Holy shit this slaps!!! Shoji Meguro was such a fucking beast in the late 2000s gaming world. Don't get me wrong his soundtracks are still amazing but that 2006-2009 sweetspot of the shit he composed was just masterful.
@@friend4596 The guy has many styles, he still has music in the same vein as this. He hasnt really changed his style, he just learned more styles for different games. His recent worsk have music reminiscent of his older works.
Fun fact : This game released not long after persona 4. Just finished playing persona 4 at that time i immediately bought this game and hell yeah the ost is so divine
Because people don't like the action RPG style... it feels weird afterall & also hard to get used with the style ( SA being a really bad game it's slow & the story is meh... while King Abaddon become a masterpiece thankfully ), I feel sad that Raidou himself so popular but his game not appreciate a lot
@@Lemonberrysnot to mention SA gameplay were pretty bad and boring Only having a collection of demons couldnt save the boredom and the huge encounter rate
@@Onigumo. and the fact you can only use 1 demon at battle that so fcking annoying. The weird af camera angle in battle and most of the boss battle kinda BS. I dont remember if this right, you can also only able to fuse demon with loyalty. The first game is indeed a BIG mess
@@nr2676 I highly doubt it considering raidou's character references Japan's outfits around the mid-1900s, a period in which China really disliked Japan. Due to it reminiscing these bad memories, Raidou was left out of Nocturne remake. This makes it way less likely for him to get another game, let alone a remake. It's really sad bc these games were great.
I love how this theme kinda has a somewhat cheesy almost anime-like feel. With 0:39 kinda sounding like the moment the villain has the hero on the ropes. And 0:48 sounding like the moment where the hero has some sort of motivational flashback that gives him the edge to push on. Or even some of Raidou's demons giving him motivational words, whether it is something like Orthrus going "MASTER CAN DO IT!!!" Or Moh Shuvuu straight up yelling in a very high-pitched voice "Akiramenaide!/Dont Give Up! JOUHEI!!!" (Jouhei being Raidou's real name.)
This is ma afavorite boss battle music in games, yea we got Bravely default last boss battle, ff6 last boss battle, sephirot, and a lot of top tier themes, but this just hit me in the headbanging heart
P3P was my first game from the SMT Series. And I have to say, I'd have much preferred this theme for the Tartarus Bosses than what we actually got. P3 does have some great tracks, but damn do these older games have some good stuff going on. Both Raidou Kuzunoha vs. and the Digital Devil Saga games have a number of amazing tracks I wish we could just swap in. I wonder if P5 might do something like that?
Aw man, I love Master of Tartarus. It's a great contrast to Master of Shadow. I think this theme works for the time that Meguro was composing for, and could be seen in Persona 4 as an alternate "I'll Face Myself", which fits for the story of King Abaddon.
This man can defeat all Persona Protagonists. They only have fake weapons and swords, and are new to the whole Persona. MEANWHILE, Raidou has been training all his life. He works in an Quasi-Government Organization {Ultranationalist Yatagarasu Organisation}. Which is filled with Devil Summoners from all four clans, not just Devil summoners! Onmyoji magic users. Such as Seimei Abe. These people are professional devil killers and God killers too. If Ren from Persona 5 ever encountered these folks, especially Raidou. He would not stand a chance. Ren and the other Persona protagonists can only summon one Persona at a time. Meanwhile, Raidou can summon multiple in battle. Even if Ren and his friends escape. It is only a matter of time, before the Government {AKA Yatagarasu} finds them and forces them to work with the Government or just silence them because they may know too much of the top secret organisation. TLDR: Raidou is the most powerful protagonist ever made by Atlus
@@ThusSpokeBushmasterZer0. Yes, although. Aleph lacks the power to cast magic-based techniques. Raidou worked with Seimei Abe, who was a professional Onmyouji. He used magic and such. A group of them went toe to toe with Devil Summoners due to how powerful they are.
Alpha Johne yeah, but it’s got awful cutscene desync and gameplay slowdown. Better to just emulate tbh. It’s like atlus doesn’t want us to play these fantastic games
@@alphajohne3676 Are we talking about the Playstation Store here? Because searching "Kuzunoha" or "Devil Summoner" there only nets me the DLC costume packs for Persona 5. There's no SMTIII either, or Persona 4. Might be a case similar to Netflix, where different countries have different stuff depending on bought permissions.
