Dystify Music

Today Nintendo has blocked all 137 Fire Emblem: Three Houses soundtrack videos on my channel.

This means that unfortunately the soundtrack will not be on YouTube in the form of videos. We can only hope this is not becoming the norm each game release, as it would make for a very grim future for Nintendo music fans.
This is to my knowledge the first Nintendo game soundtrack *ever* that will not be on YouTube at all. At this time it might still be up on other channels, but it is likely only a matter of time until they get blocked, too.

I already tried emailing Nintendo on Friday but as one would expect I have not gotten a response yet. Nintendo of America replying to issues like this rarely ever happens, and with these blocks coming from Nintendo in Japan I'd say chances are near zero, unfortunately.

I don't know why they blocked them. A possibility is that they want to sell the soundtrack. Intelligent Systems has been selling FE soundtracks (via Tablier Communications or Pony Canyon) in the past. Chances are that, even though they blocked the videos worldwide, the soundtrack will only be sold in Japan.

Personally I am very sad about this. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a great soundtrack, and I spent a long time and possibly more effort than I ever did before on these videos. (If you've seen them you may know what I mean. I really tried to go all out.) I really wanted all of you to enjoy it.

Thanks for reading.

That really sucks, Dys. I can't imagine how disheartening it must be to be a Nintendo music channel these days, so thanks for continuing to give this channel your all. I, and I'm sure many others, appreciate it. Hopefully this Dark Age of Nintendo music won't last forever.

That's so sad. At least they didn't take your channel down (again). I saw how much effort you put in the videos and it must be heartbreaking to see them gone

Gods man. Your music videos are so amazing they even look official. I hope Nintendo will retract their block.

I was really disappointed when I saw they were blocked. I’ve been really enjoying listening to them for the last few days 😔 Strange how Nintendo is quick to block the OST, yet videos showing major spoilers that make it so people don’t even have to buy the game are fine

I was listening to this everyday to work because my special edition with the soundtrack hasn’t come in yet. That sucks that they took it down :(

Nintendo would make so much money if they just sold albums in other countries

I had a lot fun listening to The Spirit Dais and the ominous title screen theme. Sorry to hear about this.

Yo can you upload the soundtrack through an external link? I really like the thunder mix of Between Heaven and Earth. That shit gets me hyped up every time I hear it. Thank you

Sad to hear. I used your channel to download at least some if not quite a few of the soundtrack onto my computer. Thanks for what you did.

Man I wish Nintendo themselves would make a music channel instead of just removing all the music on youtube... I don't want to have to take out my switch just to listen to some Nintendo tracks while working or studying.

I never really payed attention to fire emblem, but I can still imagine how hard it is to compile all the music, and then see it just disappear, hopefully Nintendo will remove the block soon

I didnt have a chance to see your videos since I always wait till I finish them but I'm pretty sure you did a fantastic job with the videos. It saddens me deeply to not be able to hear fe music in YouTube, especially since they recently removed the channel that had the entire ost of Fates and SoV which are currently missing here in YT

Nintendo: *Prevents soundtrack from being listened to on YT* Me: “Can I buy the OST then?” Nintendo: “Nah.”
