Persona 3 - Living With Determination

[SonicTheRainboom]

Minato isn't dead, he just exists on a higher plane of existence right now. It's a happier way to think instead of, "FUCK, HE'S DEAD. NO!" Maybe my head is too in the Star Trek clouds. xD

[InvernoEstivo]

So. The 3rd March is drawing near, huh? And the 5th, too. Sigh, Persona 3. Spring time will always be so sad because of you.

[piccguyz]

its really sad though... minato ended up dead in the end...

[Haseo1275]

@xanissel ...aw great, now my heart is now stabbed with hundreds of arrows to the point of dying from the story- HNNNNNNNNNNGGGG

[SentientSimulacrum]

Whelp, there I go. :C

[LizardKid121]

Akinari is both my favorite and mast hated social links in the game. by god was he depressing :P

[piccguyz]

@LizardKid121 well... in the end, he's dead =="

[xanissel]

This song reminds me of katawa shoujo.

[Lightningtail]

And this is when I bawled my eyes out...

[Ibeatgod689]

If you fulfilled Akinari's social link and didn't feel sad you HAVE NO SOUL!

[Gruntlyfail]

Yeah, the song title takes a whole new meaning considering the good ending.

"Living with Determinations" Indeed

[LilPichu1101]

Shoulda just re-named it, "Akinari's Theme", most I've heard it played in the game lol

[jayhaoliao]

lol, i like how on youtube if you search "living with de", its top two suggestions are either "living with determination" or "living with depression"

[Lanyo120]

@jayhaoliao Haha, makes so much thematic sense

[gs68]

Akinari ;_;

[DFLOODyeaa]

Holy shit it isnt the lameass dorm version! Love it.

[UltimatePersona]

Anyone else cry like a bitch when this song kicked in at THOSE times? T_T

[TonyBMan]

@UltimatePersona ya, when shinji died, when chidori died, and im sure when the MC dies ill be crying again haha

[33ROBLOX]

miss P3 song lol

[Drivensuperior]

song fits with Steve jobs dying :c

[Dimastrength02]

Rest in Peace, 3 people....

[maltin5]

Everytime I went to visit that man in the park, I began to think:

"This man is dying and can find peace and here I am b****ing over some petty stuff"

[SuperSaiyanLink093]

Probably the best theme of the game and one of the only two I really like from it (the another being Velvet Room's song).

[009lan]

whats P4G and P4U?

[xaqua93x]

@009lan persona 4 gold edition announced for vita and the latter is persona 4 undub (I think)

[009lan]

@xaqua93x actually i found out its Persona 4 The Golden for PSVita and P4U is Persona 4 Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena.

[xaqua93x]

@009lan oh yea i forgot about the ultimate one, my bad. But now I have to buy a vita and a 3ds T_T

[009lan]

@xaqua93x im just gonna buy the vita i guess. Im guessing they're probably gonna portablize Ultimate if it shows good results.

[dattenabo]

This reminds of when Yukari was like "I WANNA SEE HIM" in the Answer lolz, Tho i have to admit, it made me feel a bit sad, She missed him too much, and she showed them she'd do anything jsut to see him again, man, that's true lawv rigth there.

[DictatorStatus]

@dattenabo - i was bummed out when i found out mitsuru will die in persona 5 trying to protect akihiko :(

[animeboy169]

@DictatorStatus And pray tell... WHERE DID YOU HERE THIS?

[AlexLong1000]

@DictatorStatus Proof or gtfo

[DictatorStatus]

@AlexLong1000 - you will get the proof when you buy persona 5, i wasnt supposed to mention spoilers in the first place. it was a slip of the tongue

[AlexLong1000]

@DictatorStatus Persona 5 isn't announced yet. Stop being an idiot and pretending you know the story. Plus, everyone knows that a new persona games means new characters. Just give up.

[DictatorStatus]

@AlexLong1000 - persona 5 will indeed have new characters, but some of the familiar ones from P3 and P4 will show up as well. you will have to play p5 to see for youself though

[MystiKsGAME]

@DictatorStatus Think you're confused. P5 is still in early development. P4:G has P3 characters in it. They're two separate games. If you're still bound on your theory, just wait till they announce it.

[MUGENBaseG]

@MystiKsGAME

P4G has Mari.

Did you mean P4U? That has Aigis in it.

Though you did pique my curiosity...perhaps there's something about P4G even I don't know?

[MystiKsGAME]

@MUGENBaseG Whoops, forgot that there's another title for P4. Yeah, you're right, it's P4U. Sorry about shattering your dreams. :P

[MUGENBaseG]

@MystiKsGAME

It's fine...but then no one knows what ATLUS is gonna pull outta their gutted blackbox!

[xaqua93x]

@DictatorStatus There's no way you can know that unless you're the story writer for P5. And if you are, THEN BRING BACK JUNPEI FOR P5, and maybe a reference to minato and shinji. Oh and tell the creator to not make it such a grindfest. And hurry it up with the story I don't got all day; took me 60 hours to beat the game, sure I love it and all but it took forever. Oh and don't kill mitsuru cuz she was the best character and the only one who can actually use offensive magic. And stop spoiling

[DictatorStatus]

@xaqua93x - At this point im not sure if i can make Yuichiro make any changes to the game he has in progress. But you will get some of your wishes for the game anyway

[stankynose]

Lol when i heard this song the first tiem at the dorm i knew shit's gonna get serious, this is like a theme of minato's death, like he knows he's death is coming soon, yet he's doing his best in his last weeks, god dammit, GETTING DEM CHILLS YO!

[Acela1a]

So many memories in P3 that goes with this song, especially with shinjis death. A bro that will be remembered since he was one of our favorite characters and Chidori with what for her selfless action that saves Junpei.

[keyblademaster333]

"...I ate the usual today....Ramen doesn't taste the same when your all by yourself..."

[HostClubOtaku94]

Dying young man....depressing....

[KingdomLiz]

This reminds me of the dying young man. :(

[Phillogica1]

The funny thing is, this song isn't all that sad. It's called Living with Determination, not Livng with Depression.

[SmokeTheOmnipotent]

@Phillogica1 ROFL! I know right

[MrGames93]

@Phillogica1 I guess you're right. But another funny thing: it's not about the depression. It's just that, sometimes, life is so hard at you, and the bad things sure appear more than the good ones.

It can be so painful, frustrating and exhausting, that you can only keep up with some REAL DETERMINATION....

[res20stupid]

@Phillogica1 Then why the fuck does it play during the saddest scene in the game?

[stankynose]

@res20stupid

LMAO U TELL HIM JAAJAJ

it also played when Yukari was crying over minato in P3 The answer, when she said she wanted to see him, jajajaja

[TheStubbinstein]

@Phillogica1 I like how you spelled "Living" wrong.

[megamanx1291]

:(

[AnimeFreaky12]

..I love this song. I cried when the game ended.. <3

[HyperShadic89]

This music is so..depressing..

[ShamelessCrimes]

@HyperShadic89 It's supposed to be uplifting. Like, shit's bad, but you have to live with determination to carry on.

/cliché

[coorokun555]

You upload Persona music because of that you deserve a subscription

[BlackwingDragon]

This. This will play at my funeral.

[johnmrrs]

@BlackwingDragon play it where someone might hear it

[BlackwingDragon]

@johnmrrs See if this was funny, or original, or warranted, I'd laugh.

But since you're a fucking dick-bitch I'll just ban you from youtube altogether instead.

Have fu-oh wait he's gone.

[johnmrrs]

@BlackwingDragon yes i feel banned nerd

[BlackwingDragon]

@johnmrrs What you "feel" like is not my concern.

Soon kiddo. Soon.

Embrace reality :-D

[SmokeTheOmnipotent]

@BlackwingDragon SHut up Kid YOUR BAD!

[BlackwingDragon]

@SmokeTheOmnipotent URURURURUR STFU UREBADKID HURURURUr

Banned D=

Better luck next account, bitchface.

[TonyBMan]

@BlackwingDragon This will play when I sacrifice my soul to become the barrier that prevents the end of humanity as we know it.

[OmNiVidGG]

3 people didn't beat margaret/elizabeth

[twisterkid99]

@OmNiVidGG Or, if you played the PSP version, maybe Theodore.

[OmNiVidGG]

@twisterkid99 yeah XD.

[Sapphiron6107]

DONT LOOK UP!

^^ OO

[leducthuan1]

3 people dont have determination to live

[alain110990]

shinjis death....he was the more bad ass persona character

[MystiKsGAME]

I MISS AKINARI :(

[bryshot4563]

i cried when yukari wanted to see minato again in fes and everyone was mentioning they're promises to minato

[pointlessworld]

This song makes me imagine...

A man is standing on a hilltop. As this song plays, he slowly remembers all the memories he's had with all of his friend and his girlfriend that he loved dearly. But then he slowly realizes that they're all gone, and now he's alone. So he is starting off on a new, solitary path toward a new future.

[MrsArisato]

This is my fav song in persona 3 :P

[genji2056]

Funeral + this song= T_T

[MidnightFreed]

This makes Akinari's story even more sad.

[P5ychoRaz]

The song was kind of bittersweet. even though sad things would happen, pemanent relationships were forged through those sad events. Akinari lived on through the Protagonist. After a sad scene, or a bunch of sad scenes, when you finally complete a socila link; man, that meloncholy music that accompanies the text "you have forged a bond that can never be broken" makes it all worth it.

[UGLYRAED]

@P5ychoRaz

So true.Even if it was virtual,it was pretty sad. :(

[XHfiest]

My memories of this song was more towards Akinari... God, that was a really horrible scene, where he told you the ending of his story and...just reading the text of "watching him leave". It made me feel really depressed for a good, long while.

[UGLYRAED]

Saddest song ever.Apart from the reminder of arrival of Nyx, the end of the world and the deaths of 2 characters in the video game ,this song kind of reminds me of that time when I was crying while I left my grand ma's because my school started.Little did I know that it was the last time I would be seeing my grandma :'(

[Harkz0r]

It's hard not to cry or at least tear up a little when hearing this piece. Chidori... Shinji... Aigis... Akinari. This game had a lot of memorable moments and characters. Damn, it's only now as I type this I realise how powerful some of those scenes really were. I won't be forgetting this game in a hurry.

[MzEnnaira21]

i cried when shinji take the protagonist on the back alley of tatsumi port island

shinji said "YOUR A PAIN"

[UGLYRAED]

@pokekid1231

lol you rly cried over a video game?

[pokekid1231]

@UGLYRAED if u really know how much Junpei loved Chidori i cried man so idk if ur gonna be mad at me about it i know its a game but still this game is really sad

[UGLYRAED]

@pokekid1231

Well I didn't cry but I can't blame you for crying.The game is DEEEP as hell! Sad sad sad game.The music makes any situation mega depressing.

[pokekid1231]

@UGLYRAED i know dude but thanxx for supporting me

[UGLYRAED]

@pokekid1231

Don't mention it.However,the ending of the game was extremely depressing for me as well.It was more of a bittersweet thing but I really felt sad there.

[Gohauld]

@pokekid1231 I feel with you my friend...

[pokekid1231]

@Gohauld thanxx man ur a true friend buddy :(

[VintageBalderdash]

@pokekid1231 Why do spoiler comments have to get top comment? I kind of guessed, but you kind of botched it for me. It wasn't enough that you had to say what happens, you had to describe it in detail.

[pokekid1231]

@VintageBalderdash sorry i just feel sad about it im sorry ur not mad.....r u? :(

[VintageBalderdash]

@pokekid1231 Nah, I'm not really mad.

Just think about it next time though.

[pokekid1231]

@VintageBalderdash ok thanxx :(

[neon6]

@pokekid1231 FAGGOT

[gamemaster634]

@neon6 what the fuck is wrong with you?

[neon6]

@gamemaster634 y u upset

[Artimicus]

@pokekid1231 You can revive her.

[sporemolux]

@pokekid1231 aww spoiler, crap

[pokekid1231]

@sporemolux im sorry :'(

[twisterkid99]

@pokekid1231 It's like the game is sending a message: "All axe-wielders must die."

[JayHanism]

@pokekid1231 -sob- thanks for the spoiler man

[juicedup14]

@pokekid1231 it sucks that a huge spoiler is the top comment ...so please delete your comment please you took the sadness away from that scene when i got to it D:

[FandeJay]

...I feel better, all of a sudden...

[InosensuNoUtagoe]

This piece made me cry... xp

[orwell9788]

Well I feel like talking about the music instead of a silly troll so there =p

This song is really great, a simple yet melancholic piano movement. My favorite part is the violins being plucked later in the song.

[PineappleMafiaPro]

this track is so sad, yet happy. full of hope, yet hopeless...calming, and yet, makes you want to cry.

love it.

[RE141095]

I've to laugh at games like Fifa or smack down vs raw

those games will never end feature pointless upgades / graphics in newer games

thats how they fuckin milk your cash

Atlus on the other hand is one of the very few companies who put effort into a game

It never disappointed me everygame they made satisfied me

from persona1-4 the SMT franchise Trauma center and so on

each game filled with awesomeness

EA and such just milk your cash tits one stupid game after another with pointless new features

[Ashbigbear]

@RE141095 I couldnt agree more, I think there is no Atlus game I havent liked. Theres other Atlus games like Odin's Sphere that are epic too.

[woodALIVE]

@Ashbigbear

Odin Sphere isn't an Atlus game. It's a game that was published by Atlus, but only in America.

[KaosuKaiari]

It's funny to see people arguing about SPORTS on a mellow Persona 3 song.

[tokwartz23]

its funny how strega didn't live with determination

[Tatsumase]

-cries more-

[ZombieMushmom]

...This song makes me think of sad stories about pink alligators. /sob.

I miss this game ;_; It's so beautiful..

[chrisonthepc]

When I hear this song,it touches the pit of my soul,makes me wonder if people can fight the part of themsleves they choose to deny,or just if some of us have been living in the past for too long that we need to move on,makes me think of myself to,why should we linger in the past?it's painful and offers experience but so does the future,when I hear this song it makes me feel as though I should have a resolution,and admit it to myself,that I too,am not going to live for the past,but for the future

[Failepic30]

@CREYKING

Old enough to know people like you are better off dead.

[Failepic30]

@CREYKING

Wow, points for having an all-caps name, it makes you look really cool! :D You don't have to be a nerd to enjoy music, and I hope I can be like you when I get older, I mean look at you! You are so much of a troll that you went back to a comment I made seven months ago and decided to be such an awesome douche about it, you are my personal hero.

[CREYKING]

@Failepic30 lol how old are you 8 ?

[Agusloquillo]

Wouldn't it be great if they carried this song to that moment in the hospital...

SPOILERS!

...where Nana-chan dies?

[cosmiclucky]

AKINARI NOOOOOOOOOOOO ;A;

[CREYKING]

@personayoshi9000 everyone who likes this "game" get a life is the worst "game" and "song" i ever herd play real games like SVR 11...COD.....FIFA 11.... no1 likes this horrible game

[cosmiclucky]

@CREYKING

durhur sports gunz sports gunz sports gunz!!!!11!1

You haven't even played or looked at this game once, have you? O, Child of Ignorance... 

[CodexAges]

@CREYKING maybe it is a horrible game for you only because you dont know how to think logically. and you have a hard time figuring out what to do and cry out loud when you see "Enemy Advantage!" gosh. COD is nothing compared to Persona, guns, what's with the gun if we have Evokers? i guess you just dont have the potential :P

[CREYKING]

@CodexAges lol i DONT like COD i hate that game i only play cool stuff like samck down vs raw 2011 and fifa 11

[cosmiclucky]

@CREYKING

AKA stupid sports where you just toss shit at each other and tackle people? If that's your taste, but it's still a stupid thing to say regardless.

How simple minded you are.

[CREYKING]

@cosmiclucky stfu did i ask you ?? no !!! and persona is the worst game in history !!!!

[cosmiclucky]

@CREYKING

Just goes to show how 'mature' you are.

You'll look at these replies in the future and go, 'Gee, I really did act stupid!'

[CodexAges]

@CREYKING gay. smack down vs raw isn't cool. so is fifa. or.. you wish to be them that's why you are playing those game, hoping that someday, you'll be a wrestling star (where you act like you're fighting for your life) or a soccer hero (which is actually cool, but doesn't fit you). anyways, you suck. like really SUCK. and what you did was epic failure. :D

[CREYKING]

@CodexAges LOL you suck i can predict that your a nerd that has no life and nah i dont wanna b a wrestler btw viva MEXICO he won yesterday ;)!!!!

[RE141095]

@CREYKING Then why the fuck are you here?Why are you fuckin here in the first place?

TO argue with no-life ''nerds''?If that is it, then it is you who has no life and srsly nothing better to do.

Instead of being here you could be playing your ''Oh-so great'' fifa/SVR.Or you could be camping in COD.

[CREYKING]

@RE141095 yup im just bored -.- and my "friend" said tht he likes this so i searched it up and i realized it sucks no offence lol !!!!!! and nahhhh i HATE COD !!!!!!!!

[iamerror2]

@RE141095 true, no one should listen to this imbellic cretin, he probally just plays mind numbing games like cod generic fps etc and fails to see some games can be art like persona 3.

[CodexAges]

@CREYKING sorry to disappoint you.. i'm not a nerd ._. i just have a good taste in choosing games to play.

[CREYKING]

@CodexAges lol this isnt a good game -_______- 

[13ulbasaur]

@CREYKING LOLK so you don't like Persona. SO? No need to whine about it and try to make us sad because one individual out of oh so many don't be likin' this game. :U

Fo' real.

[puresupremedarkness]

junpei, chidori, yukari and her dad mitsuru and her dad so sad i dont know who to feel more sad for well actually yukari for missing the main character thumbs up if this reminds u of one or more of these u dont have to if u dont want to its your choice highly doubt im going to get any though :P

[rikimaru700]

Damn that sun link. Made me bawl like a baby but crying won't solve anything, right Shinji?

[Exorcistkanda]

@rikimaru700 The determination in rikimaru700's heart have awakened Caesar,or something like that.

[XDragon097]

Shinjiro: Hey, you're gonna catch something. C'mere.

One of the best moments in any RPG. :')

[personayoshi9000]

oh ok mother 3 was a good game too bad it was not reliced in USA

[Brassrain0su]

This music is just... stunning.

This one moment with Ken and Shinji was above everything... At least for now.

[CREYKING]

@Brassrain0su search this fire burns those are real songs not this song for nerds dude

[Brassrain0su]

@CREYKING

Like you're the one who decide what song is for this person

[willzurmacht]

When I hear this. I remember the man at the Naganaki Shrine

[JoonStudios]

What are you guys fighting about, Persona 3/4 are the best JRPGs ever now cut the crap and enjoy it.

[dserdsing]

Yukari: dad?

Dad!!!

Daddy?!

I nearly cried

[personayoshi9000]

and no person does not have enogh sexual content to be a "bad" game even thou the box said it does -_-

[AkumaUchitoru]

My younger 18 year old brother Adam is horrible... He hates emos, thinking their just bitches that can't handle life.

He was all saying Akinari is like 20, what about people who are like 4 and have Cancer?

So what even if you're an old person dying from a sickness. Think about how painful it would be if you had tuberculosis or something.

I guess it's not easy for some people to care about others they don't know, especially since we can't feel their pain...

[Agusloquillo]

"I know, Shinji...

Crying won't change anything, will it...?"

[pasinium]

the saddest part here is ryoji's goodbye's to minako/mshe 

[Tr3s3ntos]

The Sun social link dindt make me cry. But it touched me for sure..

Surely one of the most meaningfull and saddest SL in persona 3

[ryodimos]

cheer up guys you played persona 3 u didnt go to a funeral i played persona 4 before persona 3 fes i didnt play the original game and the most sad thing that ive ever seen was the death of nanako it broke my heart so bad that i cant find its pieces

[personayoshi9000]

@ryodimos persona 3 was the sadest game ever the ending made me cry and i felt sad for more then a week

[laughingfurry]

@personayoshi9000

I personally put Persona 3 at a tie with about a dozen other games for saddest. Though, I do include games I haven't played. Interesting enough, all the games that immediately spring to my mind are either RPGs or have an RPG element.

This is not to downplay Persona 3, as that is practically a work of art.

[yangabernard1]

@laughingfurry Yeah also don't forget P4 the Nanako Saving Arc!!!

[laughingfurry]

@yangabernard1

Haven't got around to playing P4 yet.

[personayoshi9000]

@laughingfurry true the best word to describe persona 3 is "art" not graphicly but philosphicly and in game play also i too have played many RPGs but i have never played one as sad as this [i'n not a fan of new final fantcy games due to its gameplay if thay is one of the sad RPGs you are talking about]

[laughingfurry]

@personayoshi9000

I wasn't talking about any of the Final Fantasy games. Though, half of them are pretty sad.

I was thinking of games like illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, Breath of Fire series, the early Lufia games, the early Phantasy Stars, and Mother 3.

Though, I also think of some indie games as well, such as Iji or the fan game Conceal the Conclusion. Though, there's some indie games that I have seen, and played, which tries way too hard.

[personayoshi9000]

persona is the best game of all time

persona 3> CoD

[RPGMusicStudios]

@personayoshi9000 who needs a gun when you could have an evoker

[AkumaUchitoru]

@personayoshi9000

Dude, I am just waiting for the day that FPS either stops or they make one that's deep, and not always about constant blood and gore. This game actually deserves to exist even though it's M. We don't need games were people kill other people. Who knows whether or not the controversy of violent video games affecting kids is true or not. It might have influenced the feelings they already had though.

[AkumaUchitoru]

I don't know about FPS games but from seeing my brothers play the God of War trilogy, I have to say it's an overrated piece of crap.

All it is a demi-god or God, Son of Zues I think called Kratos that goes around fucking shit up, eventually the Gods, getting his revenge, and everything goes into Chaos. What the hell is that for a story? This is what people want, just plain and simple a game where your character is over-powered and can take down Gods?

That's nice if it's deep, but if not...

[Smarty4789]

@AkumaUchitoru They kind of ruined God of War with the sequels. Play the first one to see how Kratos' character truly is. You'd be surprised.

[AkumaUchitoru]

@Smarty4789

Ah, so only the first one is the truly good one? I know most of the game actually, I just don't remember seeing much of the game.

I still don't think their that good though...
