Music compared to 5

[Bpisaac88]

The music is decent, but anyone else prefer 5's tracks better?

Not a fan of the little rap or whatever, "Chillin on my bed, minding my biz" or however it goes. Just the overall tracks as well.

can always get the 5th Battle Music dlc

I prefer 4

They did mass destruction and master of shadows dirty, otherwise I like the soundtrack

For me it's 5 > 4 > 3 OG > 3 remake.

5's soundtrack is just really expansive and awesome, and even if some songs don't click with you, you're still bound to enjoy quite a few.

4's is very emotional and decently varied, although I might be biased, as it was my first Persona game.

3 has a few really good songs, but the soundtrack is overall repetitive and kinda blends together.

The other versions have less vocal tracks.

Personally, I could do without the Lotus Juice lyrics in the dorm. Every single day "minding my biz, you mind your biz, the bacon goes siz..." Honestly, I prefer the older versions with the engrish. They faded into the background. Understandable lyrics all the time just steals my attention. Also, a lot of the remixes feel like they did so just so they were different, but most are worse for it imo.

minding my biz, so mind your own biz

I'd say the original had *better* music than P5. This one, no, but it's still excellent

[tadleszcz]

Depends tbh, some tracks I like more than P5's and some the other way around, but the same goes for other Persona games (except 1, in general I don't really like the feel of it's OST), so it's always pretty hard for me to compare which one's better.

Mass Destruction is the exact same song with a couple of new samples and a new verse though.

I find it odd that I can switch to P4 or P5 music, but I can't switch to a faithful version of P3's music

The instrumentation and one of the vocalists are different though.
I will say, there are a lot more winds and strings compared to the nearly solely guitar and synth of the original. It took a bit of getting used to.

Anyone who says anything bad about "It's Going Down Now." Is objectively wrong though.
A new track, tying together motifs of three battle tracks across three different versions of P3 until it finally crescendos into its own fully unique movement?

I was soyjacking at my screen, I won't lie.

P5 had some really good tracks. Its probably the best for me.

[Queen Nothing]

I get the direction they went with for the music for this, and I'm not going to argue that it makes the experience worse. However, P3's music is dated, and trying to modernize it a little just makes it awkward. I would have preferred that, like the Resident Evil remakes, there could be an option between the original soundtrack and the remake soundtrack. I think this option would have given them some room to make a remake soundtrack that's more adventurous than what we have now.

As an aside, I do feel like P3R's style is lacking overall. It's not bad by any measure, but compared to P5/R, P3R isn't nearly as unified and ambitious in its aesthetics. I feel like P3R doesn't capitalize on the mood of the story in general.

if you had bought the game I would have said "to each their own" but seeing as how you didn't buy the game, I'm inclined to believe you're simply looking for reasons to nitpick the game to justify your decision to not purchase the game.

If my personal experience is anything to go by, methinks Mass Destruction will grow on people, given time. The more I listen to it, the more I'm starting to like it more than the original. Not by a large a margin, but still.

I did purchase it for the PS5, easier to sit on couch and have kids watch than sitting around a monitor for this game. ( they too young to realize the head shooting)
