| 10 | * The game may not have aged well, but the soundtrack's an exception. Case in point: the intense, driving "[[https://youtu.be/DTJPasJrqDg Sea of Flames]]". |
| 11 | |
| 12 | [[AC:VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII]] |
| 13 | * With the power of the N163 chip at his fingertips, Tsukasa Masuko gives the Famicom one of its finest boss battle songs: "[[https://youtu.be/SwlvJ9vsGsU Death Match]]". |
| 14 | %%* And who could forget the earworm that is "[[https://youtu.be/L_peXk2XzcM Explorer]]". |
| 15 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/Qy_KVfKoOhI Hallucination]], the overworld theme for Makai, is quite good as well. |
| 16 | * [[https://youtu.be/byM8eV0kj00 Devil Speak]], the theme of the Jakyou Manor/Mansion of Heresy/Cathedral of Shadows all began with this. |
| 17 | * The game's casino theme, [[https://youtu.be/ScCIE3hnkHQ I Love Money]], might be the finest soundalike of "Johnny B. Goode" in a video game. Eat your heart out, "[[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings Hippie Battle]]". |
| 18 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/s6kUcLFIZRg OMEGA]], the theme for the FinalBoss Satan and TrueFinalBoss YHVH. |
| 19 | * And finally there is the game's credits theme, the absolutely gorgeous "[[https://youtu.be/7ROHroKP0F8 Dawn of the Human Being]]". |
| 20 | [[/folder]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:''Shin Megami Tensei'']] |
| 23 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI]] |
| 24 | * The game provides a rather soothing and friendly theme with [[https://youtu.be/NLcXXz01Tn8 Pascal's Theme]]. A nice little tune for your loyal canine companion. [[MemeticMutation Pascal the dog is here indeed]]. |
| 25 | * The initial map theme [[https://youtu.be/IxYM0qQoQJA Kichijoji]] is an incredibly catchy song despite its harsh percussion and eerie undertones. It was even [[https://youtu.be/GGSbyJXN86o remixed]] for ''Persona 5 Royal'', and it's even ''more'' catchy. |
| 26 | * One of the most famously awesome songs of the series comes from the original: [[https://youtu.be/hnncLWenZnw Ginza]] has to be one of the coolest songs in the series. |
| 27 | * [[https://youtu.be/JoFE6Ii1f-Y The Battle Theme]] is pretty hard rocking for being one of the earlier games. |
| 28 | * [[https://youtu.be/Tn6mji9oRsA The Boss Theme]], note that this link is for the track from the official soundtrack, and the full version isn't heard in game until it's reused in ''[[https://youtu.be/_hTfOa39_9o Shin Megami Tensei If...]]''. Before then, the first part of the song is just looped. Also awesome are the remixes from [[https://youtu.be/chc1O0tu20w NINE]] and [[https://youtu.be/K4FCVGR6mpQ IMAGINE]]. |
| 29 | * [[http://youtu.be/YS7ipOD6HbE Arcade]] was remixed admirably in ''[[https://youtu.be/95tJNXhhnTY Nocturne]]'' as the Ginza theme. |
| 30 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/B8byakEM0iE Ruins]], the overworld song for after the great cataclysm. |
| 31 | * [[https://youtu.be/8APfjEw7kIU The Law alignment's theme]], quite fitting of the Messians. It got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ql7mwVzMsk remixed]] in ''Nocturne'' to sound like it's being sung by a choir. |
| 32 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/joCKmFE2j0g Embassy]], and just like the boss battle, the full version can only be heard in the soundtrack. |
| 33 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/W0DUzzphJv0 Cathedral]] for the final dungeon. Of which only the first 20 seconds are looped in the game. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII]] |
| 36 | * The [[https://youtu.be/2D4oCTns6YM Chaos]] theme manages to sound both peaceful AND threatening. |
| 37 | * The [[https://youtu.be/9mgDGDo9KGo Law]] theme is straight on sinister. Fitting, considering Law is still out to commit genocide and end free will. |
| 38 | * The [[https://youtu.be/oVTlNkAxlYU Neutral Theme]] sounds very otherworldly, as well as hopeful, more so than Law. |
| 39 | %%* The [[https://youtu.be/suirIURWKBo Boss fight]] theme. |
| 40 | * The [[https://youtu.be/ao5Fiiw_F0o major boss theme]], often played during a ClimaxBoss, or the FinalBoss, takes the melody of the first game's boss theme, slows it down, and adds a pounding rhythm to show its might |
| 41 | * Everyone dances furiously at the [[https://youtu.be/FJxqdspADfM Disco]], including a certain [[https://youtu.be/fzKbz1DxuRE Mr. Thriller.]] |
| 42 | %%* The Makai [[https://youtu.be/u7dgFVf6pjc Overworld]] and [[https://youtu.be/9ydtHMiBTCQ Dungeon]] themes. |
| 43 | %%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBCFFCFB062501BBD PSX]] version of the OST. |
| 44 | * The [[https://youtu.be/ApkvrHDMyDM original Battle Theme]] is pretty sweet, as it's very energetic and has an awesome guitar riff. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIf]] |
| 47 | * ''If'' reuses many tracks from both ''I'' and ''II''; however, there are rare cases where it instead remixes a track from those games. [[https://youtu.be/-4RpbkpDJxU The Domain of Envy]] is a perfect example of this, as it adds a peaceful and almost solemn touch onto 2D Center from ''II'', breathing new life into the track. |
| 48 | * [[https://youtu.be/4NaWKq5Jk-M Old Enemy - Akira Volume]], one of the staple battle themes of the game that has become a favorite for both fans and the developers, with it making appearances in ''Nocturne'', ''IMAGINE'' and ''Persona 5''. |
| 49 | * [[https://youtu.be/UpSkhR0ts6k Battle - Akira Volume]] remixes the battle themes of the first two games into a catchy, intense song that gets one ready to slay some demons. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiNINE]] |
| 52 | * Instead of one standard battle theme for random encounters, ''NINE'' has different battle themes depending on the player's alignment. For example, the Light/Neutral route gets [[https://youtu.be/356tYeeJgQM this absolute banger]]. |
| 53 | * [[https://youtu.be/jHvPhXUumHE Jakyou Manor]] gets a real organ for the first time, and it is glorious. |
| 54 | * For important story moments, there's [[https://youtu.be/6shultl93fU Choosing Sides.]] [[BossRemix It gets remixed]] for the final battle's [[https://youtu.be/bpHC51vjXrA first phase]], somehow managing to sound even more somber. |
| 55 | * [[https://youtu.be/tE94fOrrguU Final Battle 2]], on the other hand, is a lot more triumphant and aggressive, which is fitting for the final battle's home stretch. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne]] |
| 58 | * Mysterious and foreboding, [[https://youtu.be/acZYuUBoEjQ the opening]] is the perfect foreshadowing of what is to come. |
| 59 | * The overworld music of Tokyo before the Conception, titled [[https://youtu.be/MTHFJacaIb8 Large Map: Real Universe]] is a kickass introduction to the game and a taste of how awesome the rest of the soundtrack will be. |
| 60 | * The music that occurs during the scenes before and during [[https://youtu.be/fSpOK8JUCTA the Conception]]. It starts with a somber yet peaceful piano intro during the conversation with Yuko before steadily begins to build up moments before the Conception occurs. Once the apocalypse starts in full sway, a majestic and epic organ plays throughout the following destruction of the world and the forming of the Vortex World, building up to a magnificent crescendo before being followed by an epic rock piece mixed with the organs to show that shit just got real. |
| 61 | * Fierce and bestial, [[https://youtu.be/5QH_eAdgEJ8 Beelzebub's battle song]] will make you fear flies. |
| 62 | * [[https://youtu.be/fylg8zp4Pzo The Reason boss battle song]] is as dignified as an angry god. Nothing says you're fighting the god behind an entire world's philosophy quite like that. |
| 63 | * A two-fer! [[https://youtu.be/HdCVQ3lc0Bc Demon World Master]] lets you know who exactly is in charge, while [[https://youtu.be/5XZD2nSNH0w Metatron's battle song]] does the same. |
| 64 | * And then there's [[https://youtu.be/ngUfhhoRh84 Battle with Dante/Raidou]]. When you hear [[https://youtu.be/pIvBvkBp8m8k this song]], you know that badassery is just around the corner. |
| 65 | * The [[https://youtu.be/hQhgTN7bNH8 Normal Battle]] theme. The fact that it's used during the {{Superboss}} fight in ''Digital Devil Saga'' over the half dozen others themes is proof that it is that badass. The best part of the theme (which you don't get when listening to a single recording of it) is that it has [[https://youtu.be/_q2-yOBOov8 multiple variations of the main riff]] that are chosen randomly during the actual game. It really helps to keep it sounding fresh. |
| 66 | * When you look death in the face, you don't hear yourself laughing. [[http://youtu.be/UR6pHaeRV3w You hear this]]. |
| 67 | ** With [[https://youtu.be/8CqE1ydsQNg4 this]] immediately preceding. That plus [[https://youtu.be/MVagm39bnTQ this one that prefaces normal boss battles]] kindly inform the player that they are soooo [[NintendoHard going to die]]. |
| 68 | ** And curiously enough, this is an actual boss battle remix version of the [[https://youtu.be/RZwvSI06yo8 character naming theme]] from ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII''! Yep, they made a naming theme into one that features [[ThatOneBoss Those Many Bosses]]. BringMyRedJacket, please! |
| 69 | * The [[https://youtu.be/DmqbhyS-BK8 boss battle theme]] has a rocking beat and lyrics that befit a defiant Demi-Fiend standing against his foes. |
| 70 | * [[https://youtu.be/byDPvtf4-Dw Large Map: Last Area]]. If there were ever a theme that would perfectly underscore a TeamPowerWalk, this would be it. |
| 71 | * From among the other regular battle themes: [[https://youtu.be/UKZq9xrY0XQ World Map Battle]] goes for straight up rocking. [[https://youtu.be/7RiHmQcHa84 Town Battle]] throws in a jazzy flair to complement the rocking. [[https://youtu.be/C_z6MtRmmsg Amala Network Battle]] which is originally from ''Shin Megami Tensei If..'' And finally, there's the [[https://youtu.be/W6s_fX0zWGI Labyrinth of Amala Battle Theme]]. |
| 72 | * The [[https://youtu.be/O3PujvkIZug Forced Battle]] theme, which plays whenever you fight a miniboss, perfectly encapsulates the feeling of overcoming the odds and somehow winning what would otherwise be a CurbStompBattle and even has some cool lyrics which are text-to-speech, with one part often misheard as "ONE MORE GOD REJECTED!". |
| 73 | * Get to [[TrueFinalBoss Lucifer]] and the theme is the aptly named [[https://youtu.be/GO0lYfZB85k Final Battle]], which exchanges some of the game's usual intensity for a great guitar solo on a more subdued beat. It really drives home how far you've come. Don't disappoint Lucifer! |
| 74 | * [[https://youtu.be/R3JTQv9Vmgw Last Battle -Before Transformation-]], a track so out of place for a final boss it loops around all the way to the perfect fit. |
| 75 | * [[https://youtu.be/TitUJrwcxio Metatron's]] battle theme. Ideally suited for the Voice of God. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney]] |
| 78 | * [[https://youtu.be/6P3hJZ_FpwM The Fear of God]] is the random battle theme, and you know you've got yourself a game with good music if the ''normal battle theme'' is awesome. |
| 79 | * The title screen music, where we see the Red Sprite, Blue Jet, Elve, and Gigantic racing toward the Antarctic storm that is the Schwarzwelt, while listening to [[https://youtu.be/YMfZ0UeoXGU this]]. |
| 80 | ** This track gets a triumphant return at the end of the game as [[https://youtu.be/cu_GROLgBuU Take the Shield, Raise the Spear]], reminding you of how far you've come as you confront the FinalBoss. |
| 81 | ** And once more, the main theme is arranged into [[https://youtu.be/NX1oMJ3QxYY Scepter of Justice]], the credits theme, a beautiful piece to go with reflecting on the fruits of your journey. |
| 82 | * The first dungeon music that plays is [[https://youtu.be/zMEPYeJBaIs A Scorched Nation]]. The game has no pretenses about making it clear that ''you're entering hell''. |
| 83 | * It doesn't end there, since when you fight an unknown enemy or a ''MiniBoss'', you get [[https://youtu.be/L5H9pEGwPUI An Honor Befitting That Name]]. |
| 84 | * At the lowest points of the game's story where you feel like you can't go on, you'll definitely need inspirational speeches and [[https://youtu.be/t14ooprd3ZI Morale]]. |
| 85 | * [[https://youtu.be/lDTNnS8Xsd0 In the Master's Name]] plays whenever you're in a situation where shit just got real. |
| 86 | * [[https://youtu.be/pkTRfGpMACA Holy Miracle]]. Never before has the phrase "God is PISSED!" been more appropriate. |
| 87 | * [[https://youtu.be/N1lA-COyWYA Vehement Rage]], the track for a sector boss, gives you an grand orchestra match the threat you're facing. |
| 88 | * You're probably used to [[https://youtu.be/8WRt3Bo6SYI The End]] as it plays during the battle results screen. But when it begins playing during the alignment-locking dialogue tree, it drives home how much weight your answers carry. |
| 89 | * [[https://youtu.be/zXpWo9C3XUA The Tyrannical Hero]] is perhaps the best battle theme in the whole game, and it really captures the emotion of a battle to the death with Jimenez, pretty much your closest friend on the Red Sprite. |
| 90 | * [[https://youtu.be/ECwB57Bq3HE Sorrow]], while [[TearJerker not awesome in the traditional sense]], does a fantastic job with enhancing sad moments. |
| 91 | * [[https://youtu.be/3hmwDKmtSl0 A Land Bringing About Life]], a beautifully somber track for the second half of Sector Horologium, the last section of the game before the final battle with Mem Aleph. For bonus points, on the Neutral route it first plays just before the above mentioned Jimenez battle. |
| 92 | * ''Redux'' brings us [[https://youtu.be/s-Gdqkt-0qw The Great Sign]], Alex's battle theme. It's equal parts intimidating and heroic, perfectly fitting her goals and motivations as well as her power as a boss. |
| 93 | * Also from ''Redux'' is the [[https://youtu.be/6kodLF7_dEY theme]] of the TrueFinalBoss (spoiler alert in the link), a triumphant piece as you fight to create a new future for the planet. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[AC:VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV]] |
| 96 | * ''Shin Megami Tensei IV''[='=]s music has plenty of candidates, such as the hard-rocking [[https://youtu.be/A6cSbof7Pik Boss Battle]] and [[https://youtu.be/d1qS9LMuK8M The Archangels]], which plays against Uriel, Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael, who are fought in DLC. The main boss theme also plays during several of the ultimate {{Superboss}}es (such as Astaroth and Beelzebub) in place of the Challenge Quest boss themes, to hammer home how dangerous these particular demons are. |
| 97 | * The [[https://youtu.be/KHhpFGmmUMU Main Menu Theme]], which also plays right before you face a boss. Raw, gritty and industrial as hell, it almost sounds like a Music/NineInchNails song, perfectly setting the tone of the game. |
| 98 | * The [[https://youtu.be/qDsDYCI3fyc Tokyo Overworld]] theme is incredible as well. It is both epic and sad at the same time. Fitting for a world that is about to end. |
| 99 | * As you and your fellow Samurai reach Ueno Station shortly after arriving in Tokyo, the rather dreary [[https://youtu.be/R0XmaWzcWbQ Ueno Underground District]] theme plays, highlighting just how much of a CrapsackWorld Tokyo is compared to Mikado. |
| 100 | * And as you get accustomed to Tokyo and arrive in Shinjuku Station, the more upbeat [[https://youtu.be/dClKPzjyHns Shinjuku Underground District]] theme plays. |
| 101 | * The catchy-as-hell [[https://youtu.be/Na1JEcog_t4 Midtown]] theme. |
| 102 | * The [[https://youtu.be/pCdT59_cov0 Members-Only Club]] theme, an incredibly snazzy piece used for only one shop in the entire game. Sure, getting to said shop [[CashGate requires 165,000 Macca in total]] and the shop itself has some excellent equipment that's even more expensive, but the music makes getting there to begin with WorthIt. |
| 103 | %%* The [[https://youtu.be/50MTGAvcngM Infernal Tokyo Theme]] is also quite good. |
| 104 | * The [[https://youtu.be/Pd6zu7anvgQ Tokyo Battle Theme]] opens with loud guitar and a fast beat to excite the player. |
| 105 | * Tired of listening to that theme? Don't worry, the [[https://youtu.be/CHPYTkFqH6w Blasted Tokyo Battle Theme]] (a very similar song is used for the Infernal Tokyo Battle Theme) will have you rocking again. |
| 106 | * The [[https://youtu.be/EcZHm4VllDs Domain Boss Theme,]] despite rarely playing in the main story, is one of the best battle themes in the game. It also plays in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'', when you betray Dagda in the Bonds route. |
| 107 | * The [[https://youtu.be/Vrx1sZYgp7Ek Infernal Kasumigaseki]] is a simple but heavy theme that gets your blood pumping. Sadly, it's only used in one room in the entire game. |
| 108 | * [[https://youtu.be/HdvM6Wsr7IU Merkabah I]] has one of the richest full-blown orchestra battle theme in the game. Not to mention it was used again for DLC bonus boss Ancient of Days, aka God's avatar. |
| 109 | * [[https://youtu.be/OmbiENL5qYQ Merkabah II]] plays for the One Winged Angel form for the fusion of the Archangels and Jonathan who serves as the leader of the Law forces. |
| 110 | * [[https://youtu.be/jH9QRyPWBo8 Lucifer I]] plays for the first phase of the fight against...well, guess. It plays again for the Chaos DLC {{Superboss}}, Sanat. |
| 111 | * [[https://youtu.be/BwQuxPHQCeo Challenge Quest Alpha]], which plays while a Challenge Quest to slay demons is activated, keeps your blood pumped for the quest. |
| 112 | * [[https://youtu.be/ohAiFqvZkvE Challenge Quest Beta]], which plays while an exploration or escort Challenge Quest is activated, keeps you focused on your task. |
| 113 | * The Ikebukuro Underground District gets some [[https://youtu.be/XEtRzDYYBuY pretty snazzy music]] after you liberate it from Xi Wangmu. |
| 114 | * So you're just beating up hordes of reasonably difficult mooks for a quest, finish off the last one, and breathe a sigh of relief. Then David appears and the Fiend theme from ''III'' [[https://youtu.be/GhhhsvS9CeU comes back]] in all its "prepare to get wrecked" glory! |
| 115 | * The theme for [[https://youtu.be/XgCvnkg4ncY Camp Ichigaya]], an ideal synth piece for [[DiscOneFinalDungeon the last dungeon before you go to the alternate versions of Tokyo]]. It comes back in ''Apocalypse'' for the same area, and manages to sound even more badass because this time, the place is ''on fire''. |
| 116 | * [[https://youtu.be/MMSmi8ZOSno Isabeau's Theme]]. A really epic yet sad piece, perfect for late in the story when you are forced to fight her to the death in the Law and Chaos routes. It also comes back in ''Apocalypse'', during the PlayerPunch moment as you fight through your former allies the moment you select the Massacre ending. |
| 117 | * The [[https://youtu.be/Lzjc1Y6Nf7E Neutral Theme]], a haunting, sorrowful, yet beautiful theme that reflects Isabeau's and Masakado's resolve and hopes of salvaging humanity and liberating Tokyo from the 25-year-old Firmament. |
| 118 | * [[http://youtu.be/CrrTuoNyxns The final area for the Law and Neutral]] routes is a great, heavy, piece that captures the atmosphere of the place. Note, the song title contains spoilers for the final boss of said routes. |
| 119 | * The dungeon theme for [[https://youtu.be/7b08GGuTAwg Purgatorium]] makes you feel like you're traversing God's domain. |
| 120 | * [[https://youtu.be/2_ipmyhggn8 Kiyoharu's theme]] plays in Blasted Shinjuku. As a subdued arrangement of the ''Shin Megami Tensei I'' Law theme, it reflects the catastrophic damage that the forces of Law inflicted upon Tokyo, forcing humans to corral up in the last bastion of safety. |
| 121 | * [[https://youtu.be/6om-6N_yclo The battle theme]] for Masakado himself in his full form, a suitably dramatic piece as you try to pull a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan on him, as he's gone insane trying to form the Firmament around Tokyo. It's a TimeLimitBoss battle, and the music fittingly includes Masakado's roaring and a sound very reminiscent of a city warning siren as the nuclear ICBM is ten turns away from striking Tokyo. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[AC: VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse]] |
| 124 | * The haunting [[https://youtu.be/Ogmzvu_dLDg Main Theme]] that also plays in the Tokyo Collapse animation and as part of the ''SMTIV:A'' 3DS theme. |
| 125 | * [[https://youtu.be/rq-B0KR9F4k The new Tokyo theme]] is a soothing overworld theme that feels like a leisurely walk through the (albeit demon-infested) place. |
| 126 | * [[https://youtu.be/PLUrtHfiJ1o Time of Selection]], the second overworld theme. An epic remix of the main theme that really reflects the increasing tensions as Law and Chaos resume their war. As far as overworld themes are concerned, it's up here with ''Nocturne's'' Last Area. |
| 127 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/tHkN5r4XXH8 The new regular battle theme]] continues ''IV'''s fine tradition of kickass rock themes, as does [[https://youtu.be/ArokYioYuNs the regular boss theme]]. |
| 128 | * [[https://youtu.be/LrzbL-34AfY The Divine Powers battle theme]] stands out from the regular boss theme, reminding you of the nature of the threat you face. The Divine Powers really hit the jackpot when it comes [[https://youtu.be/3ldSpu07tZ0 to strong, intimidating themes.]] |
| 129 | * [[https://youtu.be/n1ato4N5pYI God Killer]], also known by the more spoileriffic title Vishnu, plays twice on Peace and Anarchy: the battles against Vishnuflynn and Satan. |
| 130 | * [[https://youtu.be/UFOaRVMmD-I Foreseeing the Horizon]], the theme of the FinalBoss's first form, features an intense buildup and a godly choir, reminding you of just ''who'' you and your companions are fighting against. |
| 131 | * [[https://youtu.be/3wuCQshyNuk The Final Boss's theme]], referred to as either "Evil Incarnate" or "To Become God's Enemy". It plays for YHVH's demonic second form and is a remix of battle themes from both games. It also plays in the DLC battle against Stephen. |
| 132 | * [[https://youtu.be/qSImMMN5f3Y The Twisted Tokyo theme]] is unnaturally calming for an alternate Tokyo overrun by the Fiends. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | [[AC: VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV]] |
| 135 | * [[https://youtu.be/ohi99qWYngc Battle -Da'at-]], the normal battle theme, is a catchy song that is fitting for fighting demons. |
| 136 | * While the enemies faced in Abscess fights have simplistic movesets, [[https://youtu.be/-V41i9kq5eM the Abscess battle theme]] reminds you not to take them lightly. Also, this is the same theme used throughout the Daily Demon Preview series. |
| 137 | * [[https://youtu.be/yZUbP8vZZrs Battle -Humans, demons, and...-]], used for major bosses, uses the same melody as the normal battle theme but also throws in intimidating instruments to make the battles much more intense. |
| 138 | * The guitar work of [[https://youtu.be/nULL6VlAoAg Battle -Droll-]] makes for an amazing beat that's not out of place in ''Digital Devil Saga''. |
| 139 | * [[https://youtu.be/OjACNTXzxOY Battle -dancing crazy murder-]] starts with a sick electronic beat and adds eerie chanting that befits the deities of the other Bethel branches. |
| 140 | * [[https://youtu.be/NApN0GduuwM Shiva's battle theme]] is a slow, eerie and powerful theme that makes you feel like you're fighting him in a realm between the world's reincarnation cycles. |
| 141 | * Visit the World of Shadows during a Full or New Moon, and you're greeted with [[https://youtu.be/gfIN1EDxfy4 this theme]] that's much more sinister than the usual fare. |
| 142 | * This game's version of [[https://youtu.be/xG4jbpvldw4 the Fiend theme]] is less about the feeling of imminent death, and uses a melody similar to Philemon's fight from ''Persona 2'' to make the duels feel more majestic. |
| 143 | * [[https://youtu.be/0u7Kxd3nIZ Lord of Chaos]] plays when Lucifer shows up in a cutscene. It may be simple, but it reflects his nature as a fallen angel very well, and manages to be soothing and chilling at the same time. |
| 144 | * [[https://youtu.be/XvAifAnai6s The credits theme]] is a beautifully done track, exuding a strong sense of finality as well as a touch of melancholy, the perfect song to mark the end of your long journey. |
| 145 | * [[https://youtu.be/a3sZKc2pgAI Battle -Abdiel-]] takes cues from Music/DreamTheater to stunning effect. It really captures both how desperate Nahobino Abdiel is and how it might almost feel tragic to fight her, given how she's been trying to keep everything together almost the entire game and only falls apart near the end. |

| 175 | [[AC:VideoGame/Persona4Arena]] |
| 176 | * The best way to describe ''Arena''[='=]s music would be [[JustForFun/XMeetsY "lounge music meets rock"]] or basically "''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' meets ''Persona''". Appropriate, considering what would come [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle six years later]]. |
| 177 | * [[https://youtu.be/zX_GmimFUt0 Yu's theme]] and [[https://youtu.be/lL9_dojFJCY Aigis' theme]] are really kickass remixes to "Reach Out to the Truth" and "Heartful Cry", respectively. |
| 178 | * [[https://youtu.be/XBtEDn--LRc Princess Amagi,]] Yukiko's theme kicks all kinds of ass with a combination of Japanese music, violin, and pure freaking [[AutobotsRockOut ROCK]]. The best part is that the theme matches her completely. |
| 179 | * Yosuke's theme, [[https://youtu.be/gQRa-YcefY4 The Junes Hero]] is a little slow, but really good and can even bring back memories of some old classic ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' tune to mind. |
| 180 | * [[https://youtu.be/oHU55w8SBxM Teddie Circus!,]] Teddie's theme. Who knew a jazz theme would fit Teddie so well? |
| 181 | * [[https://youtu.be/-Bqv6ZMWLdA Seeker of Truth,]] Naoto's theme. Those trumpets, that guitar. When it hits that main part it becomes glorious. |
| 182 | * Kanji's theme, [[https://youtu.be/WNE8kmHhNuY A Pure-Hearted Beast]] has a lot of epic electric guitar riffs, sounds like something that would be composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari. |
| 183 | * Newcomer Labrys' theme [[https://youtu.be/YLLNFb61YZQ Spirited Girl]] is simply beautiful. Also her boss and Shadow form themes, [[https://youtu.be/PXyPd3t_tJs The Ultimate]] and [[https://youtu.be/aLzFTQJtvIw Shadows of the Labyrinth.]] |
| 184 | * Mitsuru's theme [[https://youtu.be/utwcIlVaee4 Missions for the Brilliant Executioner]] sounds quite a bit like the rocking theme found in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''. Which is awesome. |
| 185 | * [[https://youtu.be/u0SpO70YYjQ The Wandering Wolf]] a.k.a. Akihiko's Theme. Heavy rock coupled with a melodious violin/piano/guitar line further in with an intro sounding just a little bit like something from Unavoidable Battle. |
| 186 | * The game's opening theme, [[https://youtu.be/i6Qhn8etFm4 "Best Friends"]], and credits theme, [[https://youtu.be/sm66pYd_9ow "Now I Know"]]. |
| 187 | * [[https://youtu.be/wmXsE2uq0ks Blues in the Velvet Room]]. Honestly, fusing Personas while getting a few drinks at a bar is this song put into words. |
| 188 | * ''Ultimax'' brings us Margaret's theme, [[https://youtu.be/-1iN41edczc "The Battle For Everyone's Souls - Ultimax ver."]] Somehow, it's even more epic than the original. |
| 189 | * Also from ''Ultimax'' is [[AxeCrazy Sho]] [[BigBad Minazuki's]] normal theme, [[https://youtu.be/-dshwqUDUOA "The Joker"]]. It's threatening yet playful like Sho himself. |
| 190 | * Also [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Minazuki's]] theme, [[https://youtu.be/7k8Vzrr26w0 "Blood Red Moon"]]. It fits his more serious side and sounds seriously badass. |
| 191 | * [[EnsembleDarkhorse Tohru]] [[MagnificentBastard Adachi's]] [[CharacterSignatureSong new theme]], [[https://youtu.be/Uw4mhtZGudM "A Fool or Clown?"]], is basically Adachi in musical form. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | [[AC:VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth]] |
| 194 | * The opening song, "[[https://youtu.be/_GSuWkZ3kms Road Less Taken]]", is not only a fun and jazzy number with lyrics that match the game's themes, but also a {{Crossover}} in itself with the vocals of [[VideoGame/Persona3 Yumi Kawamura]], [[VideoGame/Persona4 Shihoko Hirata]] and [[VideoGame/Persona5 Lyn Inaizumi]] perfectly harmonizing (plus a [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[AWildRapperAppears rap section]] by Lotus Juice!). |
| 195 | * The game brings out four random battle themes, one for each game's cast ([[AndZoidberg and P3P]]). |
| 196 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/Uxf-m8yB6nQ Invitation to Freedom]]", for the P5 cast, has lyrics of a BadassBoast like "Last Surprise", with a DareToBeBadass in the final chorus. |
| 197 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/RJK_6Wt7MF4 Remember We Got Your Back]]" for the P4 cast retains the home game's theme of ThePowerOfFriendship. |
| 198 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/2wvkzM_J0Fw Wait and See]]" for the P3 cast opens with a catchy bassline. Like "Light the Fire Up in the Night" it intersperses Lotus Juice's rapping with great vocals. |
| 199 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/05hAdkrPqDI Pull the Trigger]]", for the [=P3P=] Heroine, has a catchy tune. With the Heroine's early introduction it also has a little more time to endear itself to the player. |
| 200 | * The FOE theme, "[[https://youtu.be/Uss4sm4-rLc Hunting, Hunted]]", starts with riffs that capture the [[OhCrap danger]] of being ambushed by one. If you dig your heels in and keep fighting, it brings out a great tune to keep you motivated. |
| 201 | * The boss theme, "[[https://youtu.be/H-ND_4G25fM Nothing is Promised]]", is an intimidating piece with tense rapping by Lotus Juice. Since the first time it plays is against the [[WakeUpCallBoss notoriously ferocious]] Kamoshidaman, it befits a very tough battle. |
| 202 | * "[[https://youtu.be/lZrkLcOsnSM Our Strength]]" is an intense rockin' battle theme commonly played for the Sooty Film battles with the Velvet Room attendants. The game classifies this as a "midboss" theme, but the theme channels enough danger to remind you that the Velvet Room attendants, even Theodore, are no pushovers. |
| 203 | * The FinalBoss has two themes for each phase, "[[https://youtu.be/FfyyDbqVC14 The Calm]]" and "[[https://youtu.be/s11bo46rP70 The Tempest]]". The former theme slowly builds up before busting out its full melodies, but keeps its instrumentation restrained. The latter theme, befitting its name, builds off the former into something more triumphant. |
| 204 | * "[[https://youtu.be/8ueTDkmWn2w Colorful World]]", the credits theme, brings together the lead vocals from all three home games for a hopeful song to end the game on a high note. |

| 207 | [[folder:''Devil Summoner'']] |
| 208 | [[AC:VideoGame/DevilSummoner]] |
| 209 | * The iconic [[https://youtu.be/MC8rdaYDfOU Kuzunoha Detective Office]] is somehow both relaxing and incredibly awesome. It's been remixed for both [[https://youtu.be/sRPD5Or7PDQ Persona 2]] ([[https://youtu.be/i7VYIpwRXYw twice!]]) and [[https://youtu.be/Q_kQqQvIsRQ Raidou 2]], both of which are just as great. |
| 210 | * [[https://youtu.be/K-YSijjbN8w Boss Battle]] comes out swinging with one of the catchiest guitar riffs you'll ever hear and doesn't let up until the song's done. Its remix, [[https://youtu.be/giHix2qYFss Hyper Rearranged Boss]], might be even better. |
| 211 | * [[https://youtu.be/gTaX7VWABV8 Otherworld Dungeon (Paradise Mansion)]] accentuates the feeling of storming into a mob hideout, with very dangerous-sounding riffs that none the less make you feel like a badass. |
| 212 | * "[[https://youtu.be/XZkWlFHi1ac Yaraiginza Arcade District]]" combines cheerful sax and trumpet melodies with [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Flea-style]] slap bass. |
| 213 | |
| 214 | [[AC:VideoGame/SoulHackers]] |
| 215 | %%* From the ''Soul Hackers'' remake we get [[https://youtu.be/_EGqO7W8G3c #X]], the opening song. |
| 216 | * The very first dungeon lets you know what you'll be in for with the delightfully sinister, synth-drenched "[[https://youtu.be/4HD3kHT5tqc Algon NS Building (Vision Quest)]]. |
| 217 | * "[[https://youtu.be/ukXF4zFOJs4 Astronomy Museum]]", whose shimmery synth textures make you feel like you're gazing up at the stars. |
| 218 | * "[[https://youtu.be/XKn2FD-zwsk Virtual Art Gallery (Lobby)]]", another sinister, ambient track that's guaranteed to get you worried about the protagonist's kidnapped sister. |
| 219 | * "[[https://youtu.be/kWOHYveSmAw Algon Headquarters]]", the penultimate dungeon theme, feels like you're marching to your doom... [[ThatOneBoss and you kind of are]]. |
| 220 | * "[[https://youtu.be/brGaluYjFEs Nijomon Basement]]", the final dungeon theme, manages to feel laid-back and triumphant at the same time. |
| 221 | * The bizarre "[[https://youtu.be/5okZQKELZrY Sea Ark 11F (Extra Floor)]]", which plays in the postgame dungeon, is way catchier than something this chaotic has any right to be. |
| 222 | * "[[https://youtu.be/SpDiGI3CdNU Human Brain Research]]" combines eerie synths with the cries of captive primates to make you feel like ''[[ParanoiaFuel something's]]'' stalking you through the halls... |
| 223 | * "[[https://youtu.be/tDAEr_U0p00 Somatic Energy Institute]]". Bombastic and playful at the same time, and you'll be hearing a lot of it as you exchange yen and Magnetite. |
| 224 | * [[DubNameChange Redman]] / [[https://youtu.be/mag3AHI-HEY Kinap's]] majestic theme. |
| 225 | * "[[https://youtu.be/L4IyZwZXJrI Common Battle]]" is one of the funkiest battle themes in the series. |
| 226 | * "[[https://youtu.be/gH6Thv00ahU Naomi Battle]]", a driving, jazzy track that was so good, it got remixed as "[[https://youtu.be/6_6oRBOvIw0 Case File Battle]]" in the second Raidou game. |
| 227 | |
| 228 | [[AC:VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy]] |
| 229 | * [[https://youtu.be/_kfjqM7UqbA Battle ~ Raidou]], the random battle theme, has an incredible guitar melody. It even gets reused in ''Soul Hackers'' when you square off against Raidou as an OptionalBoss! |
| 230 | * Both ''Raidou'' games have [[https://youtu.be/LwJmwp8IwRE "Formidable Foe"]]. It is glorious. |
| 231 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/Zm9p7rVR-kE And Now, The Decisive Battle]] |
| 232 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/ZJ1mjALjS6k Shock! The Final Battle]] |
| 233 | |
| 234 | [[AC:VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsKingAbaddon]] |
| 235 | %%* Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon has [[https://youtu.be/N3AgvfrDhEI New Battle]]. |
| 236 | * The boss theme from ''Devil Summoner 2'', [[https://youtu.be/lI8qjMGfdYU Decisive Battle]], is basically everything a boss theme should be. |
| 237 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/mvap8gkDfB8 Fiend Battle.]] |
| 238 | [[/folder]] |
| 239 | |
| 240 | [[folder:''Digital Devil Saga'']] |
| 241 | [[AC:VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga]] |
| 242 | * "[[https://youtu.be/wxFlSc_jwSc Prayer]]", the opening for the Japanese version of ''Digital Devil Saga 1'' and the {{Leitmotif}} of Sera, as well as a RecurringRiff for the entire duology. With its hauntingly divine lyrics and intense accompanying rock, it's sure to put you in the mood for some ''Digital Devil Saga'' action. |
| 243 | * "[[https://youtu.be/y5U93eyig8w Danger]]", the alternative opening, is just as good with its catchy techno jazz that opens up the game just as nicely as "Pray." |
| 244 | * Hell, the [[https://youtu.be/uDb2MxUl31w Hunting]], the normal battle theme from the first game kicks ass. The second game's normal battle theme, [[https://youtu.be/j_yq5VhWnC0 Battle for Survival]], is good enough that players are willing to overlook the high encounter rate. |
| 245 | * When you take the normal battle theme from the first game, add MORE awesome to it, you get [[https://youtu.be/eHo9P0WVohQ "Hunting~Betrayal"]], one of the boss themes of the 2nd game. Its uses are also amazing, from the fight with Meganada, the penultimate boss of the game to the fight with Satan, the ultimate boss of the game and one of the strongest bosses in JRPG history. |
| 246 | * [[https://youtu.be/pLNmHIBf2bs Hunting~Compulsion]] deserves special mention for the guitar alone. |
| 247 | * Two words. [[https://youtu.be/ruASHMbf9-g Big. Battle.]] Who knew that you could turn several simple melodies into one kickass battle theme that makes you feel like a real strategist? It gets an awesome techno reprise towards the end of ''Digital Devil Saga 2'' as [[https://youtu.be/0maXbMBKdIM Enemies Reborn]] to really make the journey come full circle. |
| 248 | * [[https://youtu.be/escLNAMk7FM Spider's String]], the soothing calm before the final dungeon truly gets underway. Once it does begin in earnest, [[https://youtu.be/exRq-RcvVRg The Second Movement]] begins, adding more and more to the song as you ascend. |
| 249 | * The first final boss theme from the first game: [[https://youtu.be/YdZ_2QwqwQQ Hari-Hara]]. The opening light guitar up to 0:21 makes you feel really cool and calm...until the '''really''' strong guitar kicks in, and the part from 1:03 to 1:24. The second final boss theme (of the "we are so fucked" variety) is the imposing [[https://youtu.be/BgAWAf_SWcw Hari-Hara: 2nd Movement]]. |
| 250 | * The airport theme from the 2nd game. [[https://youtu.be/62AV5vzIA5k One-Way Stairs]]. It starts out sounding like a fairly generic techno track, but around 0:30 it kicks into high gear. |
| 251 | * [[https://youtu.be/GGsAgZDVVmM Madness]] from the second game is a chaotic piece that plays whenever your characters enter the battle in [[PartialTransformation Berserk Mode]]. It's a shame that the associated battles are [[RocketTagGameplay very short]]. |
| 252 | * "[[https://youtu.be/7nWl5Rfftz8 Divine Identity]]", the song that plays during ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2''[='=]s final boss battle, has the grandiosity that fits the finality and scale of the game's last enemy. |
| 253 | [[/folder]] |
| 254 | |
| 255 | [[folder:''Devil Survivor'']] |
| 256 | [[AC:VideoGame/DevilSurvivor]] |
| 257 | * [[https://youtu.be/YGUmlenmnas Demon Of Darkness]] plays during the opening and manages SoundtrackDissonance without sounding any less epic. |
| 258 | * [[https://youtu.be/b-9GDsbBsL0 Action]], the oddly calm 80s pop inspired map theme. This plays for large portions of the game's downtime, and somehow manages to stay engaging the whole while thanks to some incredible drum work. |
| 259 | * [[https://youtu.be/yZceekooDGo Pinch Battle]], the stage theme for your BigDamnHeroes moments; you'll feel like a badass every time you hear it. |
| 260 | * Depending on what ending you got, [[https://youtu.be/oHJw7IqqGww Deep Darkness]] will make you feel like either a powerful god or a total jerk. |
| 261 | * And of course the main theme, in both [[https://youtu.be/jfleA3UOBR0 vocal]] and [[https://youtu.be/xeJF3fcj3Hs instrumental]] flavours. |
| 262 | * [[https://youtu.be/phgSTsVJEfU Deep Night]], the map music that plays during a boss fight, manages to sum up the battle in four words using music alone: "Shit just got real." |
| 263 | * [[https://youtu.be/4kPJltIagPM Garuda]], the map music that plays when you fight against the final boss, and the bonus boss. It manages to rock your socks off, and still maintain a majestic feel to it. [[https://youtu.be/p2iKSrQydDY Last Decision]], the final boss theme in most routes, may as well be an extension to this theme with a faster tempo for the skirmishes. |
| 264 | * [[https://youtu.be/-OzTMKdQ9mE Rival Battle]], the wonderfully creepy map music that plays when fighting a formerly friendly character. |
| 265 | * Even the standard battle songs, [[https://youtu.be/MTIxtPsgv4s Battle Beat]] and [[https://youtu.be/oy-2BmuqkFE Aggressive Tune]], are utterly awesome rock pieces. |
| 266 | * [[https://youtu.be/SrSta8jZrg0 Soul Survive]]. The opening theme of [[UpdatedRerelease Overclocked]] is just amazing. |
| 267 | * Overclocked gives us [[https://youtu.be/HLqkMov6GSA Confusion]] as the map theme for the final fight of the 8th Days, with [[https://youtu.be/SvPfYK01j0Y High touch]] being the ''new'' fast-paced final boss theme. |
| 268 | * [[https://youtu.be/GxsVzahb7tE Cool Jam]] is a comically catchy theme that plays for the demon auction. It also serves as a theme tune for Black Frost, one of the sillier playable characters. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | [[AC:VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2]] |
| 271 | * [[https://youtu.be/yDhJHHL1dPA Mugen no Sekai]] can be translated variously as "Infinite World" or "Dream World". The opening theme of the game has a sweet and hopeful vibe to its deadly-sounding title. |
| 272 | * [[https://youtu.be/vW3y5G0WmbI Beyond the Firmament]] is a version of "Mugen no Sekai" but done almost entirely on piano, making for one of the most beautiful and [[TearJerker Tear jerking]] tracks on the OST and a great accompaniment to the credits at the end of each adventure. You've outdone yourself, Kenji Ito. |
| 273 | * The Septentriones' themes, both the obviously-titled field theme [[https://youtu.be/THu-srFS5G0 Septentrion]] and the battle theme [[https://youtu.be/XSmYjFRFdxQ Break Out]]. The field theme shows DissonantSerenity appropriate for when you're readying yourself to attack a incomprehensible enemy, but when you get to the actual battle theme, you realize just how much weight the battle holds. |
| 274 | ** [[https://youtu.be/V5UlvQSexBs Will of the Species]] is a slower and more ethereal-sounding version of the Septentrione theme, played for the second phase of the FinalBoss. Coming off the standard Septentrione theme from the first phase, it demonstrates Polaris's unworldly power as she calmly challenges the vision of the world you wish to create. |
| 275 | ** Speaking of the final battle, here is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyF9URkUb7s Akashic Record]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10yeSy04VHE The World's Administrator]], the field and skirmish themes for Polaris's final phase. The orchestral field theme shows that Polaris is done "testing" the party and willing to fight at her full power, while the skirmish theme pumps you up to kick her ass when you finally get within range. |
| 276 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpQ3sVVdG9Y Desperate Situation]] kicks in when mission circumstances take a turn for the worse, and the frantic theme further descends into SongsInTheKeyOfPanic with a very long guitar solo. |
| 277 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHamYSg6rbU A Gloomy Person]] is the Anguished One's {{Leitmotif}}, and it conveys the fascinating feeling of communicating with someone not from this world. Amidst a week's worth of deadly alien invaders, this shows that the Anguished One isn't hostile, and can be reasoned enough to continue to speak with him as the days go by. |
| 278 | * No matter what ending you take, it feels good and fulfilling when you get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AlIG9E47cU "New Order"]] playing to make you feel like a badass for managing to recreate the world. |
| 279 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ysxjn37JPg Shudder]] makes for a very intense skirmish theme whenever you fight an OptionalBoss. It clearly demonstrates that you're in for a fight far tougher than the standard demon fare. |
| 280 | %%* Even the [[https://youtu.be/QD_bX9xdwkc standard battle music]] is cool. |
| 281 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGmLquttouw Battle Against a Sworn Friend]] plays when you fight against named human enemies, but most importantly on Saturday, after the whole team is split into three factions and you have to fight your former allies. It's more chaotic than the usual fare of battle themes and makes you feel that [[PlayerPunch things shouldn't be this way]]. |
| 282 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6cCqW9Fs5w Battle of the Brave]] is an inspiring track for when the tides turn in your favour or you're performing a BigDamnHeroes moment. |
| 283 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBJ1pj8E808 Challenging Fate]] plays in missions where [[ScrewDestiny you save someone from their fated death]], and while it does sound heroic, the piano keeps things tense to remind the player of what's at stake. |
| 284 | * A stark contrast to the ethereal "Septentrion", the intense OrchestralBombing of the Triangulum's field theme [[https://youtu.be/n9y8wY0Uf9A Threat and Vulnerability]] is a perfect fit for an enemy that seeks nothing less than the utter annihilation of humanity. |
| 285 | * [[https://youtu.be/CEqII28EfpA Providence]] has a bigger feeling of finality as you confront the TopGod behind the Administrator System. |

| 288 | [[folder:''Catherine'']] |
| 289 | [[AC:VideoGame/{{Catherine}}]] |
| 290 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/oHi39Lqy680 The opening theme is awesome.]] |
| 291 | %%* As is [[https://youtu.be/tiYQwWg1KrY It's a Golden Show]]. |
| 292 | * [[https://youtu.be/ZIDo4dLlITc The Boss Chase Music]] is extremely catchy and something to climb to. Which helps since you'll be running away from hands, babies, and everything in between while it plays. The rest of the bosses, except for the TrueFinalBoss, get [[https://youtu.be/YC8SUzy1w2I Woman's Hand]], which is all about cranking up the NightmareFuel, especially during the Shadow of Vincent fight. |
| 293 | * [[https://youtu.be/IbV1awjnNm8 Revolutionary Etude]] is a frantic version of the classical piece by Music/FryderykChopin, and captures how busy the block field gets in the showdown against the FinalBoss. The ascending and descending notes are quite adequate for climbing blocks and falling off them, which is going to happen a ''lot'' in this stage. |
