Persona 3 Reload OST is an ESCAPE FROM REALITY | MUSICIAN'S REACTION

[@floop1662]

"It's like an ocean blue, drowning". You got it down 100%. That is EXACTLY the theme and aesthetic of P3.

[@WateruEater]

I think it is only Reload's

[@3of6mylove]

@@WateruEater The overall theme was still there in the original, just a lot less on the nose about it.

[@Dime_Guy98]

@@WateruEater plus, the water motif had gone back even to the p3 movies, and really became apparent with p3 dancing. The original game is the only piece of p3 media that really doesn’t have any water in it. The themes are there, just not the physical aesthetic

[@lefishe5884]

The track called “Mystic + Tartarus” is the theme for Tartarus, a massive dungeon that you explore throughout the course of the game. It’s divided into several layers, and as you get to later layers, the soundtrack adds new elements and instruments, so you can hear the music evolve during your journey. It’s also definitely the song players hear the most because you spend a LOT of time in this area.

[@elkapi7764]

I was so glad they finally did a track that goes through all the levels (kinda)❤

"Memories of School" also takes from the verse from "Memories of you". Really enjoyed hearing your color theories about the different songs, a lot of them were very spot on! Also, only 3 new songs were added to Reload, the rest are renditions of the original OST.

[@espurrseyes42]

Battle Hymn of the Soul is a remix of the recurring Velvet Room theme that's been with the series since P1 I believe. That might be why it sounds familiar.

[@yakuzaposter620]

Aria of the Soul first appeared in P2 Innocent Sin as one of 4 possible tracks. P1 did not have it. Sorry for necro.

[@espurrseyes42]

@@yakuzaposter620 You sure it wasn't? Because I just searched it on YT, and there are a couple results for it that AREN'T the PSP version.

[@yakuzaposter620]

@@espurrseyes42 Aria of the Soul did have a precursor song just called "Velvet Room". In P1 but it wasn't the song we know. it sounds similar but its tempo and a lot of the instrumentation is different. its not the song we know and love, Aria of the Soul came to synthesis in P2 (or good ending of SEBEC if you want to count that by its name, but its way longer and way different). and then they added the descending piano prelude in P3 ps2. the PS1 games and their PSP ports cycle between a few diff tracks at random when going to the Velvet Room. t

[@Raddkann]

Memories of You and Burn My Dread (the ending and opening themes of Persona 3) motifs are littered EVERYWHERE throughout the soundtrack.

[@J2ojuiced95]

The new songs that were composed for Persona 3 Reload are all fantastic. It took me awhile to get used to Azumi Takahashi’s vocals, as they’re not as powerful as Yumi Kawamura’s were, but she really fits the vibe they were going for with Reloads cleaner, more modern sounding arrangements.

[@arielmartinez94]

12:20 now that you've heard the original mass destruction, and the reload version of the song, bringing interesting commentary about them, im curious to see your unbiased opinión about "mass destruction tetsuya Kobayashi remix" , a remix made for the Persona 3 dancing game

[@fel524]

I think the Persona 3 Reload original soundtracks are my favorites in the ENTIRE Persona series (including 1 and 2)

[@jacobnguyen8372]

Deep Mentality’s focus on beats 2-3-4 honestly make it one of my favorite Persona songs out of the entire franchise

[@elkapi7764]

The ending song combines Joy, Memories of the School, and Memories of the City. Also really hope you’ll check out the P4 boss battle themes. They’re super good. The Fog is one of my all time favorites and both The Almighty and I’ll Face Myself (Boss) are bangers too!

[@Raddkann]

it’s more like all of those songs were born from the ending song.

[@Raddkann]

11:02 I actually got chills from how accurately you nailed this

[@KapitanWasTaken]

26:55 it's actually Burn My Dread ~last battle Reload~, a rearrangement of Burn My Dread ~last battle~ from the OG game, a different song from Burn My Dread.

[@hundvd_7]

33:13 Just checked your other Persona 3 reaction, and yeah, you listened to the original version of Changing Seasons. So this is new.

0:27 The screenshot referred to the way Atlus released their soundtrack on Steam - instead of giving a standalone album like most Steam games, Atlus went "all out" and created a full-screen music player that's half-assed, bitcrushes the soundtrack, pauses whenever you're not focusing on the godforsaken player, and effectively drains batteries of whomever's running it on their portable Steam Deck/handheld player. The music itself is great (mainly the new tracks, some 'remastered' tracks sounds lacking compared to its original), and that's why I usually play extended versions of 'Color Your Night' whenever I need to focus on my work.

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

All the remastered ones are better than the old ones stop parroting this 5 IQ take 👍

[@hermdude]

@@HenriqueRJchiki Then you should wash your ears with rubbing alcohol if that's the case. Wash your eyes with them as well while you're at it. I did say some, not all. Make sure you take care of your last two brain cells while you do that. 👍 Most disappointing version has to be Battle Hymn of the Soul with the slight lack of instrumentation compared to the original. Iwatodai Dorm and Changing Seasons are just different, but I don't mind. Mass Destruction is also different, but rather prefer the original.

@@HenriqueRJchiki frankly I disagree. Some tracks are not as good as the original (MD reload) but some are great improvements (Changing Seasons). This is an opinion. Claiming that every remade track is better is an opinion.

39:27 "Jump around now" By the way, this one is just a sample from a popular library. It comes pre-vocoded and everything. The other song that _used to_ heavily feature such a sample was the next one, Iwatodai Dorm, but those samples got replaced by Lotus Juice I'd recommend checking out the original of that one-it's good content

From P3 Reloaded specifically I really 'It's going Down Now' (that chorus line! And Lotus is so on point..!) and the newly added lyrics for 'Changing Seasons' make it even more of a chill vibe~

The thing with Mass Destruction the Reload version people hate it because of the "frog sounds" in it lol and hate how the female singer doesn't say "Baby" "Baby" the same way the old singer did in the original version, I do like the old version better cause i did play that back in 2009
