I still remember the chill from the first time I heard this. You know, when you play through it the first time without knowing that THIS is waiting for you at the very end of the game.
Best FE theme by far. This truly represents Fire emblem in all it's glory, this game was near perfect with only 1 flaw, too easy. Other than that, the story it tells is one unlike any other (for the first couple chapters) all the units have amazing characters except Makalov. The lord isn't a noble hero but instead is just a 17 year old mercenary who became the most renowned person in all of Tellius. I fucking love this game to death and I wanna be buried holding a copy of this game in my hands.
@@jnrosenbI loved path of radiance, it was like my 4th fire emblem game, of course the first game that you play will always have a special place on your heart so thats what happens to me with awakening, its on my top 1 but as im playing three houses I think awakening will go to 2nd place
The fact I've yet to leave a comment on this song is disgraceful. It's Insane just how immensely hard this song goes especially compared to other iterations of the main theme. The PoR OST as a whole is pretty good at keeping it's dial cranked up to a 10 especially with songs like Ike's resolution, greil mercenaries, the recruitment theme, black knights theme, device battle, crimea attacks, and congregation of ambition. But this one is just on an entirely different tier. Absolutely fantastic
Best variation on the series main theme by far. I could listen to this version for hours on end. Just like Path of Radiance, it's just epic :D It's always felt like it's some sort of triumphal parade or some other similar sort of musical piece that would be playing during a scene like the end of Episodes I and IV in Star Wars. I can even see the scene playing out in my head now with the victorious Crimean Army marching into Melior after taking back the city and Ike's advance party taking down Ashnard....it just feels like really celebratory music, definitely a very wonderful sounding contrast to other incarnations of Fire Emblem's main theme throughout the series' lifetime.
What I love about how Path of Radiance uses the Fire Emblem theme is that they waited until the end of the game to play it. With other games, they’re usually played during the title screen, but in Path of Radiance, it’s played near the end of the epilogue before Elincia’s coronation. The Fire Emblem has always been a triumphant tune, but the decision to save it for the end gives such a rewarding feeling to the player after such an eventful journey. In a way, it recontextualizes the song and gives it more emotional weight. Brilliant decision! I recently completed the game for the first time, and it’s now my new favorite FE game. Hopefully, I can find a way to emulate Wii games on my Mac so that I can play Radiant Dawn. EDIT: I eventually played Radiant Dawn in late 2020, and that game is great as well.
***** yeah the new pokemon games are hard to get into when they don't have those old graphics the original ones had. Call me a suckered for nistolga!
stratfx300 It really is, it always kind of felt like triumphal entry music or something like that, like I could see this music playing as the Greil Mercenaries and Crimea's forces march into the city in a victory parade after defeating Ashnard or something like that...this is definitely celebratory feeling of all the variations to the main theme for Fire Emblem.
First Fire Emblem game I owned and cleared was Path of Radiance. After that, it was all GBA games. To this day, I am working through Three Houses, after clearing every other game I can conceivably get to work (4/5 just...dies...). This game set off a love for this series that has continued to this day. And Path will ALWAYS be my favorite Fire Emblem game. To me, the story, cast and difficulty was the best balance.
TheKiss I think the potential OP of Aether healing would be offset by the low contact-time of the move itself. It barely touches its targets, so healing would be negligible. Although I still hope Ike is faster and that Ragnell is ranged like in PoR and RD.
Are we talking about the same Aether? Ike's Up+B is his ONLY move with a very long contact time....if positioned correctly it can trap the enemy for 1-2 seconds.
Still have the game and still love it. No matter how many times I beat it, still gotta play it again. Now I got Awakening to make love the series all over again
This game is the best... 1 - Path of Radiance 2 - Seisen no Keifu (Genealogy of the Holy War - Fire Emblem 4) 3 - Thracia 776 ( Fe Emblem 5) 4 - Radiant Dawn 5 - Blazing Sword ( Fire Emblem on US) 6 - Shadow Dragon 7 - Sacred Stones 8 - Sword of Seals ( Fire Emblem 6)
"Of Course, if I hadn't been by your side the whole time, Victory might have slipped away!" - Boyd, epilogue Lol. Yeah. Sure thing, Boyd. You alone saved the day. We owe everything to you. Then Boyd's face takes up the entire screen as #1.... O.o
I think the game should get a remake for either the Switch or the 3DS with added features from the recent games (like "Casual Mode", voice grunts in the supports [like in Awakening], the character portraits just being expressions and not moving their mouths [like in Fates and Awakening], and improved voice acting).
Really? I think the still portraits of the 3DS games were a big step *back*. Making the portraits occasionally blink and seeing their mouths actually move, in combination with scrolling text instead of just dropping full text boxes made them feel more alive. And no grunts please, not at this point, please go the Shadows of Valentia route, full-on voice acting. If it's anywhere as good as in that game, I'd absolutely adore that.
Laggalot101 For the main story scenes, they could do full voice work. I think the still portraits with expression changes would be helpful, because at least the dub voice actors wouldn't have the trouble to sync with the mouth movements.
@Raegh Also when you talking to Sephiam, the last scene with Elincia. You hear it quite a few times hidden away Half way through the credits: Woah! Fire Emblem Theme!
i like the first part from 0:00 to 0:35. that is probably the most epic part of any fire emblem song except for the middle part of the intro to radiant dawn.
@MapleHero120 You're not supposed to be pwning Naesala. You talk to him with a hawk and then with Reyson and then he leaves. Then you can use him in the endgame!
I like the intro before the main theme, myself. But it's overall a good orchestration.. until we to the second half of the song. Not my favorite theme but it's not too bad. It's got such a wonderful introduction but it doesn't hold onto that badassery for as long as I wish it would.
@oblivionkh18 the one you called simply "Fire Emblem" is most commonly referred to as Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken or Fire Emblem The Blazing Sword, as not to cause confusion. Unless you're talking about the very first Fire Emblem, whose name is so damned long.
kinda late, I beat it already and found it out when I beat it like 2 weeks ago xD. But thanks again for answering. I forgot who was my best, Ike got close, but I didn't use him enough to beat Oscar or Mia (forgot which)
I like this one better then the RD one. I guess it's because this has more sound that fits my taste. If you like the other one I dont care. I like the other too just i happen to like this one better.
I havent played path of radiance but i love fire emblem and i love radiant dawn. You're probably gonna thumbs domn me for this but i like the radiant dawn one better. The song is much more subtle.
PoR is such an awesome game. I finished it yesterday and it took me a whole month! Fire Emblem games are usually the games the take the longest time to beat and this was only on normal mode. But I like RD a bit better because it's even longer and a bit more epic. I mean, you beat up a god in that game. But I've never heard about a secret ending in RD, how do you get it?
I like Radiant Dawn's better too! *High-Fives" It sounds more epic. The sheer amount of stringed instruments in this song make it somewhat less epic-sounding.

Okay I sorta came to find this when I saw my guy Ike in his special cyl costume.
Can’t spell like without “Ike”
I love how hearing this song is basically a reward for beating the game. One of the many reasons it's the best in the series in my opinion!
Coolsye true best game in the series
I like radiant dawn ofc tho at the same time.....
OH WHAT AM I SAYING?!?!?
Tellius games are *L👏I👏F👏E*
it's really the hold theme for seeing how many people Ike killed in your playthrough
Idk lol this rendition of it feels more like “ok they’ve heard this a thousand times let’s try to get through this quick” xD
I still remember the chill from the first time I heard this. You know, when you play through it the first time without knowing that THIS is waiting for you at the very end of the game.

it is also too slow and kinda ugly :/
@@AxeIRad Fair enough
The suckiest chapter was 8 10 and 17
@@mr.nobody7814 the one with the bridge sure sucks. I love chapter 8, it is incredibly tense and recruiting Ilyana was quite difficult.
I love Awakening a lot, but it doesn't hold a fucking CANDLE to this masterpiece.
fire emblem path of radiance introduced me to the series, and though I have played and loved many entries, none has managed to top it.

I remember other Final Fantasy titles have done the same thing with their previous "Prologue" theme too
Dolphin is a good Wii emulator for Mac! That's how I'm playing Radiant Dawn right now!
I want to go to a simpler time
+Commander Rolex Before Weeaboo Emblem attracted all these newer "fans"?
AmericanBuizel it's a long story. But pets just say my life has taken a turn for the worse and I want to go back
+AmericanBuizel Now I like both the new and old fire emblem, just as much as I despise gen 4 of pokemon with a berning passion.
As I'm all for discussions, please refrain from posting insults. Thank you.
***** yeah the new pokemon games are hard to get into when they don't have those old graphics the original ones had. Call me a suckered for nistolga!
Really wish they had included this at the end of Radiant Dawn too, it's the perfect closing piece to an amazing game.

This piece is what all true warriors strive for!
If Tellius would have an anime this should be the opening song

First time I played it I got in love with it.
IKE CONFIRMED FOR SSB4
This was my celebration song. So pumped.
I hope Ike is FASTER in SSB4 than he was in BRAWL.
I hope Ike's faster this game and that Aether actually heals him.
That might be a bit too powerful. Only Ness and Lucas have ever been able to recover HP, and for them it takes luck and excellent timing.

WHEN #FE tokyo mirage sesions was made I was glad to know Ike was just too cool to be added
It's somewhat sad to think this was almost one of the last fire emblem games. Glad we're still able to enjoy this series
This is the best rendition of the 'Fire Emblem' Theme, absolutely epic!
The string really carries the track
i love how you can hear hints of ike's theme from radiant dawn throughout this
My favorite version of the Fire Emblem main theme by far.
definitely! i like genealogy’s a lot too
When Ike appears in CYL version in Fire Emblem Heroes. Boy ! He's even ready to kick some asses !
Still have the game and still love it. No matter how many times I beat it, still gotta play it again. Now I got Awakening to make love the series all over again
I hate thumbs up comments but..... THUMBS UP IF FIRE EMBLEM IS THE BEST SERIES IN THE MULTIVERSE UNPAPARRELLED BY ANY OTHER GAME AND ITS AWESOME
I cried the first time i finished this ... epic game ; i still have a bittersweet feeling :(

4 - Radiant Dawn
5 - Blazing Sword ( Fire Emblem on US)

7 - Sacred Stones
8 - Sword of Seals ( Fire Emblem 6)
Such a nice an unique arrangement.

Eeeeh....best to use, I'll grant you, but I've always had a soft spot for the gruff-but-lovable Hector...

When is this song played, the credits? I'm on the last chapter and I wanted to know when this song is played since I have never heard this song yet.
