  • this is so nice, loved this tune

  • May 2012 = JOKER RETURNS

  • 2012 = NYX

  • @jowston100 Then why are you on a video centering around it eh? You kinda played yourself into a corner there.

  • The game was very good, the plot was captivating and the music was top notch. Probably one of the best music scores for a platform RPG all time. This track was the best IMO.

  • 4 years later.. today, I'm still thinking about Persona 3. I just wish I have persona powers to save innocent lives from wars.

  • @WisdomNotEmotion same. well not wars, i'm more interested in kicking the druggy next door's ass.

  • 9999* sry

  • pfff... i was lvl 99 with no new game+ but i was a slacker, not really charming, timid and had almost no fucking SOCIAL LINKS but when you use Ragnarok and it hit of 999 each time... it may have worth it!

  • When I first heard it in-game, I thought it was awesome but at the same time was like: "We're all gonna diiiiiiie!!!" because I never trained in Tartarus.

  • Like some other commenter said previously: The name of the song is living with determination, not living with depression.

    Personally, I find it a rather reinvigorating melody.

  • sometimes, I stop playing just to listen to this

  • I'm now on the part of the game in which this theme plays. Always makes me sad :(

  • since this is a remix of the song played when speaking to a dying man...

    and its played during the countdown to destruction...

    i call this the "we gon die" song...

    it masks the sadness with a hip-hop beat...

  • Courage: (Noun) The ability to carry through despite overwhelming odds. See: Badass; Heroism; Persona 3 OST, "Living With Determination"

  • This song is so depressing.... yet it gives you the courage to go on. it was a pure slap in the face (not in a bad way) with sadness in The Answer.

  • WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE THE DORM'S THEME IN THE ANSWER!!!

  • this song gave me determination for anything, EVERYTHING.

    literally. :)

    love persona 3 foreverrr!!! IM GONNA KICK NYX'S BUUUUTTT!! :D

  • When I first heard this BGM after December 31st in the game, I was like, "This is a nice BGM. I wanna get this for my phone's message tune." Thanks for uploading this. :)

  • When this song became the main theme for the dorm, I felt uncomfortable playing the game...

  • @Anidem9 I feel the same way, because this make the dorm fulfilled with sadness that makes me feel melancholy. Anyway I still take this as one of the best BGM in persona 3.

  • Son made me feel like the Dorm was the last safe and sane place. Everyone else was obsessed with cults and the end, and i felt like I'd be attacked for not believing in it. I can see why Fuuka was so worried...

  • LOVE IT.

    I finally found it. This is very calming.

    Thanks for posting it.

  • sad music leads to an amazing fight and amazing music with it. i beat the game (on p3 fes) thinking finally i get my happy dorm music in the answer! nope still sad music.

  • ok listenin to this makes me want to play through Persona 3 again good thing its in my desk drawer =)

  • Only emotion to feel while hearing this :'( / D': and T_T

  • I just got to the part of the game where the music in the dorms change to this.

    After everything depressing that happened in the last in-game months, this track has given me new found determination to go to Tartarus and grind like a mofo, like never before. I WILL SAVE THE WORLD EVEN IF ITS IN A GAME AND WHOOP SOME NYX ASS EVEN IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GO NYX EXTERMINATION TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song! Can anyone make an MML of this so I can play it on Mabinogi? I'd appreciate it.

    When I first heard this song in the game, I knew something was gonna go down. I just didn't think the game was gonna end that way. Live on MC... live on. You may be gone, but your memories are with us forever.

  • There needs to be a fanart of all the MCs of Person to be playing a song from a Persona game, each playing a different instrument.

  • Comment removed

  • WHO CARES IF THE WORD WILL END?! I want more Persona series, dammit!

  • Is this the song played in the dorms during The Answer/epilogue?

    damn, this shit's sad.

  • :( world is going to end sad face 'cause of Nyx

  • @blakebrown115 Actually, Nyx isn't evil, people are :D *answer to life's greatest question*

  • @ForgerMike7 that's ture thanks commenting back

  • This game gets to my emotional side...

  • Shit got real. 

  • @THEFURYOFSLASHMAN

    That's exactly what I said when I got to this part of the game yesterday.

  • LETS GO SHOPPING WHILE WE STILL CAN!!!!!!!!!!! ITS THE END OF THE WORLD DAMMIT!!!

  • That game is just awesome.. I've been playing this for so much time that i felt like i realy knew Junpei, Yuka and all the others, Even thought it's still a game it realy brings you into a new world, making you feel like you realy have friendship with the characters. So, best game ever. And the song just gives you the strenght to go forward, (Spoiler) "In a month the world will end.. You will have no chance to win" We will still fight for what we belive! Together! Even if there's no chance! FTW!

  • @4eGoku Fag.

  • @jowston100 Thanks dude, by saying that now i think you're a realy mature person huh.

  • sigh..if only the game just let you keep playing. hopefully persona 5 will have like an enhanced play system like where you can play for over a year. 5 years would be nice and itd be a long game which would make everyone happy. over 250 personas i'd be happy. 25 or more social links that go to level 15. epic winning. team combining where you can perform special spells depending on your team and personsa just like persona 2.. mm mm mm life would be complete

  • @revalutionre2k9 what a stupid hope. 5 years? WTF with that you expect the MC will be on place for 5 years? 250 personas? can you imagine how hard the programming would be for just 1 persona? there's 186 persona in P4 and more than 5000 ways to fuse it do you know how hard that is to add another 70?? and how hard it is to make the battle design? 25 s. links? FYI there's only 22 arcana in tarot, dude. level 15 s. links? wow, you sure will make ATLUS' members' life hard if this were to happen.

  • Ever since January the music is so...depressing. Don't get me wrong, I like the music; but I miss the old dorm music...It was so carefree, now with this I felt like this is the end. I didn't want it to be over. >.<

  • I bought a PS2 simply to play the Persona series. Fortunately it was money well spent and I now have a new avenue of games to explore as well.

    Thanks Persona!

  • This song. Its like, you pretty much knew that things were getting serious, and that it was either do or die. I really felt for the characters near the end of the game. I had no idea of whether they would make it or not.  Such a great game.

  • Comment removed

  • I guess 4 people couldn't live with determination...

  • I will live on with determination, even if today the world is suppose to end. LIVE. - 5/21/2011

  • @Xgamer245 Don't worry, Minato's got our back. He will stop the people's wishes to die.

  • I absolutely love this song. It's beautiful, cool, and sexy all at the same time... just like Aegis.

  • Sux, this game isnt FF where near the end you can roam everywhere. You only have a limited time. NO! It should NEVER END! T^T

  • @TheBarns95 you speak from my soul dude... *sigh* its sad really... people are too blind these days

  • ...S'up Dude

  • I personally preferred the song about filling somebody with lasagna... or something like that.

  • Oh man Persona 3 has a great story line but if only they had the direct commands like in p3p so that it can have awesome graphics and story line.

  • I think the mostly of us come here and listen to these song just to not feel bad that we don't have the game and/or the console, i am sorry i am one of them two T-T

  • i love how the original changed into this song after a certain event in the game, fits so well

  • Love the Soundtrack of this game :)

  • Aha! This game shares 1st place with FFVII to me. (I think it might've secretly beaten it...)

  • once i heard this, i was like "shit is about to go down soon." 

  • Comment removed

  • One day till NYX comes.Go train in Tartarus?

    YES

    >STay home and laugh at the end of the world.

  • I really like this game too but I wouldn't say it's the best because a lot of characters annoyed me. Sorry. :( I really want to play another Megami Tensei game though...

  • Is there an extended version of this?

  • i remember when i first play this game and i thought "man i don't want this game to end! ;_;" but then it did~! why!? Dx

  • This song makes me want to cry. OTL

  • I made it to the top of Tartarus on the third of January. ^_^

  • When this song started playing in the dorm, I was like, shit, time to hurry things up (was still in block 5) and it brings back memories of the game's past happenings, it's so nostalgic. Shed a tear one time when I was listening to this song.

  • @wolfhunter727 Aw man, you were still in block 5 too? Thank goodness I'm not the only one. I'm in 6 now but I had to go through the rest of block 5 in one day . I'm on January 3rd I think now and I should still be able to make it on time right?

  • @Sensorium139 I think you should be able to. What floor are you? Block 5 ends in floor 214 (I think).

  • This should've played during the Akinari social links. It sounds 10x better.

  • @sorakeyblade100

    It would take away a lot of the serenity and sadness, though, honestly.

  • Not if it's the normal one I think, but unless you could hang out with Akinari with Minako too that would be good right? Heh, I'm replying as if I'm sora. XD Is that okay?

  • 4 people will be killed by nyx. MINATO CANT SAVE YOU NOW BITCH!

  • Oh man, this is my sad song, before I go to sleep. Then I wake up sleeping 5 more hours than I'm supposed to.

  • I swear i was tearing up every time i heard this song. Memories of playing the game gave me a heavy case of nostalgia...and I wasn't even done playing the game!

  • I was trying to overcome that feeling of "Okay, now it's all on us! Nobody else can stop Nyx, and the Promised Day is tomorrow." in the game.

    Luckily, Nyx didn't killed us. U-_-U

  • trying to stretch out the last month of the game...I remember that feeling

  • Most of the times, video game music doesn't really pull me in. But this one... is just amazing. It's very fitting for the last month before the last show down.

    You can just feel the despair & hopelessness from everyone during the last remaining hours. Everyone is just a mortal so they have their own worries & so do you too. However, you know that there is a faint light of hope somewhere. You can't see it but you can feel that it's there.

    At least that's how the song speaks to me.

  • 4 people shall be killed by STREGA

  • Hmmm, I've never heard of Persona 3 before, but their music particularly pleases me. Determination, and this song (Living With Determination) delights me highly.

  • this game rock because they take the gun and shoot the head and a weird monster come out call persona

  • @Quaxelbaby its too bad that you don't like this game, but everyone has their favorite kind of game. i will agree, dungeon crawling does get boring, especially if you complete an area long before the next one is available. then they introduced The Answer for the FES remake. good story, but viciously hard.

  • @Quaxelbaby First of all you should the fuck up! you clearly don't know anything about games.. the games that you mention are pure classic and only an idiot like yourself will say their awful... go back playing your freaking black ops game or whatever

  • @Quaxelbaby same ould be said about you sir. You dont share someone elses liking in something so you bash everyone else who like the game with him? Sorry but I think your comment is actually the poor one.

  • @Gohauld You just say that because you also like Persona 3. My comment is objectively the better one.

  • @Quaxelbaby if you say so. But tell me something. when did I talk about the game in my comment? I just stated that you shouldnt bash on everyone who likes something just because YOU dont like it. if I remember right we have the freedom of our own opinion here. So please do us all a favor and ALLOW US OUR OWN F..KING OPINION!

  • Friggin' Awesome. When the dorm music changed to this I was like, "OHHHH YEAH. We're going to save the world!"

  • UGGH GOOD SHIT RIGHT HERE ♥

  • The last month of P3 is really a depressing one. This amazing music just makes it even worse... for the better! =D

  • Am I gonna die? Probably.

    Can I save the world? Probably not.

    But to hell with it, I have ATH-EM700 headphones and this song.

    I don't care about the damn world, I just wanna kick some ass.

  • @SolFZ

    The way you think is almost exactly like how I do XD. Are you....my shadow? The other way around?

  • @FateOfTime I dunno. O.o

    New Year's around the corner. I'm putting this song on mah iPod and walk around with my ATH-EM7's.

    It's gonna be great when I do community service. Lol.

  • @SolFZ Funny... I did the same thing with my Audio-Technias. High five?

  • @SgtLovecraft 1/31. Let's do this.

  • @SolFZ I'm ready. I'm pumped. This is gonna be awesome.

  • this song practically screams determination.

  • fucking awesome

  • man...anyone knows which piano/ string they used in this song? i sooo really want to try those notes

  • One of the facts that cannot be denied is this song 'epic-tized' the game...

    P3!!

  • this song changed my daily living!!!

  • When I got to this part last night, I knew Persona 3 just got real.

  • This song is such a fucking powerfull one. When I heard it for the first time in the ps2 I thought: Wow, the world is really going to end. Then I heard it yesterday again in the P3P, Almost cried.

  • When I first heard this song in the game my first thought was :Damn, shit got real.

  • @NegStarnite93 too bad you're not as awsome as minato, you should blame your parents.

  • You have so many things posted that I wanted to favorite that I just said fuck it and subscribed.

  • omg, just heard this soundtrack again in P3P. i dont want it to end!! Endless grinding in Tartarus forever!!

  • This is undoubtedly the best song in any game... It always gives me this special shivers down my spine that make me feel nostalgic, yet determined.

  • Man, this is a very powerful and touching song. This is definitely my favorite out of all P3's awesomes tunes

  • Comment removed

  • lol when I heard this it comes to my mind that the game will soon end! starting that day im just @ tartarus grinding so that days wouldn't pass by because i love this game so much i dont want to end! not now!

  • @phillihp I know what you mean I did the same thing

    I love P3 :D

  • @phillihp Same thing happening to me!! Can't finish the game yet. I'm loving it -,-

  • Comment removed

  • Persona 3 IS a legend and it IS the best game ever to be created...

  • @yoshistough I wouldn't say it's the best game ever to be created. But it is definitely toward the top. I think Legend of Dragoon blows P3 out of the water, but P3 is one of the best RPG games I have played in a very long time. Currently playing the P3P version =]

  • @fatedraisondetre im playin that 2

  • I liked P3 and P4 equally. P4 a little more only because it was my first Persona game.

  • This is the dorm...

  • This isn't in Iwatodai Station you Tard >:C

  • @HimuraCruz lol agrees. this is not Iwatodai Station, it's the dorm BGM in Answer where the game almost reaches the end, and in FES answer route.

  • @HimuraCruz It's the name of the song as titled in the Original Sound Track you tard.

    That is the official name of the song. 

  • @fatedraisondetre Couldn't you have politely corrected me? Dick.

  • @HimuraCruz Couldn't you have politely corrected the person you tried to correct? Dick.

  • Persona 3 was the best game i ever play 

  • T.T

    reminded me of January last days... ToT

  • Good memories.

    I could replay it, but I wouldn't feel the same never again.

  • Akihiko: I wonder what Shinji would do once I enter Heaven...he'll probably punch me in the face. He has a strong right hook..."

  • @Wii4a11 haha i remember that! :D

  • I remember all this about approaching Nyx and other follow-up events, I was like ''Alright, shit gets serious >:|'' then I heard this, and this game got 500% awesomer... epic.

  • i love how this song made everyone think, when i hear this song now i thing of all the stuff that's happening in my life

  • i need to play this game really badly

  • hmm i liked the play persona 2 in ps one Eternal punishment game play and matures character but less fun story not liked 3&4 more fun issued

  • This was about the point in the game when I started really enjoying the music.

  • Me too, although I still like the music before that, also this part of the game was the one which made me nearly cry.

  • @Raiden1000002 This part really made me stop and think. Persona was really deep and made you really feel like you were a part of it all. And i stopped and thought about all the stuff that happened while listening to this.

  • Yes, it truly is immersive, I also thought alot about the game when listening to this :)

  • @ferryarthur

    i wanna cry while listening to this...

  • @mizziz94 Yes, Persona 4 didn't give off that same feeling it always seemed more happy than anything. I know alot of people like P4 more than persona 3 but I am not one of them.

  • @sora8711 I'm definitely going to have to agree with you. Persona 4 was great and all but... this game just had something about it. I don't want to take the easy road out and call it "epic" but, it's really hard to find a word that describes it right. Persona 4 was fun to play, but I couldn't get hype over it like I could 3.

  • @GM1188

    I agree with you too.

    Persona 4 isn't as inspiring as Persona 3 was to me.

    The moment I played Persona 4, I thought..

    Man..the producers of the persona series have lost their touch.

    No RPG game can compete with Persona 3 !

  • @mizziz94

    Actually I'm on 1/1/2010 now in my game...

    When I heard this song and I knew what's going on...

    I cried while I played .... =(

    can't believe the end is 1/31... =( don't want to play anymore...

  • @Mirokon Yup,same here.The shivering feelings gets me everytime.

  • @mibuwolfX same

  • love this track... thanks for posting!

    ... i'm such a geek, this music makes me want to choose my party during exams, or some other stressful time in life. lol...

  • awesome i love this

  • To me, this didn't sound upbeat. It sounded more like they all realized the end is coming. And they will not take it bent over. They've refused to give up and this is the song that carries the meaning.

  • Exactly. The P3 cast chose to face what they were told time and time again was an unbeatable foe. And rather than give up, they walked in with their heads held high. And we fukin raped him...

  • Yes, a great game that was, I will miss it.

  • Metis: Sister, please bring me with you!

  • This remix makes me think:

    "Sure, things are sad right now, but at least I can still BREAK IT DOWN."

    *breakdance*

  • I'm pretty sure that Minato didn't like to leave his friends alone. He sacrificed himself for the safety of the world and because he loved all of his friends. If you ask me, it is like what Jesus did and this is what made P3 an epic game! I will still rank P3 as #1RPG game even after playing great games like P4, Nocturne and .hack//g.u because of its epic and powerful aura. I praise Minato as the greatest MC! I wonder if he will come out on P5 though. . . Hope Elizabeth rescues her soon.

  • wow you comapred jesus to a video game character lol

  • But that's what Minato did right? It just have some similarities. No choice then. Hahaha! ^_^

  • well rather secular or of a different religon you should be careful with the term atheist but alas we shouldn't be getting into this > shin megami tensei rocks!

  • Jesus isn't a fictional character. Whether he was actually the Son of God, a prophet, the Messiah, or something else, is debatable though. Jesus is no more fictional than Julius Caesar.

  • For the record, the Jesus analogy is quiet accurate considering Minato's "wall" form looked like him crucified. Just pointing that out for you religious tycoons out here.

  • I'm no religious tycoon. It just makes sense. They have the exact similarity.

    Jesus: Saved us from the sins we had committed by sacrificing his "Life" on the cross thus, saving the world.

    Minato: Saved the world from destruction by sacrificing his "Life" due to Nyx.

    Almost the same right? :)

  • great analogy! *hands you a cookie*

  • Yummy! : )

  • O_O Its like we played as a boy jesus.
