History AwesomeMusic / FireEmblem

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Fx6cBzlh4 "Trial of Emblems"]], for Marth and Tiki, mixes four themes from both ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight and ''FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'', including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2v5sZsUhAo "Trouble!"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQGB6ewKe0U "Come, Join Us!"]] from ''Shadow Dragon'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYrjrRA-Vuk "Advance!"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoKNlMoOA0I "Victory is Ours"]] from ''New Mystery.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmliOROMYSE "Trial of Echoes"]] brings back [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeU0i5qYBt4 "With Mila's Divine Protection"]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden''.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PC1TjTdb8Q "Trial of the Sacred"]] remixes three songs from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'', namely [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVB62Tc4bcQ "Distant Roads"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv0LbtvcQ1o "The Final Battle"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th5M1MsOJZM "Determination"]].

* The Emblem trials all contain remixes of classic themes from past Emblem games, bringing a sense of nostalgia for long time fans. They include the following:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu0vYCqXicM Roy's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKTMN9zs8Cc trial theme]] is a return of the triumphant and encouraging "Beneath a New Light" with bits of "Beyond the Distant Skies" added.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL4sGwmC5c8 Corrin's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQTPD2bwmEI trial theme]] is a medley of the final battle theme of Revealations along with the three main battle map themes, capped out by the trademark "Lost In Thoughts All Alone".

* [[https://youtu.be/RUKr66uRS7M Conquest/Expedition]] and its [[https://youtu.be/DWHLgEEtqmg Ablaze/Fire]] version. The non-Ablaze/Fire version is already a calm and beautiful piece that welcomes you to explore the world of ''Awakening'', and the Ablaze version is undeniably one of the best battle themes to kick some Risen/[[SocializationBonus Street]]/[=SpotPass=] team ass to (or any of the DLC chapters thanks to a random glitch where the xenologue chooses to use the regular battle tunes). What's more, while it's mostly an original tune, remixed notes of ''the original Fire Emblem theme'' come out in glorious spades towards the end of the songs. Even better; the best aspect about these songs is that they're so good that they fit ''perfectly'' on '''any''' map they're played on. Chances of you getting tired of hearing this song are low. Apparently this song is so good that the Ablaze/Fire version returns in full out of all of Awakening's songs in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and that's not even getting into the song's return in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates the next immediate game in the series]] ''and'' the Ablaze/Fire remix for ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone 2''!

* The main theme from the ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' games is awesome. Take [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXO-nDVH4pU these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVlE8u6Hhp8 examples]], the latter being from [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl]].
** While almost always used at the title screen, ''Path of Radiance'' instead has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUUBC-9iTto Fire Emblem Theme]] in the epilogue. Still as awesome as ever, possibly even more so.
** Ever wondered how the ''Fire Emblem'' theme would sound as a fast-paced rock song? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-7kIIP61Jg Code Name: S.T.E.A.M's got you covered.]]
* There's plenty more awesome ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' music where that came from. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkQXQLPrCqo Strike]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnEj_ovdlic Combat Preparations]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdatWA-pLPg Roy's theme]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNFmoLEnrAI Roy's other theme]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yERQqvP0598 Together We Ride]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yTEoDv7tY4 All]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q098mtAZi2c remixed]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9NuZEzpZlQ in]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BsPSOQA6tY Brawl]], albeit under different names.
* The tracks that were awesome enough to go into Brawl ''unaltered''. The already mentioned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUXkE0rVC-4 Black Knight's theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmSILytn6kY Oliver's theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTJ7V6Gtnu8 Crimea's Offensive theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW7C7-gxy1g Victory is Near]], and of course [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dluQMPNLC8 Eternal Bond]] (also known as Ike's theme).

** From the original, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0MRJFPTJDg "Together We Ride / Come, Join Us"]] and its various remixes.
** ''Gaiden'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeYhwmPYHjY "Encounter"]] and its wonderfully orchestrated arrangement from ''Shadows of Valentia'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Me0gTsjFiE "Unity".]] The latter is perfect for moments such as Zeke finding the courage to betray the corrupt Jerome after being told his lover Tatiana is free, and Celica getting to reunite with her comrades just before the final battle against Duma and his band of religious fanatics.
** From ''Sacred Stones'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA4SrqyNsv8 "Comrades".]]
** From the Tellius games, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZrDyjKtcEw "With Us",]] which got a remix in ''Radiant Dawn'' as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51h8lJ83G10 "Stalwarts Unite".]]

* The original ''Mystery of the Emblem'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Mjps4V2GI Fire Emblem Theme]] is the most complete version of the theme to date, and is a wonder to listen to from beginning to end.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoXTaHtEDOA initial player phase theme]] of the original Famicom game has sadly been passed over and replaced with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong in all subsequent remakes, despite it being ''adorably catchy''.
* ''Shadow Dragon'' and ''New Mystery'' were audible triumphs both in their revised themes and original tracks. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8epqclwcX_M For Liberty]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL2PtYlhGzU A Hero's Destiny]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC6EBybXkR0 Liberation]], [[http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe12music/032%20Early%20Initiative.mp3 Early Initiative]], [[http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe12music/034%20Late%20Initiative.mp3 Late Initiative]], [[http://www.serenesforest.net/media/fe12music/037%20Tearing%20Shadows.mp3 Tearing Shadows]] and [[http://serenesforest.net/media/fe12music/024%20Murderous%20Puppets.mp3 Murderous Puppets]] are all excellent.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aHlvwGjmUM Preparations]] sets the mood as you arm your units to the teeth before the battle starts.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbXRS3_ZwpU&t=74s Forbidden]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOH3Fgcp48M Sanctuary]] is equal parts ominous and amazing. Somehow it manages to fit in the ''Fire Emblem'' theme in the first few notes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLw5RtZyR14 Footsteps of Fate]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSL7DqrCwxI Blades of Treachery]], the player phase and enemy phase music for the new prologue, are indeed quite awesome.
* From ''Shadow Dragon'', there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnPcZgV0tmc Paean]], which only plays on a small few occasions but could easily be mistaken for a main theme if you didn't know better. Its original incarnation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HaD1YH1JOs&t=2s "Chapter Clear"]] is just as powerful even in 8-bit. In contrast to the former however it played after every chapter.
* ''Fire Emblem 3: Mystery of the Emblem'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2BvzGANTyQ Off To War]], which was CoveredUp by the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su74D19v7Ck version]] of the song from ''VideoGame/Rockman4MinusInfinity''.
* The final boss theme for ''Fire Emblem 3'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlUZG5WYqpI The Last Stand]] (orchestral remix). There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMhykdLq1aY “Reign of Despair”]], the ''[=FE12=]'' version, which kicks up the tempo.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rM1f7wLbCM One who Carves a New History]] is one heck of a piece for the avatar.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tViQwXrslLc Expedition]], the theme for when Marth heads away from the erupting war in Archanea to find a way to combat the Darksphere. It's equal parts epic, catchy, and mysterious. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k41lZ9AAQQ The remake also gives it justice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlVVwsfO7zs as does the remix it gets with Holy War]] in ''Shadows of Valentia''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhyDyG8CANM After the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYKE4Jk_XWg Battle]], a haunting track that perfectly represents a bittersweet victory. It is also prominently featured at the end ''Shadow Dragon'''s prologue as Marth leaves his home country Altea, swearing revenge to those who betrayed them.
* From the remakes, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9oXM9iD8E The Proud Commander]], a powerful piece played for lategame high-ranking enemy commanders such as Camus and Michalis. As a plus, it's the basis for the "Clash of Two Virtues".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhD-cz_y7SE Clash of Two Virtues]] itself keeps the player pumping as they battle those two upstanding enemy generals.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me7JkyNO6hU Dark Emperor Hardin]], a fantastic, emotionally charged battle theme against the tragically evil Hardin. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o10vXisPWqo New Mystery]]'' kept true to the original intent, while making it all the more awesome.
* The character themes, which basically remixes themes from ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' and assign them to certain characters. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnFM2IeT4s Caeda's theme]] in particular is a funky take on "Trouble!/Beginning of Each Map".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IldVewYhUnk Funny People]], a base conversation song in ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' that plays during moments of [[HilarityEnsues whimsical hijinks]].
* Exclusive to ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Uhb557ENc Endless Battle]], the Player Phase theme of the Prologue VIII, Chapters 16x and 20x in the main story, and the Assassins DLC. All of these feature Katarina as a prominent character, and the theme reflects the feelings of sadness and confusion albeit with a glint of hope that things will (eventually) turn for the better.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDVXK3c6G_M For Whose Sake]]", the battle preparations theme for the Archanea chapters. Fittingly, its menacing tone makes it ''Fire Emblem'''s answer to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8 Imperial March]]. It was then reused in ''The Blazing Blade'' as "Stratagem".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-KtXn64Hns "With Mila's Divine Protection"]], its ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWSkI10Dts4 Fire Emblem Echoes]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC6LWpe3hKM arrangements]], as well as its Spanish-infused [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HobbRxCW1Q Brawl remix]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7vPM8v-qng The Alm Map 01]] as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKevBb7nXt8 its Echoes arrangements]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcfTHxPliEI "March to Deliverance"]].
* Act 2's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLyshmr4Upk Celica's Setting Off]] and its remake rendition [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MKsTw4Ni0A The Ark of Dawn]] sets the sea breeze and lively PortTown atmosphere very well as Celica and her friends start off their first nautical adventure.
* Act 3's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKyhcZITuw4 Undiscovered Horizons]] is an off-beat remix of the ''Fire Emblem'' theme, which gives an upbeat sense of adventure to Alm and Celica's respective journeys.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2atSwNDI6IE Alm Map 02]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCAfEHiuI6E Celica Map 02]] as the Near Victory Theme when only a few enemies remain. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJzRSxGILQQ Those]] two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPjJVYoY70 songs]] are rearranged and reassigned as the penultimate map themes in ''Echoes'', entitled "What Lies at the End" and "The Sacrifice and the Saint" respectively. Both show how Alm and Celica have deepened their resolve as they traveled Valentia.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_RQarhRWiQ The Final Map]], a very epic final battle theme for a Famicom game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u55JMw5bRiI "Twilight of the Gods ~Final Battle~"]] ups the epicness, comparable to "Id ~Purpose~".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO4qH9DTdp0 The Duma Final Theme]], an awesome but strange FinalBoss theme due to the arrangement being unfitting for a medieval fantasy game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVhKGrhk_Jg "The Fell God's Tempest"]], its arrangement in ''Echoes'', is even more chaotic and abominable but managed to capture the tone and add some, sounding more like ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' music than ''Fire Emblem'', fitting Duma's alien-esque design.
* From ''Echoes'', Berkut's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cqtcHuvcbI Prince of Darkness]] and his battle theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpLU8BI02wQ Pride and Arrogance]], whose very composition emphasizes his classism. His final map theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3-GTKUgYX4 Praise This Despair!]] and battle theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP_HG-cVlfo The Scions' Dance In Purgatory]] devolves his theme as he [[VillainousBreakdown reaches the deep end]] following his DealWithTheDevil.
* Also new in ''Echoes'', Rudolf's map theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Veyuy4kKg Lord of a Dead Empire]], is an incredibly powerful and tragic one, which is definitely fitting for a man like Rudolf.
* The Credits Theme for ''Echoes'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzKptJ9VIiE The Heritors of Arcadia]]. A very moving melody that can be seen as Mila's parting words to Valentia.
* The theme for the Mila Statues, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq58chTiFWI Melody of Water]], is very peaceful and gives a feeling of safety.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_t3PIeM6wI One Star by the Next]], the theme of the Sage's Hamlet, is also a very peaceful tune, but it also gives off a vibe of mysticality different from that of the theme of the Mila statues.
* Exploring the BonusDungeon, Thabes Labyrinth, gives us this remix to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iTOAnVrG68 Forbidden Sanctuary]], only adding to the creepy atmosphere. Which is fitting, because the dungeon also reveals the origins of Grima.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc08Ei_bCcQ The entire soundtrack of FE4]] warrants mentioning.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kWWrTN2uko&t=11s Birth of a Holy Knight]], the prologue's theme kickstarts the game with an upbeat heroic tune, fitting for a dashing KnightInShiningArmor like Sigurd.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtJVBR23spA The Level Up theme]] is very catchy, too! It gives a sense of accomplishment, especially if you're lucky with stat growths.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU8FzCti0q8 Girl of the Spirit Forest]], Chapter 1's theme, is one way to summarize Sigurd and Deirdre's idealistic start in their love story.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtV5diYtQgE Eldigan the Lionheart]] reflects the melancholy of Sigurd's party (as well as the player) having no choice but to put Eldigan down just because he's on the opposing side of war.
** Playing on your emotions is what the 5th Chapter does, and its theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P2Mt2Vh39s Door to Destiny]] doesn't hold back- you can feel the determination, the sorrow, and all of the emotion that the chapter has just by hearing it... and that's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktSE-XAvHqk Not mentioning the arranged version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHqFpxHBhyQ This theme]] that plays immediately after the WhamEpisode also has a melancholic take on "Birth of a Holy Knight", "Girl of the Spirit Forest", "Crisis in Agustria", "Eldigan the Lionheart", "Dance in the Skies" and "Doorway to Destiny" in order as text rolls - a tragic telling of everything up to that point. In normal gameplay, you won't even hear the entire song, because the cutscene is shorter than it. The kicker is that at the end of the track, it plays a segment of "End of the Holy War", signifying there may still be hope after everything that went down the drain.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOAWIs5gb6M&t=20s Beloved One]]. A sorrowful melody for a secluded maiden of the forest, it is notably used when the amnesiac Deirdre is reintroduced to Sigurd as Arvis' wife moments before Sigurd and his party is executed by Arvis' squad.
** May not be catchy, but if [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9on1L2DTSU Julia's Theme]] isn't moving, nothing is.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKWK_waOHFA Fellow People]], the recruitment theme. Though ''Binding Blade'' remixed it, the original version is still the best.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zjXL0fP1MA Light and Dark]], the Chapter 10 theme. Seliph is about to make his homecoming, but a few obstacles stand in his way -- including the emperor himself -- and this theme captures the atmosphere perfectly. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRV4VuOXkJY The arranged version is even better.]] It's so awesome it was reused for ''Path of Radiance''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLl5tu9au_Q End of the Holy War]]-- For everything that has happened up to that point, and the [[BestLevelEver entirety of that chapter]], this song sums it up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p95zwE91clE And the Arranged Version is badass, too.]]
** Arvis gets two awesome themes -- a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLSqiN9MWqA cutscene theme]] and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiKnlT-XZRs battle theme]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRIA1JsgMow Seliph's theme]], one of the most beautiful and hopeful songs in the game.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF_JVm8RMfQ Loptous]] always manages to put one on edge.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxPRAFQIy_w When The Rush Comes]] is absolutely fantastic. It's not possible to compose a better theme for everything that's happened. The first time this theme plays is right after Arvis traps your army in an ambush, wipes out your army, and personally murders Sigurd. Then the game explains that in the 17 years following this, the Granvalle Empire has become a brutal and oppressive regime where the citizens live like slaves and children are hunted down. The rest of the game following this is Sigurd's son, Seliph, leading a liberation army to take his country.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCbgtT7yXKw This melancholic tune]] named after Tine is very beautiful, and conveys the sadness that she goes through in just about everything. Surprisingly, this also plays at one point when Tailtiu spoke with Azelle; in hindsight, it also fits her as well since it foreshadows her depressing death that shapes Tine's shy personality.

* The attack themes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GkMZRd0-iQ both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjSW0NCR8x4 games]]. The former for its sudden intro into a righteous tune, and the latter for its powerful, desperate feel. Both fit well for their respective games.
* ''Thracia'' has a kickass standard boss theme in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLjfJhZggZE Applying Justice - Boss]]. It's a very triumphant, desperate theme which evokes a sense of desperation and climactic feel, which feels in line with the load of rather [[NintendoHard difficult]] bosses.
* Also from ''Thracia'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcjiURw-hY4 Applying Justice - Veld]], a sentimental and triumphant theme that backs you as you fight the final boss, signaling that the revolution has began, while also serving as a mournful sendoff to your [[NintendoHard brutal struggle.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqtHXtbhP6Q In Search of Victory ~ Charge A]] is an assuring sign that Leif will come triumphant in his battle against the enemy, even if it will be difficult.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uyw7c0vdtI In Search of Victory ~ Charge B]] is saved for only the most important of battles and evokes a feeling of finally matching the empire blow for blow.
** Even the enemy gets in on the fun with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1YelWa-9f4 Come to a Trap Door ~ Charge]], a dark and foreboding reprise of the Grannvale army theme from ''Genealogy''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9y5GAWyL0Q In Search of Victory ~ Leif,]] a triumphant reprise of Leif's theme that plays when he must defend his kingdom as its prince after being gone for years.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueYA6N47pb0 Shaman In The Dark]], the final boss theme in ''Fire Emblem 6''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swBy5sWe0Us Idunn's theme]] as a character is a sad, tinkly little piano melody, but when she [[OneWingedAngel turns into the final boss]], they up the ante and redo it ''with a pipe organ''.
** The major boss battle theme: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iax8RsoQfY In the Name of Bern]] as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhwzy4xnbx0 Zephiel's theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzHzdKekoqw battle theme]].
** ''FE 6'' has one of the best ''Fire Emblem'' tunes ever, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NLYxOsNLOk recruitment tune]], reused from ''[=FE4=]'', being one of them.
** After you've gone through some tough fights, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv48anlDq4c Beneath A New Light]] plays, giving you the resolve to face on even greater challenges.
** The map themes for ''The Binding Blade'' are all good, with standouts being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Aqyy-oknn8 Within the Magnificent Nature]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gR05vABiC0 For the Commanders]], and the final chapter theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYLz7ZVEEw Path of the Divine Generals.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j325wVuZge0 Victory]] from the first game, which has been remixed as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIgfilrpU6s A Knight's Oath]] in 6 and 7 and its ''FE 9'' version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeIqZWfVZqY Vow]], usually accompanied by some awesome loyalty speeches. Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUfc4Wel_Dk Unshakable Faith]] which helped create a CMOA in the final chapter of ''FE 7''.
** For that matter, check out the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1yJqIrSg4 Orchestral Version]]
** From ''[=FE7=]'' there's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKloKAo7Evs Companions]] - the melody from 0:30 is absolutely brilliant.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgegq4ZK4CA Campaign Of Fire]] is one of the most epic final boss battles ever.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQrcsfQgnoo Everything into the Dark]] is equally as epic.
** And the good guys aren't left out either. The heroes of ''[=FE7=]'' get their own "epic boss music" - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwVzrO2FpZo Blessing of the Eight Generals]], which plays whenever a character is using one of the Legendary Weapons once wielded by the Eight Heroes. The song is slow, beautiful, sacred; not what one would expect of a weapon theme. However, considering that the theme's very name means that the greatest heroes who have ever lived have chosen to pass on their deeds and weapons to you and your companions, it's an extremely touching and powerful final battle song. And it's yours, for once, not the bad guy's!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKr8CPqqG4c Blessing of the 8 generals II]], which plays when Ninian was revived.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46z8fyQlg8c Shocking Truth II]], which plays when you find out Eliwood killed Ninian. Combined with the autoscrolling, unskippable text, it makes for the best cut scene out of all the ''Fire Emblem'' games, including the 3D ones.
** And to twist the knife even further, if you got an A Support between Eliwood and Ninian before she is taken away, when Ninian speaks her last words, a new, unique theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTu4EbifwZw Shattered Life]] plays, as well as her speech changing to reflect the new mood. These changes ramp her death scene up from "Nergal, you dastard!" to near TearJerker levels.
** The scene where Eliwood's father dies also gets suitably heartbreaking music, namely [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnuTTO8NmBY Final Farewell]]. Awesome enough in itself, but becomes almost a double TearJerker to those who've played FE6 and remember the exact circumstances in which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hcghnufndg the original]] played.
** In the sixth game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXFdaPKUy7E Shocking Truth I]] adds to the ambience with the confrontation with Jahn, as he puts the scouring into an entirely different perspective climaxing at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ017oBjxLQ Shocking Truth II]] so as to hype up the battle with Jahn. It all makes for a memorable final level.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ySo-48ACA Ships and Homes]], anyone?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4JiIcDvkc Softly With Grace]] the perfect theme if you ever plan to be fighting for your mere survival when being ambushed by an overpowered badass swordmaster in a dark, misty night.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Wj8U2W7Eo Inescapable Fate]], which plays towards the last few chapters of the game.
* "Shadow Approaches." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6NcR9YPLh0 Both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mll-qIu21hc versions]] fit the FogOfWar mechanic ''perfectly''.
* How do you know you've almost finished a long, hard struggle? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du_nTi5d7u8 "Winning Road"]] starts up.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ5_1yGPIJA An Unexpected Caller]] can get you riled up for action just before the battle or underscore the desperation of a situation. Either way, it's never unwelcome.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM3D_Suiqsg "Rise To The Challenge"]] from ''Blazing Blade''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wl-USBZk_c "Strike!"]] from Blazing Blade is an upbeat battle theme for when your units attack.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N6qW_eEH4M Prepare to]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAtT530HkFM Charge]], the preparation themes for both games, for their militant atmospheres that give an epic feeling for preparing your army for the incoming battle.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jTXjN7Vy0U Land of Promise]], played as you are about to face the BigBad's [[TheDragon Dragon]]. Sacred Stones' version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFIuIAKVnfw the main theme]] was also quite possibly better done than the main theme of any other FE title.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD-723PrXS4 Rise Above]], perhaps THE best music that is played during P-Phase. Though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuuEeFxRHEw Determination]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af3eaubyEtI Truth, Despair, And Hope]] make solid cases. The first player phase theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvWdBb4z2X8 Distant Roads]], is no slouch either. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYkPbZbb5xQ Powerful Foe]] is used for boss battles against story-crucial bosses, except TheDragon; ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0eJ5txSgoE this]]'' is his awesome theme. And of course, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy6hhdVE4P4 the final boss music]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pSVpN8Mb7Q Ties of Friendship]] is simply one of the most dramatic pieces of music ever put to the GBA.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOk6vtFxK-E Comrades]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqA2O-RpO00 Lyon's theme]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPPSfUR66rE organ arrangement]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r5pK2ASB2g Lost Heart]], the DarkReprise for Lyon while he's possessed by [[BigBad Fomortiis]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNDhxVl6Gjs The Prince's Despair]], his unbelievably epic and tragically short battle theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSW2QgnvcQA Final Battle]]. The perfect track to grant the player just the heroic resolve they need to beat that final boss, especially after the TragicMonster battle just beforehand.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-uJVBnBtwI Follow Me!]] plays only once in the only Gaiden stage throughout the game, but leaves a lasting impression.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGytyQysUKQ Solve the Riddle]] is deliciously [[EvilIsCool sinister]].
* Although Plot Music tends to get ignored in favor of Stage and Battle music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwEHY3Y6TWA Indignation]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tea2St6Z6Jc Legacy]] deserve some recognition; adding that extra little bit that helps draw you further into the story.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AleETEAHPKE Lights In the Dark]] is also a very good song, played for the first part of the final chapter.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQmG6wGMN70 From the Darkness]] is easily one of the best enemy phase themes in the game, if not of all the Gameboy Advance titles.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpz2hmftVCc A Trusted Ruler]]. One of the most calming tracks ever written. First appeared in Path of Radiance, but beautiful enough to be re-used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGboOHhjdfg in Radiant Dawn.]] The latter game also remixed it into a boss battle theme very late in the game. Yes, a boss battle theme - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W26IRMHOefg Wisdom of Ages]]. ''And it works''. It doesn't hurt that it plays for Dheginsea, ThatOneBoss. Expect to hear it a ''lot'' in that chapter.
* Heron galdrar. All of it. For an example, listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52i29gIK7-Q the galdr of rebirth]] - it's less than half a minute long and it still manages to be one of the game's most beautiful themes. On that note, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3_Be1hTKYs Repose of Souls]]. For music that accomplishes a sad feeling ''right after a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome'', what else could they have used?
* ''Path of Radiance'' had more than its share of great tracks. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9FIu7FY58U A Battle and a Beginning]] as well as its full version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2XFM-tyAPw Ike's Resolution]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2XBIKviOBk Congregation of Ambition]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofwT1xh25v8 Crimea Attacks]], the last of which was included in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
** The attack themes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMhiOzOenuk Clash]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDAKjvmj0m4 Decisive Attack]] do a very good job hyping up the battles of Path of Radiance... Even though sometimes the battles themselves are kinda stiff.
** No mention of ''Path of Radiance'' could be complete without [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_0JfNkcClU Life Returns]], played at the end credits.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcRuMGEtTBI Rally the Spirit]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ6ASpA0xcU Bittersweet Victory]]. Some shit just went down, and the music makes sure you know it.
** The character promotion song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQtiSjGb74U Moving Up]] deserves a nod for being pure epic. This song is made even more badass when you actually see the scene of the character you have nurse from the beginning of the game being bless by the heavens to take their rightful place as your new destroyer. For reference look at Ike's promotion scene around 2:31 and see just how cool it is to become a lord. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcLp_CwryAI]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssg-HXg3_4A Father's Back]] is a particularly moving song, full of melancholy and sadness. It plays after Greil's death, leaving 2 orphans behind. Mist is devastated, and soon after begs Ike to not die too, him being the only family member she has left. All the elements are in place for a TearJerker moment.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yReBRItWu0 Side Battle]] is a phenomenal remix of "Light and Dark" from ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. Sadly, it only plays in trial maps.
** In general, most plot-central characters in the game get at least one Leitmotif, and none of them disappoint (and most get an even better remix in the sequel). Take for example [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R41NgD_Rouc Beautiful Princess Elincia]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMVEthy2vFg A Messenger]], Elincia's and Sanaki's themes respectively, and compare them to ''Radiant Dawn''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzzaV51iouw Queen Elincia]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i52rammCH8 Empress Sanaki]].
** The theme for the final boss, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh-eOXkCyoc To Challenge Ashnard.]] As a very difficult boss to defeat, he deserves a theme that ''screams'' agony and despair, just like this one.
* ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Nf_iTHuCE Pray for Victory]], the song that plays on the Preparations Screen in all four Endgames. A powerful theme that gets the player pumped for the final battle(s).
** Additionally, the Black Knight's theme in its prequel, ''Path of Radiance''. The song was made even more awesome in Radiant Dawn with the subtly altered [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfJDbgUDVfw The Black Knight Lives]]. And what could be a more fitting and badass name for his battle music be than [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL79isTPIJU Unstoppable Destiny]]?
** ''Radiant Dawn'' has some standout pieces of music that didn't make it into ''Brawl''. The biggest one by far is the final boss music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvRRwGgNC9s A Grasping Truth]], 9 minutes long and with an epic feel to it the entire time. It does have to be pretty epic to beat out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rfG-G8wSu4 Ascent]], played on the chapters right before it and definitely an awesome track in its own right. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ6WPnvukQ4 Bearer of Hope]] plays during all of the defense missions in that game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oopXymmft-4 Beauty Is A Mad Mistress]] is a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiUC4aXtC3Y Power-Hungry Fool]], the latter which actually made it to ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. [[FatBastard Damn you, Oliver!]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA8OD9LzyrY Finale in Fear]], the main battle theme for the final chapters alongside the map theme Ascent, keeps you on the edge of your seat at ''every single enemy confrontation''.

** You may find yourself humming out the bells of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY7aRxosb8M "On Glory's Wings"]] frequently due to how catchy it is.
** The Daein Army's second attack theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpvFg11Et9U "March"]].
** The Greil Mercenaries' attack theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC4sggBVWUc "The Devoted"]], merely screams epic heroism.
** The battle music for [[ClimaxBoss General Jarod and Duke Ludveck]], the final bosses of Part I and II respectively, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI175DiqrBY "Stalking Menace"]]
* If the Crimean Royal Knights had one good thing going for them in ''Radiant Dawn'', it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfSY1XcxeNI Proud Fight]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1laLbhgYz4 Sorrowful Prince Pelleas.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQDtixJ9uT4 Time of Action]]
* The laguz royals all have their own battle music in ''Radiant Dawn''. Try on Naesala's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nva04nH_YI0 Wheeling Corby]] or Tibarn's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIOie4HWIG0 King of the Sky]]. But neither can compare with Caineghis' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXqUz_n4W8E March of the Lion King]], which is remixed from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpx1EbS8rjU normal theme]].
* Another from ''Path Of Radiance'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKzd28mlqGU A Mighty Foe]], the battle theme of [[ClimaxBoss the Four Riders of Daein]], which wants to make you completely aware of what kind of boss you're facing.
* From ''Radiant Dawn'' there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aFX6xt1mpA The Strong]], General Zelgius's battle theme. Sadly only plays in cutscenes because you never fight Zelgius. Well, you do but as the Black Knight, who also has his own theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zhOtlLxX6I Stalwarts Unite]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F08oX8HaZww Change of Scenery]], which plays during a number of ''Path of Radiance''s later levels.
* After almost two games of hearing bits of it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CifHQc-fz3w the full Galdr of Release]].

* The game doesn't waste any time and right at the beginning it treats us with an awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLIZd7NpTbo Opening Theme]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H9OBB13uJg Id ~ Serenity]], the Avatar's theme. This gets remixed into multiple tunes, most of them awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G873eGiVyVk Let's see what I'm capable of now.]] In other words, TookALevelInBadass: The Song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWO4ff1HXYY 'Don't speak her name!']] plays throughout Chapter 10, immediately after Emmeryn's sacrifice and sets an appropriate atmosphere of sorrow and determination for the chapter. BGMOverride (a trope this series is not known to use) being in full effect only gives the mood a greater weight.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKCl3Vn-EwY "And what if I can't? What if I'm not worthy of her ideals?"]] plays during the aftermath of Chapter 10, where Chrom is blaming himself for being unable to save Emmeryn, and questions whether he is able to live up to his eldest sister's position and ideals. A very powerful and fitting piece for this scene indeed.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUKr66uRS7M Conquest/Expedition]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWHLgEEtqmg Ablaze/Fire]] version. The non-Ablaze/Fire version is already a calm and beautiful piece that welcomes you to explore the world of ''Awakening'', and the Ablaze version is undeniably one of the best battle themes to kick some Risen/[[SocializationBonus Street]]/[=SpotPass=] team ass to (or any of the DLC chapters thanks to a random glitch where the xenologue chooses to use the regular battle tunes). What's more, while it's mostly an original tune, remixed notes of ''the original Fire Emblem theme'' come out in glorious spades towards the end of the songs. Even better; the best aspect about these songs is that they're so good that they fit ''perfectly'' on '''any''' map they're played on. Chances of you getting tired of hearing this song are low. Apparently this song is so good that the Ablaze/Fire version returns in full out of all of Awakening's songs in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and that's not even getting into the song's return in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates the next immediate game in the series]] ''and'' the Ablaze/Fire remix for ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone 2''!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYrCUODorXE Storm Clouds]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUmaUanZVZU Ablaze]] version; hoo boy, do these songs darken the atmosphere (and they are usually played when things get really tense story-wise). These songs remind you that you cannot afford to mess up here while intensifying the battle and absolutely making it more epic at the same time.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6VN6AOo9U Duty]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEuUuA29h-Y Ablaze]] version. It's a relatively nice tune that is first introduced in Chapter 3: The Warrior Realm (fitting for the song's first appearance). They set the mood of some good ol' fashioned fighting and that the fightings going to get real serious, with a real gauntlet-esque feel to it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3R4PE8SMTY Destiny]] and especially its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy039eKE5eo Ablaze]] version. This theme appears in the mildly intense battles. Except that they make "mildly intense" sound "frigging epic", somehow! And when ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' came out, it, too, got a particularly fantastic (and Scottish) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG6FjS8469Y remix]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUTauuepdL8 Divine Decree]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTJO957WvoE Ablaze]] version, does a good job setting the mood for a climactic battle. Particularly in how the music in Chapter 23 switches from Chaos to Divine Decree, once Validar's plan is foiled.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5fSyKUMXEQ Chaos]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x8J-c4cVec Ablaze]] version is deliciously eerie and tends to play in latter chapters, where the Grimleal has the upper hand.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXCZNJAZ0-o Annihilation]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCmRe2PRlyQ Galvanized]] version play during the enemy phases of the later chapters (and most of the [=SpotPass=] Paralogues), where you are usually dealing with more powerful Risen or the Grimleal, which - as one comment on the normal version puts it - combines ForDoomTheBellTolls, OminousPipeOrgan, and PsychoStrings. Chances are if this is playing, the enemy you are fighting is [[LetsGetDangerous not screwing around]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Vd53GnHFo Id~Sorrow]], the reflective and moving version of the Avatar's theme used for a late-game scene where Lucina cannot bring herself to kill the Avatar to prevent the ascension of Grima.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSz1l-0mC0s Mastermind]], Gangrel's and Walhart's boss theme, is absolutely fantastic. The piece used as an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA8UKZKP9wY intro]] for it is also really cool.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bio99hoZVYI Id~Purpose]], the TriumphantReprise of the Avatar's theme, redone for the Final Map and Grima's Battle. In addition, it works the ''Fire Emblem Main Theme'' into its chanting. There's also the theme before that which is used to build up to it: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0SSYBWMbnE Id~Return!]] It's perhaps even better as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8UofnuTjEw Metal cover]] courtesy of Music/GaMetal, which starts out acoustic and then breaks down into awesome electric guitar.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKw0dkJoWHA Monstrosity]], Validar's and Aversa's boss theme. Sadly also an example of LongSongShortScene. Unless you're fighting Validar on any mode other than Normal. ''Echoes'' reuses the theme to great effect; here, it plays when fighting the Creation, aka Grima himself.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyjLmvdVQ4s Champion]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyvzb8nQRyc Ablaze version]], unique in that not only does it become available for skirmishes once you beat the game, but also plays in the final Paralogue, where you get to fight [[BadassArmy Priam and a massive army of mercenaries.]] It also features a musical CanonWelding by reusing some notes from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius "Ike's Resolution"]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkjA2MgsyFw "You have power... like mine."]] is the theme that plays for most if not all of the scenes involving the Manakete, Tiki, and is a beautifully haunting and mystic piece.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqRDSvmfof4 "Don't you put any stock in this destiny hogwash!"]], a triumphant piece which plays in Chapter 23 as Validar's plan begins to fall apart in light of the plan everyone pulled off to defy fate.
* From the DLC, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEGnwP-cXkU Main Theme (Beach)]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGx3PbtBLG4 Main Theme (Spa)]]. Both also double as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} in music form.
* Also from the DLC, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjfT4VBLrqE Id~Hope]]! Plays during the battles against the Future Past bosses who are all affiliated with the Avatar in some way (as the "Id" part gives away). AKA the Morgans and another version of Grima.
* And last, but not least, the credits theme: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwsh4AtCwIY Old Battlefield]]!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT19vPKCGKg "Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey!"]] is perfect music to accompany funny moments, and has the nice added bonus of having the most ridiculously awesome name ever for a musical track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqrCAcoUZ5s The Game Over theme]], despite its somewhat spoilery name ("I've never seen one fall so gracefully") fits like a glove. It is very sad, yet beautiful.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENwFAmeWEYk "Lost In Thoughts All Alone"]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2pO3a7CZqA "if ~ hitori omou"]] in the Japanese version) is well liked across the whole fandom, and the singers for both the English and Japanese versions sound very impressive, making for a very memorable tune. The song has multiple variants and its instrumental serves as part of the main theme of Fates. Including some parts of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCv69W-EGIs first Crisis theme]] also helps.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQIoBgSbH5k Ties That Bind,]] Fates' awesome opening theme. It also includes a passage of the Fire Emblem theme, amazingly enough.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9J0_RYhWMw "End]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVKrpiphCuo of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOEvNOM4DI All"]] is a focused, yet calm theme used for the final battles of the game, with the lyrics of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" interspersed throughout. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4DH-HGEdk The two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_A9az2xy3U Shigure versions]] (by Creator/YoshimasaHosoya and Creator/MatthewMercer respectively), which play during the last chapter of the Heirs of Fates DLC, manage to sound both quite similar and different to the original at the same time, and integrate some part of the original. And as a bonus, the fans found out that Matt Mercer has a shockingly beautiful singing voice...
* "Desire Below", the theme of the Hidden Truths DLC, which tells of how Inigo, Severa, and Owain ended up in Nohr. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEkCs8Wavpc map theme]] is rather mysterious, fitting with the multitude of Invisible Soldiers you have to fight, and it also has a rather calming piano that plays throughout the whole song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19DNXk8TN0A The battle theme]], on the other hand, takes the previously calm map theme and makes it go completely nuts, with electronic riffs and a fast-paced percussion that makes battles all the more tense.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJ-iFIIHOQ Road Taken]]" is this game's equivalent to the Conquest track from ''Awakening'', playing on skirmish maps. It is one of the calmest and loveliest pieces in the game, while its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94gLmK80ew0 battle variant]] makes for an energetic and wonderful fight theme.
* "[[https://youtu.be/5K8Mm8XaHKA Dusk Falls (Fire)]]" Is one of the first battle tracks in the game and takes some very Irish or Scottish sound cues since it serves as a theme during the Avatar's time as a Nohrian. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_oomFeVuMQ Its map variant]] isn't half bad either.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVwMGElwAWE Thorn in You]]" is this game's "Don't speak her name!", played in Chapter 6, ''Birthright'' Chapter 26 and ''Conquest'' Chapter 25. True to its name, it's a [[TearJerker heartbreaking piece]] that will make you regret choosing one kingdom over the other. Its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LCQ3N4a4fg Roar version]] turns it into SadBattleMusic, and it's especially fitting as it plays when you fight [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption (and have to kill)]] either eldest brother.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBQFNUJ8s2A A Dark Fall]]" is played during the final invasion of Hoshido in ''Conquest''. An intense and highly tragic and somber theme that perfectly captures both the atmospheric state of how despite being the ones who were trying to defend their homeland for the beginning, Hoshido is now losing the war against Nohr, and the emotional and mental state the Avatar is going through as they have to fight their Hoshido siblings one by one as they are all sad, angry, and/or confused of how could this tragedy be happening despite the Avatar's reasons for doing so. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQxUS9Ium24 Fire]] version cranks both the intensity and sadness up to eleven. Not to say that this song doesn't fit in Chapter 17 of Revelation, either. However, it is put in a more cathartic sense as Xander and Leo show up in a BigDamnHeroes moment along with their retainers as well. Imagine this for one moment: all of your beloved Hoshidan ''AND'' Nohrian siblings come together to face down the army of the fiend that made your life a living hell in Conquest (given that you played through it to the end). Although the danger and desperation are still there, it doesn't turn down the feeling of awesomeness. The lightning in the background also helps as well.
* The ''Birthright'' counterpart of "A Dark Fall", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA6IVBtUx1w Alight]], which first plays when the group is fighting Camilla for the second time, this time in Windmire's sewers, isn't too bad either. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqvM63tUz2Q Its Storm variation]], which played during the E3 trailer, cranks both the emotion and intensity to an extreme degree and end up turning the rather peaceful song into a powerful and emotional one, with some heavy ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' vibes.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwtmINMFAGU You of the Dark",]] the Nohr sibling boss theme, is one of the most epic themes in the game. There's something amazing about bagpipes and Irish flutes, isn't it? The Hoshido sibling boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDk2N42FBn8 You of the Light,]] is pretty amazing as well.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1f9CRJisnE Dark Wastes]]" is played during the first few chapters of ''Conquest'', and carries an uneasy tone that puts you in the correct mindset for the ''Conquest'' route, carefully considering every move and the potential consequences of a wrong decision. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Z3oOgP1Fw Fire]] variant is very good in its own right as a battle theme.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYIQBkJRR8 No Justice]]" plays in several chapters where your army is attacked by the opposing army no matter which kingdom you choose, and like the name says, it gives the feeling that there won't be justice. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYIQBkJRR8 Fire version]] ups the ante and turns it into an intense, but melancholic piece.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-RZpoiSFpk Justice RIP]]", the Hoshidan equivalent of "No Justice", is an amazing ''Okami''-esque tune that greatly captures the essence of being attacked by Hoshidan strangers. The standard one is quite relaxing, but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah_n2aYQpVo Storm version]] ramps it up into a thrilling, intense and most of all, amazing battle theme.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZBqQ_3oOho Past Below]]" and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJAksG6wIBA Flow]] variant are played during your first trips into Valla in ''Conquest'' and ''Revelation'' and have a very different sound to what is normally heard elsewhere in the game, being otherworldly, mysterious, and threatening.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecSWN97yd8Y Destiny By Blood]]", the encounter theme for Arete, Mikoto, and Sumeragi in ''Revelation''. The tense music signaling a battle of the family of the Hoshidan cast including Azura's mother with all of the royal family members deceased and now made into undead puppets of Anankos.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGokI2L1gwM Far Away]]", the map theme for the first part of the last chapter in ''Birthright'' and for the second-to-last chapter in ''Revelation''. In the same maps, the boss theme for [[BigBad King Garon]] and Anankos!Gunter, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrLR3uYW0uU Lost King's Supper.]] It really conveys the feel that the Nohrian King isn't a pushover, who can and WILL wreck you.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diEQtm9ULG4 Glory/Ruin]]", the map theme for the penultimate chapter in ''Conquest'' and ''Revelation''. A dark, twisted and most of all, intense piece that is highly reminiscent of Chaos from ''Awakening'', it's perfect for the final stretch before the final battle in their respective paths. Also Garon as an Empty Vessel and Anankos' boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr_eYcnSHX8 Fantastical Feast]]. It has a similar "despair" feel to Garon's boss theme, which makes extra sense since it plays when you're fighting his Empty Vessel form, and his god Anankos.
* From the ''Heirs of Fate'' DLC, there's the boss theme of the "Vallite" children characters, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9N6yNvwhdY Temporal Dreams]]". It sounds tense, yet hopeful with a truly ''amazing'' piano playing throughout, highlighting the situation that the protagonists are stuck in during the DLC.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCa1Vl8deYA Destiny, Help Us]]", the preparations screen theme for the Endgame chapters of each route, conveys a feeling of hope and determination that suits as the Avatar and their army prepare for the final battle, [[NintendoHard which is certainly going to be tough,]] particularly in ''Conquest''.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpM1t1XyW1I Endless Nightmare]]" is, like the name says, a very stress-inducing theme, but it's absolutely fitting for those moments where you're panicking as your units are likely about to die in [[{{Permadeath}} Classic Mode]], or in Casual Mode if you only have one unit left on the battlefield. [[NintendoHard And trust us, given the game's nature, you're gonna hear this A LOT, especially on Lunatic difficulty.]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urEDhIHywZA Path of the Hero King]]", Marth's amiibo battle theme, and an epic remix of "Strike!" from ''[=FE1=]''. It also appears in ''Shadows of Valentia''.
* The GameOver theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz6fF1w1_Fs Lament]]". Much like the one from ''Awakening'', it's very sad, yet beautiful. It hits especially since it's used in several death scenes, like Mikoto's in Chapter 5 or Elise's in Birthright Chapter 26 (which also carries as the preparations theme for that chapter).
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUsXjKy1blQ Condemnation]]" is a wonderfully catchy Celtic tune that instantly gets the blood pumping during fights against playable non-royal Nohrians, including Scarlet.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJCq_hnFZyk_wY The Edge of Dawn]]" marks the newest entry in the series' growing list of [[AwardBaitSong Award-Bait Songs]], with both English and Japanese versions leaving an impression on fans. It wouldn't sound at all out of place as an OP or insert song for ''Anime/GuiltyCrown''. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euRWH44pnHs The Maiden of Hresvelg]]" is a faster-paced version with a stronger dubstep focus that was used for the E3 2018 animated intro, which can play if the player idles on the main menu long enough. While the full official version is only in Japanese, fan edits have tried to work out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9l0LGrW-s an English version]]. The official full English version of the song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSXuM2v0YLY The Edge of Dawn (Seasons of Warfare)]]", was finally released a few months after the game's release, as a single on iTunes on December 4, 2019.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt4iOA2-Aog "The Spirit Dais"]], a mysterious-sounding track with [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Japanese Chanting]] that highlights not only Sothis's divine nature, but also how mysterious she is even to herself. This leitmotif is repeated in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nlvJvAbr7k "Awakening"]] (the ''awe-inspiring'' reprise that plays when Byleth fuses with Sothis and cuts their way out of an accursed dark realm) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0KjljX4Lqg "Apex of the World".]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jkLO4_a830 "Blue Skies and a Battle"]], the battle theme for the epic, yet friendly MeleeATrois between the three houses in Chapter 7's "Battle of the Eagle and the Lion". Punctuated by dubstep beats, this song plays over what is your largest battle at that point in the story. Five years later, the MeleeATrois would be reprised mercilessly in a bitter reunion, with none of the friendly rivalry in sight. For this, [[https://streamable.com/e5dlf "Between Heaven and Earth"]] forsakes the dubstep beats of "Blue Skies and a Battle" and replaces them with the full might of the chorus, rivaling ''Shadows of Valentia'''s "Twilight of the Gods" in sheer grandeur.
* While it only plays for a few chapters, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQHKQqCKCko "Tearing Through Heaven"]] helps prove that mixing electronic genres with traditional ''Fire Emblem'' music was a great idea, as it takes a triumphant horn and strings track and amps it up with a driving drum line.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g809ScoBs0s "Verge of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Xb5HvwtKk Death"]] plays during encounters with the more dangerous enemies or major villains, indicating how dangerous the fight will be to the character.

* As for the other S-Support endings, you're treated to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-cMua6qGqU A Place To Rest]], an oboe-heavy piece that's perfect for declaring your love to someone. Bonus points for being a remix of [[https://youtu.be/FSP9bPRDGHw Teatime Joy]], [[LoveTheme which you'll hear whenever you're building support points]] [[FridgeBrilliance with the object of your affections.]]

* Unlike the other routes, Crimson Flower has its own credits them in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGsABaoMcEE The Color of Sunrise]], a soft piano version of "The Edge of Dawn". This is not only very beautiful, but it's symbolic as unlike the other routes, we joined Edelgard's side and she now has no regrets over what could've been.

* The Golden Deer FinalBoss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLkyG1QN04&t=54m28s "God-Shattering Star",]] begins with a startling operatic tenor, a DarkReprise of Nemesis' {{Leitmotif}} from the intro cutscene, and escalates into an epic aria. Between the dynamic vocal performance and equally dynamic tribal drums, it pushes the boundaries of what a final boss theme in a ''Fire Emblem'' game can be. It's far from surprising, then, that a massive contingent of fans have declared "God-Shattering Star" to be the best final boss theme of '''the entire series'''. The voice of Claude himself, Joe Zieja, hijacks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhWhTbe3MWk God-Shattering Star]] with his own powerful vocal rendition, turning it into Claude's own song for the final battle of his route.[[note]]Which, incidentally, ''Heroes'' also makes the case for, as "God-Shattering Star" played not in the final boss's Grand Hero Battle, but Claude's Legendary Hero Battle.[[/note]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLkyG1QN04&t=50m1s "Apex of the World"]], the FinalBoss theme for both Black Eagles and Blue Lions, is no slouch either. It takes the central musical ideas at the heart of the main theme and cranks the intensity up to create something truly special. The track effortlessly segues into a section of "Fódlan Winds", which, given the context of the battle, will probably make you cry.
* The Church Route's FinalBoss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLkyG1QN04&t=58m31s "A Funeral of Flowers"]], [[RuleOfThree follows in the footsteps of "Don't Speak Her Name" and "Thorn in You"]] as ''Three Houses'''s somber orchestral map theme. While it may lack in bombast compared to "Apex of the World" and "God-Shattering Star", "Funeral" brilliantly uses segments of Rhea's Theme and Sothis's Lullaby to underscore the fact that you're performing a mercy killing. A haunting piano line and top-notch orchestration make it even better.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOqkepd22ZA "Scales of the Goddess"]] plays in the Monastery post-TimeSkip and the bells perfectly capture the melancholy mood of the second half of the game. It also strikes a nice balance between the light-hearted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrFQZrkRSbM Life At Garreg Mach Monastery]] and the depressing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkhZ9QR3S9g Broken Routine]].

* From the Cindered Shadows DLC comes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnJXJiAqpyU "The Shackled Wolves"]], a triumphant and blaring battle theme that perfectly encapsulates the Ashen Wolves. With booming drums and trumpets, and a beautiful piano piece underscoring its epicness, it's nothing less than a grand introduction to the expansion.
* The final boss track for Cindered Shadows, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYPF2qIfn9Y "At What Cost?"]]. A fast-paced orchestral song that starts with a OneWomanWail, it transitions to a [[OminousLatinChanting deep choir]] with marching drums and a deep organ in the background. In the middle of the track, the piano that comes out marks a transition from [[BodyHorror the terror]] [[NightmareFuel brought by the]] FinalBoss, to [[TearJerker the undercut of]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil Aelfric's efforts]] to bring back the one he loved [[AllForNothing becoming true to the song's title]].

* Kicking things off is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bVCcFooK0 The Edge of Dawn]]'s remix, giving a nice rocking banger to an excellent piece of music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvR9Jcv_rhs Shambhala]] returns in all of its dubstep glory with an additional piece from The Spirit Dias.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko_60_-Ic90 "Heat Cracking"]] the Book II boss battle theme, mostly for being just so damn ''epic''. It also plays during battles against Loki, and the Røkkrs that she summons.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGa-rEysTag "Lucid Dream"]], the Book IV map theme, manages to orchestrate an whimsical yet adventurous fairy tale theme, as the Heroes struggle to escape from the realm of nightmares.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWwYOhgc7ZI "Fairy Waltz"]] is a tune that wouldn't be out of place in a ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' game. The music track is a gentle, dreamy waltz with a hint of unease to it, perfectly capturing the friendly yet mischievous fairies that dwell within the realm of dreams.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTqeFI0yMMI "Howling Gears"]], the Book V map theme, brings an electronic soundtrack with industrial beats added to highlight the mechanical nature of the Niðavellir, which can get you pumped during the battle against the forces of Niðavellir. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGWIV-4Ipiw The version of the song that plays in the Book V Intro movie]] also adds some MickeyMousing regarding the actions of the characters in the movie, and in an epic way.

* The Noble Lady of Caelin History Mode map features an orchestral arrangement of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'''s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZDbiXi55-E Winds Across the Plains]]". It's very easy for players who got into the series with that title to just sit back and listen.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BehWJYCtyio This Precious World]]", the theme of the game's FinalBoss Velezark, incorporates the final boss themes of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Shadow Dragon]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'' into a fast-paced rock medley while still being an intense piece on its own.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-LNjI5NEBo Resolute Heart]]", the triumphant theme that plays when the tables turn in the Aytolisian Army's favor during Story Mode, and on certain History Mode maps. The song is empowering, giving a strong sense of victory.
* The game also has several excellent remixes of older tunes. Stand-out tracks include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeuLTRsvcLE Chaos (Hellish Blaze)]]" from ''Awakening'' and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWTJ4e6jLI0 Road Taken (Roar)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYQhy3AoaV0 No Justice (Hoshidan Fire)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOKTACYdY1s Justice RIP (Nohrian Storm)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b51zhUOlKfk Alight (Hoshidan Wind)]]", and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50AuyTvN5w0 A Dark Fall (Nohrian Fire)]]" from ''Fates''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT19vPKCGKg "Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey!"]] is a perfect music to accompany funny moments, and has the nice added bonus of having the most ridiculously awesome name ever for a musical track.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ "Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey!"]] is a perfect music to accompany funny moments, and has the nice added bonus of having the most ridiculously awesome name ever for a musical track.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEu4kAWhQQ Id ~ Serenity]], the Avatar's theme. This gets remixed into multiple tunes, most of them awesome.

* A completely new piece, [[https://youtu.be/vdtYCDxSLtI The Ashen Demon,]] is used when confronting Byleth in battle.
* Each of the routes’ FinalBoss gets an appropriately awesome theme:
** Scarlet Blaze gets a remix of “A Funeral For Flowers” in both [[https://youtu.be/L5KuhsqdM_4 Inferno]] and [[https://youtu.be/rrQrqgfYaIM Embers]] varieties.
** Azure Gleam gets a remix of Apex Of The World” in both [[https://youtu.be/-ihogQLAstY Inferno]] and [[https://youtu.be/I3w9qz_I65A Embers]] varieties.
** Golden Wind, rather than a remix of an old theme, gets an entirely new theme: “Melody of Clarity” in both [[https://youtu.be/vZB-8wEQrh4 Inferno]] and [[https://youtu.be/AdVpDAw9Vig Embers]] varieties.

* A completely new piece, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh7gyF7iDYI The Ashen Demon,]] is used when confronting Byleth in battle.

%%* A completely new piece, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh7gyF7iDYI The Ashen Demon,]] is used when confronting Byleth in battle.
%%What's awesome about it? This is zero-context as written.

* While ''Heroes'' reuses a lot of music from other ''Fire Emblem'' games, it still manages to sneak in some great original music, such as [[https://youtu.be/0j5R1t8wykI Veronica's battle theme]] and [[https://youtu.be/zV7u8zN3tN8 a remix of Together We Ride]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko_60_-Ic90 The Múspell boss battle theme]], mostly for being just so damn ''epic''. It also plays during battles against Loki, and the Røkkrs that she summons.
* [[https://youtu.be/2ABJiBDlHcQ The Book III Boss Theme]] is a completely unexpected lyrical death metal track. It goes completely against everything you'd expect from a ''Fire Emblem'' music piece, and it is ''awesome''. For bonus points, the lyrics of the song were an early bird spoiler for Lif and Thrasir's motivations in Book III.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGWIV-4Ipiw The music that plays in the Book V Intro movie]] brings an electronic soundtrack with industrial beats added to highlight the mechanical nature of the Niðavellir, while also MickeyMousing the actions of the characters in the movie, and in an epic way. The extended version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTqeFI0yMMI Howling Gears]], is the map theme for the Niðavellir and Jötunheimr opponents, and it makes you pumped against the battle against them.

* [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/feheroes_gamepedia_en/images/1/16/Bgm_menu_mjollnir.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20191205060901&format=original The Mjölnir's Strike menu theme]] is nothing short of epic with its tense mood. One thing that stands out is that thunderclaps are a part of the song, accompanying the beat of the tune to show off how menacing the god of war Thórr can be with her power of lightning.

* The game also has several excellent remixes of older tunes. Stand-out tracks include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMD9jpTZl8Q Chaos (Hellish Blaze)]]" from ''Awakening'' and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWTJ4e6jLI0 Road Taken (Roar)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYQhy3AoaV0 No Justice (Hoshidan Fire)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOKTACYdY1s Justice RIP (Nohrian Storm)]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b51zhUOlKfk Alight (Hoshidan Wind)]]", and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50AuyTvN5w0 A Dark Fall (Nohrian Fire)]]" from ''Fates''.

The ''Three Houses'' soundtrack combines EDM/dubstep with traditional orchestral elements, which makes it [[LaterInstallmentWeirdness radically different from anything else on this page]]. Against all odds, it works spectacularly.

* You'll be hearing [[https://webrecorder.io/_embed/InvisibleWater/avgm/20190901225330/https://www.youtube.com/embed/fAS7wlP0824 "Fódlan Winds"]] (the first map theme) and [[https://streamable.com/5ee8f "Tempest of Seasons"]] (the paralogue map theme) '''a lot''' during the first few hours of the game, so it's a good thing that both of them kick serious ass. "Fódlan Winds" perfectly captures the tense ebb and flow of turn-based tactical warfare thanks to EDM elements moving in and out of the piece. "Tempest of Seasons", on the other hand, could easily be mistaken as a track from ''Awakening'' or ''Fates''... at least until the synths come in with a hard-hitting bass-line.

* While it only plays for a few chapters, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQHKQqCKCko "Tearing Through Heaven"]] helps prove that mixing EDM with traditional ''Fire Emblem'' music was a great idea, as it takes a triumphant horn and strings track and amps it up with a driving drum line.

* No EDM/dubstep to be found in [[https://streamable.com/4h0dc "Somewhere to Belong"]], a gorgeous and utterly romantic piano/cello duet used during a few cutscenes. Many lamented the fact that it's used in a grand total of '''four''' S-support endings, especially when two of those endings -- Gilbert and Alois -- are platonic.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUKr66uRS7M Conquest/Expedition]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWHLgEEtqmg Ablaze/Fire]] version. The non-Ablaze/Fire version is already a calm and beautiful piece that welcomes you to explore the world of ''Awakening'', and the Ablaze version is undeniably one of the best battle themes to kick some Risen/[[SocializationBonus Street]]/[=SpotPass=] team ass to (or any of the DLC chapters thanks to a random glitch where the xenologue chooses to use the regular battle tunes). What's more, while it's mostly an original tune, remixed notes of ''the original Fire Emblem theme'' come out in glorious spades towards the end of the songs. Even better; the best aspect about these songs is that they're so good that they fit ''perfectly'' on '''any''' map they're played on. Chances of you getting tired of hearing this song are low. Apparently this song is so good that the Ablaze/Fire version returns in full out of all of Awakening's songs in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and that's not even getting into the song's return in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates the next immediate game in the series]] ''and'' the Ablaze/Fire remix for ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone 2''!

* The Golden Deer FinalBoss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLkyG1QN04&t=54m28s "God-Shattering Star",]] begins with a startling operatic tenor, a DarkReprise of Nemesis' {{Leitmotif}} from the intro cutscene, and escalates into an epic aria. Between the dynamic vocal performance and equally dynamic tribal drums, it pushes the boundaries of what a final boss theme in a ''Fire Emblem'' game can be. It's far from surprising, then, that a massive contingent of fans have declared "God-Shattering Star" to be the best final boss theme of '''the entire series'''. The voice of Claude himself, Joe Zieja, hijacks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhWhTbe3MWk God-Shattering Star]] with his own powerful vocal rendition, turning it into Claude's own song for the final battle of his route. [[note]]Which, incidentally, ''Heroes'' also makes the case for, as ''God-Shattering Star'' played not in the final boss's Grand Hero Battle, but Claude's Legendary Hero Battle. [[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueYA6N47pb0 Shaman In The Dark]], the final boss theme in ''Fire Emblem 6''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swBy5sWe0Us Idunn's theme]] as a character is a sad, tinkly little piano melody, but when she [[OneWingedAngel turns into the final boss]], they take it UpToEleven and redo it ''with a pipe organ''.

* Edelgard's assault on Garreg Mach Monastery starts with an all-out OrchestralBombing thanks to [[https://streamable.com/2czad "Roar of Dominion"]]. Violin solos, an EtherealChoir, downward arpeggios, church bells, and yes -- several synthesizer embellishments -- make for one hell of a battle theme. The synths and percussion go UpToEleven during the equally awesome [[https://streamable.com/3q5sz Thunder version]], which channels Music/HiroyukiSawano in the best possible way.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLkyG1QN04&t=50m1s "Apex of the World"]], the FinalBoss theme for both Black Eagles and Blue Lions, is no slouch either.
