    The velvet room is a place between dream and reality, mind and matter. Its form changes based on the guest it is serving. In 3 it manifested as an elevator, because the guest is ascending a tower. In 4, as a limo travelling through fog, because he's solving a mystery. In 5, it manifests as a jail.
    It manifested for you, as a concert hall with a saxophone.

    One of my favourite live performances of a Persona track. It’s always great seeing Meguro playing live and the inclusion of the saxophone was just amazing. I’m surprised no one requested the original game version first, it’s definitely worth checking out.

    They have a concert every year, shoji is always on the guitar. The best part about the concerts' they do change the arrangements. In essence they change the genre each year

    As far as introductions to songs go, listening to the original is always my preference; it's hard to get an appreciation for the differences otherwise.
    That said, the original plays during the game's "final boss."
    Wink. (Quite literally, at that, if you know what the boss is.)

    The Velvet Room is a space that shows up in every game, and its form is different depending on the person visiting. Persona 3 it is an elevator, Persona 4 it is a car, Persona 5 it's a jail.

    This is one of my favourite boss themes in all of videogames. The in-game version sounds extremely close to this, but with some beautiful piano along the guitar instead of the sax. The fact this was live is impressive, it's pretty much as clean as the recorded version in the game. I'd never actually heard it before.

  • @benjiman221

    Vastly prefer the original version, but that might be because the audio quality of this recording isn't great, or they kind of simplified some lines and you don't hear some of the details. The original version is one of my favorite boss tracks in JRPGs.

    • @NSDominator
      @NSDominator Год назад +10

      Same here, though I do love that piano at the very beginning. I made a music mod for the PC version of P4G adding that to the beginning of the original song and looping it accordingly, and it adds this epic build up with the characters talking shortly before the fight begins

    Music starts at 0:44. I think I only remember this song from the Arena games. Anyway, I really hope Jesse reacts to the original Hymn of the Soul, which is the theme of the Velvet Room in most of the Persona games

  • @thatrandomgamer6278
    @thatrandomgamer6278 Год назад +3

    Me thinks I will have to request the original myself next month so we won’t be denied your reaction to it. This remix is… ok but it doesn’t really capture the same feeling I think the original is going for seeing as this is a “final” boss theme.

  • @donmah06
    @donmah06 Год назад +2

    Okay, to answer your questions!
    Yess, there have been a lot of official Persona concerts throughout the years! I think there's one coming up, too, if I'm not mistaken. Most have pretty huge crowds, which I find really cool:)
    Also, the person on lead guitar is Shoji Meguro! Yeah!
    As for the name of the video: You listened to The Almighty (which actually IS battle music yeah, one of the final-y boss battles!), which was the one that Tommas requested; if you'd continued the video, you would've heard the Velvet Room theme. This video just took 2 songs of the live concert instead of one, most of the video's taking parts of persona concerts do that for some reason.
    As others said, the Velvet Room is an important recurring concept in the Persona series. You might be interested to know that the music playing in all games in the Velvet Room ("The Poem of Everyone's Souls", which is a choir-y song) is also remixed into a final boss theme in Persona 3, "The Battle for Everyone's Souls", which you listened to and covered like you mentioned! The fact that when you hear this final boss theme, you have heard part of the song many times during the game, is so awesome!

    Persona concerts are rad. Not sure about the composer, but from my memory the original vocalists are always there. A few have had dancing along with the music.
    I know they sometimes have virtual tickets you can livestream (and more occasionally free mini concerts)

    So if I Paypal you $20 I get to request two tracks correct? Since it's $10 for one? I've got two in mind that you haven't done yet and that are probably obscure enough that no one else would, at least not anytime soon. Just wish I could find the one with English lyrics in the video rather than the description, but apparently either no one thought to do that or they got taken down.

    • @JessesAuditorium
      @JessesAuditorium  Год назад

      That is correct. Do note I have a giant backlog so maybe there's a chance the request is already there.
      The list can be seen on Patreon for $1 if you were curious, otherwise yes.

  • @Game_InSky
    @Game_InSky Год назад +1

    While the song has nothing to do with these, the instrumentation and Jesse's reaction to it make me hope he's got MK8's Big Blue (specifically the highlight reel version) in his request list somewhere.

    As a Persona 3 fanboy I will admit that even though this boss is a little underwhelming this boss theme absolutely slaps harder than it needed to.

    Looking back now I can see the title "the Almighty" as we the player/the main character making choices, let go of relationship, building new one but can never revert our choices (unless you have a different playthrough) infront of the God of Persona's universe. At the beginning of the jorney we were unsure of our new power and the world but by the second half of the song the ending of the game and the end of the world is almost set but the guitar lead taking over signifies that we the MC will go forward with our choices and see it through till the end - a true savior or destroyer the God was waiting for.
