Persona 3 Reload OST - Tartarus (Blocks 1-6 Mix)

Still waiting on my copy to arrive (Thanks Amazon), so I stitched together the Tartarus block themes into one piece.

I love when soundtracks do this. Adding an extra instrument to the song when you go higher up. Like a reward for reaching a new block

[@GhostWulf70792]

Its also a clever way to show progression. The song evolves alongside SEES. They grow in numbers snd strength and so does the instruments Tarturus.

[@WalterEgos.]

Like Yoshi's Island worlds, i love it

[@chaossonic210]

It also indicates the intensity of the situation too, the higher up you go, the more real things get and the closer you are to finding the truth of Tartarus

I hated it. I was looking forward to this game's version of the Tartarus themes and the fact that it spoiled the last variation like that legitimately pissed me off.

[@TactFNC]

damn did they do Tartarus Justice. The music too.

[@skittles536]

Pretty solid new version. I like how they made the weird record-scratch thing sound even more aggressive, and the extra instrumentation is great too.

[@plvto1]

[spoilers ahead] Block 1: Makoto, Yukari and Junpei just awakened to their personas. They are unfamiliar with Tartarus and it's mysteries, and aren't very confident in their abilities. And this place feels pretty creepy.. Just what is it exactly..? Block 2: Makoto, Yukari and Junpei have taken down their first full moon shadow, and have gained a little bit of confidence. Not to mention Akihiko has joined the party, and soon Fuuka will as well. Block 3: Okay, but what are they doing this for? They begin to question themselves and their mission. The Lost are still very much rampant, and where did Tartarus and it's shadows come from? As the drums settle and the piano melody evolves, as they eventually learn a little bit more about what's really going on. Especially after summer vacation. Block 4: Well, we're gonna keep doing this right? We're in too deep. And fighting shadows is actually sort of fun.. Right? The melody is the same, but the song doesn't gives off the same bounce as the 2nd Block, are they really doing the right thing? Let's not forget losing someone very close to us.. If we're going to keep doing this, we at least need to do it for them. Block 5: Everyone has been enlightened, and the mission has changed. Even after the final full moon shadow was defeated, the Dark Hour still remains. They think the key to everything lies at the top of Tartarus, but does it really..? Conveniently a peculiar looking student named Ryoji has made his way into Gekkoukan High.. Block 6: They're no longer SEES, they're the Nyx Annihilation Team. The song is complete, and everyone shares a common goal. By any and all means necessary, even if Ryoji says Nyx is impervious to defeat, trying is the least they can do. After making the greatest and most important decision in their lives, they must scale the very final block of Tartarus, the tower they've been climbing since Makoto's arrival in April. What happens next at the top of the tower is indescribable with mere words.

[@zavaraninoveuhorky]

What happens next... is downright chilling

[@steinsschrodinger8688]

i don't know if this is original or copy pasted from somewhere, this is a nice summary of the game based of each Tartarus blocks

[@atpyro7920]

quite ironic that the dungeon named tartarus (often depicted as the lowest part of the underworld in Greek mythology, on top of being the name of the deity referred to as the ‘father of monsters’), is a giant tower reaching to the moon in a hidden 25th hour between midnight and 1 am, while the actual underground dungeon leading into the depths of the earth (metaphysically), is just ‘mementos’ (literally the plural of ‘memory’ in latin).

I have just completed the game in 75 hours, and strange enough, I rarely feel bored listening to Tartarus theme (maybe a bit on block 1 because of its limited instrument). Block 5 is pretty good and block 6 is a straight banger.

It took 30.floors in tziah straight with not leaving tartarus for me to really appreciate this song. Love how it ramps up tge tension.

[@TheHummingBirdJaiye]

I love how empty It feels and sounds in the beginning and the layers add more depth and fullness as you progress through both story and floors. Also, more shadows appear as more are victims to Apathy syndrome. It's so amazing

[@sakuucchan]

so thankful someone make a reload version of this. the tartarus themes, especially adamah’s always got me so hyped up. legit used to play this during late night homework sessions. this is seriously so good

[@rosaria8384]

I have to say that Reload's version feels more aggressive with the beat, and the rhythm hasn't changed (which is great), and the upbeat in Block 5-6 feels more natural than the original. However the piano feels less powerful compared to the original.

[@sirterry2444]

They probably thought that by making the piano's more gentle it would give the tracks more of a mystic feel to them. That's how I felt playing through but despite that I do miss the sound of the piano in the original.

[@towerenthusiast]

this gets me pumped for a long night of work

[@z33iihh]

Always loved Mystic, so glad they made it 10 times better in the remake

You are here for one of two reasons: you like persona 3, or you were chased by the frowning wall.

[@retrosal2263]

Block 6 is the best one and I listen to it for more than 10 or so minutes by the time it was too late to run from the reaper. He attacked me from behind but I still managed to beat him. Man I love this kind of music.

[@retrosal2263]

He is easy to kill bro but I was high enough to do it though. If you have a persona that physical barrier resistance to deflect the reaper attacks and shouldn’t be problem with that. That’s all he uses physically attacks pretty much. I killed one hit with main character that kills reaper 9999 respectively. I forgot what’s a called though.

[@crylune]

[@zavaraninoveuhorky]

Im pretty sure Ive met your comment on the original P3 Tartarus mix video

[@AWACSRumble]

I think we can all agree that we only truly learnt to appreciate the Tartarus ost after grinding for an ungodly amount of time. Jokes aside though, I love what they did with the Tartarus ost in Reload. The changes made are subtle but add so much. Wish I could say that about every track in the game though.

[@ninjakombatant9722]

I like how it sounds so distorted and warped like how Tartarus is.

[@Nolan2448]

This is wonderful, thank you for creating

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Note: Makoto is actually the strongest Wildcard because he had the death arcana inside him and also got some conection with Tartarus, not only that, said conection was what allowed him to make the great seal and he obtained his final powers as he is the MC that cared the most of his friends, so much he was willing to die unlike the others who met them for personal reasons and even if they were on the same, had way less preasure and personal conection with them

I'm considering adding this as an example to the TV Tropes page "Evolving Music". In addition to the added instrumentals, how would you describe the way the BGM changes with each new block? I want to say it gains new "phrases" but I don't quite remember if that's an appropriate term here...

[@magicfibre]

I wish they changed the Tartarus song for Reload. Hearing this bland melody for a total of 20-30 hours when playing the P3P port was torture enough. It's a shame, because the other tracks are great, idk what devil tempted them to use the worst one for a place you'd spend the most time in.

[@doomslayer8985]

That's where persona 5 royal ost is better, each palace with their own unique while tartarus only 6 different arrangement versions but nearly the same

[@magicfibre]

​@@doomslayer8985 Fr, Persona 5 OST is goated in all aspects. Persona 4 had some pretty bland TV world songs, like the one in Rise's dungeon, but at least each one was unique and had a very specific vibe. If P3 wanted to do multiple rearrangements of the same song, they could have at least went with a song that doesn't have a melody as boring as a default phone ringtone.

[@ExplosiveMeows]

Smoking crack. Tartartus theme is fire. They aren't supposed to be compared to the palace themes, let's talk about what Tartarus' replacement really was - Mementos. And that BGM was 5 notes of super trash, and never changing.

[@VenomLeon]

I wish they added the option to change the song while roaming in Tartarus. They had it in the PSP version. *Makoto carries an MP3 Player, for crying out loud!* 🙄

[@Gestrid]

​@@VenomLeonThat option exists if you have the DLC.

[@mewsi7968]

Bro is hating just to hate like god damn, if you don’t like the music then that’s your opinion bud, but it does NOT mean that the music is “mind numbing” for everyone else. I find that it conveys the emotion and vibe of Tartarus really quite well, and it’s a unique song in an interesting way. Not every area of the SAME PLACE has to have a crazy ass different soundtrack and it just loses its feel if you do that. If there’s anything persona games are REALLY good with, it’s the music.
