1:21 To clear it up: Scramble is just the Japanese name for Strikers. Saying it’s a different game is like saying Persona 5 The Royal is a different game than Persona 5 Royal (they’re the same game)
@@GoldenMonti All good, it’s an easy mistake to make since there usually isn’t much title differences outside of an extra “the”, so the drastically different title for strikers is easy to mistake. Off the top of my head, the only other games with major regional title differences would be “Persona 4 Arena” & “Persona 4 Arena Ultimax” versus “Persona 4 The Ultimate” & “Persona 4 The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold” in Japan. Arguably worse than strikers’ problem since at least it’s still P5S no matter where you’re from but arena has its whole acronym change from here to Japan. Enjoyed the reaction regardless !! thanks for the video
For the slow intros in the persona 1 songs - the slow part is what plays before the first move is made. The turnups start once the first attack is made
Which is a thing they got from the Shin Megami Tensei games. Most megaten battle themes don't start until a punch gets thrown. (Nocturne is, as far as I'm aware, the exception).
The reason Throw away your mask has those lines is because Royal's theme is like escapism and attempting to change reality to one where all is perfect where you oppose that because it would make life pointless and it would rob the freedom of those who want to decide and strive to succeed
The whole point of Shin Mitsuo Tensei is that it's really a 8-bit remix of I'll Face Myself -battle-. Because of how boss and his dungeon is built, this song works needed way.
It still sounds kinda "empty", which is still in keeping with the character. "Fuller" versions of 8 bit music can still be made as shown with various add on chips like the VRC 7.
3:00 bro from the moment that hit, I'm getting the same vibe as Ky Korean Theme from Guilty Gear X2 Reload, is call Pillars of the Underworld, if you haven't seen/hear of it before, i recommend giving it a listen, it is so peak you won't regret it.
Throw away your mask hits very hard, knowing the context you hear it from it feels like its pleading and it's so emotional I get teary eyed. It's beautifully tailored for the moment.
you have GOT to play persona 5 royal because those final two boss themes are cooking when you know whats happening also keep your faith is the instrumental version of throw away your mask
When you say Throw Away your Mask sounds like a negotiation, you put it perfectly. As for what you're negotiating for...you'll see👀 Peak video and hope you'll love the Royal content
I will tell you this about Throw Away Your Mask… It’s definitely a villain song. And it’s the fight you don’t want to do. It’s the fight you NEVER wanted to do. Because all they want is the best for you. But the best in this case… it ain’t the best.
Just going through the first few themes on your list, it's pretty obvious what Shoji Meguro did for the series, as his work on the Persona 1 remake pretty cleanly splits your choices off of the originals.
Honestly I feel like I gotta play the game to actually get the whole vibe of the songs then I feel like I can appreciate them more but that game is so old man
You should've listened to New World Fool fully, it's not a loop you missed the different guitar solos. Also you forgot The Fog (p4 final boss theme and imo the best boss theme in the game)
Royal is more or less just an upgraded version of 5 with extra content and throw away your mask is the "true" final boss theme of royal. That is all the context I'm giving u.
Since you're listening to the Persona songs. I'd say you should look into SMT music. Trust me, the battle themes and boss themes are GODLY (pun intended)
Persona 1, 2 (Innocent Sin) & 2 (Eternal Punishment) were all originally on the PS1 in it's release year (2000), and were brought to the PSP in 2009, after Persona 3 & 4 were finished for the PS2 in the few years prior. It gives the first three games higher quality assets & sounds, which came with remaking the music and even adding new ones (with vocals). That's why there's so many duplicates, like how Persona 3's entire soundtrack was remade for Persona 3 Reload this year. Also, unrelated, but seeing how you're a new Persona fan, I don't know how new you are, I still kinda am too? Played Persona 5 Royal back in December 2022. Never was a fan of anime, or RPGs, or turn-based games, but I got recommended it by a friend since it was free on the Xbox Game Pass. Kinda didn't like the beginning TOO much (won't spoil), but the music kept me playing. Eventually I got addicted to the series, playing all the games in reverse.. then all the spin-offs. Some of them I didn't like at all, but again, the music hits too good. It took me until Late 2023 to finish all the games, playing 5 hours a day whilst not playing any other long-term games. If you're gonna fall down this rabbit hole, you better be LOCKED IN dawg, shit's wild.
Damn bro like the only ones I’ve played are persona 5 (completed), P3R (in progress) P3 fes (only the beginning) p4 (last halfway) and p5 tact so my bag not that deep but I haven’t been spoiled on anything for the most part but after reload I plan on finishing 4 and definitely checking out the others for sure also thank you for the information for helpful 🫡🫶🏼
That's a wild take for me. Reload tries to be boppy with it, original goes for a chill sorta unsettling feel. It goes with the atmosphere and the somber tone of the og.
i really hope you remake this sometime soon, you somehow managed to miss a majority of the absolute top tier boss songs like the persona 4 golden ones and persona 5 royal 😭
Personally I think the reload version of Unavoidable Battle is a bit of a downgrade from the original simply because the guitar isn’t as powerful and the drums sound like they come from an electric drum kit rather than a proper one
1:21 To clear it up: Scramble is just the Japanese name for Strikers. Saying it’s a different game is like saying Persona 5 The Royal is a different game than Persona 5 Royal (they’re the same game)
OHHHHHHH MY BAD lmao I thought it was just a different game I probably should’ve did more research on that lol thank you for clearing that up

If you listened to Counterstrike for just a FEW more seconds you would've heard absolute peak of a guitar solo 😭
CounterStrike took me away already I already know I woulda lost it 😭
3:00 I never seen anyone be forced to eat their own words as quick as this 💀
Mf shut me up rq 💀
The reason Throw away your mask has those lines is because Royal's theme is like escapism and attempting to change reality to one where all is perfect where you oppose that because it would make life pointless and it would rob the freedom of those who want to decide and strive to succeed
I just laugh when the first theme just shut you up after saying it boring
💀💀💀
1:38:40 You know a song gets to you when it grips your very soul like this.
Tesso is a boss that's a big robot rat so its meant yo be a funny boss, hence the song being like thst
2:58 THE TIMING LMAO
Caught me all the way off guard 😭
What the hell? It was missing 2 of the greatest themes in persona 4! The fog and the battle theme for Marie!
Marie version of Face Myself is sick
@@kinsleymoore349 hell yeah it is!
Yea I’ve been getting a lot of comments abt I might have to run it back at some point 💀

He stopped "The Almighty" right as the best part was coming up.
OK ILL REDO IT 😭😭😭

If it’s from guilty gear I’ll definitely will give it a listen guilty gear ost is so peak 😫
Hint: throw away your mask is...a boss battle theme
The stare at the camera when Tesso came on sent me bruh 💀💀
Heartful Cry is definitely the best boss themes in Persona, imo
Missed the 2nd half of the genesis when it calls back other songs in persona 4, that's the sick part
Good video though I shouldve said, we like the content man
true!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Almost give me an hearth attack when you didn't put the almighty and i'll face myself in the top tiers
Face myself is a certified banger and almighty took me by surprised 💀
Can't wait until you listen to SMT mainline lol.
SMT is basically the parent series of this series and the bangers there are insane.
I’ll definitely check it out
I see ur a man of culture as well 😎
Welcome to the “Heartful Cry is Peak” club
What a banger man makes me feel alive
13:47 : When the boss says : "Persona"
Somehow I never noticed before just how Strange Journey flavoured "The Genesis" is until now
Fun Fact: Persona 5 also uses True Will as boss music in Shadow Sae’s fight and Akechi’s fight! I’d put it right behind Jaldaboath though.
Throw away your mask hits very hard, knowing the context you hear it from it feels like its pleading and it's so emotional I get teary eyed. It's beautifully tailored for the moment.
Like I gotta play royal now cuz That track was talking TALKING
the genesis is definitely a full song, and not just a loop of a build up
felt bad that you skipped it lol cause its so cool
My bad I definitely need to go back and finish ur not the only one to tell me that 😭
Throw away your mask is peak in Persona 5 Royal. Word of advice: max out confidants Akechi, Kasumi, and Maruki and you’ll get extra arc
Thank you soldier 🫡
You only need Maruki maxed out
Mist/Fog (P4 Final Boss Phase 1) isn't on the tier list.
Yea they missing a lot honestly 😭
And it sucks because that song is peak
I personally love Knights of the Holy Lance because of the chanting and what it sounds like along with the context.
you have GOT to play persona 5 royal because those final two boss themes are cooking when you know whats happening
also keep your faith is the instrumental version of throw away your mask
I plan on playing it soon bc they’re just too many bangers man I gotta find out what I’m missing 😭
When you say Throw Away your Mask sounds like a negotiation, you put it perfectly. As for what you're negotiating for...you'll see👀
Peak video and hope you'll love the Royal content
Ok now I’m intrigued and thank you 😭🙏🏽
I will tell you this about Throw Away Your Mask…
It’s definitely a villain song. And it’s the fight you don’t want to do. It’s the fight you NEVER wanted to do. Because all they want is the best for you. But the best in this case… it ain’t the best.
Ok u got me on edge with this one 😭
Tesso makes perfect sense in context, as you're fighting a giant mouse. It's silly, but it does its job.
Ig bc I never played p1 so it just sounded goofy 😭
1:26:14 It's the song they used for the first trailer of P5S. That might explain the cinematic feel of it.
Honestly that makes sense
Can't wait to see his reaction to darkness
Edit: amazing is acceptable 🗿
LMFAOOO
There's an ill face myself -Marie version- that sounds really good too
WE GOT A DIFFERENT ONE?!?
@@GoldenMontiit's not actually called marie version, it's called "reincarnation", so you don't get confused.

Honestly I feel like I gotta play the game to actually get the whole vibe of the songs then I feel like I can appreciate them more but that game is so old man
18:31 ngl i think this laugh sounded exactly like the laugh from some demons you fight in that game
Ain’t no way 💀💀💀
1:06:47 man you should hear the live version of this song that has a sax solo. That's peak.
I gotta hear this in person cuz song had me hyped 😭🙏🏽
You should've listened to New World Fool fully, it's not a loop you missed the different guitar solos.
Also you forgot The Fog (p4 final boss theme and imo the best boss theme in the game)
Yea ur probably right I kinda rushed it and the fog wasn’t added in the tier list so I didn’t know it was a boss theme but noted for next time
24:25 that guitar solo was sick AF
Knights of the Holy Lance aka the robot nazi battle theme (persona 2 gets WILD near the end)
Robot NAZI 😭😭😭
44:44
CORRECT
Is it just me or did he leave out The Fog. that is a Boss Theme from Persona 4 Golden and it is FIRE
Ok so when I got on this tier list the song wasn’t there so I didn’t know but I’ll definitely give it a listen
Royal is more or less just an upgraded version of 5 with extra content and throw away your mask is the "true" final boss theme of royal. That is all the context I'm giving u.
Fair enough thank you 🫡
Hell yeah, that's what everyone's first reaction should be to throw your mask away.
and context will definitely make this better for you
I definitely gotta play Royal now cuz that track was hella STRONG
Since you're listening to the Persona songs. I'd say you should look into SMT music. Trust me, the battle themes and boss themes are GODLY (pun intended)
Ooooooo I never played the smt series but that’d be interesting
@@GoldenMontiI recommend one who stands against god, dancing crazy murder, archangel battle and forced battle to get a feel for some of the titles
1:40:19 You can say that, sure. Also, it's the final boss, so I wouldn't recommend looking into it
Ohhhh ok ok see I’m just gonna go ahead and play cuz now I’m curious 😭
@@GoldenMonti You should

46:25 bih, are we cleaning DISHES??! God, Reload did this track a lotta favors
That’s what I’m saying this shit sounded terrible the beats saved it
That's a wild take for me. Reload tries to be boppy with it, original goes for a chill sorta unsettling feel. It goes with the atmosphere and the somber tone of the og.
On genesis, the best part of the theme comes at the end
Ill face myself has a better battle version which is called Alt. Version
imagine not putting the almighty in honored one tier
Honestly I haven’t finished p4 yet so that might change
@@GoldenMonti i wasnt honestly expecting a response, I hope you ended up finishing the game. lemme know if you liked
LMAOO nah bro I got u, will do 😭🫡
And 4 still got some mo boss themes
You be doing that scream that the Mexicans be doing in Mariachi songs😂😂
😭😭😭
Yaldaboath pissed me off there for im gonna rank the song way to low
i really hope you remake this sometime soon, you somehow managed to miss a majority of the absolute top tier boss songs like the persona 4 golden ones and persona 5 royal 😭
Look the person who made the tier list didn’t have it idk maybe yall could make one and I can redo it 😭😭
I think you missed one for Persona 4, which is The Fog.
No for sure for some reason it wasn’t on the list and I’m not aware of all the boss themes
man where my I BELIEVE?
Wait is that a boss theme??? 😭
@@GoldenMonti
Nah it’s more like an late game normal battle theme that also serves as the area theme if anything, def not a boss theme
Personally I think the reload version of Unavoidable Battle is a bit of a downgrade from the original simply because the guitar isn’t as powerful and the drums sound like they come from an electric drum kit rather than a proper one
Honestly fair enough
@@GoldenMonti It just feels less intense I guess
wait til bro finds out one of the bosses in persona 2 is adolf hitler lmao
I heard that he was in the game I still can’t believe it 💀
とても興味深い動画をありがとうございます！とても楽しい時間でした😊
Ofc np! 🙏🏽🫶🏼
If this is how man’s reacts to songs I need to here him react to xenoblade boss themes
Don’t temp me 🙂↕️
Nooo you paused Demiurge exodus right at the beginning of PEAK😭
I’m sorry 😭😭😭
1:15:37 Bro, what the chair ever do to you?
Be in my way of the hype that was playing
FREE MY BOY "FOG" BLAWG DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!!!
💀💀💀
Nah wtf they must of got some bootleg version of master of shadow cause what was that😂
That was the original version
Unfortunately I just need them to work on them vocals a little bit more like they did in reload
I love it way more than the reload version tbh
dungeon themes next?
Hell yea!
@@GoldenMonti in that case i think you should know that some of the persona 1 psx dungeon themes have a drop at the 2 minute mark
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
What about the Persona spinoff stuff?
Which one? Cuz I only cover the ones that was in the tier list I could possibly do another vid for it
@@GoldenMonti Persona Q/Q2
Tactica
where's persona 4's the fog?
It was never added bro plus I never knew abt it sorry 😭🙏🏽
@GoldenMonti it's ok, the video was still pretty good.
u should listen to p4a ying yang once u finish the game fr
Ying Yang is a crazy title 💀
@@GoldenMonti its named after a chinese philosophy
Ohhhhhh ok
Brooooooo you didnt finish the genesis! It pops off at the end
IM SORRY 😭😭
New world fool should be higher
I mean I thought it was good it just didn’t hit for me, maybe bc I didnt finish the game yet so it might change
Unfortunately. You skipped "the fog" from p4.
Yea, whoever made the tier list forgot it and I didn’t know it was a boss theme so unfortunately it didn’t get added 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
@@GoldenMonti yeah it coo bro. Listen to it on your own time. That song is easily either amazing or honored.
Ok hold on if it’s that good I better be popping out my seat 😭
@@GoldenMonti you bet bro lol
Plz react to Smt battle music 😭😭😭
Ye that be good
Take Off Your Mask makes my blood boil. Not in the "this song is ass" way but rather with righteous fury.
JUST PURE HYPE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
@GoldenMonti you have to jump on Royal soon. You'll understand what I mean when you get to where this song plays.
Yessir
Sorry but og Master of Shadow is simply better!!
@@oodlemynoodle3753 NAHHHHHH THEM VOCALS ARE NOT IT LMAO
@@GoldenMonti I'm biased, it's the version I've listened to for years
@oodlemynoodle3753 nah fair enough 💀
This guy doesn't know anything.
Why u cooking me bruh 💀
My hot take is Persona 4 has the most ass battle music in the series. Like it is painfully mid
Like imo persona 4 battle music is alright except for like 1
Meh
first!
u should react to smt 4 battle themes
It’ll be done 🫡
