You need to react to full metal alchemist brotherhood openings. It's literally the top rated anime in the world and you still haven't given it a chance yet.

[@morethanlikelylemmy9695]

For those who know whats going on fr, tears in our eyes indeed 😞

[@cameronholtan3407]

​@morethanlikelylemmy9695 Yeah... I hear that opening, and if I'm at work the song is an immediate skip.... there's no crying in cannabis.

[@Jrel777]

Within the context of the game…easily the most emotional song.

[@Garland41]

I know that knowing the lyrics and their meaning absolutely destroy me each time.

[@HollowGolem]

😊 I first beat FES about 14 years ago and to this day it's about a 50/50 whether or not I cry when I hear this song.

[@DodacLA]

This and "Memories of the City" are such good Mood Setters for the End of the game.

[@theadmiral4157]

And even if you haven't played the game or don't know the context, it's still a great song to listen to while chilling alone

Shoji Meguro said in an interview that he considers this his magnum opus.

It was in a reddit AMA

[@keksuntee]

I mean, rightfully so. The song is fantastic, both the old and new version. Especially with the context of the game

Pretty sure there are many people, myself included, who'd agree with him. It's much deserving of that consideration.

@@ChrithBraown Not exactly sure what exactly it is that I said that would prompt you to take offense, but pop off, I guess. Could just as easily have assumed I was including you in the "many people", and saved yourself the comment.

[@Crowded.]

It's criminal that the official soundtrack leaves out the incredible violin solo. That part is listed as the "instrumental" version of Memories of You but the credits of Persona 3 Reload blend both versions together so well

[@Stickguy101]

I was wondering where that was! Seriously I felt like I kept expecting it to appear but it just... didn't. It sucks that they did that

[@crownenvmr]

I totally broke down when I reached that part 😭

[@tylerbowler8362]

for real I wanted tony to hear that shit so bad

[@HollowGolem]

For context, this plays over the ending credits and has melodic motifs from other songs from earlier, specifically "memories of school" and "memories of the city" It's bittersweet as all hell.

[@BelBelle468]

Those songs, Joy, Color your Night, and Living with Determination all use motifs from this song as well

[@BurnedOutWeeb]

Especially when the lyrics are being sung from Aegis' prospective to Protagonist-kun.

[@undertaker2766]

One of the very few games that made me cry, like not a tear, UGLY CRY AND ALL. I sat there, barely seeing the screen through my tearing eyes and thought "what an amazing experience I just had". I knew the song from before playing the game but it just hit different there. The themes and lessons this game taught me will forever stick with me. Burn your dreads folks.

[@Cobrav809]

TRUE! i finished reload knowing basically every major spoiler and the song, yet when i played it for the first time i felt really sad, crying a little. but hearing this at the end really got to me

[@danydacon]

The music 😃 The scene 😩

[@mkloven101]

More like 😭

[@arielmartinez94]

This is the end credits song, and There's a lot of emotional weight upon this track that carries over from the finale of the game, and its my favorite end credit song, second favorite being "our light" from Persona 5 Royal, which i recommend you react to as well

[@LampyGames]

this song is what id call the definition of bittersweet. the lyrics are very different from the vibe yet compliment it perfect. Thanks Tony!!!

[@JDPixelado]

When this song started playing, I was crying. I cried like never before the day I finished this game. Listening to this track is something painful and at the same time beautiful for me, it is an experience I will never forget. Those little piano notes mean so much to me.

[@DubsBrown]

Finished the game last night and to me the beautiful thing about this song is the motif at 3:11 is reused for the song “Joy” which plays every time you hangout with your friends throughout the game. So when you hear this song in the end credits, it’s sonically reminding you of all the times you spent after school with your buds but now with lyrics that reinforce that feeling. 😭

[@Echo_heat]

Also if you listen to other songs you can hear this songs motif in almost all of them. You can hear it in “Joy, Because I will protect you, and color your night if you listen to the first notes of each song.

[@陳威麟-q7o]

This a farewell song for our protagonist. An end of the session or story. It is bright because it was theme in Spring, where school days end in Japan. A long but short journey, to memorize.

[@sub.sa.3058]

I still can't believe he hasn't reacted to When the Moon's Reaching Out to the Stars, with the awesome and wild drum beat and bass it has

[@criticalhit4582]

I just finished Persona 3 Reload yesterday and this song hits like a truck with the context

[@24hr-Gaming]

I would recommend looking up the translated lyrics of this song. The original composer Shoji Meguro calls this song his magnum opus. It's a very bittersweet song to match a very bittersweet story.

[@tacoyael6]

One of my favourite songs from the Persona series, it always manages to get a tear out of me. Persona 3 is a classic now (I'd recommend you to check out the original Persona 3 version, although this one is still a banger). By the way, this song is full of motifs that are presented throughout the game in other pieces of the soundtrack, like in "Memories of the city", "Memories of school" and some other ones that I can't remember at the moment. The themes have different variations but it's really satisfying once you can recognize them and listen to this song, where all the motifs appear once more. I don't know if I'm making sense (English is not my first language) but I really recommend to check out the whole OST, it's pretty amazing and full of little details. Thank you for this video Tony! :D

[@AndrewDLuffy]

My Spotify is just persona 3 reload vibes now

[@DubsBrown]

Same, my On Repeat is just all persona I need help haha

[@tylerswanson6358]

my favorite part is how the piano motif carries from the previous song,"(because) I Will Protect You" , into this one...chills every time

[@iancallumdunmosquera726]

I still can't help but bawl my eyes out when i hear this, it was a good thing i was alone when i finished the game

[@rayquazakingdom]

when i played through the original persona 3 for the first time a few years ago and the song kicked in, i sobbed uncontrollably for like an hour straight and cried on and off for another day or two

[@charlieGee64]

Hearing this back again after some years knowing the context of the song is just so beautiful. It reminds me of a whole hearted eulogy in a funeral and it destroys your soul with the feeling of a grateful but sad goodbye expressed through the raw emotion of the vocals and harmony of the instrumentals. I strongly recommend reading more about the lyrics or just playing the game because it makes this absolute masterpiece of a song just so much more powerful than it already it is.

[@shoveitup_inc.9717]

It’s really is just a song that makes you want to smile

[@ZaLamander616]

And cry.

[@Tearintime]

Bruh after that ending I was crying during this song

[@MarkerInTheSand]

what??? smile???? this one tugs at your heartstrings and make you wanna cry!!!

[@undertaker2766]

He is right though, I cried all I had but with a smile on my face

[@christinec4246]

The composer for this song named it his magnum opus, and it’s not hard to see why.

[@chasingperfect28]

It's such a beautiful track. I get goosebumps whenever I hear it. The quintessential Persona 3 song. It encompasses the themes of the game entirely. Living life, and being aware that death is an inevitable end but enjoying the journey that each soul takes. The song takes on another life of its own once you read the English translation of the lyrics.

[@KenAmadaIRL]

I think you should also listen to the persona 4 ost! The opening songs (Pursuing Your True Self, Shadow World) are very good, and some of the background music (Backside of the TV, Heaven) for the dungeons really just hits the spot. Obviously, there’s still the normal background music (Heartbeat, Heartbreak & Signs of Love) that is awesome too.

[@mcskeet8067]

Damn it, song out here making me cry even in this video

[@garbadiel]

when you dig into songs like these man i'm just sitting at my computer and smiling when you notice all the cool stuff i do. makes me really happy. thanks.

[@springmint4986]

Almost cried watching this man after reload

[@benjaminmajeski140]

I love this song because of the leitmotif with other songs in the game, namely memories of school, and memories of the city

[@CsMatt]

Ill always prefer the original version of this one but still absolutely love this song. It never fails to get me emotional.

[@Supernerdland]

With the context of the game, this song makes me cry a little every single time I listen to it 😭

Hey Tony! Glad you love this song! I would reccomend checking out the intrsumental version of this song as it is likely more up your alley I would say. Excited to see more content in the future!

[@joren3275]

Gotta say I like the old version better, the singer's voice just fits the mood better for me

[@wormsforguts]

the composer of this song and the entire soundtrack of persona 3-5 said that this was his magnum opus, so happy the remake’s composer did his work justice

[@kaboshiVT]

Would be cool to see you do comparisons to the originals because the songs in persona 3 reload is a remake of the game and the songs were also done differently.

[@anabenskywalker122]

Thanks for breaking this one down. It’s nice actually knowing what’s going on since every time I listen to it I can’t hear it over the sniffles and crying noises

[@vlander1992able]

When the final Door closes on the story, and you hear this song.

love it, the reload version feels very nostalgic for somereason :(

[@Crystalhair2024]

It sucks that no one is gonna react to the og one now because of reload

[@KingwolfLotts1]

Need more persona ost from you. I just can't believe Persona one of the best ost game isn't much in your channel. The last one before P3Reload realese it was long time ago. I hope you can react to this much often. I can guarrantee you it will be a nice ride. Tho i think you will more like on persona 4 base on your background. The groovines on Persona 4 Ost it just another level. I love every ost on that game , no one that i don't like or hate it. At the minimum maybe it just because the ost are purposely short and they make it loop, this kind a ost i like it while on the game but outside of the game Will not listening on daily basis Anyway just hoping you will react more to persona ost

[@byakkoz]

now we need burn my dread(last battle) !!

Persona is the only Video game franchise that leaves me with a tear once I finish a game from them I get emotional. For context I'm not an emotional person. For this game personally the scene that cracked me is when the protagonist is resting his head on Aegis's lap and the squad is rushing to the rooftop😢

[@VyseAttack]

I still don't understand why the official release also omits the incredible violin solo that was heard in the game's credits. Still an incredible song otherwise though

Persona loves to throw in callbacks to it's OST in the major tracks, so as a credits song it's fantastic thematically as well because you hear motifs from the other memorable tracks in the game that you probably spent hours hearing.

[@Til_What]

You should 1000% react to more NieR OST. I've never been as shaken by music as the last symphony tour had me. I've seen some insane concerts, but that took the cakes for sure. .
