I noticed too the songs are more upbeat to match her personality, vs the male MC's slower and darker themes. Not to take away from the original male MC's character and canon story, but I really liked how playing as FeMC really turns the P3 story in a completely different direction. Although the ending results are the same, the journey is much different.
Thanks, you made me imagine FeMC going absolutely feral and *eating* shadows. That's okay, I needed to schedule an appointment with my therapist anyways.
That's where I've heard this from a lot. I got confused when it is only in portable, as I know every part of this song but have only played 8 hours of portable. Still shocked that this isn't in FES because it just sticks.
It really suits the style of FeMC. Most of her songs are energetic and hopeful, because that’s who she is. Yes, her life’s been hard and she’s been way too close to death, but damn it if she won’t keep smiling and doing her best. Meanwhile, most of MC’s soundtrack are somewhat grim, serious tracks with a few more mellow songs. This suits him better because he’s someone that’s become apathetic towards death. He’s a depressed fuck who doesn’t give a damn about anything anymore.
Something I really like about this track that probably goes over everyone's heads is its' name: Danger Zone. This is very interesting to me bc you'd think that a song titled 'danger zone' would be one that sounds panicky and urgent, but this sounds quite the opposite: slow, confident, powerful. Meaning that this is likely SEES' (more specifically FemC's) way of saying "We're not locked in here with you; You're locked in here with us!"
@@cantufekci23 Mitsuru, I am not in danger. I AM the danger. A shadow goes up a floor in Tartarus and gets killed by the Reaper, and you think that of me? No. I AM THE ONE THAT REAPS.
I started hunting for this song when I first heard it in p4A when Labrys was trying to escape the facility, and couldn't find it. Then I heard it like 4 months later and was like "OOOOOOOH SHIIIIT"

Another god tier boss battle theme by Shoji Meguro. This boss battle theme is together with playing as the cute Female Main Character the best reason to choose her. The new songs, new Social Links and replaying this great game on a portable device made it totally worth it to buy Persona 3 a third time.
I totally agree with you but people are best off emulating it now a days. The music certainly rocks the soul with the FMC. I personally love the MC route more than FMC's route but holy heck I can't deny FMC's music is a tad bit better
I would so very much love to have an updated remake of Persona 3 where you had a classic Pokemon "Are you a boy or a girl?" choice at the start - imagine, Persona 3, with all of the cumulative improvements made in the sequels in addition to P5R's engine/sense of style. Imagine the potential for call-forwards like they did with Yukiko in P3P? I would honestly sell a limb to get that sort of thing.
@@arzfan29 Most of the pacing occurs from having 28 days or so between each big boss, and if you're even halfway decent, only 1 of those days will be spent at Tartarus, and the rest you will grind social stats or arcade until you can do most SLs, and once you do the ones you choose, all you can really do is skip and skip some more. Painfully slow. P4G tried to remedy this with slightly shorter waiting periods, plus more potential activities, like Cafe Chagall, bike rides, and less demanding SLs
Also, the "It's demolition / Wiping all out" part of Wiping All out is also a rearrangement of "Soul Phrase". If you listen to a certain part of it, the main riffs from "Wiping all Out" *and* "Danger Zone" are heard at the same time.
Such an epic tune, that really suits the female character's style imo. I love how they greatly changed the dynamic of the story and gave us a valuable different perspective. I'd even say the story's message is brought better with the female main character
James Blunt I'd say the game over message says it all: "though life is merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope". It's just like in sports: you don't play to end the match, you play to lead or win before the end. Death is not the enemy, it is a fact. And it's up to you whether you will regret or not what you did with your time and with who. As for secondary messages, each side character has its own: Akihiko: no matter how strong, one can't beat death, because it is not the enemy Shinji: That whose mistake costs anothers life, loses his own as well Mitsuru: Responsibilities don't mean one must cast his life and story aside Ken: The dead can't and shouldn't take you along with their leaving ... and so on
Shame this is the only time we got to play as a girl. Seeing how everyone reacts differently towards you was also a nice touch instead of just doing a copy/paste with MC's dialogue options.
Goddamn I wish I could say that, this is the deciding song for which protag I'd rather use. Master's hits harder to me, but damn this just sounds more worthy of a boss theme.
This sounds like if Persona PSP, Persona 3 and Persona 4 had a child. Edit (June 29th 2021): Looking back at it now, the P4 and Persona PSP part makes sense due to how they came out around the same time. Shoji Meguro must've had a certain style in mind for the OSTs that carried over to each other. The songs that come to mind are: Persona 4 - The Almighty Persona PSP - Pandora, Last Battle Persona 3 (+FES) - Battle Hymn of the Soul/Battle For Everyone's Souls The electric guitars are Meguro's trademark in the soundtracks of all Persona games and SMT games he composed the music of. It's really recognizable.
Since I play on emulator and have the speed set to fast most of the time I’m more used to a faster tempo, however both fast and slow actually work really well for this song.
This rivals Master of Tartarus in its own way. Surprisingly this fits for the FemMc. I was kinda hoping when I was in Thebel playing the Fem route that it would have Master of Tartarus but after hearing this for boss battles, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Jesus fucking christ I just spent like half an hour trying to find this song since I've had that opening riff stuck in my head for the past 3 days. I didn't remember what game it was from and just those three notes played on an electric guitar could've fit in any of them. I finally have the answer.
glaciemdraco well technically speaking she is Cannon because the series has alternate dimensions so really it's just for consistency since most persona game's are male only mc
This should’ve been the track that played in the Female Protagonist’s playthrough when fighting the bosses on full moons. It sounds a lot more urgent than the one from the original Persona 3 Then again the sub bosses are the hardest bosses in the game and you have to beat them all to get the good ending
You can really tell Shoji was in p4 mode when he worked on the new p3p ost
That's because P3P came out in 2009 while P4 came out one year earlier.
