Solitaire Matt Mercer is so good that he somehow got me to laugh about something Overwatch related. He likes to play as the character he voices and yell the line for his special (“it’s high noon” or something) into his mic and watch his teammates panic.
You can hear Azura faintly start to sing, as if urging Shigure on. And then right at the end before the song goes to loop, they do a full blown duet where both voices are loud and clear -- just like they always dreamed. All of my feels.
@Dominotik Ivan Tulovskiy In-Universe, Lost in Thoughts All Alone was written by Anankos with magical properties that would contain his madness when sung using a piece of his dragonstone. (That piece is the contained in the pendant that falls in the "press start" screen of the game.) That magic is the in-universe reason why Azura singing refreshes your action (and why Laslow's dance and Shigure's singing don't, Azura has the pendant), but it takes a toll on the singer's lifeforce when used at higher potential. That's the reason why at the end of Conquest and Birthright Azura dissapear in fumes, she used the song at the highest power she could to weaken Garon/Takumi (don't ask me why she didn't also die when she does the same in Revelation against Anankos). The 4th verse of the song, the one from the Heirs of Fate DLC, is a secret forbidden verse even Azura didn't know about in the main campaign. She only learns it when dead and teaches it to her son Shigure as a ghost during the DLC. It is stated to be so powerful it could defeat Anankos single-handedly, but only Cadros the first king of Valla and Shigure (who's stated to be very similar to the former, so much that Anankos confuse Shigure for him) could even use it.
She doesn’t die in revelation because she doesn’t use the song as much as in the two main paths, in rev she uses it twice (including the final boss fight). Birthright 5 times, Conquest 4.
@@gallalameblook9911 she knew the fourth verse before her death, but wasn’t powerful enough to sing it to stop Anakos. In the dlc she says how she used it to save Shigure before disappearing.
@iytdominotikalso Is said that after singing the song, the person will use all their life force and die. And for some reason, their soul will suffer for eternity
+Tarian I think he's generalizing the two classes who uses bows, but he could be referring to the class, so I'm kinda torn between the two ideas i just stated.
Just remember everybody This is the same voice as Lao from Xenoblade Chronicles X, Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening, Ryoma from Fire Emblem Fates, McCree from Overwatch AND Jotaro from the 3 Jojo part 3 episodes that were actually dubbed
This is the voice that gave us: "Anything can change!" "You have breathed your last!" and "Because of you, there's only 20 million of us left. That leaves me approximately 9.98 billion reasons for me to want you dead!" and so much more. God, I love Matt Mercer.
So, I didn't notice this at first, but apparently when your units die, they fade away. Like, they dissolve into water, or something... it's kinda depressing
There's always some people who start late though, sure theres the majoritty that play the game at launch but then there's newcommers looking to pick up fates and than may or may not stumble accross this comment
! ATTENTION ALL VIEWERS! IF YOUR STOMACH FEELS AMAZED AND THAT YOU MADE A WEIRD SOUND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO THATS NORMAL NOW CONTINUE LISTENING TO THIS GRACEFUL MUSIC WITH MATTHEW MERCER IN IT GOOD BYE
I don't typically condone piracy but find a hacked 3DS or hack one yourself. I can't stand by Nintendo's decision to get rid of the eShop when the after market prices for these game are already ridiculous. With the closure, it will just get worse.
I love it. I wish the instrumentals were just slightly quieter for the sake of hearing Mercer a little better, but I'm satisfied. The wait to hear the English version has paid off tenfold.
I think they intentionally made the instruments sound louder on the map but when you're actually in the battles, the vocals are louder. That might just be me though.
Lyrics: Shigure: *You are the ocean's gray waves* *You are the ocean's gray waves* _Music_ Shigure: *You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek,* *life beyond, the shore just out of reach!* *yet the waters ever change, flowing like time,* *the path is, yours to climb!* _Music_ Azura: *Youuu are the ooocean's gray waaaves...* *Ahhhhhh Ah Ahh Ahhhhh* _Music_ Shigure: *In endless dreams... countless realms collide...* *hope falls only to rise like the... changing tide!* *but all dreams come, to an end...* *just whispers on the wind!* _Music_ Duo: *You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek,* *life beyond, the shore just out of reach!* *yet the waters ever change, flowing like time,* *the path is, yours to climb!* _Music_ Azura: *Youuu are the ooocean's gray waaaves...* Shigure: *Youuu are the ooocean's gray waaaves...* _Music_ Azura: *Youuu are the ooocean's gray waaaves...* Shigure: *Youuu are the ooocean's gray waaaves...* Whew. I'll admit i didn't understand *Just whispers on the wind*. Luckily *+Astin Samountry* understood it before me. :D
Nice! Now I can sing along hehe. and correct me if im wrong but does anybody else hear the 'waaaake up' from Azura right after ' just whispers on the wind' ?
And to think, this dude is also Levi from Attack on Titan, Kiritsugu Emiya from Fate/Zero, Anarky from Arkham Origins, Robin from Arkham Knight, the main character from Destiny (If a human male), MacCready from Fallout 4, Chrom from Awakening, Ryoma and Azama from Fates, Tanner Black from Infamous Second Son, Kurtis Stryker from Mortal Kombat, McCree from Overwatch, Kanji Tatsumi from Persona 4, Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil, Espio from the Sonic Franchise (2016 onwards), Fei Long from Street Fighter IV, Lao from Xenoblade Chronicles X, and MORE!!!
When the Kanas you play as for like 3-4 chapters per each one are better protagonists than their respective progenitors. I mean they are simple in terms of motivation (save parents) while they retain their parents naivety it isn't obnoxious and as time goes on they become pretty solid due to not just letting things happen. I think one of my least favorite things about Corrin is they just go along for the ride and aren't very proactive. But Kana due to those DLC chapters is one of those diamond in the rough characters. I think they represent the potential Corrin had as a character, which is kind of sad but I'm happy that Kana got some development other than daddy/mommy is cool let's copy them. DLC Kana is literally the embodiment of the sins of the father (as this is the possible future for both Birthright and Conquest). Do they deserve to be held responsible for Corrins' sins? No. Do they deserve the future they desire? Yes.
It's amazing how you can change the chord progression, rhythm, and all other aspects of one song and give it so much diversity. One minute, this song is so relaxing and restorative, next minute it's hectic, panic inducing, and epic
1:50 sounds as if Shigure’s having flackbacks of singing with his mother, then later in the song when they sing together, shes edging him on making him sing even more powerfully
2:31 - 3:16 was my favorite part in this whole song. Shigure and Azura singing and that tempo was godlike. It felt heavenly just to listen to that piece.
This. This is now easily my favourite piece of music in FE history, blowing Door of Destiny, The Final Battle, You of the Dark, Against the Black Knight and many more great pieces out of the water. (get it?) The solo singing is so much more mystical and meaningful in the ENG version, but the song really comes into its own. I listened to the JPN version so many times, and never even noticed Azura around 2:30. But now I hear both her and Shigure clearly. God, that duet is possibly the greatest few seconds of music I have ever heard. I applaud you, IS.
i honestly prefer the jp version just due to liking his voice and azura more. I noticed azuras voice almost instantly so that never actually was an issue for me. then again everyone has their own opinions
Well considering the Fire Emblem series has some of the best music I've ever heard, that's quite a brave thing to say. Regardless, this piece is very good, I'd even argue it's a masterpiece, but to be honest, it's only one of dozens of musical masterpieces in Fire Emblem.
This map and song is better than all of the paths endgames. More strategy than Birthright. Less RNG praying that Conquest. Better map and song than Revelation. Of course, this is all just my opinion.
Q idk about you but I'm always praying for RNG to work in this DLC because it's level are predetermined meaning there no way to get an advantage by lucky level ups,unit building, supports, etc. And I mostly see percentages that in range of 70%-90% meaning it's has a fair amount to miss especially on the first 2 parts because you have such a small army against a large army on a large near endgame maps.
@Koria Borein The thing is though, in Conquest, especially Lunatic, you can level boost via DLC or free maps or Scout maps, unless you're a sadist and want to do a no grind challenge.
for me, i split up the groups so they all fight their own parents (those that actually appear in the fight anyway) for their dialogue, and i managed to beat Anankos by doing that without even losing a single person
TONS of great memories of this game and it's DLC from college. This was my first of the new Fire Emblem games I played 100%, and grinding it with friends was so much fun.
Oh so that’s how he died in lucina’s future. She always said that she didn’t know exactly who the killer was so maybe its just that he ended up disappearing
Azura gave me joyful shivers when she sang. It made me feel happy that Azuras spirit won't rest until she knows the children are OK. Mercer NAILED IT :D. I sang the japenese one with this one
Same here. Future past was just sending you to the future to help the children grab the gems. In Heirs of Fate, you actually experience the story from the children's point of view, you are given what they give you, they put a lot more effort and detail into the plot, and you see the royal children reuniting with their parents in the credits.
Oh. Oh my. I wasn't sure if I'd like this one as much as the Japanese one, but no, Mercer hit a *grand fucking slam* with this one. I can say without hesitation that this is one of the greatest pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
So I hear this song and I'm like sweet! but I haven't played Lost in The Waves yet because I want to meet all the children first. Then I get to Shigure's B conversation with azura when she changes up 'Ocean's Grey Waves' to fit his pitch and a new harmony line.....then it hit me, I rush to find the song thinking it can't be him!? I pressed play, internally screamed, read the comments, found out Mathew voiced him, realized he sang the song, Ran into a corner, screamed and just about wet myself.
This is just a little "What if" I thought of. What if in the DLC, you also had to fight male and female Corrin? I can see it now: They're both the last two enemies that are blocking your path from Anankos with Ganglari as their weapons. They of course, have conversations with both male and female Kana before the fight begins. Lastly, after you beat them, instead of just being silent like the other father's do, they both say "Kana..." then they die.
SPOILERS BTW but the first comment had them so why are you reading the replies?! It would be great. Probably didn't do it as they would look like default male and female Corrin (probably I don't make games I know they pull the name you named corrin so.) but seeing how each one of the children are from a different worlds, so I wouldn't see a problem with it.
That genuinely would be awesome but it’s briefly stated in the DLC that they are the only two alive. (both versions of Corrin.) I recently replayed every DLC too so it was quite incredible to re-experience everything. I noticed a couple more interesting details about the world than before. 🔥
I hate that they didn’t do this idea because the DLC perfectly set up the fact that the children we meet in this mode aren’t the ones we raised so they have no excuse for not putting a corrin in as they’ve just explained that the corrin we’re seeing isn’t our unit.
Say what you will about either game but Fire Emblem: Awakening - The Future Past 3 and Fire Emblem: Fates - Heirs of Fate End: Lost in the Waves are my most favorite chapters in all of Fire Emblem (and if it wasn't for Kingdom Hearts it would be my favorite of any game). When everything seemed lost, everyone dug in their heels and refused to give up. They stand on the very brink before their worlds fall to eternal nothingness. Every single person whether it be parents, children, people of completely separate worlds/timelines, former gods/slain gods, the spirits of those who had fallen and even those possesed/controlled are 100% willing to give their lives to create the miracle of the existence of a tomorrow. Not a single one backing down in the face of total and certain annihilation. Every single one putting their soul on the line so the next person can take even one more step towards their goal. The Fell Gods already won; The end, it's all over. For all intents and purposes, they already lost long before the DLC even started, the old generation already defeated and broken upon the might of The Fell God, but because of their bravery and unyeilding determination, they were granted overtime and one last chance to change a fate already written. A world that should be beyond hope. A struggle that far exceeds desperation. Unwavering Faith in each other to kill the last remaining God. A race to save the world even after time has ran out. Not a single person left out of the fight. Not a single person undeserving to be there. Not a single person unneeded. Each determined to not let a single person more die. They fight at the end of time so that a tomorrow can exist and a new dawn can arrive. Both of those DLC's just fill me with such indescribable emotions and is the perfect book end to their respective stories and games. Especially for Owain/Odin, Severa/Selena and Inigo/Laslow who can be said to be the single thread that links everything together. Three who bore first hand witness to the destruction of their home and family and fought on the front lines to save the world and end the Fell Dragon once and for all twice over (assuming they go with the rest of the team in Future Past 3 DLC) just to abandon their "happy ending" to prevent another world from befalling the same fate and save the children who would take the place they occupied in the last fight. They sacrificed any chance that they had to go back home so that their children could be safe, the same thing that their parents did for them as well. A sacrifice that gave their children the chance to reject a defeat already set in stone and snatch a victory right before the end. A chance given to them by last remaining consciousness of what became the Fell Dragon, Anakos, in order to help his child/children; Similarly, Robin's meddling in Grima's perception enough for Naga to plead for help from an outside source, For Grima to overlook Tiki creating the entire fucking Sacred Awakening Ground right beneath his feet and to paralyze Grima long enough to finish the Awakening Ceremony and strike the final blow. While those three may have not been the one to strike the final blow, if even a single one wasn't there then the situation would have truly been impossible. If Inigo, Owain and Severa didn't get the Fire Emblem Stones then Naga wouldn't have been able to send them into the past or do the awakening ceremony in the DLC and if Odin, Selena and Laslow didn't throw themselves back into the hell that they knew well, the Heirs of Fate would have never have had that final chance to sing this song and put Anakos down for good. Those three dedicated their entire lives to create a impossible miracle not once, not twice but a third time and all that they asked in exchange was to heal the blighted lands of their original world so that flowers could once again bloom on the graves of their parents. This feeling was sadly missing in Three Houses/Hopes and, although to a lesser degree, I felt this feeling at the end of Engage. To be fair though, Engage takes quite a bit of inspiration from both games. I mean, the mission where Lucina recruited, but before we see her, has almost the exact same feeling of a frantic scramble to run away after a cripple defeat as the mission after Em dies and the party is running through the rain absolutely heartbroken while "Don't say her name!" Accompanied it for the first half of the mission and after Lucina shows up with everyone else definitely feels like when Xander and Ryoma join you in Revelations.
Hiers of Fate ties the endings all together. I assume Hiers of Fate Nohr and Hoshido sides are post ending of their respective sides. Meanwhile Revelations... Hiers of Fate is a bad end of Revelations. Where they failed to win the final fight. Which that Anakos tried to spread into other realms to free his alternate selves(Haha Awakening reference clever) which he attacked both universes. Shigure and Azura are from the bad end Revelation timeline and the Nohr children from the complete Conquest timeline where Avatar is canon female and Hoshido children fron the Birthright completed timeline which the Avatar is canon male. Which Hiers of Fate ends up back in a different Revelation timeline where all the children are together even the Kana's. All together the game is great, Revelations can't be redeemed without Hiers of Fate though. Revelations had some unique maps (like the doors map, haha get trolled 1 hp for whole army and an ambush) The child characters feel alot more fleshed out in Fates compared to Awakening as well where all the children can be described as "[ insert character trait] Hi Mom/Chrom! Im here! Hug me :D"
Id Purpose: Needs the Id Return intro to be completely amazing. End of All (All versions): Really freaking good. Nothing can top th- Lost in Waves: Matthew Mercer changed my opinion before the instrumental came in.
Small tangent, I had this and a bunch of other FE music on my playlist for listening to during my art class in high school that I listened to every day for three months or so, so now whenever I hear this song I'm reminded of that awesome class. The things our brain does with association is pretty awesome.
