Revision as of 01:48, 30 October 2020
The Fire Emblem Theme is a musical track which acts as the main anthem for the entire Fire Emblem series. It was originally composed for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light by Yuka Tsujiyoko, and its use as that game's title screen theme has continued as a tradition by the majority of Fire Emblem games since. In many games, several other tracks also incorporate fragments of the theme.
List of uses in games
Fire Emblem series
- Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
- Opening Title - Demo: The game's main theme, played on the title screen and class role, is the original version of the Fire Emblem theme.
- Story 6 - Marth and Caeda's Conversation: This low-key rendition of the Theme plays over the final cutscene after clearing the Endgame.
- Ending (Ballade): This slow version of the Theme plays over the character endings after the credits roll.
- Fire Emblem Gaiden
- Ending 1: A slow, dramatic reprise of the Fire Emblem Theme opens this medley, which plays over the epilogue narration and staff credits.
- Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
- Opening Theme - Mystery of the Emblem: This brief track plays a slow, low-key arrangement of the melody that concludes the game's version of the Fire Emblem Theme. It plays on the initial start-up screen when Nintendo's logo and the Fire Emblem are displayed.
- Main Theme - Fire Emblem: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and class roll. Unlike earlier or later versions, it does not indefinitely loop and eventually comes to a finale.
- Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- Fire Emblem Theme: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and demo mode/credits. Its melody differs slightly in parts from the theme's prior versions.
- Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga
- In the original broadcasts, an orchestral arrangement of the Fire Emblem Theme played on the Satellaview download screen and title screen of each episode, streamed live by radio like most of the game's audio.[1]
- Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
- Fire Emblem Theme: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and demo mode/credits. Compared to Genealogy, Thracia's version of the theme is more traditional and in-line with its original melody.
- Ending - Ballade: This track opens with several bars from the Fire Emblem Theme.
- Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
- Fire Emblem Theme: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and demo mode/class roll.

- Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
- Fire Emblem Theme: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and class roll.
- Main Theme Arrangement: Nearly identical to the Main Theme Motif from The Binding Blade, that plays in the closing cutscenes of each campaign, usually when Lyn, Eliwood or Hector is farewelling the tactician.
- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- Main Theme: The game's main theme, played over the title screen and class roll. Uniquely, it incorporates the same ending melody used by the Mystery of the Emblem version.
- Main Theme (Reprise): A triumphant version of the Fire Emblem Theme, which plays in the final cutscene of the epilogue as Eirika and Ephraim part with their allies.
- Ray of Hope: A remixed variant of the theme used during the Creature Campaign as the overworld map music.

- Id (Purpose): An ominous lyrical version of part of the Fire Emblem Theme is used as the end of this song.
