He saw all his friends act like strangers towards him.If anyone else remembered they'd be cursed to be sent back to their destroyed dimension. Because he remembers he gets put back in the world he originally came from, the one where everyone he loves is dead. Only remembers because its painful to forget everyone you loved. You tried but it wasn't enough. Now you suffer in the ruins of Sumaru City
This gives me the vibes of, “What did I do to deserve this? Why me?” I hope new persona games can make the games more bittersweet or have bigger consequences.
@Bread Sticks Well I mean, despite it being more light hearted than the rest of the games, the premise is dark in and of itself, they are literally chasing a rampant serial killer and there are people that are killed because of it
@Bread Sticks Eh, 4 was good for what it was It never took itself too serious and was consistent with it's tone. 5 was the only one I remember thinking was off with how it went from silly comedy to expecting you to take the drama seriously
It’s hard for me to grasp that this is in the same universe as Persona 4 and 5. The difference in style and tone is so vast, you’d almost think they were different franchises entirely. The background, the music, the tone-everything. Makes you wonder what happened after 3.
@@sdark328 i mean in terms of plot, persona 2 is objectively better than 4 or 5. But just because something is better, doesnt mean its going to be more popular sadly
I think Persona 2 : innocent sin's universe is not the same as P4 and P5 universe since the former has been destroyed by xibalba. In my opinion, P4 and P5 have the same universe as P2 : eternal punishment. (sorry fo my bad English)
@Bread Sticks P4 and P3 dropped it with the P3P (it has the SMT name in the North American version for some reason) and P4G as P4 (not Golden) carried the series into a more mainstream tone and Persona 5 became pretty much one of the top 5 most popular JRPG of all time so they didn't need to act like a spin off of the Megami Tensei franchise anymore which was more popular at the time they added SMT to the names
This song perfectly encapsulates everything I love about the original games. hauntingly so. The persona 2 duollgy is as far as I'm concerned the most emotionally resonant gaming experience I've ever had and can safely say that it is my favourite game(s) of all time.
This Persona age (closer to Shin Megami Tensei) was way more interesting than modern Persona games imo. Both are cool but still... Mainline SMT and first Persona games are the real deal for me.
@@Phantom-kc9ly The first couple of games were (smt ...If and smt p1) before the series actuality became its own distinctive entity with 2. And even then in Japan p2 was still smt p2 for a little bit on online forums.
P2 (IS and EP) will always be the most tragic and beautiful of the series. Each installment did something great, teammates, battle mechanics, journey, but to me p2 did it all.
El desenlace de Persona 2 Eternal Punishment me sacó bastantes lágrimas... Es una pena que ATLUS no les haya hecho aún un remake a P1, P2 IS y a P2 EP, sus historias son perfectas.
Me pregunto si este tipo de historia sería compatible con la fórmula de los S.Link de los nuevos Persona, diría que no porque en principio no necesitas de S.link para invocar Personas en el Velvet Room, me gustaría ver más de este juego pero con el estilo de ahora de Persona y también algo que lo conecte más a la saga actual

How could I describe this theme? It feels like being in a hospital, within outpatient services for mental health... Alone and uncertain of what the future may hold. Yes, there may be healing, but there are so many factors ahead that only you can make into positives.
This is sounds like old school Resident Evil and Silent Hill soundtracks Edit: I realized that somehow this song reminds me of Dexter End Credits Theme (I'm talking about Michael Hall's murder mystery thriller TV show, not the genius kid from Cartoon Network animated series) mixed with Saya No Uta vibes
Too bad in game you can't hear this theme much since it starts to play game's op. Also theme hits even harder after you finish the game. i remember staying till 3 am to finish the game only to feel empty after. Also music reminds me re save room themes.
Rando Coming from a music composer P3 ties with P4 for my favorite soundtrack. So much of P5’s soundtrack sounds awesome at first listen then it all blends together. P3 is when Meguro still blended his SMT style of writing with a more Persona-like soundtrack. Really good stuff. And P4’s soundtrack is when Persona soundtracks really became their own style. Don’t really know how the P4 OST sounds all the same to you. Thanks for coming to my ted talk lol

This Song sounds like how Tatsuya must feel in EP
hearing this song after finishing the game is a big mood
Exactly it like ties together and makes sense title and music
Naoyo lived a decent life
Makoto died knowing people loved him
Yu suffered but ultimately leads an amazing life
Joker goes back to a harsh world but soon he'll be free

I love how dark and brooding this is. OMG it's perfect.
I love that too.
And yet at the same time it’s also soothing...
This is probably what depression sounds like
Yes.
I can confirm this
yes, it is.
depression is pretty chill ngl
real

Feels more "coming to grips" to me
@@chronica6457 The fuck are you smoking? P5 was serious out the gate. Shiho fucking attempts suicide within like....2 hours!?!?

Its kinda sad persona 1 and 2 dont get as much love as persona 3/4/5
Now i think im feeling how smt fans feel
thats because Persona 1 and 2 and shoved in with the SMT series, since 3-5 are their own standalone series.

Kind of crazy how Persona 1/2 had darker themes compared to 4/5, it's like they're not even from the same series lol.
Yeah its almost like theyre not in the same universe haha....

@@Scoreos77 I know that's the joke bruh
P2 games got a Teen rating as well on the psp
Bro ? P4 too have dark themes 💀
Loving it so much. 2's soundtrack gets slept on too much
This song could play for the entirety of the game and still fit almost every moment... maybe the best menu track ever idk.

Mainline SMT and first Persona games are the real deal for me.
None of the persona games or even If... are smt though. None of them deal with law v chaos and are more story focused.
And as far as battle systems go Persona 5 has the most in common with SMT.

This game needs a remake
Perfect music to listen to when it's raining.
A beautiful song that acts as a caution for anyone playing this game. A warning, telling them that this is a story not for the faint of heart...
and here I thought P3's Living with Determination was sad...
Teacher:what do you know about depression?
Girls:billie eilish
Boys:
....
Boys: "Ever heard of Tatsuya Suou?"
This track is reminiscent of some songs from 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors
Morphogenetic Sorrow comes to mind
Nice pfp.
thank you, I fel the same way about this. Or the Zero Escape Series in general actually!

I haven’t played this game yet, i will say that this song reminds of zero escape
You should play it. It's a little bit dated in the mechanisms but its story is really great.
It’s haunting, but soothing at the same time...like whale songs
There aren’t any whales in Persona but I brought them up because I love Whales 🐋 🐳 🐋
It's also tragic.

I feel like this theme would go very well in a remix with Silent Hill's "Not Tomorrow".
This is sounds like old school Resident Evil and Silent Hill soundtracks
Edit: I realized that somehow this song reminds me of Dexter End Credits Theme (I'm talking about Michael Hall's murder mystery thriller TV show, not the genius kid from Cartoon Network animated series) mixed with Saya No Uta vibes
I wish I could learn how to play this piece on the piano.
Just wait until yall play eternal punishment
Silent Hill vibes
This is sad song certified
Too bad in game you can't hear this theme much since it starts to play game's op. Also theme hits even harder after you finish the game. i remember staying till 3 am to finish the game only to feel empty after. Also music reminds me re save room themes.
憂鬱な気分になってくる
Dunno why, this reminds me of the original 3 opening
This honestly reminds me of Rusty Hearts a lot for some reason. I guess they both just sort of have that kinda atmosphere.
i cant stop hearing "I'm blue dabudi dabuda" wtf is wrong with me
oh?
Although Persona 2's soundtrack is the weakest out of the five to me, it's still one of my favorite title themes.
@Marie I personally think so, P4 is my favorite in terms of soundtrack
@Rando I can respect that. P3 is my second favorite soundtrack.
Weakest, wih total 7h 19min, longest in Persona series?
