Persona 3 / FES - Mass Destruction | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@24hourPrince]

A fun fact about this song, when Shoji Meguro brought Lotus in to record the lyrics for this song he read them and said "Nah man this is wack, this beat goes hard though" and proceeded to freestyle the first verse completely. When they decided to make FES, they just had him write the second verse instead of someone else

[@mirageowl]

I love how he also just freestyles when they perform this live too

[@ilavain]

people tend to disrespect Lotus when talking about persona music, but his input is so massive even as far as persona 5 with him writing tons of lyrics for Royal music

Reasons why this one is particularly popular are 1) It's kind of an old meme, so it managed to be discovered by more people than usual Persona fanbase. 2) It's the ONLY standart battle theme in P3. Bosses have their own ones but whenever you're in the main dungeon Tartarus, this song is the only song you hear in battles. Tartarus have 264 floors. 3)Extremely basic and catchy chorus. You can't go wrong with no context BABYBABYBABYBABY

"IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!" I Love that battle theme! Also that the FES Version is a second Part of the Song is Just cool

[@Zethrae]

I absolutely love this song. It's the main battle theme in P3/FES so you hear it all the time. The music in P3 was one of the biggest reasons I even got into Persona as a series, and I've not been disappointed yet! Lol On a side note, you could almost take P3's Mass Destruction as verse one and FES as verse two with the progression of the song.

[@TheGamingKiller242]

The dancing game does that. It combines both versions.

[@minkhollow]

"Wiping All Out," the battle theme for the FemC in Persona 3 Portable, also slaps.

[@osvaldaspaslauskas5040]

Sadly it's very short and goes on loop a lot I haven't played it but I can imagine it looses the appeal even quicker than this song but with this song when in battle you don't notice it looping as much I'd say. I do actually really like the femc battle song and suits her well sucks that it's so short

I am of the belief that this should've just been one song. luckily, the dancing version mixes both seamlessly.

[@Redblaze27]

Yeah, the FES version is really part 2

[@marche800]

I like to look at the FES version as the second verse to the original, since the original doesn't have a proper second verse. I know some later remixes treat it that way too, mixed the two into a first and second half.

[@brendantjeerdsma492]

That's probably how Lotus Juice intended it. Plus in Persona 3 Dancing, the two verses are put together as 1 full song.

So absolutely iconic. It’s definitely got meme status because: BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY But like legit it’s really quite the jam and is a great bop. Never gets old even though it’s a battle theme, meaning you hear this one constantly. Now you gotta eventually listen to the female main characters battle theme ‘Wiping All Out’ honestly I find it to be just as good as this one. Honestly a lot of the FeMC route songs are just as good as the original male portags ones.

[@Sekainoowaride]

So when it comes to story, SMT is infamous for being very dark and super serious, the Persona games however are slightly less depressing...within contex cuz bad things happen in all games, Persona 1, 2 and 3 in particular, but even if the series started going in a "Brighter" mood from P3 on, even P4, arguably the most cheerful and positive Persona game ever, is still a Murder Mystery with named characters dying.

Reasons this track has so many views 1. Like you said the song is very well made, its catchy, its fun, its an enjoyable experience all around 2. This is the main battle theme of Persona 3, and thus it is heard a lot in game, its an easy one to gravitate to 3. This song is in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and was even used in one of the trailers to show how Music effects the stage 4. Memes, this song got very popular for awhile due to the BABY BABY BABY BABY part at the beginning

[@andrewskorch]

So i'm surprised no one i saw mention it but you talked about wanting to see persona live performance, and persona has an event called persona super live, which is just basically a persona concert with a couple of announcements sometimes. There's one in october this year tmk.

[@nofuture104]

Deep Breath (the version one from the train mission) and Changing of the Seasons are my favorites from 3, I love all of the Persona soundtracks but I always appreciated how P3 embraced an unapologetically weird niche fusion of trip hop, hip hop, pop, and house that can sometimes feel like a more poppy prototype of 2010's era industrial/abstract hip hop at times. P3's music always kind-of felt to me like it was a big risk with the general crowd of Persona fans and I'm happy they took it because it's very nice to have the one that appeals most to my more core tastes to point to when persona music comes up.

[@kademaxwell6025]

Persona 3 was my first persona, played it back before I started highschool, and having a high school setting itself made it a bit extra special. I actually rented it from Movie gallery or blockbuster I forget which but beat it before i had to return it. Was an amazing experience I had for that period in my life. Introduced to this type of music in games for the first time, the dramatic shift in game's story and tone from what I was used to.

[@solomon9655]

I wish genres like this were more common. What a crazy fusion: hip hop rhythm with trumpets, piano, and guitar and it works SO WELL Makes me want MORE

[@ZeldaGamer2005]

The thing is that Mass Destruction FES is more of a second verse than a remix. Original Mass Destruction is the battle theme for Persona 3 main story called The Journey and Mass Destruction FES is the battle theme in a epilogue called The Answer.

[@worstnightmare8556]

[@PatrioticEagle26]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

[@Golemie]

Hell yeah, time for BABYBABYBABY to blast through. As cheesy as it is in a lot of ways, it's still probably my favorite normal battle theme in the series. I never got tired of it, just this hip hop beat coming through while desperately fighting to the top of Tartarus. Good stuff. Also, maybe it's not the right place to ask, but has there been any consideration to maybe listening to more tracks from Undertale or Deltarune? Hell, maybe even playing them? They're relatively short indie RPGs with absolutely phenomenal music. Gameplay, characters, and story aren't a slouch either. They're popular for a reason, though some of the songs Toby Fox has put together, like Hopes and Dreams, A Cyber World, Field of Hopes and Dreams, the track literally titled Undertale, and, of course, Megalovania, all of them just take the games from good to amazing. Really would love to see you delve into those games, either through a music reaction or actually playing them. God, watching you play them would be a blast, to see your reactions to the music in the moments they play. Either way, always happy to see more Persona on here.

[@phntmthf5505]

“Now’s Your Chance To Be A” and “Big Shot” are also good

13:43. Well persona been phenomenal on their battle ost. Which is this one mass of destruction Will mainly always play when you encounter enemies in the dungeon. And since this game takes you much grinding in dungeon almost you can't escape from the enemies since that more rewarding to you , you'ill always hear this song everytime. And it'll takes your heart at no time, and will ear worm you for a while. But still in my heart the top of it from persona 3 is the Battle for everyone souls the version i like is the electrical guitar version with some bass (This version perform live at 2012 by shouji meguro and the band if i'm not wrong)

[@TheDeadTexan]

Persona 3 came out at a time when the landscape of gaming was changing pretty dramatically. Then next-gen consoles were coming out and boasting huge production values and pretty insane visuals. It felt like a lot of older styled games were going to be left behind in this new era. Then Atlus released a turn-based JRPG on what was considered a dead platform, and people who went out and played it instantly fell in love. It had an unmatched art style, incredible music, and a style of gameplay that felt familiar, but new. Mass Destruction is the centerpiece when people mention the music mainly because it stands out so much as it's the main battle theme, but also because as others have mentioned it's been memed into relevance over the years along with "Specialist" from Persona 4.

[@manbearpigsereal]

Very "feel good" song as you put it, in a game where the main theme is death and coming to terms with it lol

[@Mrinsecure]

This is the main battle theme for Persona 3, so it *needs* to be good for you to not get tired of it. And, to be honest, I was kind of burned out on it by the end of my playthrough, but it's still a banger.

It's an old meme, the BABYBABYBABYBABY part specifically

[@mushinbujin]

I used to do the same thing. I had a demo CD for pc games that had a few great tracks (I think it was Chaos Overlords and Muzzle Velocity.) I also had a Top Gun: Hornet's Nest cd that I would listen to in the car. The game was okay but the rock was unparalleled. I don't know the answer to your question but I'll say this. The Persona 3 soundtrack makes you feel cool, like one of those cool kids I'm sure you've heard about. I love how some games take an unexpected music format and set a battle to it (Mrs. Krista Yoslav/Assault Horizon much?) and this game is no exception. You're grooving into battle feeling all cool with your gang rather than... something else. Like, let's say, the "meat grinder" mentality of Doom or some epic orchestral thing. This is good too, but very different in that it doesn't really get you hyped up to take down this boss (at least not me). Maybe you feel like dancing with it instead. Speaking of which... you haven't done Deja Vu/Mrs. Krista Yoslav from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon yet, have you?

[@jamesjames7868]

There are like 5 or more different official remixes of this song.

There's a version of this in P3D that combines both versions. As for why it's so loved, some of it is nostalgia for sure, but it is really catchy. I like it because it makes me want to dance. I personally like the original version better, or the mixed version.

[@Noctemsia]

huh, i'm surprised you hadn't reacted to this song already

[@Juicifrost]

See, it's missing the gunshot at the very beginning and then the five seconds of wind sound as the game scrambles to load the battle scene. Or is that just the PSP version?

I might just be remembering incorrectly but that's the case in every P3 versions Always either "cool, a battle" or "OH GOD MY MP AT 0 AND EVERYONE'S TIRED PLS NO" when you hear that sound

[@heerotomoe]

For me, this song is an ear-worm/meme. Not that it isn't great on its own, but after hearing it for tens of hours in P3's big af dungeon, it kind of lives in your brain. You go from "huh, cool song" to "aghhhhsjsjsjsks make it stopppp" to "My SONG is on the RADIO, it's time to GET UP and DANCE" Also, just stumbling upon random comments saying, BABY BABY BABY BABY and instantly the song will restart the tape deck in your head whether you want it to or not Basically, it's good

"It's almost barely a remix" Honestly, it's the subtleties of it that make the FES version so fun, so I don't blame the Dancing game for just combining the two for a verse 1 and 2 medley.

[@Ilwenray85]

The difference between these two versions is the lyrics in the rap... FES is almost an entirely new song except the chorus section. Hell, even the title Mass Destruction is not there anymore. Persona has sad songs (some of them I like more than the happy ones) or songs that make you uncomfortable on purpose (like the one you obviously disliked, made to simulate a panic attack) but those are not the first ones people remember. About the gameplay, they are as special and mixed as their VGM xD Combat is a turn based rpg like OG FF7, but outside of it you have the schedule management genre, because you need to do a lot of things with the time you have, a full school year: -You need to get good grades as a student or is game over -You need to grind exp in combat to be able to win the battles -You need to spend time building relationships with people around you, with the chance of romance :P And kind of visual novel genre with all the stuff you have to read. Stuff that you will remember and will move you, but still a lot to read xD I joke about how one of my best friends got into Persona thanks to me and loves the games, but what if we fight horribly and stop being friends? It would be a horrible thing to be linked to, because maybe he won't be able to enjoy the games the same way any more by association.

Especially 3 , Battle for everyone souls is on my heart and the best version is when the transition to the opera singing it using bass, i think it's on live performance 2012 if i'm not wrong. Anyway. They have they on flavour. If you on the mood hearing pop , fun, and heart warming persona 4 is the best for you. The other as you know 3 has the best rock, hip-hop, metal and electrical instrumental. Then 5 mostly jazz influence.

Ah yes, mass destruction; we are finally here. While Burn my Dread was the first thing that jumped out to me as, huh this is great, this game has likely got more great music. However, while Burn my Dread is good, Mass destruction was the one i will consider my favourite from P3 - It could be because i love music that can keep repeating indefinitely, but that is hard to say for certain - You do hear it a LOT since it is the main battle theme, so it could get old for some people during gameplay, but somehow i have never really heard bad things said about it.

Persona 3 can be described as the following: Local Orphan leads a suicide squad to go fight the moon while listening to early 2000's rap.

[@alejandrotti10]

So yeah, this battle theme blew expectations... And so did the fact that you'll hear it a lot due to the Tartatus size, normal monsters with instakills, party members guided by AI (fixed on Persona 3 Portable), and game over trigger if the protagonist dies. Still catchy tho. And as someone pointed out, P3 FES version is like P3 FES itself. Almost true to the original, but instead making the role of a sequel.

Persona 3: Dancing All Night combines the two versions into one definitive track. There's also a Reincarnation version which is also good but not my personal fave. The movies have their own version at one point as well. Another is a version remixed by Atsushi Kitajoh.

[@Prism988]

I think one of the reasons this song is special is because there's a definite contrast between the gloomy atmosphere of the gameplay sections during which it is played, and the very funky nature of the song. They went with really bold design choices in Persona 3, which is why when it hits, it really slaps, but when it whiffs, well... Not saying they weren't bold with P4 & 5, but those have generally more consistent aesthetics.

Soo since you've opened the floodgates of many a franchise now (FFXIV, Persona, Nier, etc...), I was wondering if you'd be in to open yourself to yet another very prolific fandom... Touhou songs, maybe ?? Obviously the go to choice would be to have you react to U.N. Owen Was Her, but like everyone and their uncles have already reacted to it, that's not fun (if you do end up dipping your toes in Touhou I expect you will get to this song eventually anyways, like it's a rite of passage almost). Instead I would recommend this one : "Entrusting The World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World" (from Touhou 17, one of the newest entries). (Added context in case you're unfamiliar with the franchise, Touhou is a series of shoot em up game that has been running for quite some time now, the first game being released in 1995 or 1996 I believe. It is pretty prolific, the game having 18 numbered main line entries as of today, with multiple official spin off entries. Of note is that every main line game (and *most* spin off games) are all made by a one-man team, ZUN from Team Shanghai Alice, from actual game design/making to composition and etc.. The series is famous for being cited among the video game franchises with the most number of soundtracks, actually I think FFXIV only topped it around Shadowbringers life cycle. It's also famous for its extremely prolific fanbase and its gazillions of fangames and fan "bands" called "circles" that do arranges, remixes and vocal covers of the series' themes. Actually in 2010 the Guinness World Records named Touhou "the most prolific fan-based shooter series". Anyways, I suggested only one song cause otherwise the list of things I'd like to submit would be longer than a CVS receipt, but if you dip into these waters, I guess you'd have a lot to keep yourself busy~)
