Who has the better takes?

“Yuckari” is something I didn’t know I needed to hear up until now. I don’t care how good or bad his takes are. Junpei wins for that one.

Bruh the reharmonization of Tokyo Daylight into Ark is brilliant and you cannot deny that. Plus P5R vastly improved Mementos’s soundtrack.

Yukari taking heavy Ls in this vid but Junpei got goated taste

Man.... SCHOOL DAYS GOES SO HARD!

I genuinely thought people were joking about not liking shadow world Also im surprised you didnt bring up Heaven during p4s section Anyways Junpei's opinions were based

im always a bit hesitant to watch in-character skits because of the ever-present risk of badly written ooc or unlikable character interpretations, but this is amazing. like bro you can barely define this as a meme, its just that good. this is just straight up a hilariously written persona soundtrack review, featuring junpei and yukari's vicious (and painfully real) debating.

Yukari would be the type to do such things.

Bro I think this is your best video so far. It's funny as hell and you capture the 2 sides of the fanbase when arguing about, well, anything about Persona in general. The Persona1-2 old good new bad circlejerk, the P4 cult, P3 loonies, P5 fanbase that has only played P5, P4-P5 new good old bad discords, etc. You got them all here dude. Honestly I can't side with any of them since I'm always out there to roast or defend my favorite Persona game but when it comes to the music I'm very tolerant and I kinda like all of them some more than others but not the point I feel like straight up saying there's a bad OST out there. Really good stuff man!

Junpei really said "That's sicker than a St. Judes Hospital!" LMFAO 💀💀 Edit: 3:07 btw

Persona 5 has the most unique soundtrack but Persona 2: Innocent sins' Boss battle music slaps so hard. The Persona series all have great tracks in there own rights tbh.

Junpei is based, Yukari is a redditor.

Shadow World FUCKING SLAPS THO

I think you mean "The average Persona fan hasn't even played a persona game."

Yukari and Junpei both make some good points and it's interesting to see how different people view these soundtracks but Junpei talking about how people sleep on p5s instrumental tracks and then not talking about willpower at all is a sin I can not forgive. It's iconic and makes the already awesome awakening scenes so much cooler.

That was a joy to watch.

I have a hot take: I like the FEMC soundtrack

Awesome job you guys did using AI; love it!!!

That predator is a better girl than you Yukari

Now how about we get them to rate which one has the best story and characters? I know the presidents technically already did that but it would be funny to hear Yukari and Junpei's voices talk on it. Personally it's P3 for me story wise just because it felt like the ultimate middle ground of the 2 personas before and the 2 that came after. Mystery elements of P4, selfish adults elements of P5 as well as the ultimate reveal of being played, and the incomprehensible but godly beings of P1 and P2 who don't have this tired "humans can't think or make good decisions for themselves so we will do it because it's for the greater good" goal. They just wanna come in and f*** shit up. Character wise though it's P4's cast hands down. None of the games before or after have those genuine moment of friendship and let's be honest does anything trump the reenactment of the birth of Venus in P4G?

I lowkey now wanna see Yukari read hate comments that she get here 💀

This is one of my favourite videos 😃 I’ve watched this video several times. It’s so entertaining to listen to the music and Yukari and Junpei discuss 😆

This is the single best satirical work in KZfaq history. Hello in this video essay I will be

That P4 take was questionable.

Im watching this while playing p3 reload and as soon as yukari said that the demons move i missed when she attacked 😂😂😂😂😂😂

8:02 I'd change Mitsuru for Fuuka in that line, from my personal experience I have yet to meet a Mitsuru fan that either is annoying and/or hates Yukari.

The best song in persona 4 is, with no question, Heaven.

Let Junpei cook!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

the persona 2 games bombed because people didnt like how they played story is nice but ......... its still a videoGAME GAME look how persona 4 story isnt THAT crazy and look how well it sold, it left p3 in the dust for years

In my opinion, P5 can be the best sharing the chair with P3 because the soundtrack makes perfects symbiosis, and yeah, people over rates the battle themes and beneath the mask, but the P5 Instrumentals break and bench press the best songs of the other games, songs like ARK, The Final Layer of Mementos, The Overworld Themes like "So Happy World" and "The Thieves Den/No More What If's" give the most true and human experience you can get on chill, like, P3 can get true in terms of ambientation over the outside of your head, but P5 goes to the inside, or maybe the inverse, IDK

I miss Vic. He was blame for something he didn’t do.

Yukari is so based. Such trad wife material.

Nahh..i cant believe junpei said that abaout the tartarus tracks. Shits slaps.

When the p3 battle theme went on. My brain went on thinking what skill to use.

They did not slander my girl Kotone. Especialle since Soul Freeze (Only on her route) is one of the best persona songs there is

Goatkari once again (Also P4 is S+)

I dont really tier soundtracks..I enjoy all of the soundtracks though. each game has their own complex themes and energies, and I believe the music for each goes well for the vast majority of them. Keeps things interesting in a sense. Now persona 4...its very clear what they were going for, and I dont hate it for it, but i will say i enjoy the other games a BIT more lol.

Nobody gonna talk about that YUK-ari comment from junpei? lol

Knights of the holy theme feels like a bleach ost

Persona 5 ost is perfect lounge music. Mood/10

I just want to say that yuka so noticed the favoritism, persona 3 p for me has a good intro, and 4 golden a good fight theme

NAH P4 IS S TIER fukcing banger of a ost

Junpei based

can yukari and junpei rate melty blood songs next

Most respetous Innocent sin: Online player

I have played only persona 3 and 4 vanilla. I prefer P3. If we're talking soundtracks, I think P3 is both the most "persona- like" and most iconic for the most part. I like P4's, but , just like in the vid, it doesn't really fit the "mistery vibe" of the game (that it should have). With P5's, haven't played it, but I do notice that most of the popular/most loved soundtracks are the vocal themes (like last surprise and time will change).

So yall gonna ignore corridor in p4g 😢

Its a really unpopular opinion and its an L. But I'm siding with Junpei on P5's instrumental tracks are better than the vocal ones.

In terms of late-game boss music Persona 4 absolutely smacks

4:38 you people better play the knights of the holy lance

Hmm.. I'm not entirely sure how I'd rank them, but I guess these are my overall views at the moment: P1 (PSX) Atmosphere & Mood: S Composition (music theory and technical side of things): B Overall Song Quality (do the songs sound good): A Program Music-ness (how well the music fits context): S Overall thoughts: An atmospheric soundtrack that dances on the threshold of leaning into surreality and determined supernatural 90's action. Final boss theme is so dull, and the normal battle theme only has mood going on. P1 PSP Atmosphere & Mood: D Composition: B Overall Song Quality: B+ Program Music-ness: F Overall thoughts: J-Pop soundtrack with a much better final boss theme, but the new boss theme is a downgrade from the original. New battle theme borders on annoying, while the original one was forgettable outside of being a good mood piece. P2 (PSX/PSP) Atmosphere & Mood: A Composition: B+ Overall Song Quality: A Program Music-ness: A Overall thoughts: Hard hitting battle themes, numerous good area themes and an overall consistent 90's supernatural action tone. Just wish the major boss theme also had a melody instead of just being accompaniment. P3 Atmosphere & Mood: A Composition: B+ Overall Song Quality: A Program Music-ness: B+ Overall thoughts: The best final boss theme in the whole series, which is no surprise seeing as it is an electronic rock remix of Aria of the Soul. Shadow boss theme is dull, major boss theme is neat but doesn't sound like a big boss theme. The map theme changing two times was fantastic, especially when the final month theme kicks in for the first time. Oh yeah, The Answer has Heartful Cry which is nice and the P3P has... I think it had a neat new boss theme. P4 Atmosphere & Mood: C+ Composition: A Overall Song Quality: A Program Music-ness: B Overall thoughts: Best normal boss theme in the series so far. Almighty is also one of the best boss themes, but it's weird we barely get to hear the other boss themes in the game. The final boss theme is especially a long boring build up towards a very basic reprise of a leitmotif. Area themes are also quite meh until Heaven.. and then it goes back to meh. P5R Atmosphere & Mood: B+ Composition: S Overall Song Quality: A Program Music-ness: A Overall thoughts: Fantastic acid jazz that Meguro has teased us with over the years. It's like he was preparing to go all out with it just for this game. So many excellent area, cutscene and scenario themes, while boss themes are kinda just alright overall. Rivers in the Desert does feel properly built up, but then the final boss theme comes and sounds oddly basic. Cool start, then just basic action drama that builds up to.. three notes for climax. P5R's new final boss theme is much better.

Why does the dancing kinda sync at the end 😭

Yeah Freedom and Security is so underrated. The whole of 12/24 is underrated in p5

4:56 oh this one is good. I haven't played P2, could i get the name please?

Yeah I'm somewhere between them both. P5 had awesome songs across the board, P4 I adored the music vibe, but personally it's the game of the series I don't want to play. P3 rides equal to P5. Just getting into P2 myself and it's really growing on me so fast I love it. And then there's 1. They're both kinda right on both fronts. I don't love or hate it, but it really works. Okay I guess I just like Persona music as a whole. It's rare you'll find Sega's sound teams lacking, especially Atlus's.

When 6:06 came I instantly bang my head

Persona 5 👍 Also Strikers is S+

Gotta agree with Yukari on this 🤭🤞

Junpei and I have the same taste in persona tracks, but I do like the p4 ost more than a B!

Yuckary thinking number of sells always matter is a L take if i have ever seen one

If you were to ask me what my favorite 2 songs from every mainline Persona game was, they'd be the following: Persona 1 (Revelations and PSP) 1. School Days 2. Dream of Butterfly Persona 2 Duology (PSP) 1. Unbreakable Tie 2. Kasugayama High School Theme Persona 3 (Vanilla, FES, Portable and Reload) 1. Brand New Days 2. Mass Destruction Persona 4 (Vanilla and Golden) 1. Long Way (Adachi's Dungeon theme) 2. Reach Out To The Truth Persona 5 (Vanilla and Royal) 1. Beneath the Mask 2. Ark (Shido's Palace Theme)

I dont know man, persona 5 S tear? I dont know bout that. Gotta lot of sounds i cant get down to, but other than that, really good songs. A might be the only answer, honestly... feels unfair to rate it more or less.

I agree with Yukari on P4. The overall quality is there, but the vocals often make it just a little grating to me. Composition wise it’s solid as hell, just not my style and I know it was many young weebs first Persona.

I prefer the yukari taste, but l agree with stupei, the vocals carry this franchise songs.

P4 OST slander is crazy...

Tbh, Persona 2 got nerfed hard because the encounter rate and Atlus cant see it only needs that fix

brain worms for giving guys bjobs in the bathroom at school,?. so that's why you never see yukari that much. explains why she disappears at the dorm too.

From P3 FES I only liked the Final Boss theme

I love the way people seem to think they are cool and edgy liking the older games music better than the Meguro led stuff. Well I guess some people like Meet the Beatles better than Abby Road.😂😂😂

I think the one I agree with the most is Yukari, since we share most of the Rankings, only difference being that I have P1 PSP on B and P4 on A. My overall Ranking: P1 PSX - C P1 PSP - B P2 - B P3 - S P4 - A P5 - A

Lol, I think Mass Destruction is just ok. It's incredibly catchy, but has no substance. We need a non-3 character here.

I'm goin' to set the world on fire with this take (by game release order) Persona (PS1/PSX) Rank S Persona 2 Innocent Sin (PS1) Rank A Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (PS1) Rank S Persona 3 FES (PS2) Rank F Persona (PSP) Rank D Persona 2 Innocent Sin (PSP) Rank B Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (PSP) Rank C Persona 4 Golden (PS4/XBX/NS/PSV/PC) Rank C Persona 5 Royal (PS4/XBX/NS/PC) Rank D

I'll be honest, I have to side with Yukari

Junpei and Yukari are wrong They should put P4G OST On A Bc of the I'll face myself battle That just hits H A R D but overall they are just wrong

Persona: C Persona Revelationa: B Persona 2: C Persona 3: A Persona 4: S Persona 5: S My personal opinion based off my tastes.

Базовая Юкари

since i saw others do it, *IMO* out of 10 *P1 PSX/PSP: 8/7.5* -- while I do think overall PSP is lesser, the few good tracks shine way brighter than the best of psx soundtrack so they are close, my favorites are PSX Hypno Tower, PSP SEBEC and Mikage Police Station *P2 IS/EP: 9.5 IS/10 EP* -- P2 is admittedly the closest to perfect when it comes to OST with EP having the slight edge, IS's op Unbreakable Tie is easily a top 2 opening track, that and EP Club Zodiac are my favorites *P3F: 8.5* -- some tracks are some are okay, and some tracks go hard, undoubtedly the best final boss track aside from a couple other modern tracks, my favs are Master of Tartarus and Changing Seasons *P4G: 9.5* -- saw someone here say the mood was the weakest aspect. I disagree and say that's more of a fault on the game's theming and plot end, P4's soundtrack reflects the mood the rest of the game intends perfectly. Would be up there with EP but the P4 battle track isn't the best and P4G's is annoying after a while. The favs are the Pursuing My True Self, Snowflakes and Heaven. *P5R: 9* -- obviously the most overplayed, but the consistency is the best here as in there's not really a track I could dislike, tho I will say the royal battle track is a very big step down. However, a lot of tracks that come up with Maruki's arc are easily some of the best out of the modern series. Favs are Sweatshop, Jaldabaoth, and Throw Away Your Mask as a bonus, call it recency bias but the P3R battle theme hasn't even come out in full original quality and I find it far better than any other game's battle tracks in the series. Even if the quality isn't good for it right now I can still proudly say I've been listening on loop lol

Hot take. I like psp Persona 1's soundtrack WAY more then the og.

Nah, both Junpei and Bitchkari have L takes. The Tartarus themes are FIRE, and the P5 ost is super memorable even without Lyn. It has the most unique Persona soundtracks.

Nah persona 4 soundtrack goes with the game

This is some of the funniest shits I've seen in my life! Also: Junpei is the best, Yukari is literal dogshit

WHY DOES JUNPEI SOUND LIKE TRUMP SOMETIMES?? LIKE HERE, WTH 2:21

persona 3 reload ost on top

L take, P4 is at least A tier

Persona 4 has the best soundtrack in the entire sheen megoomy tensay series.

Average Yukari W + it’s so funny seeing junpei clown on yukari when he was and or/is the most annoying characters😭 ESPECIALLY Pre-chidori

Junpei and yukari have horrible takes
