Hearing this song the first time I turned Persona 3 at the start menu, I couldn't help but think something sad was going to happen.... AND I WAS RIGHT!!! DX
I seen the original's title screen. Aria of the Soul plays in the title menu, but The Voice Someone Calls plays at the title screen (where it says "PRESS ANY BUTTON").
I've been trying to find this theme... since last year when I first heard it on my friend's PS2 version of Persona 3. Now I have Persona 3 Portable, and I love it to death.
when I first picked up P3P I said to myself, "a J-RPG... this really can't be that good. but I've heard a few things and I guess I'll give it a try." right after hearing this song at the menu and playing through the game my opinion changed drastically! just ask the Aigis wallpaper on my computer!
I just picked up P3P yesterday because it looked interesting,
and wow..... I have never been so in love with a game before..
And that was just the beginning. I cannot believe I have not
noticed this masterpiece before..
When I turn this game on, I literally listen to this for at least 10 minutes before actually loading the game lol. I can truly say that there has never been a game that touches your soul from the very start. xD
And here i thought the characters were smart... I hated when Mitsuru healed every single time my hp only lost around 100 or less... I usually heal when I lose over 300 or more... I mean ARG DIARAHAN?!
Personally I love BOTH P3 and P4- P3 had a great story and at even though I didn't like the fact that you couldn't control the other characters, the AI system was really intellegent. In P4- I love how you can control the others and I love how it makes me laugh a lot throughout the game and I loved how it had more options like part-time jobs! The thing that does suck is that if you want to hang with a friend for a social link, you can't explore the dungeon- I mean it does have some benefits.
I know what you mean. I don't actually own it, I just borrowed it from a friend, and I was really reluctant to give it back... As soon as I put the game into my Playstation and the music started to play... Man, I'm in love! I don't think I'd ever be able to play P4 because I loved this one so much.
@jimbobhotdog Whoa still got a response even after more than a year. Its nice to visit this page and listen to the melody again every once in a while. Really appreciate it guys.Here's hoping for a Persona 5 with Shoji's magic, aye?
I think I prefer p3 in terms of character design... the rest, I'm going to have to give to p4. I love Chie and Yosuke's designs, but the Protagonist definitely took a step back. I also love the retro-styled interface and the overall look of 4 better than 3, but 3's characters (especially the Persona and Shadows) looked a lot more original.
But P4's BOSS Shadows, now that's another story...
The design of the MC from p3 looks a lot better than the one from p4 to me. Maybe it's because I don't like the bowl cut, but I still prefer the old design. The p4 MC just seems a bit too plain.
Yeah uh, after seeing some resulting success from almost every title they pumped out into the shelves, it's a pretty safe bet we'll only get like the occasional bad game like once every blue moon.
Yeah, I like 3 FES over 4 too. I dunno, something in the way the game was paced, and the whole feel of the double-life SEES had in 3... It was more special. P4 couldn't beat P3 beacuse 3 had originaility on it's side - 4 was following the same idea, but it was nothing new to those who played 3.
P3FES had a magic and a style 4 can't beat. It comes close, but it fails in the end... At least for me.
4 is awesome none-the-less, and improved upon on a lot of 3's bad points. But 3 still wins.
yes, i do, too. I think the right headline for this song is :' I will be searching you forever. i don't know why. maybe because at the beginning it sounds like you have lost someone but then it seems like there is hope. i love it.
T_T It has that soothing feeling that makes u sad and makes you cry, but I consider this a warning: Beware there will be alot of conflict, angst, and very, VERY SAD ENDING for both the games.
Ending for The Answer wasn't THAT sad. I'd even risk to say it was quite optimistic. Of course, besides the fact that you-know-who(I don't want to spoiler) is still dead T_T.
Set this as the song that plays when my alarm goes off. Nothing beats starting a day to this beautiful song :D

It makes your fingers twitch to press start. Personally, not many games can make you attracted to it without even playing it yet.

Trust me. If you love this, then you'll definitely love P4. Don't even mind about which game is better.
Expect nothing out of the game, then you'll enjoy everything P4 has to offer. Just like the number zero, it holds infinite possibilities.

This song is very deep and soothing. It seems sad and depressing at first, but there is a lot of power hidden in it...
I've said it many times, Megaten-games are so way ahead of other J-RPGs in terms of profundity and aesthetics.
