Dungeon - City 1 School Revisited - Megami Ibunroku Persona

Music by: Hidehito Aoki

[@firestar4407]

Every time I listen to this theme, I can't help but to feel bad for the composer... R.I.P Hidehito Aoki

[@richanddarksbane1439]

Same here man

[@gynesiseffect907]

And this happened when he left Atlus for Sony. Damn, even god didn't want him to leave Atlus.

This game's soundtrack is perfect

[@firestar4407]

Yet for some reason almost every track was replaced in the remake...

[@NickeyNarioaHagman]

Not just replaced, more like missing

[@nobodyinterestingyou]

@@firestar4407 Yeah they wanted to make It feel more In line with persona 3 and going onward, but I think this was a mistake. I'm glad that someone made a patch to play the Psp version with the ps1 soundtrack. It really adds to the atmosphere and to the mood of this game.

[@vihurah9554]

Playing PSP version rn, hate how much they cut out that leitmotif

[@firestar4407]

Yeah, rather than, I dunno, rearranging the whole PS1 OST, they cut out a lot of songs and the new tracks don't really fit the game's atmosphere. What could have been a nice tribute to the late Hidehito Aoki turned out to be a disrespect to his amazing work.

YOU CAN EFFING HEAR KANDORI'S THEME IN LITERALLY EVERY TRACK

Well, he is in control of the dream version of Mikage-Cho so his influence can be felt and heard.

[@firestar4407]

Kandori's theme is even present in a Persona 3 cutscene... Even though he is literally never referenced in that game.

[@Chesozz]

A theme that sounds like a normal day with that slight undertone of danger and suspense, I love the soundtrack, I don't think we'll ever get one like it ever again, rest in peace Hidehito Aoki, may your work never be forgotten 🙏

[@OldEnemy1]

1994-2000 was simply unreal in music quality. Devil Summoner and Persona 1, Soul Hackers and the Persona 2 Duology, and the Majin Tensei games as well. That was the golden age of MegaTen music imo.

[@powergamer1008]

They don’t make OST’s like this anymore

[@ZeldaGamer2005]

To be fair the composer did die from a horrific car crash on a mountain that caused his car to fall off.

[@Ray_Moses]

There are plenty of good OSTs out there persona has its own identity so it's gonna sound different from others but I've heard some good stuff in this generation of games

[@pentexsucks43]

@@Ray_Moses it's not about it being good or not. Modern games just don't have this type of feel, and it's because of hardware. Nothing modern sounds like this because they aren't using PS1 audio chips

[@Ray_Moses]

@@pentexsucks43 I feel like it boils down to opinion if your gripe with modern day music is the sound chip

[@pentexsucks43]

@@Ray_Moses never said it was a gripe, modern game music is incredible still. I'm just saying that I think you might have misinterpreted the original comment, because of the hardware and timeframe the game was made, there's a reason nowadays game music isn't made like it used to be

[@NecroticDB]

This song, and pretty much the entire soundtrack, hits my nostalgia bone so fucking hard, even though I hadn't even heard it until recently. It's amazing how certain kinds of music can invoke such a feeling of wistfulness, longing, and sehnsucht.

[@zeze7022]

1:52 has to be my favorite use of the kandori leitmotif, god it’s so good

[@aquamentus8951]

The PSP ost isn't that bad, but it's just unfitting for a game like Persona 1. The music here is atmospheric and was meant for a game set in the 90's, the PSP ost would fit more to a totally new entry/neo-Persona game.

[@jakepearce7776]

Apparently this is called 'Monochrome'. Or at least that's what Revelations calls it anyway.

[@TheSolidRob]

Monochrome is the name of the slightly altered version of this song found on the Megami Ibunroku Persona OST & Arrange Album.

[@gizelbelcoot]

Classic stuff , my fav track in entire persona series

[@OldEnemy1]

The more I listen to it, this might just be the best song on the PlayStation. This theme perfectly captures a once peaceful school, filled with energetic and promising young students attending an average high school life, now having to fear for their lives with a sudden outbreak of demons. To think this was all done with the PS1 Sound Chip is nothing short of impressive.

[@TapsaMaster2014]

Persona 1 & 2 for ps1 have good musics the psp version does sound good still but as a retrovise i do like more these old ones especially snow queen good ending and Maya's theme :>

[@someguyparagon5273]

May be late to comment but what I like about this awakening theme is how you can hear a heartbeat...

[@andro5712]

i dont think this is an awakening theme

[@tchelikdabril9628]

@@andro5712 he probably means awakening as in, when u wake up after getting knocked out by the Persona game.

[@satyamSaha]

[@doublezeta2025]

Incredibly haunting.

[@ericlueck5359]

Theme of looking for club students' gossip to activate Snow Queen.

[@4KGamingSMT]

Such an amazing tune

[@PASTELXENON]

Way better than School Days

[@SteamEngine-yz6yy]

It’s so sad too, because el when people talk about persona 1, they talk about the psp version and it’s soundtrack, when imo this is my favorite school theme of the series

[@OldEnemy1]

Ice Castle, especially the one from arranged album, is a pretty good school theme too.

[@michaelcrabbe3722]

The problem with the other soundtrack is that it loops in a way that becomes incredibly annoying after awhile The original soundtrack was more optimal for the encounter rates and battles

[@mori-cq5282]

[@adred6628]

So would this be School Days on psp? Take it back I found it

[@OldEnemy1]

Yeah. I like School Days, but it feels a bit unfitting to have this song playing when you return from a hospital and now the entire city is infested with demons

[@vj7248]

This is pure vaporwave, naturally from the appropriate time period.
