Persona 4 OST- I'll Face Myself -Battle-

[SgtFocko]

fav song from that game

[akito989]

Because of this anime, my life is now more meaningful. :D

Heck, I had an essay competition last week and I chose the topic, "My Greatest Fear." What fear did I wrote? Simply put, "To not be myself" 8DD

..Cuz you never know when your shadow's gonna pop out~! <3

[bcman001]

kuma kills shadows to this music

[2rok334]

It probably sounds lame, but this game genuinely changed my life. I know, I make it sound like it had more of an impact than it did, but honestly, after playing through the whole thing I finally understood. Everybody has that side of themselves that they dislike and can't admit they have. The side they run away from. But you shouldn't be afraid of it, you should embrace it. Because it will never not be a part of you. It's as much a part of you as all other aspects of your personality.

[imooumoo4]

@2rok334 I think the real problem is finding that side. Most people bury it so deep that they literally cannot recognize it when it comes to fruition.

[02Alams]

there's something philosophical about this game, I guess the lesson is of all this is, is that we should always look to criticize our bad points and improve ourselves as people/humans.

[OriginalVenom]

Honestly, if i knew this song would play...I would purposely denounce my shadow half just so it would play during our confrontation.

[Bluey306]

"YOU'RE NOT MEEEEE" = magic words to an epic boss fight

8,DDDDDDD

[2Niyari]

This is what fuckin high school kids need to do.

[DementedPuupy]

-insert motivational music here-

This game made me face my true self.

It made me realize that I shouldn't lie to myself just because it's the easier thing to do.

So much more is to be gained from finding out the truth about ourselves.

Sure, it may be hard at times, but when we succeed it's totally worth it.

Thank you, Atlus.

I never would have realized the truth without you. ;____;

[FancyCoke]

I am a shadow. The true self. *Insert character's hidden thoughts*

[jackjelet]

YOU'RE...

pls dun say that

NOT...

no!!

ME!!

we are doomed..

[yukifan7]

YOU'RE...NOT.....ME!

*all hell breaks loose*

MC: I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY THAT DAMMIT! NOW WE GOTTA FIGHT!

[EstelleTheHedgehog]

love this theme, it's so epic!

[gunzero99]

2 people could not bear to face themselves. They keep rejecting their other self, and thus have been killed by...

themselves... (even with this epic music playing as they struggled).

[ZeroALLEY]

like it when kanji does his special move...Everyones hit with a critical damage and sometimes knocked down.. thumbs up if u agree XDDD

[ANGRYMAPLE]

This song turns erections into wieldable 2 handed weapons........and no one can deny that

[Rabengesang]

"I am a shadow. The true self."

Best.Line.Ever.

[DarkMetalKasierX]

Epic song just epic

[iammadrightnow]

I"m not ashamed to admit, this song makes my cry tears of manlyness

[TheShadowParliament]

Where in the name of all things holy is Persona 5? I want to save the world again and have more virtual girlfriends.

[Rudevald]

@TheShadowParliament Not to moention avesome battle themes !

[UquiorraSama]

@TheShadowParliament MegaTen Devil survivor .-.

[sumowow]

Is everyone excited? The Persona 4 anime is on it's way

[knochen900]

2 people didn't guard against nihil hand

[HitomiKagewaki]

The only thing I didn't like about persona 4 or persona 3 portable was the total lack of fusion spells, but they are still my favorite rpgs of all time along with the Ys series.

[Irrashaimase1]

@HitomiKagewaki Well, from what I read, you can still buy the fusion spells in P3P from the antique shop, so at least they still exist. I'm playin through P3 again right now and at 9/something I have all my level 40 persona and an 8 orpheus/3asparas. Its kinda annoying lol

[HitomiKagewaki]

The only thing I didn't like about persona 4 or persona 3 portable was the total lack of fusion spells, but they are still my favorite rpgs of all time.

[TakaEiyuuteki]

nice Jam...nice beat

[personayoung3]

i wonder what my shadow like ...:O

[tarantism]

this is one of those special games that give you nostalgia. i only played this last year but i feel nostalghia listening to this

[RPGMusicStudios]

this song proves that shoji meguro is god in human form

[CapitanKurosaki]

"Sensei? Sensei? Senseiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!"

[Indignationism]

All the songs of Persona 4 really feel nostalgic to me and it makes me wanna play it again!

Hpe they'll be making Persona 5 soon. :D

[mariox901]

Akihiko and Shinjiro ---> Kanji ( Kanji is like a Mix of theme he's a Tough Guy On the Outside Niceguy on the in Kinda like them)

Rise ---> Fukka? (She's Pretty Cheery though i dunno She's Fukka-ish or something though i dun think that's it)

Chie --> Yukari (Many Similarity's Between them Yukari and Chie Are Both Tomboyish but Chie Win's By Far)

Naoto --> Aigis (Dunno there Both Silentish and they Both use Gun's)

Teddie --> Ken (Hrm i dunno prolly both of them are cute maybe?)

[Tooldoh]

@mariox901 Noooooooes ! Teddie is funny, Ken is just annoying (seriously i've never felt sorry for him oO)

I think you can compare Teddie to Koromaru :D

[mariox901]

Alright Persona 3 and 4 Comparisons

Souji ---> Minato (Souji has Personality that is the only Thing Minato Doesn't haz though it's not a bad thing Minato is Pimpin Jesus >_>)Though there both silent Protag's i guess

Yosuke --> Junpei (There both Perv's Even though Yosuke doesn't Act Perv all the time)

Misturu --> Yukiko (There Both Upperclassmen Looking though Mitsuru is always Sharp Looking Yukiko just laugh's at everything o_o)

[Firephoenix105]

@mariox901

Yukiko is not souji's sempai. Hence that last argument is kinda invalid ;)

[mariox901]

@Firephoenix105 First of all I DID NOT SAY Yukiko was Souji's Sempai I Said she looks pretty refined She act's pretty cold at the start of the game but soon you see her true personality ;( which wasn't wat i expected

[Firephoenix105]

@mariox901

> Misturu --> Yukiko (There Both Upperclassmen Looking though Mitsuru is always Sharp Looking Yukiko just laugh's at everything o_o)

Mitsuru is minato's sempai, yukiko souji's classmate.

W/e

[Persona3Line]

@Firephoenix105 Yukiko -> Fuuka I think. they just look like... you know

[kerogiro22]

If I ever face my shadow, I'll be sure to tape my mouth shut so i don't accidentally blurt out "YOU'RE NOT ME!"

[Daumerzocker]

2 people couldnt face them selfs

[piledriver45]

So intimidating...

when I face my shadow this is gonna be my theme for everything

[MorelloZzT7]

Bring on a can of whoop-ass!

[PBRMasterKai]

Throw down! JIRAIYA!

[Kommentarist]

Persona 4 is one of the best games,I have ever played.

The Story is deep,the characters are awesome and the gameplay is varied.

My personal first place in the top ten of roundbased-combat-games-with-a­-crime-story!

[DaRkXyStEr]

I wonder what my shadow would be like. I know I'm not perfect, but I'd wanna see if there was anything that I'm denying. Though, there's that side of me that would deny anything it said/did just because I'd wanna fight it xD

[jonatan2595]

''Im the shadow, The true Self!'' Man i love this game x3

[megalink909]

I Am a Shadow...THE TRUE SELF. I Shall Crush The Two People That Dosnt Love This Song!

Seta Souji: *Ahem* Isnt There a Fourth Wall?

[javiman]

@megalink909

those too people were Adachi and Mr Marooka :p

[megalink909]

@javiman

True dat. Boi.

[JMH2285]

I like this song; however, Shadow Mitsuo is annoying. Would someone please help me?

[Abedeuss]

@JMH2285 Check GameFaqs. But yeah, apart from Yukiko's Shadow and Kanji's Shadow (well, his helpers at least...), Mitsuo was the most annoying. Even the final battle wasn't as tedious.

Destroy his walls with high-damage spells or physical attacks before he gets to rebuild the outer shell. If you can't do it, he'll just regenerate the armor and you'll have to beat it again (it has 1400hp, so better not let him do it).

[JMH2285]

@Abedeuss Thank you for the information.

[Abedeuss]

@JMH2285 No problem. In case of any problems, visit the Boss FAQ on GameFaqs, it helped me a lot with the bosses.

[JMH2285]

@Abedeuss I will do that.

[shadowagent]

@Abedeuss Also it'd be a great idea to try and cover your party's elemental weaknesses.Shadow Mitsuo can attack twice in one turn and things'll get nasty if he downs a party member since he ALWAYS follows up a knock down with Megidola

[Abedeuss]

@shadowagent That's why a team of you, Kanji, Chie and Yosuke can breeze through boss fights even at Expert. When you max their Social Links, they have one immunity, sometimes on Resist and no weaknesses, while both Yukiko and Teddy have annoying weaknesses. Teddy is especially useless in the last boss fight, since the boss loves Lightning attacks...

[Dead666ification]

so whats the news of p5 ?

is it coming ?

[brandoniny1]

@Dead666ification Yes

[kekkaishi90]

[freedomleon96]

[vitorduartesnake]

I am a Shadow, the true self! Come my Prince, let's dance and make merry together!

I AM A SHADOW. COME. I'LL END YOUR EMPTINESS.

[LuvRMadly27]

Hearing this makes me full of nostalgia, sad face that Im finished with the game now :( It was AWESOME, love the Persona 3 short cameos in it~3 and 4 were my fav RPG's next to Final Fantasy's rpg's ever~~~

[MattPowerxD]

Are 3 Enemies! Wait...

[DemonmachinE]

The melody at one point in this song is very similar to the one from Mana Khemia's first battle theme.

[JosedGeminis]

When I'm fighting a boss and the song comes up, I actually get up of my chair and I'm thinking something like: "here I come bitch, let's see if YOu can handle ME."

Just like with "Battle for Everyone's Souls" in P3

God bless you Shoji Meguro.

[elementpollo]

me too XD

internet high-five

[JosedGeminis]

*High-fives*

[fuzzybunnyfish]

*four-way high-fives through the internet*

[JosedGeminis]

xDDDD

[Amakegure]

@JosedGeminis Amen

[hurricanemac]

@JosedGeminis Amen to that

[DShinryuu]

Ice won't work on this one...

[mayatatsuya]

"Rokuten-mao" thats a mouthful...

[ty10k]

The Advantage of having bosses that take approx. 2 lifetimes is that you get to hear this song over andp over and not get bored

God Bless Atlus... And Squenix for brining it out over here.

[Evilmarmelade]

"Crush'em Rokuten-Mao!"

[DallasX]

The best Boss battle theme EVER!!! its freakin awesome. Sometimes i kill the bosses real slow just because i want to hear this song more xD

[HyperTails3]

I always think this when I hear the boss theme.

MC: RISE, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL.

Rise: IT'S OVER 9000!!!!

[FateOfTime]

Yosuke: What should we do?

MC: ....

Yosuke: Sure, sounds good

[Shu512]

Question: What was the name of Yosuke's evolved Persona after maxing Magician Arcana?

[Rikuo86]

Susano-o

[Shu512]

Thank You.

[stupogo0]

@Rikuo86 thay cange names when they evolve ok that good to know like most of thier names weren't hard to remember well i got yosake at the edge of ranking max and rise hasn't been kidnapped yet in my file

[Remnainsofbattle]

@Rikuo86 and why is there a giant eye next to Susano-o when you look at him in Yosuke's states

[gameplaypark]

@Rikuo86 Before it was much cooler

Pervy sage

[BloodSonicFlux]

@Rikuo86 Susano-o?

You mean like the Blazblue character?

[MindlessInvalid]

@BloodSonicFlux

susano-o is one of the japanese celestial gods in the shinto cosmology.

I think he's the god of the stars.

Amaterasu was the goddess of the sun.

Tsukinoyomi(sp?) was the god of the moon

Susano-o was the god of the sun.

It's common in japanese media to re-use the names of deities from all sorts of cosmologies for names of characters and weapons.

All of the personas in all of the persona games come from real mythology with almost no exceptions (like hellbiker).

[BloodSonicFlux]

@MindlessInvalid Well, that was... Informative... Even though I was joking....

Thank you.

[WingZero1223]

@MindlessInvalid actually, Susano-o is the god of the sea and storms, and the ruler of the land of yomi.

[MindlessInvalid]

@WingZero1223 I had an issue with dysphasia in that post it seems, not only was my intent wrong but I also put down something than what I meant. Susano-o was indeed a storm deity as I'm looking at one of my translations of japanese folklore anthologies right now. For some reason I said sun, when I already listed amaterasu as the goddess of the sun. I meant to say stars. But that was wrong.

[WingZero1223]

@MindlessInvalid  I gotcha. It's cool.

[timrtabor123]

@Rikuo86 yosuke's an okami fan aparently

[HMKno2]

MC : HYEAH

LOL???

[PencilScratch]

Funny he has a scar where Akihiko had a band-aid (not really a band-aid, but you know.)

[xpolar1706x]

I always find myself humming this song whenever its playing. Love it so much. something id play if i was fighting a boss.

[Shu512]

Yosuke:Countin on ya, PERSONA!

[zipzap101]

Teddie:BEAR-SONA c=

[drakelizard]

how...bear-iffic...

[epicbethyname]

Awesome song... Kanji is awesome as well.

[EinDose]

Persona 4 doesn't even come out here until March, and I still swear I recognise this song. It's like if the Battle for Everyone's Souls and Darkness (Nyx Avatar and Erebus respectively) got slammed together in a compressor and just formed concentrated awesome.

[Shu512]

Wait which game does Erebus come out of in the Persona series, 1,2,3 or 4? (honest question I have no freakin clue.)

[EinDose]

The final boss of Persona 3 FES. The embodiment of the human desire for The End, if I recall.

[Shu512]

Wait I thought that was Nyx, I think Erebus was something like human malice or somethin like that?

[EinDose]

No, Nyx was death itself, Erebus (I think called Erebus in the English version, and in the Japanese his name translated to Human Malice) was the human desire for death brought form. Hence its attempt to get through the Great Seal, and it being the Fool Arcana (representing the common man).

[pikapal45]

Persona Fes 3. In The Answer. :D

[Lordx718]

I love the hell out of Atlus for stuffing about every new PS2 game of theirs with the soundtrack...they kick incredible amounts of ass. I heart this friggin soundtrack

TOTAL WOOTNESS!!!

[pikarikku]

awesome song. everytime i listen to it, i'll hum along to the guitar.

[Shadowclonesora]

i d o 2 :D

[Keunono]

Nice then I think you two need to social linke -.- xD

[tse82]

one of the best fight songs in rpg history!!!!

[Dasten]

GARGHHHHH, why do i love this so much?!

[Rikuo86]

Because it's awesome and full of win?

[RoadToTheDawn]

also possibly because it pumps u up and makes u want to beat the crap out of any enemy that appears(in this case the bosses), but i prefer reach out for the truth xD

[TestaXDizzy]

and because it's Got Kanji as the Picture.

[Shadowclonesora]

C. Falcon: "YES!" :D

[Nevereverlalaland]

@Rikuo86 YES!
