Fire Emblem Path of Radiance follows the story of Ike, as he journeys from a newly minted mercenary to a legendary war hero. Ike's task is to take back his homeland, all to protect it for the future. Along the way, Ike finds new people to help with his cause. That is where this song, titled "With Us" on the original soundtrack, is played. It is the recruitment theme for Ike and his soldiers, The Greil Mercenaries. Since the theme was only meant to be played over a few lines of dialogue, there is only about a minute of original material before it endlessly loops, and that is the first minute of my piece. As it repeats, you can hear the little things I changed each time to keep each run through unique. Through changing the instrumentation, and adding counter melodies, I try and bring new light to the song that shows all of Ike's *instrumental* allies join (heh heh). I also sneak part of the song that plays when a unit promotes to a higher class during different points in the song, most notably in the end. In my opinion, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and its sequel Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn are two of the best games this series has to offer and are two of my favorite games of all time. So sit down, relax, and get ready to Join the Ranks of the 8-Bit Orchestra.

The 8-Bit Orchestra was inspired by the University of Maryland Gamer Symphony Orchestra, the first collegiate ensemble dedicated to performing video game music.

8-Bit pieces are arranged by students, conducted by students, and performed by students of the University of Delaware. The group organizes concerts twice a year: at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Starting with a group of around 40, now reaching nearly 60 members from a wide variety of majors, the 8-Bit Orchestra is continuing to grow. Today, we are the largest instrumental music RSO on campus, and have been invited to perform at off-campus events like Minefaire, the Minecraft fan convention.
