The Original Music

[xxpillowhugxx]

I know this just released but has there been any talk about modding in the music from the original P3?

i perfer the first one myself.

Actually I prefer the newer one... for some reason it comes across as warmer to me. I have the same with "want to be close" AND "Mass destruction" with me preferring the newer versions because of various reasons...

even just burn my dread as the opening sequence and id be happy, its happened on twitter, i need it so badly

The OST has grown on me, I even like Mass Destruction aside from the new vocals, and I feel like Joy, During The Test and Afternoon Break sound a little too much like they are trying to be Persona 5. I have figured out how to swap tracks the long and complicated way though!

I swapped Mass Destruction and honestly felt like the original mix didn't fit as well in the remake, I just miss the old vocals :c

Maybe I'll change the second battle track to Wiping All Out or something

You can just change them?

It is a very messy process and also changing too much seems to break the game due to file sizes, so, uh, kinda?

well, im sitting below 2hour mark til that happens. though this was enough for me to finally start playing persona 4 golden. its been great so far

lol p4 golden and p5 royal literally redid the original music for much of the game, completely different stuff. and it sucks. and people rave about it.

p3 reload just has some minor remixes of the actual original songs, and ppl are complaining.

That's the issue. They didn't do ENOUGH with it to make it fit the new singer, bad sound mixing aside. The Lotus Juice remix and the Atlus Kitajoh remix keep the same tone and style, but do WAY MORE interesting that help it standout aside the original.

Reloads version is pretty much directly lifted from the original with the instruments switched with worse mixing and forcing the singer to sing in such away that doesn't seem to suit her.

Also, if you have a source on those supposed changed P4G and P5R tracks, I'd like to see it, because adding new music isn't the same thing as changing old tracks.

I explained why and what I didnt like in my first comment. on the first page. i guess that was missed. I played persona 5, then persona 5 royal, then persona 5 strikers, and just finished persona 4 golden(f all the time and I got locked into bad ending). I cant say for the OG persona 4, because I only played p4g, but I cant remember any sort of remix in royal that made me think it was inferior to base p5. it was new. and some things I liked at first, others I gradually liked. Now if you want to talk actual remix, then you shouldve mentioned strikers. Which is in my opinion does have inferior versions of the songs. at least it had the same singer. but I had no expectations of that game anyway. I quit an hour in as well. and only came back years later just to complete it. I want to enjoy P3R. Music has a large impact on my enjoyment of a game. And because its a remix thats so close to the original, its going to be compared. Frankly, I hate it. Because I already have an expectation of how the lyrics will be sung. On top of that awful sound what I think is what people are referring to when they mentioned 'frogs'. ♥♥♥♥. Me.

There was an earlier comment linking to game banana. I havent tried it, but it looks like you have to change your ingame music in config to use the dlc music, which will be changed. From how I interpreted it only a select few will be changed, which is not what I want. In the same site if you go back to all mods theres a tutorial on changing the music yourself. It seems really complicated for someone new to modding. And you gotta download loads of stuff. There wont be anything more than that going public because of data mining revealing unannounced DLC that could include music. But I seriously doubt they will let you use the original

Alright, there's a guide now up on gamebanana for switching songs. Will take a bit of elbow grease, but it's a way. https://gamebanana.com/tuts/17170

Wait what? I never listened to the original version but I think the old vocals sound terrible. A lot of the og tracks seem very....experimental to me. The only old one I like more is Mass Destruction actually.

P3 is entirely experimental, it's fatlus trying out the dating sim mechanics bit lol.
The old soundtrack gave a specific unique vibe different from the rest onwards which you sadly wouldn't understand since you only played reload which modernized some of these tracks and lost some of its charm. This was made like in what 2006? It's a product of its time.
Also game was much more bleak back then.

you know I kept putting off the music change cause busy or playing other game. But since its already been 2 weeks theres no going back. the music change guide was made simpler with more mods working together. for me it wasnt so easy had to reinstall several times cause one little change messed up the main mod. well anyway I got it working. the only things i changed is going back to the original moon reaching out to stars, and mass destruction with my version of the og transitioning to fes transitioning to reincarnation. beautiful.
