PSO2 Tokyo 2028 Night Battle Music

[@Ryan91487]

Order here: (Do note the lyrics are often jumbled up as they are all different parts that are spliced together/randomized, so for this iteration, this is how the lyrics go.) This is all up to about 5:48 or so where it later transitions into the boss variation which has fewer lyrics to go off of which is more repetitive than the original song hence why it will not be added. Lyrics: Waiting for shining stars to fall I am lost and I am found Walking in the darkness Looking for the star and escape Who are you and who am I? Wandering around the space You can do it I do pretend In the mist can I trust you without rules Now the moonlight shows me my role Nobody knows the truth Believe in yourself Call me please if you need me I want to change my mind But if you don't need me I want to shut down the door Realization for dreams wake me now And let me go do my best Imagination for dreams yes I know Battle on the same planet You are lost and you're found Waiting for the daybreak Searching for the light every night Where are you and where am I? Wandering around the town I do make it We are creatures. In the end can I trust you from my heart? Now the moonlight shows me my role Nobody knows the way. Believe in yourself Call you again 'cause I'm lonely I want to change my mind But if you don't need me What can I do tell me? Realization for dreams wake me now and let me go do my best Imagination for defense, yes we do I am on this blue planet! [interlude] I have a secret Keeping it mind You can't read my heart Why did you help me? [Saxophone + Guitar] Please stay with me Please leave me alone So much emotion My heart's like a forest But I must keep running Go ahead! Try! Realization for dreams, wake me now and let me go be with you Imagination for truth, yes we do I am on this blue planet! Realization for truth, wake me now And let me go be with you Imagination for truth, yes I know Battle on the same planet.

So they ARE randomised! Jesus Christ, every time I heard the song and was trying to sing along, it drove me insane after always getting the lyrics wrong, each replay it was like the song was gaslighting me!

[@Dennis19901]

Listening to this track in game, the lyrics seem vastly different than this version of the song. Including the song itself is different. I'm sure there's actually two versions of this song. Edit: Yes, there's indeed two versions of the song, one battle and one non-battle. However the lyrics are still different

[@Ryan91487]

It makes more sense if you played Episode 4, it plays during the mission when you fight Bethor. Most of the phantasms you fight in the Tokyo missions were those that Bethor controlled, including Train Ghidoran. The Tanks, Zombies, and Helicopters were the ones Hagith controlled.

"No matter, what country our home is... We are born on Earth. And this is our Homeworld! We will defend it! Whatever it takes!..." Don't know why, but that's what I get when playing on this map. Awesome track, yet for many people It doesn't mean something like this. Just my own imagination...

[@calimantis]

1:08 There's something about this part of the song, whether it's the battle version or not, that makes me involuntarily tear up. I've no idea why. Something about the way it sounds that just hits really deep down I guess, I've honestly no clue what it is

[@felipevitor4919]

I think it's because back then we're used to be more uplifted and inspired. this song kinda sotftens the loneliness a little bit, other pso2 songs gave me a similar feeling

[@himitsugawa4226]

Same here. But through my imagination - it's like ARKS agents and Earth Defense Force standing on the roof of skyscrapers, looking at the sunset/sunrise, saying something like: "Fighting for what we live. Living for what we're given." and then - they're arming photon arts/weapons and getting into the battle, on ground and in the air, opposing against phantasm and falspawn forces. Like this music is the final borderline to get the outcome - us, or them. Uniting all people together.

[@makoto9281]

Feel you man. NGS dropping today, it's even stronger and feels way more nostalgic already.

[@AP-cb1th]

I think it might be the tone… I haven’t played through the whole game and I’m a new PSU player but I somehow feel hella nostalgic hearing this even playing PSO2 despite never have played any PSU titles before NGS.

@@raventhorX No, you can also play it through side missions (many of which are replayable). Also, story mode is replayable. I think that. I think that they just did not play the game in a long while, either because they got tired of the JP version or any othe reason, really.

@@Soraion- god I cant WAIT for persona in NA, didn't get far enough in the story in jp to have context for that, but I absolutely loved seeing that EQ pop up.

[@SylumSolosEverything]

Around the second half of EP4, I surprisingly got *pretty* invested in the story... but that still does not make me forgive the crime that was the reverse-SAO fourth wall break at the beginning... it felt like a complete trainwreck in consistency with the setting and story arc (remember at the end of EP3 when Xiao and the MC promised they would find a way to save Persona while figuring out how to seal the Profound Darkness? Then 2 years later the MC wakes up from cryo and it's like everyone just kinda shrugged and forgot about it... so much for the power of ideals and friendship. Poor Persona.) and my cognition of the entire PSO universe got pulled out from under my feet. Worse off, it killed my roleplaying spirit each and every time I got called out by the characters for being some person behind a screen. It completely broke the veil of fantasy for me... The train and the Yamato are pretty cool, though... and Mother is a villain I can take seriously; unlike her cronies... though I'll give the lesser villains credit for being cartoonishly entertaining. It was sort of endearing.

[@AnemoneMeer]

@@SylumSolosEverything Fun fact, pretty much everything in Episode 4 is extremely relevant to the plot of episode 6. As weird as it is to say, it's actually the explanation for Shiva's motivations as well as explaining what the photoners were doing with their failed attempts to replicate Xion. As much as the whole Isekai thing is pretty awkward, it is pretty much the ideal way to raise an army to figure out what happened in Mother's absence since we'd pretty much all jump at it. Me and a friend of mine went over everything and were actually really surprised how important Ep4 is to the plot.

[@lambnathan97]

@@jehuty8839 A lot of OG PSO’s aesthetics and story progression were a lot different, in a better way, than PSO2 imo. PSO took itself a bit more seriously with its story and characters. The overall story narrative was much more mature and presented in a much more interesting way. You could still make crazy characters and there was some fun music but generally it matched the setting of what you were doing: working as a mercenary for your nomadic civilization while uncovering dangerous state secrets. PSO2 sorta feels like you never actually leave the casino area. Too many flashing screen notifs, the way that ARKS is presented makes the whole thing seem like a game show rather than a serious paramilitary organization. Don’t get me wrong, I love lots of things about PSO2, and I think fun, less serious settings and aesthetics should be available in the game, but it overall feels like it has Sword Art Online levels of unseriousness.

@@lambnathan97 You know what. That's valid and a very constructive reply. Have my upvote. I do wish we went back to PSO1 style of storytelling but PSO2 is fine for a free game.

[@Fade2BlackSS]

Facts. I was literally just saying this and how PSO2 is basically just PSO in name only. They're drastically different in tone and appearance. PSO was literally almost a horror game and the stories, atmosphere, music and characters supported that. There was always a sense of dread and mystery surrounding Ragol that PSO2 fails to capture for me. I miss that about PSO.
