    That P5 music "leak" a while ago was at least fun in that you discovered some cool music you've never heard before. I thought that maybe we could continue that by posting what we think would be fitting for a Persona game. Everyone's lists will obviously be quite reflective of their own tastes. You can break down the music into themes if you want, like determination, memories, school, battle, etc. You don't have to stick to my themes.

    As much as I liked it initially, I don't think I'd want them to go with the Persona 3 (and 4 also, I think?) habit of including songs with lyrics. To their credit, the lyrics are generally not mixed to the forefront, but there's still only so many times I can hear "I never felt like, da da da-ddaa daaa, I never felt like DA da da-ddaa da da" every time I go into a shop. Not to mention "babybabybabybabybabybaby."

    Hey, don't get me wrong, I love BAYBEHBAYBEHBAYBEHBAYBEHBAYBEHBAYBEHBAYBEH as much as the next guy, but there are times when a little variety is nice.

    The only song I can think of was the velvet room from persona 3.

    My friend loves this game, and he tried to get me to play it, but I wasn't digging it to much. Hell I don't even know what's special about the game (no pun intended)

    How about they make everyone happy and include a custom music option within the game? Everyone has different tastes in music. Honestly, the Persona OST's were not my cup of tea.

    I can pretty much guarantee Shoji Meguro's work will return. His scores are consistently one of the most praised parts of the Persona team's games.

    I think Persona 5 should be all post-rock to remain edgy. Maybe it's just me.

    how about "heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BA BADA BADA BADABU DUUUHHH... *mumbles something that sounds like french*"

    Anyways... silliness aside. It would be cool if you could chose your own soundtrack in-game, but that sounds like a lot of work to do properly. The first thing I would do is set the battle music to "Reach Out to the Truth". =) Ahh good times.

    Naw! One of my favourite parts of the game is the catchy, weird soundtrack. I wouldn't want to replace it with my own stuff because I'd much rather have a new battle theme with MC Lotus Juice laying down some dope rhymes over the top. Though as far as style goes I've love some real upbeat ska music.

    Sounds like the sort of decision that the Internet would get flustered about.

    "Why is there an option to use your own music? Do they not have confidence in their soundtrack? Who doesn't like Shoji Meguro? WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T LIKE SHOJI MEGURO-SAN-SAMA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!?"

    It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I've seen enough of the SMT/Persona fanbase to realize that it's a pretty crazy one. I'm positive that all of the fans aren't like that, but the vocal minority seems to be the Anime-loving, pocky-slinging, body pillow fanatics mixed with the douchebaggery of JRPG-elitists. Shit's fucked, yo.

    Personally, I just throw on a pair of headphones and listen to my own stuff whenever I'm tired of a soundtrack/doing something tedious. Let ATLUS spend a little more time making the color theme more appealing; it's gonna be a bit hard to top Persona 4's loveliness.

    ----------

    EDIT: On a sidenote, I'm still pissed that I haven't been able to figure out the original name of this song:

    Nothing is worse than being unable to identify a movie/game/song/show, especially when you've got a case like this where the answer is right there.

    Never played TWEWY, but a lot of people liked it.

    I was just listening to Dio, so I'm going to suggest an 80's metal-themed Persona game. Get away from this JPOP shit, as much as I loved it.

    Actually, I would like to see Persona 5 do something radically different. Wouldn't it be great if every other Persona game took a vast departure from the previous two, keeping only the high-school persona-fusing dungeon-crawling core of madness that we know and love? No? You guys just want Persona 4 with better graphics and more personas?

    OK then.

    The build-up makes this a great boss battle music, I think.
