Persona 2 Innocent Sin (PSP) OST - MAP Sumaru City

[@helenfotopoulou5125]

Everyone talks about the story, but nobody talks about the city itself. Sumaru was what subtly swallowed you into this game, it feels alive even though you see it from a top down view. The sheer dynamic of how each individual NPC knows different things ahead of time, has different opinions, new things to say; a whole story hidden behind a faceless •> icon.

[@kyaksachan502]

this is what I miss in alot of RPGs, the few niches that had them are almost existent as a thing you never see anymore. Background and supportive elemants in story are seriously underutilized to a point where alot of stories feel very samey regardless of actual quality.

[@Abszilla51]

I always got a really comfy night-time city vibe from this song, it's so relaxing. Definitely one of my favorites songs from P2. Reminds me of the first time I played this game, wandering from shop to shop exploring Sumaru city, soaking up the atmosphere and goofing around with Eikichi. It still blows my mind how much detail and characterization was put into random NPCs and locations in this game. Out of all the Persona games, P2's world really felt the most fleshed out to me. I love this game!

[@jakepearce7776]

Just started playing IS, and I agree completely.

[@BlueMageDaisen]

Yeah, it really eases you into a seemingly friendly and comforting world and then BREAKS YOUR HEART OVER AND OVER AGAIN BEFORE LEAVING YOU NEEDING EVEN MORE OF THIS SWEET SWEET ANGUISH By the by, this is my favourite game ever

[@rzLl_pz5]

Good morning, Mr. Mondo

walking at streets in the city you live with this song.

[@RyoSanThunderStar]

Yup yup.

[@sweetpeace345]

This gives off a very strong nostalgic vibe.

[@daviddunbar2851]

Dude I was feeling the same thing. But I guess that fits this games theme huh

[@peropero2208]

Whenever i hear it,i think of Flash games,idk why

[@jakemastandrea6872]

Same here

[@jackw8338]

The Seven Sisters High theme too. You can tell they specifically designed it to sound nostalgic and they did an amazing job.

[@hichichic4262]

Not that I'm Japanese but this has a very Showa era sound to me, which might explain the nostalgic mood

Sumaru must be a nice place when the gym isn't being bombed.

[@SugoiBoi24]

Its "Kimi no Tonari" instrumental with a funky beat now that I listen closely

[@mads_in_zero]

The map theme for Eternal Punishment is _Change Your Way,_ so they're both remixes of their respective game's ending credit themes.

[@pikachucetthesecond4296]

Something I really like about the Persona soundtracks is how they mix the ending themes into random songs, like with Butterfly Kiss in Persona 5

[@AraiiarA]

@@pikachucetthesecond4296 Me too. It really adds to the impact of the ending songs because you're already somewhat familiar with the melodies, and when the end comes you think back on the whole journey because of it.

[@mads_in_zero]

@@AraiiarA My favorite example is Persona 4. _Corner of Memories,_ (the title theme) both versions of _I'll Face Myself,_ (Battle and regular) and _Never More,_ (the end credits) all share motifs. You'll hear parts of one in the others, bringing the game full circle.

[@thatgamingauthor]

It could just be me, but I could totally hear this being in a game like Mother 3 just with the composition style and soundfont. Either way, this is probably one of my favorite songs in the series now. I have yet to play Innocent Sin (I've got Eternal Punishment on the PS1, though I don't play it nearly as much as I should), but this song alone makes me want to get this game as well.

[@GorditoCrunch343]

It's a shame that the PSP port of EP didn't get localized, as we wouldn't have to pinball from two different eras and systems. The quality of life improvements are definitely worth it. Let's hope that English translation patch sees the light of day...
