I'm torn. The music makes me want to play The Answer again, but as fun as the challenge was, I don't think I can grind hard enough to fuse personas with all the auto-ma skills... again.
RRRRGHGHG. I just spent 3 hours looking for this song, thinking it was a remix to Tartarus that'd been lost on the internets and iTunes had killed it for me. I didn't realize it was actually Interstice of Time. T^T I'm stupid.
@Allen913369 Well they won't make an anime of people shooting themselves in the head. Not to mention that the MC is emo and too silent. I'm not bad mouthing him, actually he's a badass kickass (any other protagonist, even P4's, is shit compared to him) and would fuck even my mother if he could. The guy is a legend but it won't become an anime. I hope they finish the manga and somehow somewhere they mention that he's relieved of becoming the seal. Minato is the king of all personas
I like playing this on snow days yea get up in the morning my mom says: son its snowing outside! really! first I look out the window and stare then go out there then look up at the sky start shoveling the driveway then my one and only bud comes over says "snowball fight" im like "you know it!", So as I am snowball fighting this song is on, on my mp, my bro comes up with the snowmobile and says "bail on" so were going faster and faster then out of nowhere a snowball hits my bro in the face damn..
ahh The Answer most people i know dont even play cuz its a "grind fest" and i say sure it is but all the cut scenes animated or not, music, story, the fact that you can make Thanatos by triangle or normal fusion and later Messaih if you're crazy enough, and the final boss make it all worth it for me.
Never had the patience to listen to the whole thing in the game. But this is friggen awsome! Reminds me of how the music build up when you reach a new block in Tartarus.
In a world filled with lies, traversing the cryptic corridors that seem to bend reality, one begins to wonder while lost in the soothing but eerie harmony of this music, "What does it mean to live? What does it mean to die?"
Truly, destiny is a daring concept to dance with...
I really enjoy the violin in the song when it reaches its certain parts , it sounds so marvelous and good- it really adds to the beauty that this soothing, calm, serene song has to offer.
I don't think this theme is gloomy at all. In fact, I think it is very much the opposite. It very perfectly captures Time and the part of the realm where the divine roam. It is like Elysium or perhaps like the technologically superior (and vastly mysterious) ruins buried in the sands...
I found it interesting that the dungeons are named after various levels of hell. I believe Cocytus was the deepest level where things are actually frozen in hell, and if I'm not mistaken, it's the last dungeon you go through before you fight HIM.
That's cool! I never realized that and it makes sense in a way. To be trapped in the Abyss of Time after going through that hell in the previous year is like another hell in it's self, so these levels were properly names in my opinion. Good eye on noticing that!
Iloved the abyss of time music so much! I remember I finally beat the normal game on my birthday and finally made it to the bonus game. This whole Abyss music is so soothing and relaxing, not to mention beautiful! I love it!
Also, unlike in tartarus where you can warp back to the bottom before you fight bosses (which gets you your health back) in the Abyss, the warp points are right AFTER bosses. In other words, you have to fight the bosses with all the damage and SP loss from the dungeon itself (they do still have save points before bosses, so you can still try again if you die)
That is also a VERY good way to get a game over, too! Now I know why they have said to play P3 first, beat it again, and THEN play P3FES. Have a great week, and thank you immensely for this info!
Its not THAT hard that you should need to beat P3 twice. Im Still playing The answer, and its more challenging, but I went straight from the journey to the answer.
I love this one totally calming great to listen to while doing school work.
Just really awesome tune and i hadn't played Persona 3 but now i know why there is a track that long im amazed he created a track like this truly inspires me in new ways.
@ Slayer0: After listening to this track for awhile, I had an idea (more of a suggestion, actually....).
Would it be cool if you somehow managed to remix ALL of the Tartarus Tower tracks into a single song similar to this one? I would DEFINITELY listen to that (especially if it was done perfectly!) :)
From what I can tell, this is all of the Abyss of Time variations mixed into one long song. So, you don't have to worry about the enemy encounters interrupting it; each area just plays a different portion. ;)
Yeah, that's true. I always liked just standing around event areas (doors,the entrance, etc.) and looking around, listening to this music... it's so...Interesting to me...
For some odd reason, this reminds me of the Tartarus block tracks from the 1st to the last (especially when the song eventually, um, "progressed" from the simple to the complex tunes, you know what I mean?).
The only difference is that this track has a major calming effect on you compared to the other one, obviously....
On February 24, Fes went into the reserve system for Gamestop/EB Games with a release date of April 23rd, and a of $29.99 price. The final annoucement on the release. =D
i never realli sat down and listened to it hehe, i figured it would be like a tartarus kind of thing...which is true...so i kept switching to maya's theme ;)
Isn't there about 6 other 'versions' of this song depending on what door you enter? The third one is lovely.
