The first mission you encounter him he's allied and you only hear that opening rift. He's a doofus. His theme is a doofus theme, he acts like a doofus.

Then, suddenly, he's not a doofus, he's gonna fuck you up and now his theme is allowed to play in full because it's indicative of all of this.

Days of Ruin was ahead of it's time. Unironically. Release that shit 5 years later and the franchise is still alive today.

You only hear the first two seconds on loop in his first mission.

The rest of the song plays during his betrayal and subsequent fucking you up. Originally you just hear the goofy ass opening on loop though.

Also, his air units having extra defense combined with the fact that the DoR AI actually knows better than to put air units in range of fighters and AAs without reason makes him such a giant pain in the ass to fight.

I legitimately think he's the scariest fight in the game. I've seen my AA's get oneshotted by him in a duster before.

I wish they continued with this version of AW, but FE prints more money.

Days of Ruin is my favourite DS game.

Always liked Tabitha's theme best

If you're so great then why do you corrupt those who are just as great?

I enjoyed all of them, but the old style was really showing its age, and the sheer power creep in Dual Strike was pretty insane. It probably hurt Days of Ruin that it dialed the dark and serious tone up to 10 by opening with a literal apocalypse. Serious tonal whiplash between that and AW1-DS. It's a much better balanced game and the campaign is really good though.

Aren't they remastering the first 2? I hope they back-port the improved AI, even if it would make AW1 Hard Mode even more brutal.

unfortunately it seems like the remakes will be pretty rigidly similar to the originals, as we can see aw1 max still unnerfed and the ai apparently still have a fixation on killing apcs

it can always change though. i'm going to buy the remakes anyways because i want to support the series but i really hope they fix some of the dogshit balancing
