[@ju2tunknown]

Now I understand why people like this song more than Lone Prayer. It fits the fact that it's a random encounter, and the fact that the team is most likely very focused on defeating whatever enemy there is. Edit: to clarify, this makes it feel more like a skirmish, everyone's attacking an enemy and doing whatever necessary in order to swiftly defeat their enemies

[@doodlebugfour7070]

The PS1 OST has this otherworldly dreamlike atmosphere to it the other games OST lack.

[@HylianBelmont]

Doodlebug Four Exactly! "Doctor" in particular is a great example of that. The PSP's version OST for example is good on it's own merits, but it lacks the "dreamlike" atmosphere. Which makes it less distinctive (and fitting IMO) in comparison.

It fits the game a lot more than the persona 3-ish theme Shoji Meguro did for the remake. Don't get me wrong, i like Shoji Meguro's stuff, but the original OST for persona was a lot more fitting for the game.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

I agree. Persona 1 and 2 was still pretty much a SMT game. Persona 3 was when the game changed tone

[@mengo329]

Yeah it kinda fits the much more SMT-ish tone going on. This theme feels straight up dangerous.

[@skywoofyt5375]

that's true, i feel like i prefer Lone Prayer more so for the fact it makes me vibe while planning stuff, this feels like it'd just blend into the background and resurface as small soundbites in my head that i have no idea where it originates from in the futures and that irritates me sometimes.

[@Shadowwolf-1337]

That moment when you gotta fight toilets and basketballs in your school hallway while in a parallel dimension

[@LtheOriginal]

This theme always reminds me of TRF's EZ DO DANCE (yes yes, Mark danced crazy!) Which would kind of make sense, given how TRF were really popular in Japan at this time.

[@scrappy2082]

@@charleswisconsin9196 its not necessarily in melodic content, its that their riffs have the same rhythmic values assigned to their notes and they have a similar song structure (i think their bpm is the same too) Theyre not direct copies of each other, the differences/similarities is more like comparing Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" with "Run Llama Run" from the Emperor's New Groove score.
