Velvet Room - Megami Ibunroku Persona

Music by: Shoji Meguro

[@Nikolai-vq1jq]

This version of the velvet room sounds like finding a church in an abandoned town and you see a choir of ghosts singing the hardest fucking song you've ever heard.

[@iennefaLsh]

Choir so strong, it moves mountains.

[@RoderickArchieldJr]

It's really interesting that this version doesn't have the introductory part the later versions have. Still sounds great.

[@xSUBZEROxF3]

Because it's in the Good Ending theme. Poem For Everyone's Souls is this game's ending theme, whereas this song is just "Velvet Room"

[@mikevignola4213]

The version in P3 was called aria of the soul, it's similar but doesn't have quite the same emotion to it.

[@steelblake]

@@mikevignola4213 There is this rumour saying that the singer of the first version of the song passed away. If it's true or not idk but the woman credited in later games as a singer is nowhere to be seen in the credits of the first two games

[@yogoshun]

@@steelblake Pretty sure it's a synth sound effect actually.

[@thomasmacdonough288]

@@steelblake Au contraire to the rumor I don't think anyone is actually singing in this at all. I believe Persona 1 used the PlayStation's internal sound chip, the SPU, so it's actually just a digital voice. Pretty convincing though, right?

[@Max-ru4lp]

it's in this game, where Nate explains that "Persona" means Mask in Latin, that statement put our minds working every we play this game and the future ones, meaning that everytime we use a different persona, we use a different mask to confront the wide variety of issues.

[@CatManThree]

Pretty sure its explained in Innocent Sin as well-

[@alexanderavila4662]

Eh somewhat like that but in that sense some are better than others persona can also mean person too

[@Max-ru4lp]

@@alexanderavila4662 i understand what you said, and i think, the moment we acquire emotions and experiences, we also acquire personality, humans become persons the moment we acquire masks, we have tons of masks ready for each and every situation of our entire life, yet despite having different facets, we are one, our complexity is what makes us humans, but that's also what makes us persons, tit for tat

[@Fulgore2005]

"By the way, have you noticed that you carry more than one you in yourself? Perhaps the merciful you? The graceful angel you? Or the cruel demonic you? We live behind many masks. And you may at this very moment be living behind many masks." - Philemon

[@tephereth2078]

the only version of this song that gives me goosebumps

[@umyeh7586]

This is the best in my opinion because it's much faster and its feels like a high risk is at stake

[@jhosellovato4695]

Um Yea, do you like the Smash bros Ultimate Rendition of This song

[@Smenchevieve]

This is exact same that happened with the dedede theme. The key changed and it sounded less high stakes later on in the series. Of course I think the Super Star version is fire but the original sounded so different.

[@Pokemanic33]

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think that aesthetic really fits the Velvet Room. To me (who should say upfront he isn't familiar with the franchise as a whole), the Velvet Room feels almost like a safe haven to escape the chaos of the outside world. A slower, more calm track is more fitting for that aesthetic.

[@umyeh7586]

Jhosel Lovato wait the smash version is similar to this? And jesus thanks for the likes ive never gotten this many.

[@dan74695]

Um Yeh The Smash version is fast.

[@SwordsmanOrion]

This song really brings me back to the early PS1 days, the days of JRPGs before FFVII came out and not many people were playing them. I remember not really liking this game all that much, but it was so strange and different and was such a unique concept for a RPG that I just couldn't stop playing it anyway. This song, and the entire Velvet Room in fact, were one of the only things from Persona 1 that never faded from my memory. I can't remember anything about what happened in the story, but I remember the Velvet Room, the song, and Igor very well.

[@someboiwhogivesadamn]

I actually went in to get a reading, my Arcana is that of the Star. as for my persona, I've always thought it would be Michael, reason being that he is often times described as a guiding light for those in darkness, and that is what the star is meant to symbolize, guidance, inspiration, and renewed conviction.

[@Demi-Joker]

My guess would be Moon, and my Persona would be Siiva, the SiIvaGunner channel mascot (what's funny is that Moon actually fits real good with Siiva, because part of what it represents is illusion and deception, and the whole point of the SiIvaGunner channel is uploading mashups disguised as official video game soundtracks)
