  • Hey y'all, back at it again with another video. This is part 1 of a 3-part series I plan to finish over the summer. I love everything to do with Atlus but if I had to pick one facet of the games they make that I love the most it would definitely be the music. However, aside from modern Persona music, many are unaware of the brilliant minds and stories behind the creation of these OSTs. This video series is meant to be an informative yet engaging way to introduce those to the incredibly talented composers throughout the history of Atlus.
    Please share, like, and subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

    Phenomenal video. Just absolutely great, as an older fan of Shin Megami Tensei it really makes me happy whenever anyone brings up the music that truly makes what SMT is. Especially for this video, it brings more recognition to the Devil Summoner series as I feel as if not much people have ever heard or touched the songs for the series. Truly the composers need to absolutely be more appreciated and I’m glad to see this video to do just that.
    I can’t wait to see more of your content in the future, I look very forward to them.

    I love this video! I appreciate the use of in-game imagery to help convey the aesthetics of the music. I'm a relatively newer fan of the Megami Tensei/Persona series so getting to learn more about it is really nice. Can't wait to see the next part of this series.

    something to note with SMT IF, when you were showing off the music the second song is Old Enemy while the third is Boss, while all three play exclusively on PSX's Akira Volume since SFC used the same soundtrack as the original for Akira Volume

    Finally some recognition for the devil summoner soundtrack, for me it's my second favorite atlus game soundtrack next to SMT IV.

    Ugh, I just love the soundtracks from If… even if they are remasters it feels like the final arrangement for that era of 16bit music before the new generation.
    Also, idk how intermingling it has with MegaTen games, but I feel like Etrian Odyssey is often left out of the conversation when looking at Altus’ works. A dungeon crawler it it’s purest form and having some very rich music of their own.

    Great video!
    Personally I've always considered this era of Atlus music my favorite. I think it might have to do with how simple the songs technically are, but still somehow sound so multifaceted at the same time. Covers of these songs are somehow always good too.

    I can't wait till we get to the 2010's and modern era because im completely in love with the style we see now that sounds like a culmination of decades long of game osts. and i would love to see if some composers can be seen outside of smt

    Your editing was very clean and succinct, and I thought the video had a good pace. Keep it up man the SMT franchise needs more channels like you. Very happy to hear Devil Summoner's music get some recognition too!

      Evolution and Eurythmics Battle themes are backwards. But hey, the message is clear. Aoki was an actual magician working on a SFC to produce music at such a quality for the system, truly ahead of its time.
      Some SMT IF’s dungeon tracks sound the same but with a different pitch and a usually, a new bridge 😊👌

    Tsukasa Masuko eventually became a freelancer and moved on to work on games such as The Caligula Effect, which features a lot of his distinctive sounds from the SMT era.
    As a fun little fact I myself didn't know until fairly recently, he also worked on a Dragonball game, Dragonball Z Attack of the Saiyans, if memory serves.
    Though not really an Atlus connoisseur, I would still highly recommend you to contact Dr. Papá de Bulma for further and deeper analysis. He no longer produces videos, as stated by himself, but I'm sure he'd be willing to help you out with this sort thing, as he's himself a composer and arranger and his Dragonball videos are mostly focused on analysing the franchise's music. He's pretty knowledgeable.

    oh wait , in smt if... that´s Akira battle theme (as they use the standard SMTII battle with anyone but him in the psx version), boss amd old enemy are reversed in this video; the video is excellent as it´s own.

    I got into Persona when I heard a banger of a soundtrack coming out of my cousin's 3DS the F.O.E. battle theme from Persona Q. Then I saw the colorful cast of characters wearing school uniform/casual clothing in Persona Q and it got my attention. At the time I have finally found a series that is a turn-based RPG game that takes place in a modern setting and none of that fantasy setting games with their overused orchestrated music. I just want to hear modern music from my time and then I found ATLUS' Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games.
