Timestamps for convenience: 0:00 - 8bit with expansion chip 2:15 - Mega Man 8bit 3:57 - Genesis 16bit

Love how they all have their cool battle poses and Ryuji's like "Wassup boi"

"I've been waiting for this."

Man Ann was thicc but we reaching dummy thicc status with this one chief

A detail in the sprite art I like is how Ryuji is the lowest on health, since a lot of his skills use HP instead of MP.

RYUJIS HURT SOMEBODY HELP HIM

3:57 When you put the Joker costume on your Sonic Forces character Srsly tho, this is awesome :0

Damn, Ryuji has a lot of SP.

Make sure you stay for the whole video so you can hear all three styles! Also, please make sure to spread this video around via FB, Twitter, etc! Additionally, I made three musical references: one to a Mega Man song, one to another Persona 5 track, and one to a 70s rock song. Can you recognize them all?

Being suddenly reminded of certain games that coined the various styles used in this cover was great as was the cover itself. Especially loved the genesis voice samples.

I never saw joker kirby shooting me coming Oh wait

when the gang finally reaches the boss in part 5

Okay I need full versions of each style because they each sound INCREDIBLE JUST OH MY GOD

0:00 Shido 2:15 Velvet Twins 3:57 Holy Grail

I love the touch of “Whims of Fate” at the end. It just works with the rest of the song really well

The 16-bit Michael Jackson “Woah” in the background is probably one of my favorite touches.

Best song of the whole game. Specifically when it came down to second phase, and the lyrics literally stole my heart...

I liked how you used the three styles to do the music. Good job!

That genesis section was pure gold. It'd definitely love to hear it extended!

*Never saw it coming* I mean, This is some good stuff!

The whims of fate plus rivers in the desert chorus there at the end was tasty AF

Looks like today was a good day to wake up early!

I don't know how this ended up in my recommendations, but I'm glad it did. Nicely done.

So Early! 4th! Whats better than a bit Musikage uploading a video? A song with a awesome background!

Wow the MegaMan one sounds like a King Knight second phase

Ah...yes...Shin Persona Tensei, my favorite

This is the greatest. This is like the third extra quality track I've heard from you now. You most certainly are the Chiptune Village Musikage. Endless Kudos.

Ryuji in the back row and Ann in front? We stan bold choices!

Final boss:Rivers in the desert Phase 1:Remix Trombone Phase 2:Notalgia bit

Great job as usual, Denile River. Have to say that the 8bit expansion chip version was my favourite, with the Genesis 16bit coming in a close second. P.S. I never saw this coming, so thanks! Love ya buddy, heheh...

Wow, this sounds amazing! I love it! I really need play Persona sometime!

I love the fact that you use almost always the same pose for joker because he looks so cool like that

*Shadow Shido attacks *Go, Joker! *What will joker do? [Fight] >[Persona] [Item] *[Flee]*

Great work and the animation is great but I’m not sure about this party for the shido fight

*I nEvEr SaW tHiS cOmInG*

すげぇ!

The final one reminds me so much of Streets or Rage (Bare Knuckle) or somewhat old Sonic and I’m living for it

I now have some kick ass ambiance music for my Gameboy. Blues battle on Pokemon Blue is gonna be even more epic.

God the electro swing one is such a bop

Wow 3 different covers and in different styles. Fantastic job

i used almost the exact team for the fight. (replaced Ann for Makoto)

If Persona 5 existed in the NES days it would be badass

Joker playing the Shido fight on his Famicom that he bought across the street

This is obviously fake. There’s no character named ‘Haru’ in Persona 5.

that joker fails to describe me as i have a habit of spamming megidolaon from messiah picaro way more often than i should and my SP suffers for it

Shit, did Mitsuo come back as a hidden boss?

Damn, no healer, this party’s going down fast

anns outline makes a panther. clever.

Man imagine fighting the 'final' boss in persona 5 with only three Party members for me that would be kind of hard unless I grind

'tis a quite an unforeseen circumstances.

Please SOMEONE MAKE A FAN-MADE BATTLE OF THIS.

That title is a bunch of words I never expected I would find together

Man, i can totally imagine a persona game with this style

you Know that JoJo snes that a killer soundtrack I'd love to see this song but remix to that

I never saw it coming. *I'm ready for the sweet release of death.*

Lol the MJ woos during the Genesis parts. Nice touch.

"There are no need for thieves in my mighty country. Only myself and those who Revere me are needed."

yoo this is SICK, any chiptune version i watched beside this never had this!!

I don’t know why but this sounds so... correct

アレンジも凄いけど魔法メインで戦う杏のSPが少ないのと体力減らす物理技を使って戦う竜司の残り体力が少ないの細かくて好き

Before this cover, there was the Jilly Shears and Lumena-tan crossover for Rivers in the Desert with SMT N163...which isn't online anymore due to an account disabling. (If someone knows where that cover exists on the internet, let me know.) That foreword out of the way, holy shit. I like the original style and I'm glad you replicated that first, but arranging this song into different styles was genius. The speed transitioning was fantastic too, really felt natural.

I love the genesis section so much

I love you for the Haru rep

3:59 DAMN that funky bass 🔥

Persona 5 will make a great retro game because of the soundtrack

I LOVE THIS OMG

Funnily enough, this was my exact team when I fought Shido.

Love the 8-bit remix, but I was hoping there would be sprite animations. Haru is what got me through Shido at a low level thanks to Makarakarn and Tetrakarn.

This needs even more praise!!!🦋🦋🦋

A P5 demake would be epic if it sounds and looks this good

"Don't forget this feeling" - Best girl

I would pay $20 for a 8/16 bit version of persona 5 like this

I now want a full bossfight playthrough in 8bit

A heart beat for a tin man!

Es bellísimo! :3

Persona Rockman at 2:17

The Genesis one gives me a P2 eternal punishment vibe.

Atlus when people make their music in other sound fonts and its actually good: "Damn brat, I'll sue!"

Never saw this coming

My team was Joker Makoto Ann Ryuji

That is going to be tough fight with that group. No healer for the Shido fight?^^

It is official. CPU has made us all crazy!

I would pay $25 just to watch a 8-bit version of their own battle or even more if they want

Man, I want to make this into my ringtone for when someone calls me.

CRY ALL YOU WANT! ITS NOT LIKE IM GONNA FORGIVE YA!!!!

Now we need keep your faith.

That’s the most cool looking boss turned to 8bit.

*looks at the last 2 numbers in harus sp* Me: Noice

Damn, sounds as epic even 8-bit:D Also, would love to listen to 1 hour extended version of this track if possible)

great!!

I’ll never saw it coming.

holy crap i need an extended version of that genesis remix

Would lowkey play a 8 bit demake of P5 if it looked and sounded like this

liked the kiko1ish genesis style in the end

A Pixel I The Desert

I really like it! Btw, I wanted to save that pixel art of the Shido fight, but it's not on any of cpu's websites. It looks so cool.

God dammit I want an 8/16 bit remake of Persona 5 thanks to this.

I love this.

I chuckled from this

This was basically my lineup in this fight, except Ann was replaced by Makoto.
