My first Persona was Persona 3, and man, while the Velvet Room theme in the later games will always be one of my favorites in gaming, I can't help but enjoy this one more despite having never played the game. It truly is a beautifully done piece.
Welcome to the velvet room My name is Igor I am delighted to make your acquaintances This room exists between dream and reality, mind and matter It's a room that only those who are bound by a contract of some sort may enter So then, why don't you introduce yourself?
damn so much pain in this version, although there's not that much different, there's such a subtle change in tone and pitch and makes it so sorrowful FUCK I LOVE P2 SO MUCH
Brūsti Sprinkler thank you I drew it myself, it's Anna Yoshizaka if u couldn't tell. If you like persona 2 I've got lots of stuff on my channel since I'm also making a p2 animation
Is it just me, or does anyone feel REALLY nostalgic for some reason? This is odd because I've never played a Persona game, ever. But I have watched gameplay of this game mutiple times... but not when I was little. I just find it SUPER odd that I feel nostalgic when listening to this despite the lack of Persona in my life.
ZFSBoss2090 nostalgia has nothing to do with age. You can be nostalgic of stuff that happened 3, 5 or 20 yrs ago. You admit to watching P3 vids, and you miss those days. It's as simple as that.
@@bysuke- persona 3 got 2 re releases, both of which having entirely new campaigns and bonus content. Persona 1 and 2 had 1 psp port each that only added 1 mini scenario, new music, and some quality of life changes. That's still kind of a lot, but no where near what P3 got
It really speaks for itself. When the game was made, when it came out, the mood and theme of the game, the message it conveys. Just hearing it feels like a trip back into time when it was the age of PS1, Makes me feel young again, like the age of the protagonist. When I hear this music I imagine a cold street, grey clouds, the rain, but the warm feeling hits you that you walked in on something great, like passing by an old friend, or seeing a store you would like to go into. This is real music
If anyone's wandering, judging from the live stream Atlus Japan did that went in depth on the Social Link aspect of the game, the Persona 3/4 version is back. In the stream, Caroline and Justine are talking amongst themselves in the new Jail version of the velvet room and that version of the song is playing.
P2 velvet room theme was composed by someone else than Meguro that's why it sounds different. My favorite velvet room theme for sure. Not dissing Meguro's talent or anything i just found his versions of the theme bland compared to this.
@@ericx6969Yeah, that’s why I love this version much more than the one used for 3 onwards. And that’s coming from someone who heard the 3 version first. The kind of piano used in this one gives off a much more beautiful yet mysterious atmosphere.
Started playing Innocent Sin last week and man do I love this version of the theme already. P2IS is my second Persona game after 5 and I'm enjoying it so far. Still haven't beat the first boss yet though.
ah Persona 2... I really like persona 1 and 2. not only that they should be played for any fan to know more about the velvet room. yeah the Velvet room
I played Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the first time recently. When I heard this in the Velvet Room it sounded so beautiful to me. It sounds a little sad too. It's my new favorite version of this song.
This to me sounds beautiful, its more complicated then Aria of the Soul, both are amazing and One is not better then the other, they are different and beautiful at the same time.
Wow. Both versions of this theme are amazing, but this is more beautiful... Feels like classical music. There's a feeling of wonder, mystery, sadness, happiness, hope. I don't know...
Persona 2 Velvet Room: This is the Velvet Room, a place that exists between dreams and reality, matter and mind... Nah, just fucking with you it's between a dumpster and your local 7/11.
The last persona game made before the soft reboot into more of a traditional pop-jazz type aesthetic in the later games. I kinda liked the more experimental style of the early games.
That theme is supposed to be a remix of this, since Nyx was... well, I don't now what was him, but he used all the arcanas, he was related with the arcanas and tarot, so the theme would fit him.
Honestly this is my most favorite version of the Velvet Room theme (with the the Gymnopedie version being my favorite Velvet Room Track overall). I really wish Atlus didnt reuse the same Velvet room theme from Persona 3 for 4 and 5 just for the consistency. By the way I think Persona 2 is a masterpiece so far and definitely deserves a remake (along with 1) and having a chance of putting it's characters in more Persona spin offs. EDIT: I forgot to mention the Persona 3 version of the Velvet room theme is in the PSP version of Persona 2 as well..... Once again consistency lol
POV : It was a tough day at work. Its 11 PM now and you were on your way back to your house. You decided go the nearest mall and fetch some light drinks and look around I'f there's any food vendors still open at this late hour. You look around and around but to no avail. Frustrated, you were about to walk away when you hear a faint humming of one familiar song. The song was so nostalgic, the melody was so serene and the voice were majestic. You tried to remember anything about this song but your memories so cloudy. Then you stopped walking. You can't believe your eyes. A huge door with melismatic hue of blue color stood in front of you. Then all those memories from your childhood flooded back again. Yes. You remembered it now. The Velvet Room
Actually, I'm quite sure that Isamu Tanonaka didn't pass away BEFORE Persona 4 was made (hence how Igor still spoke to the MC near the end of the game in the True Ending), he passed away AFTER, which is why in P4 the Animation and Persona 4 the Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena there is practically no real dialogue from Igor besides the same archived dialogue he's said in P3 and P4.
This one is THE BEST. It saddens me that persona 4 fanboys don't know this masterpiece, but only the p3/p4 version (wich is also great). Like a series? Search for it's roots.
fuck tarot cards in this game for real man, this game would be perfect if i didn't need like 2o3i388wie8373289wish9ey29 tarot cards just for one persona
For me the plot is the most important thing in a game. Gameplay is important too. If it's broken, the game is not worth playing, no matter how good the plot actually is. That, however, is not the case with p1 and p2. The gameplay is not broken, only outdated, and, sincerely, on some aspects I prefer it better. It doesn't get as tiring and repetitive as p3/p4's. I can understand why people are turned off by these things, though. Unfortunately people tend to overlook plot in favor of graphics
No, Persona 4 was in mind right after Persona 3. Right when casting was underway the man who voiced Igor in P3 passed away, so thats why we have the Igor we have today in Persona 4, P4 Animation, and P4 Arena.
There is no singer. Just the sound engineer created some amazing synthetic "aah" and "ooh" sound sample. They probably loaded it onto some vintage yamaha synth and recorded it. The music file in the Playstation disc are just PS version midis
@@ladyirisbits9793 that guy, replying to a 7 years old comment, you replying to a 2 years old one, and me to a 2 months old one, it's never too late I guess
@2ILLnificent Damn i wish i knew that befor but i just got my friends to buy the games me pay them back and i hide the games in my wall and lock my door when i play but now her boyfriend is gon but i'm still not sure if i should stop locking my door. to be honist i didnt know wha any thing ment about the SMT games any more but now i think i understand a bit better. Thank you ^^
more persona 2. Persona 1's old fashioned game mechanics bothers a lot of people (not me), so I think p2 Innocent sin is a good one to go, if you're not used to the old megami tensei games. Storywise, persona 1 is the deepest, even though I like p2's characters better.
TBH I think I prefer the P3/4 version of Aria of the Soul. The main thing to me that makes P2 IS/EP have better Velvet Rooms is because sometimes they'll play other songs that are usually very cool.
@2ILLnificent Your very educated :D The PENTACLE (no way satanic) is, in the world of Tarot (Major role in the series), a symbol of fortune and often used in the cards as either joy or greed, etc. But is no way Satanic unless flipped upside down to indicate the shape of a goat head (Top of star pointing downward).
Where did you get this version? I ask not so much for the location itself; but to know whether or not I can expect reasonable quality when I inevitably find it. Was this a rip from a CD, or was it from a website, or recorded directly from the game? If t was from a site, what was the bit rate of the file?
the star symbol that has SMT in it aperantly its satanic so my moms boy friend isnt so Keen (lol Keen) in that but i did manage to hide my persona 4 game XD but my nocturne is gone

Velvet rooms
P1=?
P2= Music room
P3=Elevator shaft
P4=limo
P5= Prison
I think the one from P1 is meant to look like a stereotypical supervisor's room in an office building.
@@imthethriller thanks for the info
I though it was more of a blank and empty room
you could say p1 is the "Base" velvet room
P6=cabaret club Maybe?
Best Velvet Room theme...
I miss Belladonna and Nameless...
Their still there in the room just not visibly
headcanon they're singing/playing the theme just offscreen
@@ethansewall1699 that's a fact. I can't get the source but that is a true statement.
It’d be cool if they were in/hinted at in p6 or a persona spin of for that matter

This Velvet Room theme is the best in the Persona series, it just sucks that the voice actor of Igor died.

+Andres Carrero Cardenas One half of your prayer is coming true. P5 WILL have a Velvet Room. And potentially, this theme WILL come back.
+Andres Carrero Cardenas I also wish that all characters can enter the Velvet Room like Persona 1 and 2,and the return of philemon.
+ZFSBoss2090 I highly doubt this version will come back, seeing as they've used the new one for later games

This is Aria of the Soul, and there's a lot more than two versions of the song.
damn this velvet room is hands down the best one. I hope one day we'll get to see a remake.
This will always be the best velvet room for me.
This version feels like you're in a concert hall listening to a real performance which is really cool
Someday Old persona music will get a huge amount of views and then the Remake will come ;)
Remake and anime ;)

best velvet theme
Checked all ver of Aria of Soul and I gotta say the P2 ver is the best.
I still think the original one from megami bokuru persona is the best
The true velvet room theme from my 2nd favourtie SMT Persona game
My favorite version of the Velvet Room theme
it's funny because i haven't played either eternal punishment or innocent sin, yet this feels so nostalgic.
I hate that they removed Philemon, Nylanthrotep, Nameless, Belladonna and the demon painter from the series as recurring characters
Because Nylanthrotep would probably wreak everyone's shit or Philemon would probably screw humanity over with another bet
Philemon is always watching though. Every time you see the butterfly in later games...
