Very impressive description there, this what l felt during the game, that's why l say it is unmatched. It describes each chapter without words in the game and only the player can understand it through the music but not only that, it makes you reflect on the past actions that were made and motivates you to push on to Ascension especially during the last block despite grinding or unfortunate moments suffered from battle.

This theme is easily unmatched against every other theme in any game. Persona 3(and Portable) soundtrack has the most unique soundtrack l ever heard in my life. It's truly unmatched.
I'd argue that Kimi No Kioku (Memories of You), Memories of the School, Memories of the City, and Living With Determination (both the regular and the "- Iwatodai Dorm Arrange -" version) matches it. And let's not forget Battle for Everyone's Souls.
I say any game Yoko Shimomura composed for tends to have a great OST. Bravely Default as well, and so many other games. Saying Persona has the best soundtrack compared to every other game ever is really closed minded.
In Greek mythology Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, where the greatest threat to humanity and the gods would be imprisoned so they would never put fear in the hearts of humans again. Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface. Sound familiar? Edit:100 likes, thanks guys that’s a lot
On top of this, Orpheus ventured to Tartarus (Or Hades, the site I read was kinda confusing) to rescue his love, Eurydice. If we just replace Eurydice with the world... sound familiar?
Also, I noticed that there is a pattern with the blocks' names. We have: -Thebel ("world"); -Arqa ("ground", the opposite of "water"); -Yabbashah ("dry land"); -Tziah ("drought"); -Harabah ("desert"); -Adamah ("soil"). I noticed that the names of blocks 1-5 have names that progressively mean something "drier" than the one that preceeded it. Block 6 inverts this trend. It could resemble S.E.E.S journey: in the beginning they have the "world", which means they have a precise objective in mind and that they want to accomplish it. It also means that the S.E.E.S wants to find a way to stop the Dark Hour to protect people. As the game's events progress, they progressively lose their hopes (so, they get "drier"), only to renew it when they have to face the Fall (so, their "desert" becomes a "soil"). Adamah also means "Earth", and it could refer to the fact that the S.E.E.S wanted to keep the planet safe from the Fall (basically renewing block 1's meaning)
SPOILERS I absolutely adore how the theme of Tziah suddenly changes from the vigorous feeling of being at your peak to a terrifying uneasiness after October 4th. And then once Harabah hits it sounds noticeably more sour. Like none of your party members want to be there. It embeds this feeling of crushing dread and sorrow within your brain that you just can't seem to shake. Meguro is a genius
While Tartarus' design represents the world itself and how Nyx is going to kill the world(block 5 looks psychedelic and Nyx is planning to turn everyone into the lost), the music represents the situation in the game. Thebel(block 1) opens at the beginning of the game. The music is grim and dark. In the game, the characters don't really know what to do with the dark hour to make it disappear. They also don't treat each other too well. Arqa opens just a little before Fuuka joins S.E.E.S and when they realize that every full moon a big shadow appears. At that point, they think they know how to make the dark hour go away(killing all the big shadows). The music has a bit more detail showing that they now have an objective. Yabbashah's theme is pretty quiet. In the game, not many events happen during that time. Tziah's theme is a bit sad and melancholic. At the time when you traverse through it Shinji dies and Ikutsuki reveals that he is a traitor. During Harabah S.E.E.S doesn't know what to do. A lot of them are going through some tough times. A lot of things happen(Like Ryoji remembering that he is death) that's why the music has a faster pace. Also you can hear something that sounds like screams of agony. I don't think I should explain that those screams are representing s.e.e.s. mental state. Adamah sounds almost heroic and feels like its trying to fill the player with determination(undertale reference was unintentional). In the game when you can finally access Adamah, everyone was able to face the fact that they're going to die. They found the resolve to fight and decided that if they were to die they want to die knowing they died doing everything they could instead of dying in bliss.
adamah is my fav block for the very reason. music sounds heroic as if you're rising from a fall, the block itself is the perfect final destination, the white that's brighter than the block before. definitely my fav part of the game
@@akifashu yep, it's great in block 1, the room is dark while in block 6 it's bright considering you give everything you have and make sure to fight nyx no matter how impossible it was and that's why i like tartarus, music theme is the complete journey, better than mementos
@@shannitrageorge2367 its not like im brave i kinda like this bgm for some reason... i find some sort of inner peace for some reason when walking around at night playing this...
I think it's because Nyx descends upon the surface. She doesn't rise to it. And when you look at the description of the Greek Tartarus , "Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, where the greatest threat to humanity and the gods would be imprisoned so they would never put fear in the hearts of humans again. Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface." Nyx being the Harbringer of the Fall (literally the end of Humanity), it makes sense that Tartarus actually goes up, as some sort of ""ladder"" for Nyx to descend upon the world.
i think its just because hell is upwards, the true tartarus is in the sky and kaguya as nyx is bringing the upper hell to the higher ground... i mean, hell is from nyx perspective and from progagonists perspective, they are in hell, and you go back to surface by opening the door with your friends to leave it... but ur the one that looks behind
It’s because they’re in a metaphorical hell where the only way to go is up. If you include Greek mythology, threats to gods or the world are much higher as they have the will and drive to escape, which I’d assume is why it’s more dangerous upwards instead of downwards.
I love P3 so much. Been a long road, 10 years have went by since I first played it, yet it still pops in my head from time to time. Forever my favorite game.
i find tartartus's theme chilling yet soothing, somewhat triumphant as it progresses. theres only one other song ive heard thats ever been able to capture the same feeling and it's literally meant to represent the feeling of your last moments in life. i suppose thats the message to be taken here; death is frightening but nothing to be afraid of
I love the feeling of hope in these songs just escalate from nothing in block 1 to “yup Minato’s gonna die by the end of this one way or another” by block 6
Meguro is a god. It's the only explanation I found. From Trauma Center to every Persona, he is able to convoy the feels that you need to feel in that moment.
0:00: You arrive at the classroom and nervously sit down in your seat. You arrive five minutes early and have a moment to go over all that you've learned for the final exam you're taking. Some other students are talking about this final exam, but a majority of them seem to be just as nervous as you. 0:42: The teacher arrives and starts handing out the exam to each student. A silence befalls the room, and the only thing that can be heard is the teacher giving directions and the passing of papers. 1:25: The exam begins, and you start answering questions. Slowly, but surely, you manage to answer the questions at a comfortable pace and gain confidence. 2:39: The problems get harder and harder. You start to lose momentum. Your confidence is tested, and your nervousness from earlier starts coming back. You begin to wonder if you'll ever finish this exam on time. 4:26: As you rack your brain and get yourself together, the answers begin flowing back into your head. With this regained knowledge, you quickly gain your confidence and start working faster and smarter than before. Your confidence at this point has become unbreakable. 6:13: Your teacher tells the class they have 10 minutes left. However, this does not bother you one bit, for you are almost done. Pushing your knowledge to its absolute limits, you finish your final exam with complete faith in your answers. NOTE: I posted a comment like this in another video showcasing all of Tartarus's themes, but that got taken down. It's been a long time since I made that comment, and I felt it was necessary to recreate it here.
No sé cómo poner esto en inglés, así que voy. Anoche estaba jugando y murió uno de los personajes. Hoy vengo a este vídeo para ver las diferencias entre cada canción de cada bloque... y me deprimo nuevamente porque ese personaje era con el que más me gustaba farmear en Tartarus, escuchando por horas los soundtracks de los bloques 3 y 4. Me dio algo escuchando cada canción y ya es la tercera vez que pongo seguido el video. Good job, this video is so beautiful. The differences are soft, and you feel more and more focused on it when you feel that in the previous block, the ost was different. Simply awesome xD
Sometimes i like to imagine my hard days as Tartarus, each day of the month gets more and more harder and to motivate myself, i listen to the more intense ost, until the end of the month. Feels like i'm truly facing something and being determined to get things done! ^^
When ever I go into tartarus and there's a floor with less enemies and I hear fukka or mitsuru say "they have a bad feeling about this" you already know what's coming.
The timestamp is nice, but if you take a look at the block list on the right, you'll notice that on the left, there's a bar with a stick figure highlighted in yellow that moves every time the block theme changes, and the block it's on is the block number theme
Bro this mix is absolutely amazing. The way each block progresses seamlessly into the next, just like in game, is amazing. Edit: this mad lad is still hearing comments on a 1 year old video Edit: he removed my heart after thanking him for hearting me what

Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface. Sound familiar?
You can really feel the tranquility from the music as you wander the halls of Tartarus. When i first saw Tartarus in P3P i immediately thought, "Can i see the view from up there?" A few hours later, turns out i can't.
Note to self: never space out in Tartarus no matter what, unless you're on a boss floor or at the document floors. The reaper will demolish you no question if you're not close enough to the stairs. In my first run of P3P I remember I started focusing on something else while in Tartarus and I let the screen go black and when I got back to it we were fighting the reaper and I think the MC was the only one alive. The same thing happened more recently while I was playing FES, I left the screen on the options menu for the PS button thinking it would pause the game when I went to check something, I got back and we were fighting the reaper, not only that but after I fled from the fight I ran straight into it AGAIN. Damn the reaper is terrifying, one of these days I'm going to start hearing those chains in my nightmares.
Imagine if Tartarus wasn't randomly generated and represented humanity and culture climbing to reach something they shouldn't. Seeing floors progress from old shrines to giant chapels to laboratories... Tartarus could be a tower of babel for humanity's faith and will to progress forward. That's what the demons represent - our stories throughout history. If Tartarus was the representation of the changing ideas and ideologies- it would be amazing
The high school life in terms of Tartarus themes: 0:00 You're starting your freshman year in high school, a whole new journey awaits you for the next four years with new people to meet, new subjects to learn about, and new extracurricular opportunities to explore. 0:42 You've finished the freshman year and are now going to enter into sophomore year, being comfortable with how the high school life is like. 1:25 You've endured the sophomore year and have turned 16, starting a new experience with driving and working jobs. 2:39 You've finished sophomore year and are starting out the junior year, considered the hardest year in high school as you plan to take on the ACT/SAT, AP classes, jobs, college plans, and etc. You're very nervous as to how you'll make it through this year. 4:26 You've finished the junior year, reigning on top and settling down as you've finalized your college plans, taken the ACT/SAT tests, and gotten well adjusted to your schedule as you will soon turn 18. You'll start senior year with a more relaxed mind. 6:13 You've endured senior year, you've turned 18, and you're going to graduate soon. It's time to finish those finals with high scores as final marks, enjoy your lasting moments of the year by attending the best school events (such as prom and sports games), and start preparing soon to shift into the college life. At the end, you've graduated and congrats, you'll start your new journey in college for the next four years.
My favourite was always the first block, its just you and the new folks exploring with a great sense of unease about it all. Like a school after dark hehehe
I see a bunch of people mentioning P5 vs P5R mementos and I just wanna say The original mementos theme being repetitive was the entire point. It was atmosphere. The versions in Royal are all good songs, but they lose a lot of the atmosphere by being more upbeat, when mementos is supposed to be a slog and be unnerving. The addition of a progressive theme in Royal was a good idea, but I personally feel that in execution, it could've been done better. New Layer sounds like an absolute mess. The best way to handle it would've probably been to rebuild the original theme from the ground up, making it a more interesting track while not deviating nearly as far from the original atmosphere as Royal does. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
the transition from 2 to 3 i forgot about so i freaked out for a sec like "did i rewind? did my earbud mess up?" and then i remembered that block 3 is weird
Listening to all blocks of tartarus showing how far you came just feels great especially getting to block 6 this is why I will keep gassing up Tartarus no matter what.
I wish you could teleport back to any floor and not just boss floors though, it's really annoying to have to go through floors again to get to where I left off.

Harabah: Absolutely devastated by all the deaths they have witnessed, being betrayed and losing a member, a lover and a father, and as they receive news of the impending unpreventable doom, things seem *dark, bleak and bloody.*

In Greek mythology Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, where the greatest threat to humanity and the gods would be imprisoned so they would never put fear in the hearts of humans again. Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface.
Sound familiar?
Edit:100 likes, thanks guys that’s a lot
Akira Kurusu OOOH YEAH, BADADADA DARADADA, BABY BAY
On top of this, Orpheus ventured to Tartarus (Or Hades, the site I read was kinda confusing) to rescue his love, Eurydice. If we just replace Eurydice with the world... sound familiar?
Robert Clark yeah he ventured to hades, though that’s just another name for the underworld entirely excluding Tartarus
Also, I noticed that there is a pattern with the blocks' names. We have:
-Thebel ("world");
-Arqa ("ground", the opposite of "water");
-Yabbashah ("dry land");
-Tziah ("drought");
-Harabah ("desert");
-Adamah ("soil").
I noticed that the names of blocks 1-5 have names that progressively mean something "drier" than the one that preceeded it. Block 6 inverts this trend.
It could resemble S.E.E.S journey: in the beginning they have the "world", which means they have a precise objective in mind and that they want to accomplish it. It also means that the S.E.E.S wants to find a way to stop the Dark Hour to protect people. As the game's events progress, they progressively lose their hopes (so, they get "drier"), only to renew it when they have to face the Fall (so, their "desert" becomes a "soil"). Adamah also means "Earth", and it could refer to the fact that the S.E.E.S wanted to keep the planet safe from the Fall (basically renewing block 1's meaning)
reminds me of mementos
Block 1 is my nightmare. I remember not playing p3 for a week because of the freaky music and the looks of the place
@Yo YoYo He did say he didn't play it for a week so I guess he played it again.
How old were you? lol
@@JackisJack_ i played it last december on psp
Block 3 is my nightmare because I'm under leveled and the next day is the hyrophant boss please help
@@DillsArtThing oof
Block 1: Denial
Block 2: Depression
Block 3: Anger
Block 4: Bargaining
Block 5: Acceptance
Block 6: Transcendence
Nice comparison to the stages of grief.
I feel that block 2 and 3 could be switched
Isn't anger 2nd, then bargain, and then depression?
that would be more for interstice of time.
I feel like block 3 is depression seeing as it is more "quiet" like block 1 but still having a few extra instruments that appear on block 2.
Block 1: Depression
Block 2: Anxiety
Block 3: Guilt
Block 4: Sorrow
Block 5: Fear
Block 6: The End
Block 6: The Truth
No, that's the next game
So the last three block have the name code of cobra by metal gear solid 3 snake eater, interesting
Block 6: Acceptance (Death)
Accurate

I absolutely adore how the theme of Tziah suddenly changes from the vigorous feeling of being at your peak to a terrifying uneasiness after October 4th. And then once Harabah hits it sounds noticeably more sour. Like none of your party members want to be there. It embeds this feeling of crushing dread and sorrow within your brain that you just can't seem to shake. Meguro is a genius
This is actually really peaceful to fall asleep to
Fall asleep... forever.

@@TiredSobayeah yeah yeah yeah
While Tartarus' design represents the world itself and how Nyx is going to kill the world(block 5 looks psychedelic and Nyx is planning to turn everyone into the lost), the music represents the situation in the game. Thebel(block 1) opens at the beginning of the game. The music is grim and dark. In the game, the characters don't really know what to do with the dark hour to make it disappear. They also don't treat each other too well. Arqa opens just a little before Fuuka joins S.E.E.S and when they realize that every full moon a big shadow appears. At that point, they think they know how to make the dark hour go away(killing all the big shadows). The music has a bit more detail showing that they now have an objective. Yabbashah's theme is pretty quiet. In the game, not many events happen during that time. Tziah's theme is a bit sad and melancholic. At the time when you traverse through it Shinji dies and Ikutsuki reveals that he is a traitor. During Harabah S.E.E.S doesn't know what to do. A lot of them are going through some tough times. A lot of things happen(Like Ryoji remembering that he is death) that's why the music has a faster pace. Also you can hear something that sounds like screams of agony. I don't think I should explain that those screams are representing s.e.e.s. mental state. Adamah sounds almost heroic and feels like its trying to fill the player with determination(undertale reference was unintentional). In the game when you can finally access Adamah, everyone was able to face the fact that they're going to die. They found the resolve to fight and decided that if they were to die they want to die knowing they died doing everything they could instead of dying in bliss.
adamah is my fav block for the very reason. music sounds heroic as if you're rising from a fall, the block itself is the perfect final destination, the white that's brighter than the block before. definitely my fav part of the game
@@akifashu yep, it's great
in block 1, the room is dark while in block 6 it's bright considering you give everything you have and make sure to fight nyx no matter how impossible it was and that's why i like tartarus, music theme is the complete journey, better than mementos
glad to find this...

*WE WON FELLAS !!!! THE REMAKE IS HERE !!!!!!!!!*
It's sort of strange to me that tartarus is going upwards instead downwards because in greek mythology it is below the underworld
The tower is actually inversed since it came out of the ground during the dark hour
I think it's because Nyx descends upon the surface. She doesn't rise to it. And when you look at the description of the Greek Tartarus
, "Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, where the greatest threat to humanity and the gods would be imprisoned so they would never put fear in the hearts of humans again. Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface." Nyx being the Harbringer of the Fall (literally the end of Humanity), it makes sense that Tartarus actually goes up, as some sort of ""ladder"" for Nyx to descend upon the world.
@Maaka Cross it cant go down due to the sands of time below it because of the p3 crew being unable to let go of the p3 mc
i think its just because hell is upwards, the true tartarus is in the sky and kaguya as nyx is bringing the upper hell to the higher ground... i mean, hell is from nyx perspective and from progagonists perspective, they are in hell, and you go back to surface by opening the door with your friends to leave it... but ur the one that looks behind
It’s because they’re in a metaphorical hell where the only way to go is up.
If you include Greek mythology, threats to gods or the world are much higher as they have the will and drive to escape, which I’d assume is why it’s more dangerous upwards instead of downwards.
Kudos to you my dude. I've never seen something done so seamlessly and look so nice!

"Something's wrong I can feel it"
I love P3 so much. Been a long road, 10 years have went by since I first played it, yet it still pops in my head from time to time. Forever my favorite game.
same. :3
100%
Remake let's gooooooooo!
i find tartartus's theme chilling yet soothing, somewhat triumphant as it progresses. theres only one other song ive heard thats ever been able to capture the same feeling and it's literally meant to represent the feeling of your last moments in life. i suppose thats the message to be taken here; death is frightening but nothing to be afraid of
Death is frightening but nothing to be afraid of is such a powerful line jesus
These transitions are so good like darn
I’ve never played these games, but good lord I’ve gotta admit the OSTs are phenomenal
First of all, love your username and the book. Second, do yourself a favor and play these games. They're so worth it
They're exceptional games, 3 feels slower but it's easily my favorite for it's story, characters, and theme.
Well you can download steam and play persona 4.
I recommend you watch the Persona 3 movies, at least. 💙
This might be one of the coolest videos on this platform.
I love the feeling of hope in these songs just escalate from nothing in block 1 to “yup Minato’s gonna die by the end of this one way or another” by block 6
di-duh-di-duh-di-duh-di-duh-di-duh-di-di-duh-di-duh-di-duh-di-duh-di-duh
Meguro is a god. It's the only explanation I found.
From Trauma Center to every Persona, he is able to convoy the feels that you need to feel in that moment.
This has to be by far the most depressing dungeon theme i've ever listened to
I don't really think it's depressing. It's more of an ominous and melancholic, yet serene and calm at the same time.
Well P3 isn't called Depression: The Game for nothing so that fits.
More on the creepy end then depressing to me... something's just wrong.
P3: THAT IS THE POINT!
*Persona 5Royal Da’at wants a word with you*
Heaven wants a word with you.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I put on P3's uniform in mementos.
BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
If it changed the mementos music to Tartarus if you wore the uniform, that would just even better
And now:
DISTUUURBING THE PEEEEEACEE!
Sounds like 2020 already.
We're in the 4th block now...
(EDIT) 5th Block Now.. August to November
Try 5th. Or at least, according to one comment here.
Once we reach the 6th block the world ends
I low-key hope that apathy syndrome become real and engulfs the world with it by the time we reach the final block
5th is August-November right?
Then the 6th block must be December, the final month.
And then, January will be the most depressive month of our lives
Is it me, or does hearing the theme of Adamah after beating the game make me want to cry?
Thought it was just me
Holy shi- I can kinda feel like I wanna cry
Not alone on that one..
Nah i wanna cry too
Me too
I just can't wait to experience this again ❤
The sound, the atmosphere, everything will be nostalgic, my god persona soundtracks are amazing ❤
0:00: You arrive at the classroom and nervously sit down in your seat. You arrive five minutes early and have a moment to go over all that you've learned for the final exam you're taking. Some other students are talking about this final exam, but a majority of them seem to be just as nervous as you.
0:42: The teacher arrives and starts handing out the exam to each student. A silence befalls the room, and the only thing that can be heard is the teacher giving directions and the passing of papers.
1:25: The exam begins, and you start answering questions. Slowly, but surely, you manage to answer the questions at a comfortable pace and gain confidence.
2:39: The problems get harder and harder. You start to lose momentum. Your confidence is tested, and your nervousness from earlier starts coming back. You begin to wonder if you'll ever finish this exam on time.
4:26: As you rack your brain and get yourself together, the answers begin flowing back into your head. With this regained knowledge, you quickly gain your confidence and start working faster and smarter than before. Your confidence at this point has become unbreakable.
6:13: Your teacher tells the class they have 10 minutes left. However, this does not bother you one bit, for you are almost done. Pushing your knowledge to its absolute limits, you finish your final exam with complete faith in your answers.
NOTE: I posted a comment like this in another video showcasing all of Tartarus's themes, but that got taken down. It's been a long time since I made that comment, and I felt it was necessary to recreate it here.
underrated comment
Okaten I’ll remember this next time I’ll take an exam

Anoche estaba jugando y murió uno de los personajes. Hoy vengo a este vídeo para ver las diferencias entre cada canción de cada bloque... y me deprimo nuevamente porque ese personaje era con el que más me gustaba farmear en Tartarus, escuchando por horas los soundtracks de los bloques 3 y 4.
Me dio algo escuchando cada canción y ya es la tercera vez que pongo seguido el video.
Good job, this video is so beautiful. The differences are soft, and you feel more and more focused on it when you feel that in the previous block, the ost was different.
Simply awesome xD

Truly one of the greatest video game songs ever written.
The 2 dislikes are from Nyx and his alt
From Nyx, Rouji and Thanatos
Id argue Nyx is the onlistening and not commenting, liking or disliking. And that Erebus is the one who dislikes
The dislikes are from his 13 phases.
Remember, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed.
Me: the firts block sounds more cool than I rembember
The video: 0:42
Me: oh daaaaamn

Sometimes i like to imagine my hard days as Tartarus, each day of the month gets more and more harder and to motivate myself, i listen to the more intense ost, until the end of the month. Feels like i'm truly facing something and being determined to get things done! ^^
You've got this. Keep it up!
When ever I go into tartarus and there's a floor with less enemies and I hear fukka or mitsuru say "they have a bad feeling about this" you already know what's coming.
absolutely adore the way the song progresses. I could listen forever.
That swell in intensity between blocks 4 and 5 has me levitatin’
THIS IS GODLY! WELL DONE!

The timestamp is nice, but if you take a look at the block list on the right, you'll notice that on the left, there's a bar with a stick figure highlighted in yellow that moves every time the block theme changes, and the block it's on is the block number theme
Nice catch! Wasn't too hard of an effect to do in After Effects.
So glad Mementos music got this approach
This is well done!
Looking foward to reload version of this

I just saw this comment a year later, I don't remember removing the heart. I think the edit did it.
In Greek mythology Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, where the greatest threat to humanity and the gods would be imprisoned so they would never put fear in the hearts of humans again. Though of course sometimes these monsters are known to escape every now and than, creating chaos in the depths of the underworld or if they are really powerful, the surface.
Sound familiar?
Mementos?
Sounds more like in game Mementos than in game Tartarus
Wow. This is disgustingly good. I almost can't believe that a masterpiece like this was created by the same dude that made the mementos music.
The reason why the mementos theme is like that is to show the repetitive life that almost everybody is living
Coming back to Tartarus
You can really feel the tranquility from the music as you wander the halls of Tartarus.
When i first saw Tartarus in P3P i immediately thought,
"Can i see the view from up there?"
A few hours later, turns out i can't.
Well, you can during one of the Full Moon Bosses, at least.
@@Gestrid that... that was the only time...
I love how they decided to make mementos more like Tartarus in Royal. Makes going through it a lot more interesting
Thanks for making this ❤ P3 is one of my favorite Persona soundtracks and this is so well done.
why is this so good
edit: i originally was referring to the song, but the transitions are top notch and seamless
You be the judge of that.
@@SHUTDOWNOfficial fair enough
Thank you for extending this track, I have added it to my programming playlist.
Note to self: never space out in Tartarus no matter what, unless you're on a boss floor or at the document floors. The reaper will demolish you no question if you're not close enough to the stairs.
In my first run of P3P I remember I started focusing on something else while in Tartarus and I let the screen go black and when I got back to it we were fighting the reaper and I think the MC was the only one alive. The same thing happened more recently while I was playing FES, I left the screen on the options menu for the PS button thinking it would pause the game when I went to check something, I got back and we were fighting the reaper, not only that but after I fled from the fight I ran straight into it AGAIN.
Damn the reaper is terrifying, one of these days I'm going to start hearing those chains in my nightmares.
Imagine if Tartarus wasn't randomly generated and represented humanity and culture climbing to reach something they shouldn't. Seeing floors progress from old shrines to giant chapels to laboratories... Tartarus could be a tower of babel for humanity's faith and will to progress forward. That's what the demons represent - our stories throughout history. If Tartarus was the representation of the changing ideas and ideologies- it would be amazing
Goddamn, yes! I wish we got something like that

The high school life in terms of Tartarus themes:
0:00 You're starting your freshman year in high school, a whole new journey awaits you for the next four years with new people to meet, new subjects to learn about, and new extracurricular opportunities to explore.
0:42 You've finished the freshman year and are now going to enter into sophomore year, being comfortable with how the high school life is like.
1:25 You've endured the sophomore year and have turned 16, starting a new experience with driving and working jobs.
2:39 You've finished sophomore year and are starting out the junior year, considered the hardest year in high school as you plan to take on the ACT/SAT, AP classes, jobs, college plans, and etc. You're very nervous as to how you'll make it through this year.
4:26 You've finished the junior year, reigning on top and settling down as you've finalized your college plans, taken the ACT/SAT tests, and gotten well adjusted to your schedule as you will soon turn 18. You'll start senior year with a more relaxed mind.
6:13 You've endured senior year, you've turned 18, and you're going to graduate soon. It's time to finish those finals with high scores as final marks, enjoy your lasting moments of the year by attending the best school events (such as prom and sports games), and start preparing soon to shift into the college life.
At the end, you've graduated and congrats, you'll start your new journey in college for the next four years.
Man,I really love this comment ♥️
Such a naive way of looking at high school. Wish I had your innocence
We know why you’re back
My favourite was always the first block, its just you and the new folks exploring with a great sense of unease about it all. Like a school after dark hehehe
I see a bunch of people mentioning P5 vs P5R mementos and I just wanna say
The original mementos theme being repetitive was the entire point. It was atmosphere.
The versions in Royal are all good songs, but they lose a lot of the atmosphere by being more upbeat, when mementos is supposed to be a slog and be unnerving. The addition of a progressive theme in Royal was a good idea, but I personally feel that in execution, it could've been done better. New Layer sounds like an absolute mess.
The best way to handle it would've probably been to rebuild the original theme from the ground up, making it a more interesting track while not deviating nearly as far from the original atmosphere as Royal does.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
I consider the original Persona 5 Mementos theme the musical incarnation of pain and suffering.
@@SHUTDOWNOfficial I'm gonna take that as a good thing, because I see it as a good thing 😂

the transition from 2 to 3 i forgot about so i freaked out for a sec like "did i rewind? did my earbud mess up?" and then i remembered that block 3 is weird
Listening to all blocks of tartarus showing how far you came just feels great especially getting to block 6 this is why I will keep gassing up Tartarus no matter what.
How could I forget this theme! Great for slaying deadlines. You get to work faster as you ascend higher in the tower!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
good thing there's those teleporters so you dont have to redo it from the start every time :)
I wish you could teleport back to any floor and not just boss floors though, it's really annoying to have to go through floors again to get to where I left off.
Please spread out and search the area!
