Persona 5 Royal - Our Light | Reacting To Video Game Music! 

What did it cost?

Depending on which ending you choose I suppose

@@RealRoboKnight A man who had no real free choice of his own, with his only real choice being to reject an easy way of life.

Yes. He wanted to rob innocent people of their free will. The comparison to the Phantom Thieves doesn't hold up since they only targeted people who had done something wrong.

I really liked the way she sang in English. You can tell she isn't very comfortable with the language which adds more uniqueness to an already unique soundtrack

In the P5S additional stuffs there's a thing with her recording one of the tracks and yeah, she's getting clarification on meanings so she can emote the right way and stuff.

I mean not to be rude, but I couldn't understand any English at all

The engrish is the best part of any persona song, she did amazing

P3's ending does murder on my tear ducts, ngl.

Facts

@@vetreas366 fr

Bit of an understatement, but it's definitely true.

The only exception is P1's it's more of a triumphant song (PS1 version btw) mainly because of the context of the ending, the final battle is a desperate last stand and for the most part it ends happily, Eternal Punishment's is also more hopeful but the ending itself is still sad

Don’t sleep through dreams that caaaan’t come true!

@@eldrasgames7947 Nooooo more tears shall drop from your cheeks anymooooore

@@eldrasgames7947 can*

DrazyDark, I saw your comment from an email from RU-vid. I assume you deleted it because you realized you were wrong. It is “can” and not “can’t” because it makes no sense in the context of the boss to be “can’t”. If an omnipotent being wants you to have your dreams come true, he would something like “don’t sleep through your dreams that can actually come true”, not “can’t”.

I've played P5R but I don't even remember this song. Then again I thought P5R was a step down from P5, which was already the weakest of the 3 modern Persona games. Probably has something to do with it.

@@pezdispencer113 It's possible that you haven't heard the song if you didn't unlock the third semester.

@@pezdispencer113 You might not have unlocked the Royal arc, which happens AFTER where vanilla P5 ends. You can only unlock it if you reached Rank 9 with Maruki before he leaves in November. Kasumi and Akechi’s confidant ranks are not required to unlock the new Royal arc, but you will be permanently locked out of continuing them if you don’t complete them in time (Rank 5 before the vanilla P5 ending for Kasumi, Rank 8 for Akechi before completing the Casino), and if you get locked out of completing their confidants you will be missing a LOT. Trust me, the Royal arc is WORTH it. I didn’t care much about Akechi after vanilla P5, but the new confidant ranks and the Royal arc made him one of my favorite video game characters of all time. Everything about this arc is MINDBLOWING and I can’t quote describe why without massively spoiling it.

Nope, I finished the whole thing. If this song is in the game then I would have encountered it, I just have zero recollection of it.

@@pezdispencer113 Than you didint finish the royal arc

Rest in Peace Nujabes.

*eats popcorn* you're welcome

I'm slowly starting to recognize the names in Jesse's comment section and I love it

@@veeegy2745 *eats popcorn* we are everywhere.

@@Sflott you really like popcorn huh LOL

@@veeegy2745 my popcorn is spreading from his Discord to RU-vid.

P5R is not anymore canon than P5S is, as far as we know at the moment. Both were being developed at the same time so they couldn't be connected because one team had no idea of the plot the other team was making. Considering that Royal is a rewrite, while Strikers is a sequel, I'd say Strikers has a bid of an edge on the canonicity. That said, objectively speaking, we are currently in a Schrödinger's Cat situation. Both are canon (multiverse) until the next game set in the P5 universe.

@Tempest271 There is nothing contradicting p5R in p5S so they could very well both be canon. The only thing inconsistent is the odd lack of sumire but it’s not enough to de canonize Strikers. If one of them had to be canon though, I would personally very much prefer if royal was.

@@jacksonbrickmedia939 True, there are not direct contradictions and both could be made canon if there is another P5 game in the future. Which is why I said that, as of now, both are canon/non-canon until further confirmation That said, since P5S was also marketed as P5-2, I lean more to the side of "Strikers is canon, while Royal is a WhatIf"

@@jacksonbrickmedia939 Strikers basically ignores Royal's ending though and continues on like all the stuff with Maruki never happened...

@@Malacite technically it didn’t happen. It was undone and time rolled back

I once ran away from the god of fear and he chained me to despair yeah

Or Last Surprise

Our light plays in the true ending not the bad one Were we go back to the true reality and as we fought for the imperfect reality the ending has to be imperfect and bittersweet

Im with you, with the stars and us just feels like such a perfect finishing song, this song just doesn't hit me the same

"The Stars and Us" definitely has a more triumphant feeling to it; "Our Light" seems more uncertain and somber, which I think is appropriate given the apparent loss of a certain character during the endgame.

I want to say this is pretty intentional. With The Stars And Us is about trudging forward believing in yourself, the things you stand for and your memories, while Our Light is about vowing to keep walking on after a grievous loss. It's only natural that the former feels more emotional while the other has a less satisfying flow, it's meant to be somber and perhaps even incomplete, you may say.
