Fire Emblem - Fódlan Winds (Rain/Thunder/Inferno/Embers)

This video is a mix, or mashup, consisting of several variations on the battle music "Fódlan Winds" from the Fire Emblem series. It consists of soundtracks from the Nintendo Switch titles Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.

The song “Fódlan Winds” is immaculate in the sense that it reproduces the atmosphere of peaceful days. The song begins with a repeated rhythm that mimics the orderly routine of each day. One may explore, learn, shop, rest, and even partake in practice battles. Such battles may take place across all of Fódlan, possessing its calm winds and gentle waters. Not only does “Fódlan Winds” capture the lively essence of the continent, but it also exhibits the thrill of battle. The song possesses a number of risers, creating anticipation and excitement, no different from the emotions experienced in battle. Its clear musical structure represents the clarity between right and wrong. Moreover, the predominant melody resembles “The Edge of Dawn,” yet the theme is somewhat inverted from the original. Consequently, “Fódlan Winds” is a song of pleasantness rather than despair, which can plainly be heard throughout the battle music. However, in the midst of combat, “Fódlan Winds” transitions to a “Thunder” version. In sharp contrast to the original music, “Fódlan Winds (Thunder)” sheds light on the darkness of fighting. Although it appears to be all in the spirit of eradicating genuine evil, battles within Fódlan, friendly or not, still are characterized by violence. Especially when the line between good and evil is blurred, peace may not be so simple. As the winds of Fódlan swell into a storm of rain and thunder, the embers of war spark in spite of the precipitation—and an inferno of chaos has just begun.
