"Are we like... able to control people's thoughts, and we're like, flipping the table on them?" Holy shit. I can't believe someone accurately deduced the plot from this song alone lol
That’s what I said lol
I think that also just shows the power of the lyrics too lol
Yup, he hit it bulls’eye
I had the same exact shock
I had listened to the soundtrack for 2 years before playing the game and was shocked to see that the lyrics corresponded to the game so perfectly😂
You've basically nailed the premise! It's about literally invading a corrupt person's mind (which takes the shape of a palace) and forcefully making them have a change of heart.
Which is insanely immoral, especially since the game established it's not their fault and the distortions of the metaverse is what's responsible for their terrible behaviour.
@@pezdispencer113 that's not true at all, the distortion it came from the masses as a whole but the Palaces it came from the person itself they are ones the one who built those palaces from there distorted desires being extremely distorted because of there ambition is too big it literally said that, there is no excuses for them, stop giving any of those palace rulers excuse they are all pieces of shits except of course futaba and Sae
@@pezdispencer113 You could kind of make the case that makes it more moral. In fact, you can make the case that it's the only moral thing that could be done. Because then it's more like a disease in your body that needs to be removed. If it's not their fault, they are suffering through it as well.The phantom thieves aren't the ones dishing out punishment afterwards. They remove the corruption, if anyone is the immoral in the scenario it's the criminal justice system at the back end. If these people weren't at fault, once the corruption is gone, then instead of being punished they should be given therapy. If it was a choice then it's who they want to be. If it was a choice, there were many decisions that led them down the path to get them where they are before the phantom thieves intervened, but with them not having a choice it means this is an attack upon them as well. It would be immoral to let that continue. The corrupted would also not be in a sound state of mind to make the decision for themselves either. It would be akin to letting a mentally unstable person harm themselves because they don't have a full grasp of reality. Would you sit back and watch? I dunno...sounds kind of heartless to allow that suffering to continue and do nothing.
@@pezdispencer113 If the distortions are forced on them then removing the distortion is restoring their will, not really forcing them to change. It is making them normal.
I think in the lore though, you are not really forcing them to do anything technically. First, their distortions are from the corruption in the metaverse, but the reason that particular people develop the distortion is because they had unhealthy desires. The metaverse warped those desires and turned them into compulsions, and what you are doing is not so much changing their thinking as it is taking the compulsion away so *they* can finally think clearly about their actions.
@@pezdispencer113
That makes no sense.
If the reason they are evil is because of the Metaverse distorting them, and Phantom Thieves enter the metaverse to remove the distortion, that just means they are putting things back to normal for that person and restoring their freedom.
If they naturally became evil and distorted, with their cognition altering the metaverse, which is more likely, then MAYBE you have a case. But even then I disagree. All it does is removed distorted views and allow you to observe your own actions through an objective filter. It doesn’t force you to be nice, only to not have distorted desires.
So glad you're giving the Persona series a shot! Video game music is another whole new genre
What other video game music should we check out besides the Persona series??
@@knoxhillreacts8889 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has amazing soundtrack where their lyrics give insight to their respective characters. It was essentially another way of developing antagonists since the game is short. You'd like it since you analyze lyrics a lot. If you want the actual titles of the songs: Rules Of Nature, The Stains Of Time, I'm My Own Master Now, Red Sun, The Only Thing I Know For Real, Collective Consciousness, It Has To Be This Way, The Hot Wind Is Blowing, A Stranger I Remain.
@@knoxhillreacts8889Metal Gear Rising Revengence is one of the greatest soundtracks for a game too. I'm more partial to P5 but I can't hide my love for MGRR's music.
@@knoxhillreacts8889 Kingdom Hearts! The opening songs are great but just the music through the series is awesome!
@Knox Hill Reacts Fire emblem has some good music I'd recommend god shattering star, Id purpose, or funeral of flowers.
The Persona series is deeply based in Jungian theories of psychology -- masks, shadows, mass cognition and naturally, personas. The game takes the metaphorical terms and treats them a bit more literally.
Mass cognition isn't the exact term, it's the Collective Unconscious. They used more cognitive behavioral ideas in Persona 5 (literally changing someone's cognition to affect their behavior) and put the Jungian stuff further to the side than usual, but that's all still well put. Jung is all over this franchise.
Source: I'm a psychologist, was actually inspired to do this career because of his franchise igniting my passion for Jungian psychology
@@Redhollow Thank you! I knew that wasn't the correct term for Mementos, but it was the closest I could come up with.
@@Redhollow Lmao that’s so cool.
Someone: So how did you get into psychology?
This guy: Well… there’s this game…
@@RaiFred I've had that conversation more often than I'd like to admit.
Usually it goes from me gushing for Jungian psych, to them asking when I discovered my fascination. That's when I bring up Persona pointing me towards Jung's theories, lol.
The idea of a persona predates Jung. The Enlightenment-era philosopher Spinoza theorized that all living things are god. That we are basically pieces of god (a larger collective) and our personalities are what distinguish + separate us. Carve us and separate us from the totality of the universe.
When my professor gave the Spinoza speech, my mind kept drifting off to Persona and Code Geass. Always fun to connect your studies to your favorite franchises
If you are into JRPGs then you should definitely play it. The OST is awesome as you know by now. But the story is another reason you need to experience this game for yourself. I was at the edge of my bed when all I wanted was to sleep but instead I pulled an all nighter because one twist after the other ocurred. It's so well written and the whole world is just a brainwrecker itself with the whole cognition theme. If you are not into the anime look or feel then that's too bad because you are really missing out.
I am not into the anime look or feel that much...
Played P5S and I want to buy P5R SOOOOO badly.
The vibe, the music, the story, the writing, the characters, the look, the EVERYTHING. I've watched someone play the entirety of original P5 and I thought it looked like a perfect game.
Can't thank Smash enough for introducing me to such an amazing and perfect game.
@Trecko Let me just tell you that you are in for a treat. P5R elevates the experience of P5 even more, something I thought wads impossible after having played P5.
@@nidd0w614 He was talking about P5S, not P5
@SykoWnz Yes, but he also said that he watched someone play the original P5 and wants to buy P5R now.
@@nidd0w614 ^
This song never gets old in the game. The spoiler free explanation for this song's appearance is that you made your way to the end of a person's palace and you have informed them you are coming for them. This puts them on high alert and the next time you enter their palace, this song plays and everything is pulsating to the beat. It is awesome to experience.
He's understanding the story of P5 through the lyrics
Some one should suggest for him to react to: Throw away your mask from Persona 5 Royal too! I’m sure he’ll get the shear emotion from that song 😭
I always thought the most interesting thing about this song was that it's seemingly about a group of people getting stronger, growing in power, adding more members to the team. And how the people that stand against them can't stop that because it's not something that can be stopped, it's a revolution, Life Will Change. And like the instrumentation effects that as the song progresses it starts layering in more and more elements choir, rhodes piano, ect. It just supports the narrative of the song more.
This game (Persona 5) actually saved me from suffering deeper into my 7 years of clinical anxiety disorder and depression. The story and the real life issues that were tackled in the game makes it different from all the other RPG's/JRPG's out there. They are all relatable.
If you have the time, give it some try and I can assure you the music enhances the game and each character story.
Persona 5 really does have a banger OST
My man literally guessed the entire game plot
He nailed the premise of the game with Life Will Change.
I hope he will also do "Axe to Grind" and "Daredevil" from Scramble as will, not to mention "Believe" from Royal.
Less go, more Person 5
Edit: Persona 5 Playthrough when ?
Actually insane that you managed to make out not only themes but full blown premises of the game just from this song
Please react to Femboy Rap Cypher from Ham Sandwich, he's one of the most underrated and definitely one of the top 5 nerdcore artists out rn
For someone who's not played the game, you got every beat and the general feel for the game immediately from the music and that is incredible. Keep doing what you're doing!
For the longrst time i thought it was a black woman singing. Never would have expected a japanese woman to have that much soul in her singing voice. Its epic😂
What do you mean by japanese women have so much soul are you being racist
@@zeanone9257 If you can't read my comment and understand what i mean, and your mind drifts to racism, then clearly you need to learn more about the world and i am not here to teach you. If you want to think that way by all means continue to do so.
@@outlaw0987654321 explain to me what you wrote in the original comment
@@outlaw0987654321 in my original comment I was asking and was not calling you racist talk about reading comprehension
Persona 5 follows the format of some kind of heist movie, especially the Japanese 'kaito' genre when the theif or theives send a note like "we'll steal your precious and you can't stop us" beforehand.
The protagonists are going into a heist into the mind of a poweful, but corrupt figure. The agressive and taunting lyrics are basically a challange note to the villain.
Masks and internal thoughts and feelings are a major theme in all of the Persona games. This one is more rebellious which is exemplified by the jazzy elements in the music.
Something worth noting is that for the vast majority of the game this track is actually an instrumental that starts up when you're about to make the final run through a level to challenge the boss. You've done all your research, you've searched every nook and cranny for advantages and now it's time to finish it, so the music is always associated with that triumphant march.
THIS one pops up at one of the emotional climaxes of the story, suddenly the hype track you've been swaggering around to all game gains a whole other dimension. It feels like you and your crew have finally crystalised exactly who you are, what you've already done, and what you're about to do now. And there's not a damned thing your opponent can do about it ;D
These songs are all about rebellion against corruption
By the way persona 3 has some really good rap music from lotus juice! Mass Destruction, Wiping All Out, Deep Breath Deep Breath (reincarnation), and Burn My Dread (Last Battle) are all amazing!
Also Pull the Trigger and Wait and See from Persona Q2!
This is the song that gets played when u have sent the Calling card to the villain to tell em u are gonna steal their heart and make em confess every crime they ever commited.
someone in another video posted something i never noticed till they mentioned it. the unique thing about the songs in this game is that they are sung from the perspective of the heros, the songs arent about a struggle to win, they are all about how the good guys are coming, so the bad guys better start praying for forgiveness and be prepared for a reckoning
this is my favorite persona song, i get goose bumps everytime i hear it, the energy at the start gets me pumped every time
4:04 also cause the power system (personas) in this game come out of the wearers mask
Check out some of P3 songs, they're more hip hop oriented
I listen to this song multiple times a week. It is definitely a banger!
"That very unique cadence and way of enunciating things."
The singer, Lyn (or Rin) Inaizumi, is Japanese. I can't find any definite sources on how much English she knows, but she has apologized for her delivery after one boneheaded journalist thought there was a racial slur in one song.
Some people question whether she's even all that fluent in English, and it's entirely possible that she sang them without much understanding of what the words meant.
But I love it. Somehow it adds to the Jazziness for me. I'm sure she was given a translation, but if the individual words, the syllables, meant little to nothing to her, then this approaches scatting. At least to my sensibilities.
Again, I'm really glad you were willing to check these out! I've thoroughly enjoyed your reactions!
First, you breakdown of the line about being inside the villain's head was almost spot on what the plot is about, so kudos for understanding that almost instantly.
Secondly, the pace of this one is a little higher because it plays during the most intense sections of the game: the heist days. It's the perfect anticipation builder for stealing the villain's treasure right out from under them.
If you are still willing to give P5 a chance, i would highly recommend the songs "I Belive" (Persona 5 Royal) and "Daredevil" (Persona 5 Strikers) they are both absolute amazing!
Please react to “throw away your mask” next, its a super good song, definitely one of my favorites
Yeah when you talked about the soundtrack appealing to a wider audience, there is a reason why Persona 5 was nominated at the game awards for best soundtrack!
Definitely check out some stuff from Persona 3. Way more hip-hop focused in general.
Let me propose "Burn My Dread - Last Battle" in particular
PERSONA5 BEST SONG
『I BEREEVE』
honestly, now I wanna see Knoxx play this game and just see him jammin to these while challenging society's corrupt as a vigilante
a react of Dan Bull - Enderman Rap
would be awesome!
As a rapper, I think you'd enjoy "mass destruction" and "burn my dread- last battle" from Persona 3. Both are cool as hell.
Lotus Juice🤟
Aww this takes me back to my first play through of Persona 5. It was fun hearing your takes on the lyrics too. I think You nailed it
More Persona, please! P3 and P4 are full of bangers as well, Burn my Dread, Heaven, Memories of You, Mass Destruction, Heartbreak Heartbreak, Never More, top to bottom masterpiece OSTs. Not to mention all the other tracks from P5.
Baby Baby Baby Baby...
LOL, yeah. He's spot on with that analysis of what's going on. Corrupt leaders, teachers, authority figures. They are using their positions of power to take advantage, and in some cases literally abuse people. So a group found they had powers and started using them to fight back; to take back freedom for not just themselves, but the people without the power to defend themselves.
It's interesting how music can tell a story all it's own, and why I am fascinated by games. Because they take all different forms of art and put them together to tell the same story, in different ways at the same time. Each part of it, the music, the visuals, the dialogue, even what's happening during the game-play elements, all tell a different part of what's going on together.
Dude you have got to sit down and play this game. It's a massive ride of emotion and the music is a major major bonus to this game. This song in particular the first time it plays your like.... Oh yeah I'm coming for you! It's like the pre-boss battle theme. You nailed so much if the premise of the game just from listening to this song! It's so amazing! Play it!
You should listen to Stronger from P5 Strikers (with the opening scene :D). Game has more of a rock twist.
I like how you're analyzing the lyrics, so I want you to react to Persona 4's Reach out to the truth. Just a suggestion.
This is my favorite track along with the ones where you are about to face the harder battles like Shido. That track also is hard!! Heck, I am playing the game right now. Bout to make a harem lol
I've be interested to see his reaction to tracks like Mass Destruction of Wiping All Out, since he IS a rapper.
You should totally check out stuff with Lotus Juice from Persona 3 / 4! Backside of TV remix from Persona 4 Dancing has Lotus Juice spitting some BARS.
Please do Throw Away Your Mask!!! Amazing song from the finale of Persona 5 Royale
The "life will change" OST can only be described by one phrase "It's Showtime!". You know shits about to go down, win it or lose it all.
good video, this persona 5 game has the best video game soundtracks I recommend listening to "No more what Ifs" from the same game is a chill song and metaphorical messages
I really think that you will absolutely love Persona 3 OST
Knox you're literally, about, on the dot. In Persona 5 you basically play as a crew of superheroes that are able to go into people's dark minds to "to steal their heart". This is the track that plays when you are in what's called "The metaverse" and on the mission to steal their hearts or more accurately stealing the villain's "distorted desires" so that they will confess to their crimes. But this all takes place after you Map out the area where the adversary stores their dark heart.
Once you're done with P5, you should check out nerdcore rapper The Stupendium!
The lyrics work as amazing metaphors. But the game takes it a step further and makes those metaphors real.
You should check out some of the stuff from the other Persona games too! Specifically, the stuff by the rapper Lotus Juice. He's a great rapper and I think you'd really enjoy him. Some of his songs from the various Persona games are "Mass Destruction", "Break Out Of", "Light the Fire Up in the Night", and "Backside of the TV (Lotus Juice Remix)".
Would also add "Fate Is In Our Hands" from the Persona 3 movie.
What's amazing is you have no idea how much you really nailed the premise 😆
I'm kind of curious how comparable you think P3P (Persona 3 Portable - Preferably the PSP versions of the songs, if the rumors of the songs getting worse in the port is true) would be to Persona 5 Royal. I personally like the P3P songs more but thats just bias since I love P3P, my first Persona game
Okay, what do we gotta do to have him play the game and stream it or something? I wanna see his reactions!
6:32- 6:42 Very specifically, actually, yes. That is basically what the game is about. Corrupt people, going into their cognition to free their minds of corrupt view points and changing their 'heart' to be more humane.
Not an organ by the way it' is called a Rhodes Piano and is in a lot of the Persona 5 songs, granted it sounds a bit like an organ but it's a slightly different. It's more like a piano still uses hammers but they hit tines instead of strings that then get picked up by a mic and amplified. But is pretty popular in Jazz songs which is persona 5's motif jazz = cool = phantom thieves.
Its impressive that you accurately deduced the premise of the game, and the way you described it sounds like the main characters (PT) in the game are also the bad guys, the only nuance that wasnt included in the song is that the PT are just naive kids which is their best defense on their actions (aside from the supernatural aspect that an evil god is behind this).
fix the title dude "Rapper Reacts to Person 5 OST!! | Life Will Change (FIRST REACTION)"
In the game you summon the power of your Persona by tearing a literal mask off your face. When applied to real life it’s all metaphorical, but it still works: removing the mask you wear for the people around you to unleash your true self
you really should give the Persona 5 Strikers games OST a listen. There are new versions of the songs you reacted to. The Persona 5 Striker Versions sound way more powerful to me
If you havent had it suggested yet you should try the Final Fantasy 14 Shadowbringers OST.
he game is about a high schooler is committed of a false crime. and get sent to a different school as a punishment. as the story go's he discover he has the power to change the hearts of adults who thing they can do what ever they want. not going to spoil anything but the game can get messed out. especially at the first level. its turn based rpg and slice of life (meaning you will be doing normal teenager stuff and fight monsters at the same time). the game is really long the first story level take 50 hr. alone.
Hi Knox
Hope your good
You need to react to Ed Sheeran f64 tribute to Jamal Edwards 💯
man, you are a rapper, you should be listening to Persona 3 musics with Lotus Juice. someone suggest it in his Patreon.
4:39 This song has a part that sounds like it "plagiarized" An old song "spin me round like Record" But here it is an organ that plays, and there it is the singer who does
You are making the video unwatchable and unlikable with so many pauses ffs
I recommend you listen to other persona 5 song with lyrics like whims of fate, I believe, or last surprise
Man, this is success, i mean, you almost literally recapped the gameplay without watching it!
React to the OSTs of Bleach... it's nostalgic and just amazing
Please react to "Throw Away Your Mask" from Persona 5 Royal!!
Persona 5 music is acid jazz, persona 4 is more pop I think, and Persona 3 is rock
Wait till he discovers grovey from persona 5 dancing
Could you possibly react to Shwabadi's cosplay baby rap?
You should try reacting to "Bury The Light" its pretty good, to say the least
this guy in the first minute just descrive the entire gameplay of persona 5
6:38 Manages to accidentally describe the literal plot of the game haha
Ok bro just understood the entire plot of persona in minuites while it took me 2 hours
Welcome to Jungian Psychology 105
One song you should also do from the persona series is unbreakable tie
Twitch playthrough when?
He should have reacted to the Dancing music video.
You sure you haven't play P5? Your guesses are to the point.
Just discovered you through your Persona reactions! I love your content, your analysis to lyrics is so spot on. PLEASE do some videos on the Persona 3 Reload OST! Its a new Persona game coming out in a month, but some of the OST has already been released. Better yet, what P5 did with jazz, P3 does with rap, so its even more in your area!
I recommend: Mass Destruction, It's Going Down Now, and Color Your Night
So, DPS made a new track recently and you would be amazed
You should react to persona 3s ost
And the ace attorney games
you should react to persona 5 I BELIEVE
Something that this song has in particular. It is that the lyrics do not make much sense, until you play Persona 5, especially when you are already going through the last palaces, this song becomes the anthem of the game and the hype reaches its maximum, when you know the whole story. And the lyrics become pure poetry
behind the mask is also a recomended song from persona 5
The game is kind of whack, but the music is fire
my guy you just described what that song is about
You should check out the Pokémon Cyphers
Can't wait for a Throw your mask away reaction.
can you reaction Heaven from persona 4 golden
You sure you didn't play the game??
Okay I need you to listen to Bayonetta 3 songs now 🌙
Idk if anyone pointed this out but Person 5
