8	->''Fear's awake, anger beats loud, face reality, never be charity\
9	The enemy you're fighting covers all society'' (Damn right)\
10	''Mommy's not here, gotta fight'' (All night)\
11	''Right here, Shadow, 10 o'clock, direction, seize the moment, they destroy the nation\
12	Your rhyme slow motion, give me motivation\
13	Freaked out now and dead on arrival'' (What?)\
14	''Round up around, spit out, all over, rhyme like a rolling stone, coming a crowd\
15	Watch out, they move, they diss you loud\
16	Guess what, this sound, it bombs whole ground'' (So round up)\
17	''Don't ease your pace, 'cause enemy's brutal, moment of truth, there ain't no truce\
18	You're the only one, one world, one love, but the battle goes on\

22	* [[https://youtu.be/f_Fc3PxsXzE Aria of the Soul]], a remix of the original Velvet Room theme. Dignified and mysterious, perfect for Igor, and so amazing that it's re-used in all ''Persona'' games afterwards. Then...
23	** [[https://youtu.be/hR8HcBxaQsk Battle Hymn of the Soul]], alternatively read as "The Battle for Everyone's Souls." As mysterious, but now elevated to truly awesome as you fight against the Nyx Avatar in an epic boss fight.
24	** Or better yet, combine both this and [[https://youtu.be/9pnf1lPfgoU the Reincarnation version]] for [[https://youtu.be/E_BRvrs3fFQ one hell of an epic boss theme]].
25	* The opening movie sets the tone with [[https://youtu.be/kjV13aPYNhg Burn My Dread]].
26	** A [[https://youtu.be/wmgCGJQGCWQ remix]] of it plays during the real final battle. Then they added more awesomeness in the [[https://youtu.be/PtmHuDQC8I8 Reincarnation Remix]]
27	** Upset that the original version never got a Reincarnation remix? ''Spring of Birth'' more than made up for it by [[https://youtu.be/63O7X2jeWFM remastering the original version.]]
28	** ''Winter of Rebirth'' brings us the absolutely jaw-dropping [[https://youtu.be/SYd1IyuguXU Last Battle (Future Arrange) version.]]
29	* It's fair to say that nothing else in this game's OST will be stuck in your head more than [[https://youtu.be/6jFaoLrLzd4 BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY]]. The rest of "Mass Destruction," the game's main battle theme, is pretty iconic too. [[https://youtu.be/xZizrjvUpLk The version]] from ''FES'' adds even more jazz to the song, including a brief horn solo before the first "BABYBABYBABY..." and additional lyrics. It serves as a follow-up of sorts to the original version.
30	* [[https://youtu.be/1Wi1Y8cmjyM Heartful Cry]] from ''The Answer'' accompanies [[SadBattleMusic three of the most emotionally rending boss fights]] in the game.
31	%%* [[https://youtu.be/EVOK4_vdF9I Master of Tartarus]] is one rockin' miniboss theme.
32	* And for a dark horse favorite, there's [[https://youtu.be/WVVNvhVnP74 Shadow]], the theme as The Magician's attacking the dorm.
33	* ''[[UpdatedRerelease Persona 3 Portable]]'' brings some new songs to the table, from the ''epic'' new opening [[https://youtu.be/wsSizw8LPYE Soul Phrase]] to the Female Protagonist's [[https://youtu.be/7cTS7iSNvUg new battle theme]] and [[https://youtu.be/7zZ3HDCxfZE boss battle.]]
34	* [[https://youtu.be/I-CSZDbKuL4 Memories of You,]] which plays during the ending credits, is a heart-wrenching and emotional piece, with lyrics that speak of the protagonist fighting to save the world and sacrificing his life to do so, and in the end, passing away peacefully with a smile on his face. When this song plays, many a tear is sure to be shed.
35	** It even has a couple of remixes, such as [[https://youtu.be/jiiPjfueZEQ Memories of You - Reincarnation Remix]] and the [[https://youtu.be/if3HGAqFOmo Trinity Soul version]], which are just as awesome.
36	** The song also has a [[https://youtu.be/MOKyf_7J6sA fan translation]], and like the former is still just as awesome.
37	* The UpdatedRerelease of ''Persona 3 FES'', [[https://youtu.be/lGjPut-k-7U in which the music gets much more intense and epic.]]
38	%%* Listen to this [[https://youtu.be/yID7Uc956CE performance]] of "Heartful Cry". In fact, just listen to the whole live concert.
39	%%* [[https://youtu.be/6jFaoLrLzd4 Mass Destruction]], the song when you fight random battles.
40	%%** You know what's even better than that? A [[https://youtu.be/4iP_efhalhA dual-mix version]]
41	%%** This [[https://youtu.be/DYQwbTDj-to version]], which plays during random battles of ''The Answer''.
42	%%** ''Midsummer Knight's Dream'' features a [[https://youtu.be/r8uQAe0_Y3c remix]].
43	* [[https://youtu.be/o31k0HlQBq0 My Testimony]], from ''Winter of Rebirth'', is an emotional piece that truly emphasizes resolving the will to live.
44	* [[https://youtu.be/9BUh4zWQ9fs Unavoidable Battle]], especially with a fight against a certain Bonus boss. And here is [[https://youtu.be/JJeeAzWU9mQ the Reincarnation remix]].
45	* Once you get to the last month of the game, the themes for the locations around the city get changed. And the city theme, [[https://youtu.be/7aJ6v40BZCQ Memories of the City]] is the best one of them all. The more somber-sounding theme really fits the darker look of the city, as well as the sheer weight of what the characters are preparing to do.
46	* [[https://youtu.be/oYuzXkDRRXE Living with Determination]] often plays during sad moments and when someone reaches the resolution they need to evolve their Persona. A [[https://youtu.be/5BcYDO3cc2s remix]] plays after New Year's Eve in the dorm. It pumps the player up to prepare for the arrival of Nyx.
47	* [[https://youtu.be/idRhQsjc28c Master of Shadow]], the theme of the Moon Shadow bosses. Otherworldly ''awesome''.
48	* [[https://youtu.be/sc919Y0WD_8 Deep Breath Deep Breath]], the song only plays during when you're on the train going to fight the first shadow. But it's still ''awesome''.
49	** It also plays during Operation Babe Hunt!
50	** Now [[https://youtu.be/KkZWlQLhK0M remixed for the second movie.]]
51	* [[https://youtu.be/wCnkw54H4m0 Darkness]], the theme for the final boss fight of [[PlayableEpilogue The Answer]]. Sounds a bit like "Divine Identity" (see the ''Digital Devil Saga'' section), and evokes the same feeling: ''"Let's go kick ass!"''
52	* [[https://youtu.be/An_XpXXnxnQ Snow Queen]], a truly ''awesome'' remix of the ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona1}} Megami Ibunroku Persona]]'' song of the same name.
53	* [[https://youtu.be/HmTLEeM8A4Y Brand New Days -The Beginning-]], which is the main screen theme. It also is the theme of choice for one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the game. A [[https://youtu.be/LfZqB84w9OE vocalized remix]] plays during the credits to The Answer.
54	* School would be much more popular if they piped the upbeat and catchy [[https://youtu.be/BdLt-oydrxE Want to be Close]] into the halls. Oddly, take away the percussion and piano and you've got the appropriately titled [[https://youtu.be/-f-dFZRmiFs Tranquility]].
55	* [[https://youtu.be/_8gT61NVLDk Mistic]] (sic), which is the basis for the themes of the different Tartarus floors and plays during one of the tensest moments in the game (when the player decides whether or not to kill Ryoji). It's based around a deep relaxing piano and string melody, but avoids SoundtrackDissonance.
56	* [[https://youtu.be/VpNhxUIMXug When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars]], an incredibly catchy and upbeat town theme. To contrast with this song's fast-paced, almost techno feel, ''Persona 3 Portable'' adds the equally catchy and upbeat [[https://youtu.be/800PLmKprqc Way of Life]] for the female protagonist.
57	* [[https://youtu.be/zXX94yJgTz4 Sun]], one of the new overworld themes added for the female protagonist in ''Portable''. Whether you think it's SoBadItsGood or just plain awesome, one thing's for sure: it'll never get out of your head.
58	* The ''Spring of Birth'' movie brings us [[https://youtu.be/L1cHouf3lg4 "More Than One Heart"]]. Appropriate to the movie's title, the song makes you feel like you're out in the middle of a spring day, basking in the sunlight.
59	* [[https://youtu.be/-rUuMPQ97_M Fate is in Our Hands]], the theme for the second movie, ''Midsummer Knight's Dream''. Lotus Juice's flow is absolutely jaw-dropping, especially the section from around 3:20 to 3:50.
60	%%* [[https://youtu.be/mYRRUhpRyC4 Light in Starless Sky]], the theme for the third movie, ''Falling Down''.
61	* [[https://youtu.be/fqTmDX6B3OI Self Redemption]], which plays when SEES receives a HeroicSecondWind during the lead up to the final battle in ''Winter of Rebirth''.
62	* [[https://youtu.be/-iy47Q--EbU Wiping All Out]], the ''Persona 3 Portable'' female MC's battle theme, isn't as iconic as "Mass Destruction", but it's still fantastic.
63	* ''Reload'' adds a new battle theme for surprise attacks, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVUqPzd9T_s It’s Going Down Now]]. The chorus is incredibly catchy (“DISTURBING THE PEAAACE” especially) and has a habit of syncing up perfectly with All Out Attacks. It’s also one of the few times Lotus Juice actually sings instead of rapping, and it sounds damn good.
