Two years after my first video on the topic of the music in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I am back with a completely rewritten, more in-depth examination of the game's soundtrack, now with Three Hopes added in! In this video, I use my knowledge of music theory to analyse the devices used by the composers to enhance the narrative experience of FE3H and FEW3H. All transcriptions were done by me (by ear!), and while I have been a musician for most of my life, there is a possibility that I missed something, or made a small mistake. Please be kind to me!

Would you like to see me analyse another game OST in this format? Let me know your suggestions in the comments!
