Persona 4 OST - Heaven [Extended] 

The real reason Nanako lived was because if she did die Yu would break the fourth wall and murder Atlus

*Normal Dungeon:* We have to be careful and take this slowly. Shadows are really dangerous and we could nearly die if we aren't careful *Heaven:* The Only Thing They Fear is Yu

"a little girl, telling herself she's not alone so she doesn't fall apart..." Kanji Tatsumi

*another character is in the TV* Great, another one who is it- *It's nanako* *Immediately heads in*

*nanako is in danger* Yu narukami: *my name is **-Barry Allen-** Yu narukami and I am the fastest man alive*

The only thing that would've made this dungeon better is if they would've made it so this song played uninterrupted during traversal and battle.

The song sounds a lot better without being interrupted by "NOW I FACE OUT I HOLD OUT" every fucking 10 seconds

"nanako has been kidn-" *Immediately jumps into a tv*

Early game me: Nanako’s kind of annoying... all she cares about is Junes Me when Nanako gets kidnapped: *_we ride at dawn_*

*DO NOT LOOK AT THESE COMMENTS UNLESS YOU HAVE BEATEN PERSONA 4, YOU WILL GET SPOILED AS FUCK*

Theme of big bro Yu charging through Heaven in one day, tearing apart shadows like he’s Doomslayer, all to save Nanako-Chan.

Heaven plays Looks at lvl 99 Izanagi, Alice, and Kaguya Gimme 10 mins nanako

Ugh I swear to christ, when Nanako got thrown into the TV I freaking jumped into that dungeon underleveled to rescue her as if I had a personal stake in it. It was hard, but I managed a first day rescue, the one and only time I bothered to.

Unlike the others, Nanako's tv world is a child like view of heaven or what she thinks heaven looks like so that she could see her mother again. She's so pure that she doesn't even have her own shadow.

*other people gets trapped in TV Yu: *soft jazz plays *nanako gets trapped in TV Yu:*Doom Eternal ost plays

This music is so good. Shame that most people don't hear it because of shadows.

"We need to save her, now!" "I think it's better for us to wait until the morning. It's too late at night for.." *Yu proceeds to toss the team into the Tv, including Dojima so he won't be alone*

everyone else: *gets kidnapped* Yu: "lets take this slow and tactical, we should save them, but do so in a way that wont jepordize our own position, if we were to fall then the truth about the killer would be lost, and they could continue on unimpeded, so for the sake of the investigation, we mustnt rush into things" Nanako: *gets kidnapped* yu, loading shotgun with malicious intent, and actively pushing through the entire investigation team trying to keep him from jumping into the Van TV: "i just wanna talk to him"

Last summer I let my best friend Tommy borrow my PSTV and P4G, he had never played Persona before and I thought he would enjoy it. Early in the story he made a joke about Nanako falling into the TV and thinking it was Heaven. He lost his mind when he made it to this dungeon.

Me: I don't think that Nanako's kidnapping could get any sadder. *heaven starts playing* Me: I'm a grown ass man don't cry, don't cry, don't cry- Kanji: "a little girl, telling herself she's not alone so she doesn't fall apart..." *proceeds to sob into my keyboard*

The events leading to Nanako's capture are so intense. Dojima finding out your involvement, keeping Yu away from the fight, Naoto running through the rain to try and prevent her kidnapping with no means of telling Yu, Dojima realizing he's the reason she became vulnerable and was taken and nearly dying trying to save her...it's all top-tier stuff.

This was the first dungeon I completed in a single day.

>Hear this song >Big Bro Instincts (TM) Activate! >Rescues Nana-Chan in one go

Don't lie. You cleared Nanako's dungeon in one day after it became available. You didn't wait until last days to clear it, like with others.

so innocent even the shadows didn't attacked her

**Puts on Dojima Costume** Don't worry old man, I'll fill in for ya.

"Finding ways through the favorite tune Played all day with my eyes closed" My god it's means the Junes theme

The heaven area was just amazingly symbolic of Nanako. One of my most hard-hitting moments is the discussion about life and death with Nanako as you explain to her about heaven and she exclaims that she'll see her mother there. Maybe that's just one of the brilliant reasons why Persona has such a big impact on it's players. Hits ya right in the feels ;-;

"Can't get my mind out of those memories...-Random Battle! I face out, I reach out! Win! - Can't get my mind out of those memories...-Random Battle! I face out, I reach out! Win! - Can't get my mind out of those memories...-Random Battle! I face out, I reach out! Win! - Can't get my mind out of those memories..." I haven't played P4 in years and I STILL recall this playing when I went through this place. Urgh, I hated it.

Times people spend heavy SP recovery items and Somas: -Elizabeth -Margeret -Final Bosses -Fiends -Nanako gets kidnapped

So who else rescued Nanako on the first day this dungeon became available? EDIT: Damn, didn’t expect my most-liked comment to be here of all places. Massive respect to all y’all who blitzed through the dungeon to rescue best imouto.

Persona 4 is the only video game to make me cry in like 8 years. AND BOY DID I CRY

now i can save nanako again in HD 60fps

Nanako I'll save you, after a few neverending loops of this song...

-No, not Nanako goddamit ! *Saves her at first day*

It really breaks your heart when you realize that this song is about Nanako distracting herself from her loneliness through the Junes theme song. "Finding way through the favorite tune played all day with my eyes closed/filling me with those sounds."

Something about this music kinda makes you wanna try your hardest. And it should because it's fucking Nanako in there, go save her!!

*Spoilers* Nanako is the killer

Oh yup. I’m ready for the PC gamers to experience this masterpiece

I was so angry at Namatame that I totally forgot to grind on this dungeon,and I remembered to grind when I reached the end of the dungeon,I was like "....how the hell did I get here without being killed once?"

I don't know why, but for some reason, I felt like an older version of Nanako was singing this song. I don't know why, but I just always imagined a 20 year old Nanako singing this as I climbed Heaven to save her.

Seriously this part of the game destroyed me in so many ways: -Nanako gets kidnapped by some weird dude -Dojima get into a car accident -After rushing the heaven dungeon in 1 day (Don't judge me we all rushed it fr) and bringing nanako back she is in pretty bad shape -Nanako dies(Yeah I wasn't ready for that part Seriously), everyone is yelling at each other, brosuke practically wants to kill Namatame, and here you are in the middle of all of this trying to keep your shit together and act as a leader. -Learning that Namatame wasn't the real culprit, in fact it was our good old adachi who turned out to be a yoshikage kira maniac like. -Add to all of this that everything was the fault of a godess who happened to like Adachi's face and chose to give him a persona before getting dunked on by yu in the most epic way possible DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!

I'll save you Nanako.....right after I grind for a bit and do a few social links. Oh and I need to fish

Can't get my mind out of those memories Now time to tell them "don't take my dream" Still music keeps on turning me from the words that hurt my soul Removing doubts from my mind Those long days passing by from that door Like late summer they slowly fade away Finding ways through the favorite tune Played all day with my eyes closed Those long days passing by from that door Like late summer they slowly fade away Finding ways through the favorite tune Filling me with those sounds

When you get home from the Dungeon and you dont get a welcome back from Nanako it just hits you hard

"Can't get my mind out of those memories... Now time to tell them don't take my dream" Nanako-chan ;_____;

When your Big Bro Instincts kick in and you finished Heaven Dungeon in one Go

Namatame: *Kidnaps Nanako* The whole fanbase: **so you've chosen death**

SPOILERS I hate this song so much but not in a bad way. All the events leading up to and beyond this point. 1)Dojima who you always felt was on your side throwing you in jail for the night, albeit for a valid reason. 2.The realization that Nanako, the character who became a really close little sister to you and a really lovable character throughout your journey, was going to be the next victim. 3. Suddenly Dojima gets in a car crash and now he's in the hospital. 4. The panic as everybody tries to save Nanako before realizing that she already got thrown in. 5. Knowing that every dungeon up to this points entrance was called "Castle Courtyard, Sauna Entrance" generic names based around what the dungeon was, and then seeing the name of Nanako's "The Pearly Gates" and seeing that it's based on Nanakos child like view on what heaven would be like. 6. The fit of panic to save her before things are too late, this is the only dungeon that I rushed to finish as opposed to taking my time and spreading it out for a few days. 7. The boss of the dungeon literally having an attack that forces your team and friends to fight one another. 8. Nanako being rushed to the hospital and seeing her all hooked up to the machines. 9. The slight lull and feelings of joy before Nanako suddenly dies. And everybody breaking down after she does die. 10. The mad rush to avenge her and kill Nametame and the large fight that basically splits your friends into two groups, along with your panic to talk them out of killing him. 11. Teddie's disappearence. 12. The realization that Adachi is the true culprit and that the goofball who was a loveable character throughout the entire game is suddenly a Masochistic Sociopath. Basically this whole section is a huge sucker punch to the gut. Whenever you think things calmed down, you basically get bitch slapped and you don't even know who you can trust anymore. And that's the beauty of it, this song is amazing and it fits the situation perfectly, better than any other song in the series in my mind, and Battle for Everyones Souls was an incredibly fitting and good final battle theme. But this song is even more fitting, and that's why I hate and love it. It hits you hard, you're in this hectic section of the game that just throws constant curveballs at you, and all you hear as your rushing to save your little sister, is this.

*Charges though heaven slicing shadows as I run while Teddie screams NANA-CHAAAAAAAN*

Hands down the best dungeon soundtrack in Persona 4

This is by far the part in the game where everything begins to hit the fan. And the feelings you get when Nanako is kidnapped... It's just totally unexpected. You do your best to protect and save people, just to have your closest loved ones get caught in the cross-fire. Persona 3 may be the more depressing of the entries, but it really bothers me when people say Persona 4 is all happy go lucky. If you think about it, it's just as depressing, if not worse at some points.

she had such a beautiful dungeon....

i love how everything in the dungeon was designed after nanako's innocent views. everything looks like heaven, you climb upwards as if its a fairy tale. even most shadows in the dungeon have a fantasy design AND have a darkness weakness

I'm coming for you Nanako!!!! (me wearing the dojima outfit running through the dungeon)

As someone who never had a sibling, Nanako being kidnapped punched me into big bro overdrive. I finally knew what it felt like to have younger sibling and nobody was going to stop me. Not even the damned Reaper.

Game: ok so Nanako is the next victim kidnapped Me: ^puts on crusader armor, pumps shotgun^ *UNACCEPTABLE!!*

I wish they would've just continued this song through the shadow battles (kind of like in FFX where they continued the area battle song Someday the Dream Will End during the battles in that particular portion of the game). I kept avoiding shadows just so I could listen to the song!

Any other dungeon: I need to conserve my SP more, so I'll spread this one out over a few days Heaven: *SP DOESN'T MATTER, I'M DOING THIS IN ONE DAY*

“ persona 4 wasn’t sad “ Nanakos dungeon would like to have a word with you

You know, because of how much I hate kids, I was going into this game honestly expecting to dislike Nanako, but instead.. She is in my 5 favorite characters for the game. To motivate this, This was the only dungeon I didn't do on the very last day, well, besides the "culprit".

Who else was lonely af without Nanako saying "Welcome home, Onii chan"

*-FIGHT THE FEELS-* *-TRY NOT TO CRY-* *-TRY SUPER GODDAMNED HARD NOT TO CRY-* Cry a lot! *runs off crying*

I like shopping at Junes and everything, but their shit is only affordable when they have specials. I hate how expensive their stuff is regular price. Especially electronics.... fml, I just hit up Amazon whenever Junes is too costly.

Anime Yu is everyone during this dungeon

Dojima: WHY NANAKO WHY ARE YOU STARING

The concept of Nanako’s dungeon is Heaven because of her backstory of losing her mother and wanting to be with her is so heartbreaking it makes me cry and emotional to think a little girl would think that at that small age

Playing this game really helped me deal with my depression. You feel so apart of everything going on. I legit missed hearing "Welcome home, Big Bro!" It's crazy how playing through it makes you forget about reality

This sounds so peaceful even though you're trying to stop someone from potentially murdering a little girl, other than that this is awesome

Your social link of the 'Justice' Ancarna has grown Nanako can now survive a mortal blow for you in combat!

This is what made the incentive behind this game feel better than persona 5. Persona 5 is very much "you have to take out the baddie because if you dont then bad things will happen to YOU" Whereas persona 4: "you have to save this person, they will fucking die. We cant make this any clearer. their life is in your hands." The fact the last kidnapping is nanako really kicked things up a notch. Not only is it someone purely innocent, but it's also your little sister. The girl youve been keeping company all this time. I'm not rescuing her because the game is telling me to, I WANT to do this. That's one thing that Persona 4 does better than all the other games.

I did feel bad for Nanako and this part of the game did give me the feels. However, am I the only person that felt bad for Namatame?

Full confession: up to Nanako's kidnapping, I was mixed on P4G. I bought it as soon as it went on Steam, but didn't get to actually playing it until a few weeks ago. Having played it after P5, I can say that P4G and, by extension, P4, have been objectively obliterated by the passage of time in a lot of ways. I loved the story, but the actual dungeoning reminded me of why I tend to stay away from RPGs. By the time Naoto's dungeon hit, I was bored to the point that I contemplated putting the game down. Thank God I didn't. Nanako's kidnapping and the subsequent mad-dash to rescue her might be my new favorite gaming moment. What makes this dungeon work so well is down to Persona's social link system. If you played the game like I did, you maxed out Nanako's social link as soon as you were able. She's a good character for a host of reasons, but she matters to the player because we spend so much time with her. She confides her feelings in us and relies on us to find answers to important questions in her own life. We're more than just a special bond to her, we're her big bro. When she gets kidnapped by Namatame and her father is injured attempting to rescue her, it falls on the player to save her. At this point, we also assume that Namatame may be the killer, heightening the stakes even more. Like a lot of other people, I beat this dungeon the first day it was available. Stopping Namatame is no longer about the case: it's personal. It's about saving your little sister. For everything I didn't like about P4G, saving Nanako made every moment I spent with the game worth it a hundred times over.

If I ever own a bar I swear I’m just gonna have Persona music on repeat.

I blew through fights just to find her....I put myself in Yu's shoes lol. I'm a proud big brother.

BUURNNNN MYYYY BREADDDDD.... whoops wrong song.

Yu: *Cocks gun and sharpens katana and summons Beelzebub* Alright Namatame no more Mr Funny Narukami

*When you successfully reset the universe*

I was so personally offended when I found out Nanako was the next victim. Usually I'd take a few days to gear up before tackling a dungeon but I went straight in and fought til I needed to get out; repeat the next day haha

Been playing persona 4 again on these coronavirus quarantine days and reached this dungeon. Feels. Nanako-chaaannn

who' s here after the PC port announcement ? 😍♥️

Girls with time travel: Hey I'm your granddaughter Boys with tine travel: DONT OPEN THE DOOR NANAKO-CHAN

Nanako. The single greatest motivator in video game history. I'm pretty sure anyone with even a single brain cell would've hurled themselves into the nearest television to beat the absolute shit out of the person that stole here away, lol.

I kid you not, I wasted no time saving her

Turned off the game sound on heave and played the song on my phone... damn shadows interrupting this wonderful feeling..

Holy crap I didn’t realize until now: her name is NANAko. Nana means 7 in Japanese, and Heaven is the 7th dungeon you go to.

I'm happy to see that everyone immediately jumps in to the TV world when we know Nanako's there. I legit finished the entire dungeon in one sitting, one try from floor 1 to floor 10. The protecc squad is strong with this one.

First hearing this song - "eh, this one's not so great" 0:47 - "oh, hold up"

Me after Mitsuo's dungeon: This creep sucks, I don't mind saving him but can they up the stakes so I actually care more? Atlus: Here buddy, the absolute highest stakes in any game ever period

I didn't go to school myself to play for hours and rescue Nanako in a day 💀

Can't get my mind out of my memori- Shadow budge in... NOW I FACE OUT! I HOLD OUT! I REACH OUT TO THE TRUTH!.

I can't bring myself to NOT rush this dungeon in one go. It's incredible how it makes you feel like it's all or nothing in this one. I loved it.

It's literally canon that no matter what playthrough, Yu fucking BLASTS through this dungeon like in a single day ripping apart shadows like the Doomslayer

When nanako was kidnapped, everytime the character went home, I swear i could feel tears welling up in my eyes..... Then came harvesting the crack wheat i planted.... Did it alone of course *curls up in a corner and sobs*

I haven't even played Persona 4, but this song is almost bringing me to tears. *dArNIt ShOjI meGuRo wHy ArE YoU sO aMaZiNg*

Nanako Social Link Completed "Okay I'm done and I don't have to bother with this child again to focus on other tasks." Nanako is on the midnight channel. *Neo Featherman R Rollcall*

why the fuck every time I hear this song I want to cry I don't even know what they say

I listened to this on an overnight road trip and it helped keep me awake while I was driving, felt like I was trying to save Nanako lol

リマスター版買って 何年ぶりにプレイしたけどこの曲きいて 涙出た、、、神曲すぎる！！

I feel like they pulled the punch on this part of the story. If they had let Nanako die, that would have been one of the most significant boss battles in the history of role playing games. It would have been personal. Of course, I also think that they should have pulled a Dante's Inferno and allowed you to venture into the aferlife to bring her back. But just imagine the decisions players would have made not knowing that you were going to be able to bring her back later on. I"m sure 99% of players would have just turned into vengeful monsters killing anyone they might have thought had anything to do with Nanako's death. Fuck morality, because, Nanako!
