3! Any 13 sentinels battle theme is fire but those two are my personal favorites. Plus it’s fitting cuz your name is atlas xD
People cream over this song, but I think "Funeral of Flowers" and "Apex of the World," the final map themes for the other routes, blow it out of the water.
The original lyrics of god shattering star : Arise, you who cannot bear death Raise your heads bravely and take up your weapons No more staring at the corpses of your comrades Warriors, gather to this banner Run! Raise the flag! To take back our pride from the beast called God Warriors, shout to the earth! Follow me through the wilderness! In the name of rebellion. Let your bodies tremble.

Fire Emblem fan here, you should react to EDGE OF DAWN, which is the main song of this game, also listen to the Smash remix if you can! LOST IN THOUGHTS and ID PURPOSE are also great songs!, they're from the game previous to Three Houses (not including remakes or spinoffs) F.E Fates and F.E Awakening
If I can make a request, any song of the title "suikoden II" can make for a nice video, concretely, praise be to my master or silver wolf can work wonderfully
Aye man sorry to request but you should listen to Kingdom of Predators from the HunterxHunter anime. It’s a very good piece of music. I’d love to see your reaction and breakdown
People here are asking for Twilight of the God as the next FE react. While this is a very good choice, I also would like to see (or hear) Lord of a dead empire. Which has similar male solo vocals as this one but with a more classic and military rhythm.
Hey atlus, the cute raccoon speaking. So react to Yakuza's 0: Reign (Ost), that song is god tier. And K vs k from the anime, those two are technically electro with rap and actual music. Can't explain them.
Glad you liked this track so much! Music from fire emblem is really good :) To explain, A lot of recent fire emblem games incorporate basically two versions of the same song that play. 1, the 'on the battlefield overall' , and 2, when you 'zoom in' on specific battles. In the 'battlefield overall' version, you can usually hear a more 'normal' version of the song, and when you 'zoom in' on specific battles - one soldier against another, or two generals facing off in combat, etc, the music will swell and grow more epic. This video that you reacted two sort of meshed the two different versions together. More specifically, the vocals you hear only play in the 'overall battlefield' version of the song, whereas the parts without vocals play in the 'zoomed in' view. It might seem like it should be the other way around, but it works. If you ever want more fire emblem music to have a look at, I'd reccommend Fire Emblem Echoes's 'Twilight of the Gods' genuinely one of my favourite pieces of fire emblem music. Its an orchestral remake of an older 8 bit song.
Well i wanted Twilight of the Gods but God Shattering Star is good as well. Both awesome tracks from Fire emblem franchise. Since you liked this song i expect more form this series. Fire emblem: Echoes - Shadows of Valentia has the best ost in my opinion, with Three Houses close second.
I agree that Shadows of Valentia has the best soundtrack in all of Fire Emblem. That being said, God-Shattering Star kinda what you get if you mashed up Lord of a Dead Empire, Twilight of the Gods, and The Scions' Dance in Purgatory: epic, seemingly discordant, but actually very melodious, and the eastern operatic tenor.
@@marcusmajarra Indeed. These three tracks, together with Pride and Arrogance And Heritors of Arcadia, are one of the best i have ever heard in a video game.
Worth giving a few shoutouts to some of the best songs of the previous games too, for the sake of time though will just say power hungry fool from path of radiance is amazing.
Now imagine this song playing for +3 hours as you figure out how to finish this final battle with no casualties and sick crit quotes from the characters. Absolute perfection
I love God Shattering Star, but I'm not a fan of the specific version of the song used for the reaction, as that version edits together the vocal and non vocal versions together and it doesn't sound as good as the original vocal version found in the game. This version has clunky transitions and the sound quality between the vocal and non vocal versions even differs a little. Its a minor nitpick and not a reflection of you at all. Love your content, keep up the good work!!!
I was also like "Isn't that Rain and Thunder mixed together"? I feel listening to both versions separately would give a more thorough image of both of them. An analysis as to what both versions do differently and what those differences achieve could be interesting.
To answer your question of lyrics; there are no official lyrics to the piece! People have tried to examine the lyrics and figure out what language it is, most speculation I've seen says it's a combination of languages (Latin and a few others, from what I've seen). Very unfortunate because I would have absolutely learned the lyrics by now. If they were posted somewhere.
I think the idea was to mimic a latin church service. Most don’t know the language but can understand through the intonation behind it. Using gibberish allows the power of the music to shine while not being overshadowed, or distracted by what the words actually mean. I think this makes it more powerful.
Nier isn't the first fucking thing with musics with their own made-up language. Just because you only know overrated garbage everyone recommends to your otherwise empty head, doesn't mean you have to make reference to it for a fact that is otherwise common: that some song writers use made-up languages.
@@powerfulberry237 The salt in your comment aside, I referenced Nier because it is what Atlus knows. If I told him that the song pulls one from a game and music he doesn't know do you really think he would understand the comment in it's full context?
Heya, just found your video in my recommended, I just wanted to mention something about those orchestral hits, this being Fire Emblem, since Awakening in 2012, most songs in the latest entries have a separate version of themselves usually contrasting a "calm" version, called "Ablaze" "Fire" "Wind" "Storm" etc... In three houses map themes play in their "Rain" version while you're doing all the Strategizing and planning of your units, while "Thunder" plays when you made your choices and your units start fighting, the tracks switch right where it's other self left off so it feels extremely natural. Again in three houses the thunder themes are jam PACKED with those hits, every note is a staccato and everything feels extremely percussive as if you could hear the clashing of steel, so what you listened to was God Shattering Star rearranged switching at prime moments, it's an amazing edit that allows you to hear see both sides of the same coin. Just thought I'd let you know, it's something interesting to take into account. Edit: I see a lot of people not liking this version of GST, kinda surprised, it's basically become how I envision the song, you NEED those vocals but you equally need some majestic powerful notes from the thunder version, I mean, at the end of the day that's also how players will discover the song in-game, only switching rain and thunder at different timings.
PLEASE give Symphony of Boreal Wind a try from the game Genshin Impact. The OST from that game is INSANE, and that's one of my personal favourites of the bunch. If you can, I'd also give Childe's Theme from the same game a go. Love your stuff dude, keep it up!
With a Masterpiece of a song like this it was a outrage that this game didn't get even nominated for Best Original Score (to my knowledge) The rest of the soundtrack is great.
You should listen to “The Edge of Dawn”. Leitmotifs from that track are in nearly every piece from the Three Houses soundtrack, and it makes the emotional payoffs in the late game amaaazing. He really built up the themes over the course of a game that can easily take 70+ hours per playthrough, and then hits you with some truly amazing and emotional tracks at the end of each route. You should also check out “A Funeral of Flowers” sometime. The tone of the song is super tragic and it hit me like a punch to the gut on the Church route. Underrated track from Three Houses.
Gotta recommend the beautiful FFX theme 'To Zanarkand', specifically the Distant Worlds live orchestral version, which is the absolute best version. It's not as complex as some of Uematsu's other works but it is, imo, the most gorgeous and emotional.
This might sounds a little out of nowhere, but i would love to see a reaction to The almigthy from Persona 4 (the extended version with the intro), is such a beautifull track
I love this game and this song, the Golden Deer route allows you to face the real threat, hence the intense music. God shattering star is a prime example that good Classical music can still be made, if only it involves talent and dedication.
Glad you enjoyed my song request so much. 👍
It's pretty rare for a track to get your diamond award.
Bro thanks for requesting this
Thank you for the support and of course the excellent request! I will revisit this franchise in the future in the channel!

And Ys origins - Silent Desert (super arrange version) is pretty good pick too, but there's so many great music from this serie!
Both serie are from falcom
13:00. Well, this plays shortly after two nukes hit nearby the area where you hear this song.
Considering the amount of knowledge you have on this stuff (which I am more than jealous of btw), I would like to recommend MARIA from Atelier Ayesha, the song that made me try out the Atelier franchise.
If you haven't found out yet, these are fake lyrics, they don't mean anything in any other language. They pulled a Nier:Automata on us.
Apex of the World is also an amazing track from this game.
This is a ending theme to one of the story routes in the game
Really great song! A personal recommendation would be Origami Castle from Paper Mario: The Origami King but if you were to pick one then The Final Fold would also be a really good choice.
God bless you Atlas and Mexican Zoidurg for making this reaction possible.
That being said, can you please react to Stickerbush Symphony from the original DKC 2?
Bless you too. I'm not that familiar with DK 2 OST so yeah, it's possible!
I love your reactions. If I may I would like to recommend some soundtracks from Assassin's Creed 3. One is called Connor's story and the other is the main theme. Lorne Balfe did a fantastic job (obviously) and managed to make me love these soundtracks more than the other chapters.
Do Twilight of the gods from fire emblem shadows of valentia it really encapsulates the struggles between man and god in a beautiful arrangement.
Lord of a Dead Empire walked so God Shattering Star could run
I hope he does Funeral of Flowers (Rain) to complete the trio.
Can u do sir alonne his song is awesome
Nemesis is happy for this video
You should do Lothric and Lorian’s soundtrack from Dark Souls 3. One of my favorites from the game
A lot of people here have already mentioned it, but you should react to Twilight of the Gods from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. One of the best tracks in the series
I see a ton of comments for Twilight of the Gods and Blue Skies and a Battle.
I totally agree.
you should react to some hollow night themes
Hey if you get the chance, check out the song Salvation off the 2018 God of War ost. Id really love to see you break it down, there's a lot of thing happening in the track and it's got such an epic feel to it. Thanks love your channel!
I'd like to recommend a song lol,
"Trails of Cold Steel Greatest Game Soundtrack: A Mighty Power
"
It's in a way similar to this and imo a super underrated game AND music
This song sounds like Final Fantasy and Dragonforce orchestration, with a hint of Holiness and Skyrim in there, and I can’t help but get the feeling of Xenoblade 2’s Counterattack ssbu remix but GOOD. I also sense some Cynthia/Volo (whichever you prefer), as well as some Pokémon themes in general. Gives off a smidge of Ocarina of Time in some parts as well.
Hey, just found your channel through your FF7 music review. You should check out some of the music from the Legend of Heroes: Trails... series. Maybe Azure Arbitrator from Ao no Kiseki, which is a game in the series that hasn't been localized to the west yet, or Crimson Stigma from my favorite game in the series, Trails in the Sky 3rd (though that one is very short). It's an incredible series and every Falcom game has incredible music from the JDK sound team. Thanks!
"Deep stone lullaby" from Destiny 2 Beyond light
I still think you should react to Twilight of the Gods from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Makes God Shattering Star seem like child’s play
I’d love to see you react to deoxyribose or isoleucine from 13 sentinels aegis rim or battle for everyone’s souls from persona 3! Any 13 sentinels battle theme is fire but those two are my personal favorites. Plus it’s fitting cuz your name is atlas xD
Who make dupsteps in the dark make a esplendit job with him boss music
It would be nice to see the reaction of Dante's Inferno - Cerberus :D
People cream over this song, but I think "Funeral of Flowers" and "Apex of the World," the final map themes for the other routes, blow it out of the water.
Same.
The original lyrics of god shattering star
:
Arise, you who cannot bear death
Raise your heads bravely and take up your weapons
No more staring at the corpses of your comrades
Warriors, gather to this banner
Run! Raise the flag!
To take back our pride
from the beast called God
Warriors, shout to the earth!
Follow me through the wilderness!
In the name of rebellion.
Let your bodies tremble.
Let your souls do as they wish.
Like the wind that blows through Mother Earth (Fodlan)
Like the sunrise that colors the great Ogma
Stamp it out, raise your voice, strong as a lion
Our cries will ride the wind for a thousand miles
Let it reach the starry shores of the sea
Reach high and praise me, for I am the one who will liberate you all
Pierce the sky, mysterious artifacts
I am the embodiment of wrath
I am the God Shattering Star.
At What Cost? from Three Houses is also really good.
I'd love you to listen to The Edge of Dawn, another track from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and the main theme.
If you haven’t already PLEASE react to Twilight of the Gods from FE Echoes, its one of the best songs in the whole franchise imo
Please react, Le Ali Del Principio from Baten Kaitos Origins by Motoi Sakuraba and The Valedictory Elegy from the same game and composer.
Fire Emblem fan here, you should react to EDGE OF DAWN, which is the main song of this game, also listen to the Smash remix if you can!
LOST IN THOUGHTS and ID PURPOSE are also great songs!, they're from the game previous to Three Houses (not including remakes or spinoffs) F.E Fates and F.E Awakening
Now you have to listen to twilight of the gods
If I can make a request, any song of the title "suikoden II" can make for a nice video, concretely, praise be to my master or silver wolf can work wonderfully
Have you ever done a reaction to Rising Sun from Okami?
Aye man sorry to request but you should listen to Kingdom of Predators from the HunterxHunter anime. It’s a very good piece of music. I’d love to see your reaction and breakdown
I'll probably do anime osts soon!
@@AtlasBenighted awesome man! Very happy and excited to hear that!
People here are asking for Twilight of the God as the next FE react. While this is a very good choice, I also would like to see (or hear) Lord of a dead empire. Which has similar male solo vocals as this one but with a more classic and military rhythm.
Now you must react to "Between heaven and earth" also from Fire Emblem Three Houses. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey atlus, the cute raccoon speaking. So react to Yakuza's 0: Reign (Ost), that song is god tier.
And K vs k from the anime, those two are technically electro with rap and actual music. Can't explain them.
i wanna see Kingdom Hearts 2 Fantasia alla MArcia or Dragon quest 8 Heavenly Flight PLEASE theyre so stunning and good :C
you should definitely react to some indie game soundtracks like Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Celeste!!
I will make listen god shattering star to anyone saying video game music isnt real music
and after all this time I still dont know who the singer is!!
MYbe not knowing is even better
I would recommend Twilight of the Gods, but it seems that the comments have got that covered.
The language is an in game one
react to slave knight gael from ds3
Just want to hop in and join everyone recommending Twilight of the Gods, that track is out of this world.
Literally how does every reaction of this song pick the thunder version?
''Does this song have lyrics''- Every person ever
Read as soon as he said it lol
It's actually a very old form of latin, as hard to write as it is to translate, which makes it quite useless.
"Well yes, but actually no"
It’s not Latin, it’s a fictional language invented for the game
@@timklebel879 it’s a mock Latin not an old Latin it is a fictional imitation
It’s funny that you used the word “Apex” when there’s a track in this game called “Apex of the World” XD
Someone tell him about Twilight of the Gods
I did, a week ago or so
This is the best imo
Don’t forget Id Purpose
Or Lord Of A Dead Empire
Both it’s Gaiden and Echoes version are amazing
Glad you liked this track so much! Music from fire emblem is really good :)
To explain, A lot of recent fire emblem games incorporate basically two versions of the same song that play. 1, the 'on the battlefield overall' , and 2, when you 'zoom in' on specific battles. In the 'battlefield overall' version, you can usually hear a more 'normal' version of the song, and when you 'zoom in' on specific battles - one soldier against another, or two generals facing off in combat, etc, the music will swell and grow more epic. This video that you reacted two sort of meshed the two different versions together.
More specifically, the vocals you hear only play in the 'overall battlefield' version of the song, whereas the parts without vocals play in the 'zoomed in' view. It might seem like it should be the other way around, but it works.
If you ever want more fire emblem music to have a look at, I'd reccommend Fire Emblem Echoes's 'Twilight of the Gods' genuinely one of my favourite pieces of fire emblem music. Its an orchestral remake of an older 8 bit song.
Another game that does this, is the boss fights in Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. A game with a really good sound track.
@@elfireii328 Ah MGRR, Can't forget that game. Loved the soundtrack.
Tl:dr of your out of combat controlling your units you get the Rain version of the song and in combat you get the thunder version of the song
Well i wanted Twilight of the Gods but God Shattering Star is good as well. Both awesome tracks from Fire emblem franchise. Since you liked this song i expect more form this series. Fire emblem: Echoes - Shadows of Valentia has the best ost in my opinion, with Three Houses close second.
I agree that Shadows of Valentia has the best soundtrack in all of Fire Emblem. That being said, God-Shattering Star kinda what you get if you mashed up Lord of a Dead Empire, Twilight of the Gods, and The Scions' Dance in Purgatory: epic, seemingly discordant, but actually very melodious, and the eastern operatic tenor.
@@marcusmajarra Indeed. These three tracks, together with Pride and Arrogance And Heritors of Arcadia, are one of the best i have ever heard in a video game.
Worth giving a few shoutouts to some of the best songs of the previous games too, for the sake of time though will just say power hungry fool from path of radiance is amazing.
Fates also have a god tier ost btw
Now imagine this song playing for +3 hours as you figure out how to finish this final battle with no casualties and sick crit quotes from the characters. Absolute perfection
I love God Shattering Star, but I'm not a fan of the specific version of the song used for the reaction, as that version edits together the vocal and non vocal versions together and it doesn't sound as good as the original vocal version found in the game. This version has clunky transitions and the sound quality between the vocal and non vocal versions even differs a little. Its a minor nitpick and not a reflection of you at all. Love your content, keep up the good work!!!
I was also like "Isn't that Rain and Thunder mixed together"?
I feel listening to both versions separately would give a more thorough image of both of them. An analysis as to what both versions do differently and what those differences achieve could be interesting.
Yeah... I am also not a fan of the mixed version as well. The Rain version is way better.
Agreed. Either listen to Rain OR Thunder. Not this amalgamation.
Or listen to the Family Jules cover. That one goes hard.
Agreed. The song just doesn't have the impact in this mixed version as it does with just straight Rain.
The sudden vocals from rain and no vocals from thunder at once makes the impact rather lacking yeah
To answer your question of lyrics; there are no official lyrics to the piece! People have tried to examine the lyrics and figure out what language it is, most speculation I've seen says it's a combination of languages (Latin and a few others, from what I've seen). Very unfortunate because I would have absolutely learned the lyrics by now. If they were posted somewhere.
I think the idea was to mimic a latin church service. Most don’t know the language but can understand through the intonation behind it. Using gibberish allows the power of the music to shine while not being overshadowed, or distracted by what the words actually mean. I think this makes it more powerful.
Excellent song to react to. And since I'm here so early
GEHRMAN GEHRMAN GEHRMAN
Dw I haven’t watched whole thing but they use a made up language
God Shattering Star pulls one from Nier here in that it uses its own fictional language
Nier isn't the first fucking thing with musics with their own made-up language. Just because you only know overrated garbage everyone recommends to your otherwise empty head, doesn't mean you have to make reference to it for a fact that is otherwise common: that some song writers use made-up languages.
@@powerfulberry237 The salt in your comment aside, I referenced Nier because it is what Atlus knows. If I told him that the song pulls one from a game and music he doesn't know do you really think he would understand the comment in it's full context?
I mean they've been doing that for YEARS before the Nier series.
I'm assuming it was to keep the song universal.
@@powerfulberry237 jesus christ who hurt you?
Heya, just found your video in my recommended, I just wanted to mention something about those orchestral hits, this being Fire Emblem, since Awakening in 2012, most songs in the latest entries have a separate version of themselves usually contrasting a "calm" version, called "Ablaze" "Fire" "Wind" "Storm" etc...
In three houses map themes play in their "Rain" version while you're doing all the Strategizing and planning of your units, while "Thunder" plays when you made your choices and your units start fighting, the tracks switch right where it's other self left off so it feels extremely natural. Again in three houses the thunder themes are jam PACKED with those hits, every note is a staccato and everything feels extremely percussive as if you could hear the clashing of steel, so what you listened to was God Shattering Star rearranged switching at prime moments, it's an amazing edit that allows you to hear see both sides of the same coin. Just thought I'd let you know, it's something interesting to take into account.
Edit: I see a lot of people not liking this version of GST, kinda surprised, it's basically become how I envision the song, you NEED those vocals but you equally need some majestic powerful notes from the thunder version, I mean, at the end of the day that's also how players will discover the song in-game, only switching rain and thunder at different timings.
Thanks for the input mate!
PLEASE give Symphony of Boreal Wind a try from the game Genshin Impact. The OST from that game is INSANE, and that's one of my personal favourites of the bunch. If you can, I'd also give Childe's Theme from the same game a go. Love your stuff dude, keep it up!
Give Sinister Toaster a like please!
Please react to Slave Knight Gael Theme - Dark souls 3 or Genshin impact: Rapid as Wildfires - Liyue Battle Theme I
Can you react to Bury the Light - Vergil's battle theme from Devil May Cry 5
Definitely this. Amazing song
I second this!
yessss
With a Masterpiece of a song like this it was a outrage that this game didn't get even nominated for Best Original Score (to my knowledge) The rest of the soundtrack is great.
You should listen to “The Edge of Dawn”. Leitmotifs from that track are in nearly every piece from the Three Houses soundtrack, and it makes the emotional payoffs in the late game amaaazing. He really built up the themes over the course of a game that can easily take 70+ hours per playthrough, and then hits you with some truly amazing and emotional tracks at the end of each route. You should also check out “A Funeral of Flowers” sometime. The tone of the song is super tragic and it hit me like a punch to the gut on the Church route. Underrated track from Three Houses.
Slave Knight Gael next maybe?
Gotta recommend the beautiful FFX theme 'To Zanarkand', specifically the Distant Worlds live orchestral version, which is the absolute best version. It's not as complex as some of Uematsu's other works but it is, imo, the most gorgeous and emotional.
This might sounds a little out of nowhere, but i would love to see a reaction to The almigthy from Persona 4 (the extended version with the intro), is such a beautifull track
You will know our Names from Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is a bop that should be reacted to
Song that plays when you fight an old man
I've never been big on Opera but when it's worked in as an element, I really like it.
I love this game and this song, the Golden Deer route allows you to face the real threat, hence the intense music. God shattering star is a prime example that good Classical music can still be made, if only it involves talent and dedication.
