Extended Edition: Battle Hymn of the Soul (Persona 3)

[LobsterFeet97]

Damn, a female villain? KICK. ASS.

[wisefelipe]

@LobsterFeet97

Well, she is more like a celestial body really but... yeah, female i guess

[ReinaHW]

I wasn't sold when I listened to this for the first time, but the second time it's becoming a favourite. Especially when the opera bit kicks in, beautiful.

[chiisaiaoiryu]

Funny, I actually defeated Nyx right on January 31 without even realizing it. Talk about a two hour ordeal and three near-deaths in less than 5 minutes for my mc. Man, i should've recorded that for you all to see.

[bleachboy64]

january 31 2012 .... thank god for the wild card's power

[darkninja0200]

Once more Nyx descends upon us on this day of the 31st. Will the world end today? Or will The wild card save us once more?

[zaxckee]

@TriforceOfAwesomenes Its easy. Gun thing not real gun. Gun thing is evoker. Evoker summon monster. Shoot self with evoker to summon monster.

[zaxckee]

kinda funny how the tempo is 666 BPM

[Kleux]

>after an hour and a half, gets Nyx's HP to below 1/4

>Night Queen charms MC

>MC casts Mediarahan on Nyx

>Quits

[TearGrande]

@Kleux and by ">Quits" you mean ">Stops going easy, uses Armageddon" right? Right?

>.>

[Kleux]

If I actually had access to Armageddon I probably wouldn't use it anyway. X:

[tehKelzorz]

@Kleux I know that feeling, bro. ;_;

[deathnote10000]

one more week before nyx descends

[KetsuRosataMalnor]

The Quote I like from Nyx was this, "It takes great courage to look at oneself honestly and forge one's own path."

[arceus732]

The time is approaching once again. 19 days until Nyx approaches. Are you prepared for the ultimate beginning, or the ultimate end?

[Zellig]

pic source? :D

[KetsuRosataMalnor]

@FruggleFarkle123 Celebrate* is what he says at the start of that quote.

[KetsuRosataMalnor]

@KetsuRosataMalnor Or rather it, I should say. 

[FruggleFarkle123]

@KetsuRosataMalnor Whoops. Let me fix that:

"The Arcana are the means by which all is revealed. Celebrate life's grandeur... It's brilliance... It's magnificence..."

[KetsuRosataMalnor]

@FruggleFarkle123 It is an awesome quote, but a lot of the nyx ones are cool.

[FruggleFarkle123]

@KetsuRosataMalnor True, which is a part of what makes Nyx Avatar one of the best final bosses (not counting Nyx) of all time. But maybe I should've said that it was my favorite of his quotes rather than one I liked. Sorry for any confusion.

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

The moment Shoji devoured the fruit of music, he composed great songs.

Entrusting those tracks to Lunar, Persona harbours a bright hope.

Thus the extensions are the means by which awe is revealed.

[Pfoenixbrawler131]

@SeraphimSwordmaster nicely put

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

@Pfoenixbrawler131 I have a creative writing degree.

I'm academically obliged to sound pretentious and corny. ;D

[Sasukev]

Oh, today's the day once again! =)

[ManaketeAli]

o.o

"THe ARcAnA iS tHe MeAnS bY WhICh ALL iS rEVeAlEd."

Eternity awaits us....Where the f-bomb does this stuff come from? What kind of inspiration creates such....Uhh..I can't even find the word for it! D:

[Janellee43]

This picture is badass.

[MultiLightning123]

[minako,minato and souji in the same room]

minato:uhhh

minako:[looks at them back and forth]

souji:....

i art thou and thou art i thou has established a new social link of the akward moment arcana thou can now create personas of the akward arcana LOL

[heyjeySigma]

@MultiLightning123 hahaah awkward arcana.. lol made me laughh

[MultiLightning123]

MatthewEp2 nice comment

[fearanger1]

(Nyx) "for those who want to know the truth, music is that certain voice of which comes from the mouth. Man or creature, music is that which comes inside, even at death..."

"the musician arcana..."

[dariusz34]

I've looking this a few months ago... And I find it here! Thank You Master!

[yurishibuya2]

DEATH AWAIT U, IN THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY...

[ravenscaresAL]

31st of January? Really??

That's my birthday :)

Lol

Thanks for uploading

[Exorcistkanda]

Minato Arisato: ......

Souji Seta: .......

You've forged a new bond between you and Souji. You've established the Silent Protagonist Social Link.

[FruggleFarkle123]

@Exorcistkanda *Link comes in.

Link: .....

Minato: .....

Souji: .....

The Silent Protagonist Social Link has ranked up tp Level 2!

[metalgearsolidfan112]

@FruggleFarkle123 ah, but what about Gordon Freeman?

I'd do it myself, but I never actually played a single persona game..so I'd rather not screw it up.

[FruggleFarkle123]

@metalgearsolidfan112 The first time I read this, I thought the name was "Morgan Freeman." XD

[willyan629]

"The moment man created a technology where they can united as one and share these knowledge to anyone. Man has discovered a powerfull artifact which led to the age of information."

"Yes, the Arcana which all mean is revealed."

Fuuka: "*GASP* Its the internet arcana!"

[Traten65]

@willyan629

This just made my day xD

[TriforceOfAwesomenes]

The only annoying part of Persona 3 is explaining the head shooting part to your friends.

[PunkX2000]

@TriforceOfAwesomenes have you figured out how to do it without them looking at you like you need mental help? ...cause I still have that problem.

[KoyotoShadow]

@TriforceOfAwesomenes It's also a thematic device. It adds extra emphasis to the overarching 'mortality' theme that is so heavy through the whole story.

[Alacron]

@TriforceOfAwesomenes Short answer: shock value

[TheShadowrunner98]

Hey every one did you know that the arcane is the means by which ALL is revealed. Nyx should have mentioned that in her long speech just once. :P

[TheSimmr001]

2 days left

level 73

something tells me its not enough to beat this guy

[GameReloaded]

@TheSimmr001

Belive me thats enough.

[Stiglitz51]

@TheSimmr001 Nyx is Level 72. I know this becuase i only beat Persona 3 FES rougly one weak ago. Don't worry you're on par with his/her skill. I was level 90 when I faced him becuase I'd been grinding in Monad which is an unlockable unlockable block if you defeated the Reaper that occasionally appears to kill you. Every enemy in Monad gives you tons of EXP.

[TheSimmr001]

@Stiglitz51

cheers dude

btw what level do you suggest for the reaper

[Stiglitz51]

I was lvl 74-75 when I beat him. My teammates were Akihiko, Junpei and Aigis. I made sure that all 3 of them were at least lvl 70 Get Akihiko and Aigis on Heal/Support. Akihiko can debuff the Reapers stats and Aigis can Buff up your teams. Put Junpei on knockdown. You should just try to attack normally with your sword, gloves etc and occasionally heal if you have to. Nyx is hard becuase the fight lasts a while and Nyx constantly changes Arcana's. That's why you might want to grind in Monad

[GameReloaded]

@Stiglitz51

Around 80. Mates 70 or something.

Just spam him with Thunder Reign and let everyone make an Critical Hit

[Jingle041]

@TheSimmr001 "Guy"? XD Meh. 73's more than enough. They expect you to be around LVL 60.

[TheSimmr001]

@Jingle041

its a divine being. no gender human form was male

ergo, guy

cheers though 1 day left lv 75

[Jingle041]

@TheSimmr001 Well, Nyx is a figure in Greek mythology. She is the personification of Death, much like how Orpheus was the personanification of life, and how Dionysus was the personification of taking too many shots on a Friday night.

So, technically, Nyx's a female. And yes. You have nothing to worry about; as long as you've got a few healing Persona and maybe a stat-buffing Persona, I don't think it'll be too hard.

[TheSimmr001]

@Jingle041

and hermes was the personification of a womaniser (seriously 50+kids or wife)

i meant that this is nyx "avatar" and as effeminate as ryoji looks he is male

btw dude thanks i was planning on yukari aigis because they are my fav pairings and

junpei for his heavy hitting

[Raxer21]

persona 5 has begun filming already, dont expect a release for a while but just know that somewhere along the lines that atlus will release persona 5, and you all might also like to know that theyll be using what they learned from katherine and the new engine to create sometihng awesome for persona 5

[Adoranger]

Shin Megami Tensei games have such amazing battle themes. Right up there with Tales games.

[TheMabinogiLinc]

Me:MARALAGIDYNE!

Nyx:*1 dmg*

me:FUUUU

[YosukeComicRelief]

@TheMabinogiLinc Looks like Mara was a little cold at the time. XD

[Anime35837]

NYX: " It does not who or what you are, Beyond the beaten path of life and despair, lies the ultimate and absolute end, Death, will await for you at the of that path"

Me: That's new.... What happen to your old Death speech?

NYX: Everyone got bored of it, so i improvised..How was it?

Me: ಠ_ಠ......

[newfacepaula]

TIME TO THE DIE NYX

[Kyuubi619]

Oh man....I remember this long ass battle that drained my psp's battery from 3 bars to 1 lol

[metalmayhem007]

@Kyuubi619 lol, it took me 2 hours and half to beat him, i messed up first time about 1 hr in i got caught off guard and he killed everyone

[Kyuubi619]

@metalmayhem007 Lol I know the feeling. I was on the phone while playing and I was like doing only 50-150 damage every turn and I get his hp down to a quarter left. Then I go "Wow, I'm actually doing it. I'm gonna win :D" Friend on phone goes "Watch theres some badass move that attacks the entire party and kills them" 5 seconds later, it happens. But only kills Yukari and Aigis :c

[Whitefox789]

@Kyuubi619 Listen to this I was in the exact same situation you were in and then Nyx's avatar throws Nightmare Queen everyone's alive only except everyone has status effects MC: Rage, Akihiko: Fear, Aegis: Confused, and then the worse one I could possibly imagine Yukari: Charmed. I just said okay it can't be that bad she'll attack a party member that's it. Then she cast Diahran on Nyxs avatar. I saw 2 hours wasted as I saw that whole entire life bar fill up. I wish I recorded that moment.

[Kyuubi619]

@Whitefox789 Oh man. If I were you, I would have been like, *Drops controller/psp and walks out the room*

[royalkingmatt]

@Whitefox789 That happened to me too- TWICE in one battle! I was so infuriated. My best strategy is to now have one healer in my party and have that person deplete her SP before she can screw you over. Just have Minato with a Persona with Null Charm and have him heal the party instead.

[giganoluna]

Time is near everyone...(tick tock tick tock which is kinda long to wait 31.1.12) so lets fight nyx... destroy the darkness. make the black souls perish in despair cause our bond, is ready to save all human kind. Even if this world is shrouded with sorrow and death, the light of hope is always shining. waiting for the one who will grasp it and help the ones in need. Summon thy persona and wait for the time because as nyx say, it matters not who we are, death awaits you.

I summon you! XEITH! :)

[spaceninja516]

Nyx, get ready to be defeated by the persona users all over the world!!!

[123utau]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[mikethegamer0]

ugh i have 5 more days until Jan. 31st! im trying max out all the characters...talk about last minute huh? XD its taking forever!

[DictatorStatus]

@mikethegamer0 - has anyone noticed that the shadows have a strange resemblance to the shyguys in supermario bros 2? even the magic potion in smb 2 is somewhat similar to the dark hour since things get dark and objects freeze in time like the persona 3 game. i just think its an amazing coincidence

[DreiiFernandes]

Yo anyone Tell me What which soundtrack minato was listening to

in the First arrival scene when he was walking listening to he headphones

i cant find it i think so anyone know?

[lunardragon2607]

@DreiiFernandes That song was Burn My Dread -Last Battle-, the one that was playing when Minato went up alone against Nyx's true form.

[Casparatis]

This battle was really boring and overall kinda frustrating but it at least had really good music!

[Fantabanubbus]

losings not an option

MESSIAH! MEGIDOLOAN!

[tsdZero1993]

Give it all you got!

LAMIA! MASUKUKAJA!

[FallenDarkAngel1993]

ZIO PIKACHU!!

[MatthewspEp2]

Nyx will apear on 21/12/2012 are you ready to risk your lives to seal it once and for all?

[kuwaizair]

@MatthewspEp2 but they wanted it to come didn't t they?

[MatthewspEp2]

@kuwaizair Who knows...

[StrifeAxel]

I'm not too sure, but I'm getting a slight feeling that the arcana is the means by which all is revealed...Just a hunch though.

[ADecadentAddiction]

Junpei: Tartarus? Tartar sauce... Man, I'm hungry now

[FallenDarkAngel1993]

@ADecadentAddiction

im pretty sure he said it sounded like tooth paste....

[FmanTail]

Per... so... na!

[Mintostrife]

nyx has a weird hat...

[Mintostrife]

nyx has a wierd hat...

[MegaTrickynick]

The only bad thing about Persona 3, was after a certain time, I really fuckin wished it was possible to summon Persona...only to realize it will never be possible. I was so crushed ;( *sniffle*

Otherwise it was an incredible game.

[FR33DOMK1D]

It took three loops in the game before I realized the Velvet Room was in there

[geasslelouch]

i wish someone switched an evoker with a real gun PERSONA!*bang falls on the ground dead* oops that wasnt an evoker

[Chaoktarukto]

@geasslelouch you stole my joke! >:O

[SOMEGUYONU2B]

Fuuka: HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN!

[shabalabadingdong]

@SOMEGUYONU2B Good thing there's the undub version for Persona 3. You get to listen to Noto Mamiko speak instead of some random woman

And man, the final fight sounds so much better in the undub

[Suzumushi100]

@SOMEGUYONU2B Fuuka isn't as bad she just states the obvious

[Ilovemariofan]

Aegis: Robocop!

[GHLFOREVER]

meh, just call the Hito-Shura to fuck her ass up ¬_¬

[Fanzy35]

Its true we'll all die no matter what, better to just move on and keep having fun while we can

[Cococrash11]

A Battle version of the Velvet Room music. Coolio.

[LGLG69]

[vivaluis59]

lets all remember to celebrate Minato saving the world, i will make a minato arisato national holiday :D

[Jakkdude]

Thou art I. And I am thou. From the sea of thy soul i comth. I am orpheus, Master of strings. xD

[AnGiRiOn]

@Jakkdude I always thought tha "master of strings" is soooooo unepic. If it would have been "master of melodies" or "master of the lyre" it would be better. "Master of strings" sounds more like a puppeter =P

[ttamecco]

what would happen if six people stood in a circle and did a persona fusion.... the world destroying bastards wouldnt stand a chance against us :)

[TheChaosWeilder]

This is easily one of the most epic battle themes ever.

Persona rocks!

[DerUnbekannteFlo]

I could hardly swear i heard this Song in Dynasty Warriors 6

[RPGmaniacofall]

@Kail625 evoker for the win

[YamishiMizuandDracus]

love what you're doing here man, i know i can rely on you for all my favorite persona songs.

btw, if i had a persona, it would be my male main character from the anime idea i've been developing for 6 years now:

Yamishi, of the Death Arcana.

he's a demonic, three-eyed, genetically engineered shinigami-demigod-thing that vaguely resembles a cross between Sephiroth and a fox-boy.

and let me tell you, he'd be overpowered.

great job Lunardragon!

[Xeniphyst]

@YamishiMizuandDracus The most stereotypical idea of anything anime-related I've ever heard. e-e

As for me... my persona is Feng Huang, the phoenix of Chinese lore.

[YamishiMizuandDracus]

@Xeniphyst well, i was more or less describing Yamishi as he appears in my fanfictions/roleplays. he's dramatically toned-down in my actual anime project.

[Xeniphyst]

@YamishiMizuandDracus You'd kind of hope so. Hate so see yet another Sephiroth/furry Gary-Sue on the internet. -3-

[TrevorCBelmont]

ill need a Persona to stop 2012 from happening... aghhh i aint goin down without a fight if somethings gonna happen ill die fighting I defy you...2012 thing lol

[VinceKato]

@TrevorCBelmont Junpei didn't even use his persona that much, he just swung a sword. I have a bokken so I'm ready for Quetzalcoatl(the 2012 version of Nyx)

[heckstersjr]

Then Who's the Nyx Avatar then?? xD

[VinceKato]

@heckstersjr uh.........Lunardragon?

[andretatontos]

Is nyx really a "she" ?

[zephyrknight13]

@andretatontos yes nyx is the mother of all shadows

[andretatontos]

@zephyrknight13 Ohhh..... So, Ryoji is a woman XD

[zephyrknight13]

@andretatontos not exactly coz Ryoji is the "Appriser" of Nyx, and is destined to be the harbinger of Death. when Ryoji appeared in the final level of Tartarus, he serves as an avatar of Nyx, bearing the potential and skills that the twelve previous shadows possessed.

[kokosnootful]

hey lunar i have this request special for you
