Fire Emblem Fates - Road Taken Remix

Thank you for watching!  Although the Fates/IF games had mixed reception among Fire Emblem fans, most players agree that the trio's soundtrack is S-Rank, and I'm one of them!  "Road Taken", the standard skirmish theme, perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of that world, and it's some of the best level-grinding music in the history of gaming - I hope that you'll find this rendition to be similarly listenable! In this remix, I wanted to preserve much of the original instrumentation because, well, it's just so dang good. The ensemble of piano, flute, guitar, and strings really does it for me, and that combination has been kept largely intact here, with a bit of synth support and some tweaks to the arrangement.  I initially intended for the remix to keep Calm, but as the project carried on it began to take on some Roar characteristics in certain sections. This is a song I've wanted to remix for several years, and it's fulfilling to finally be able to do that in the way I'd always hoped! I want to use this opportunity to recommend the music of likely one of the most underrated remixers you'll ever hear of: ‪@struttinevilmushroom5985‬! I know that the term "underrated" gets thrown around a lot on the internet - especially in the context of Youtube channels - but I feel that it's truly warranted here.  Struttin' Evil Mushroom is exceptionally skilled and I genuinely have no idea why their music hasn't had a wider reach, but it absolutely deserves to.  If you're reading this (and thank you if you are!), please be sure to check out their collection of Mushroom Mixes - it's genuine hidden treasure! ✨ As always, a huge and heartfelt thank-you to my wife and artist partner, Kali Lyon, for her wonderful artwork in the video. Her illustrations of Azura and the three Corrins are truly breathtaking, as are the ethereal (is)landscapes she created - I think they really capture the elegance and beauty of Fates and its soundtrack! And hey, if you like her designs here, please be sure to check out more of her work on Instagram! 📸 Kali's Instagrams:   / kalilyonart     / kalilyon_equalyze   Struttin' Evil Mushroom's YouTube channel:    / @struttinevilmushroom5985   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally composed by: Takeru Kanazaki, Hiroki Morishita, Rei Kondoh, Masato Kouda, & Yasuhisa Baba
