Mxmtoon is the one who gave the vocals for creep, she posted the official audio and acoustic version here

[@kenz2756]

I mean c'mon, she has a good voice but this is not close to exceptional at all by any means. She didn't mess up the pitch but that's as good as it went, this didn't require any range or power at all. But I guess you could say the same with a lot of modern popular songs I guess.

[@manug2508]

@@kenz2756 It's not about the range or anything like that. The really exceptional thing in this is the way the emotions are presented while singing. An excellent job. And i actually prefer the ingame version to mxmtoons acoustic version just because of that. A great mix between singing voice and character sync.

Its one thing to sing a song for others because they like it, its a whole different feeling to sing it to yourself and feel that the words are about you. She was actively telling us how she felt in that moment and it was heart breaking because we could see how wrong she was.

[@Sumguyinavan_]

I almost cried when she sang this because everyone she met in that town (except Mac but eventually even they are ok) liked her pretty much immediately and treated her with acceptance and kindness she'd never known, but she still thought "I don't belong here". She just needed someone to overhear that downstairs to kick in her door, hug her, and tell her that she finally found the place she belonged.

[@seojaepark]

Just a heads up that the mac comment is a bit spoiler-ish. Just a two cent opinion especially since this scene was before things hit the fan, etc.

[@Sumguyinavan_]

meh, this was the shortest LiS game, and we had the opportunity to binge the whole thing day 1. If people didn't get through it and then start looking up videos about the game, that's on them.

Honestly for me, the fact that not even 20 minutes later Gabe is on the roof telling her just how special she is, and based off the rest of the game, I think it actually got through to her. It just had such a big impact on the rest of the game, and really showed just how important Gabe was to helping Alex come into her own and actually feel like she's finally apart of something

I love games like those that are an ovel peg in a round hole or square peg in a round hole, and then with the choices you help them, they make help be frinds I r just aquniententnes or enemies. In life stage, true colors you can choose your orienting any how the music becomes a big part of her life with everybody around. Sorry, I got track. If you spend more time with some less with others to wayne if opppinin of you anlove others in some persona games is like that but in p5 they halted that and they all found where they belonged in the end thanks to Joker.

I really want Alex to have a cameo in the next LIS. She's by far my favorite character from all the games. And this scene was awesome to listen to when I played it. I mean I'm here listening to it again so 😂.

[@DOSkywalkR]

Cameos of main characters are always difficult with the LIS franchise since whatever ending you choose their fate would be wildly different. But I hope they try anyway, giving us questions like "did you play True Colors, did you stay in Haven Springs"? While True Colors didn't have such a question, at least Wavelengths had it about LIS1, which was really great!

I actually got really emotional over this when I played the game. It's such a great moment.

It will probably be another few years before they release the next masterpiece (besides the DLC anyway).
