This is possibly one of my all time favorite from the ost. As soon as it came on in game, I started crying like crazy. You'' know why when you get there ;) Download here: mega.nz/#!iBsj...
i think the ancient part comes from the percussion instruments the sadness comes from the guitar because the only other song we hear that guitar in is confession and the futuristic part comes from the synths the nostalgia is kind of all of that combined
I will try my best to explain. The melody, guitar and bass are in scale of C thats why this music it’s so energetic, but sometime the bass will change from scale of C to F which it is a lil “darker” than C, so this sudden change of notes (btw it is just from A to Ab) makes this effect of something wrong or something kinda sad while the other instruments still playing on C, this is more like a mask showing that you are okey but inside you are dead af just like Futaba. Sorry for commenting this 2 months later, have a nice day! (Edit): typo
I think it's got to have part with the fact it gives massive Sonic Adventure vibes for both the Jungle Temple and Pyramid from SA2. Atlus is a part of Sega after all.
I think futaba's palace had the most interesting level design. At first it looks like literally a straight line directly to the treasure, but then you realise it's not that simple and you need to unravel the complexities bit by bit to proceed... Exactly like with the palace's owner
At the moment it’s the hardest palace I’ve been, but there’s like other 3 to finish the game so i should expect more, also yes it’s the harder but also my favorite until now
@@mrman6981 i decide to don’t play r, just bought strikers and im in the start of nijima’s palace, can’t wait to play striker, and i know what you mean lol, a lot of people say okomura boss is harder in royale
I expected something similar to Okumura's aestethic, got a desert Expected the end to be some kinda pharaoh, sphinx or Egyptian god, Got persona 4'd instead by then. Gotta love this game
I wasn't a very big fan of this song because it felt like something was missing but then my friend said that it feels like there should be a woman singing over it.. I then realised this song is the perfect fit for futabas palace
Same here. 2 weeks ago I was able to send the calling card the complete the Palace, but now i'm afraid to do that cuz of this music, because if I complete the Palace I will be unable to hear this music :-(
Lo-fi Hip Hop Beats to get bodied by Anubis to 🎶 Edit: I beat the game a year ago and don't need any genius replies telling me "EZ pro gamer strats" thanks
The thing I like about this song is how it contrasted with the palace environment. It was in a desert and hot yet this song gave me a very relaxed and chill feeling. I love it!
I thought it fit this palace quite well. It sounds like an upbeat summer theme which fits when this palace can be tackled (July-August aka nearing summer time - summer time in Persona 5). Plus it fits the palace itself considering the sunny scenery from the outside and the palette of the inside.
The electric guitar is quite possibly the closest sound an instrument can get to representing human crying, and they did this in such an amazing way to let even those who don’t know that be able to feel the emotion. It feels like there should be lyrics right? Those lyrics are missing and gone, just like the mother, which is what they were trying to portray.
Futaba is my favorite because everything she went through, her back story, her palace just everything. I really enjoy the change she went through. She was depressed and felt guilty for her moms death and now shes getting confidence in herself
I love ALL the characters of P5, but while every single character has their own arc and psychology, Futaba's was the deepest and most obvious She grew so much, not like a child into an adult (Well... maybe), but more like someone lost who finally found their way. Watching her grow in confidence, and hearing Sojiro grow warmer in tone to the main character because of how much she improved, IDK it just cuts me deep in the feels
I think the game took a high notch up once you know about Futaba and I specially enjoyed her backstory and her palace. Also, I think Futaba is possibly the best character in Persona 5.
I agree with all your points but to be honest I personally preferred Yusuke as a character by an impossibly close margin but if we are talking about how their characters and arcs were integrated into their palaces, futaba wins by a mile.
@@lordman5497 I think it feels that way to represent how alone futaba feels, like yeah it sounds a bit happy to us because we don't fully understand how she feels
Gaming awards are subjective so any awesome game may beat your personal fav on any given day. I'm happy it received pretty much universal praise and Atlus are reaching a bigger audience with each new entry, they are killing it. Saying that, I got into this series late (P4G) and I'm blown away by the content and attention to detail they put into every game, music, characters, gameplay, it all just clicks. Favourite series since MGS
@@MewoisSleepDeprived it is amazing. Botw is a masterpiece. Persona 5 is a JRPG and we dont we much of those as game of the year nominations so this is still a great game even if it didnt win
Yesssss! I cant tell u how many hours and minutes i spent just admiring the music and architecture of this beautifully made palace by atlus 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙇🏾♂️
I´ve always felt a vibe of melancholy and loneliness from this ost, like a desperate call for help. I feel a deep connection with this ost because those were the exact feelings I felt "when my mother was there". I was underage, weak, and afraid. My dad abandoned me, my mother harassed me if she felt like speaking to me that day, she suffered from bipolarity and acute anxiety disorder, she refused to buy her medications or get help after she was diagnosed, I had no other family members that cared about my condition or my mom´s, I had no friends, no money, nowhere to go. I just wanted my dad back, I wanted my mother to love me again, but that never happened. I was very lonely. I just felt like I had no place left in this world. Suicide thoughts were a daily occurrence, but I knew I wouldn´t do it, I knew I did not have the guts. I saw no meaning and no escape. I thought this hell would last forever. If I could leave a message to my old self from that time I would tell him that everything is gonna be alright, that sooner or later I will free myself from my chains and go on a journey that will shape my character and that all the pieces of the puzzle will start fitting in its place and the world will no longer seem so strange and hostile. That I would be tested by adversity and come up though not unharmed also unbroken, and realize I am strong, much stronger than I imagined, and that my determination of not letting tragedies best me is all I need to keep going, for it is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. I am grateful I lived those dark days, sometimes we have to experience our lowest to learn to appreciate the greatest things in life. Oh yes, I think this ost suits me well when I think of those days. Do not give up. You may want to send a message to your past self someday, just as I do, and say that everything is going to be alright.
I might be your past self haha... I just got out of a situation like that... but sort of different, I'm living with my brother. I felt like I had chains to my mother because I had to watch over her and not let her commit suicide because no one else wanted to deal with it (on a daily basis), and at the same time be her therapist and punching bag. Pretty much everything you say is what is/was going on, the only discrepancy is me not wanting to commit suicide (yet). I decided one night on a whim to reach out to my entire family after I had reached my breaking point, I didn't even know what any of them could do. I just sent a screen shot of a text she sent me and asked for help, not knowing what I would receive. My brother took me in about a month ago. I played this game in that month, completely in the dark having never heard of this game, more so only seeing pictures of characters and not knowing who or what they were from. I cried so hard in Futaba's palace, especially because I have autism spectrum disorder and it feels like she did too, but after more discussion with my brother I was thinking too much about it. I recently tried to play new game plus because my brother told me there was a better ending to get, when I got to medjed though, I stopped playing. I don't want to deal with it again at the moment. It sounds weird from someone visiting this song, shaking and holding back tears while typing, but I felt I needed to know more, I wanted to get over it too like Futaba did. I act like she already killed herself... It hasnt happened (yet). I have seen her attempts, been the only one present to hear her suicide threats, and... it's just numbing. I still remember walking into the room, numb at the point of wanting it to just happen already so I didn't have to worry anymore, knowing it would happen someday... She had a bag over her head laying in bed... I saw she was still breathing, I took the bag off, threw it in the trash and walked downstairs to my "room" (which had curtain as a door, and my mother had no sense of boundaries so I might as well have been sleeping in the kitchen or something). I know it sounds like "Get some fucking therapy", but perhaps you have some advice or experience to share on how you got over the trauma, or how you are working on it? I had a therapist with whom I discussed this with, and it didn't help, although I was being thoroughly honest with her... She just was acting like an ear rather than offering ways to recover. Sorry
"When My Mother Was There"....this doesn't give me good memories either. Guess I might as well vent here... When I was 9, going on 10, which for clarification was about 4-5 years ago at the time I'm writing this, my mom passed away from undiagnosed diabetes. We'd all had the flu that day, and me, my sister and my dad all got better. Mom didn't. My dad made her some food, she ate it, and, well, we though everything was fine. It wasn't. She walked out sometime while we were chilling in the living room and...she just passed out on the floor. We called the paramedics and they brought her to a hospital, they put her in the Intensive Care Unit just to try and keep her alive. Her heart failed 5 times that night, from what Dad told me. I never got to see her in the hospital, because I was just....9. A kid, waiting for his mom to get better. They told Dad she wasn't going to make it....and he had to be the one to tell me the next morning that she wasn't coming home. Then......a year ago, my aunt suffered a similar fate. She was...well, she was an alcoholic, and took a lot of Tylenol or whatever too....eventually, she just...passed out as well. I didn't see it myself this time, I was visiting in Arizona with her....uh, ex-boyfriend, Chad. I still considered him an uncle, even a father figure because...well, at the time, my home situation in California just wasn't good at all. That day was the first time I saw someone in an ICU. And I'm glad I wasn't allowed to when I was 9. It wasn't pretty. She lasted much much longer in the ICU than Mom, but.....when I finally left with my sister, who'd also come by to see her in the ICU....when I got home in California, my second true mother figure was gone. I was already depressed from Mom dying, hell I even considered suicide even though I also never had the guts...but besides not having that many thoughts about suicide, I was worse, I think. But....I'm better now. Me and Dad got out of a bad living situation, and now we're at least living somewhere. Still....I can't forget. I can't forget any of it. WOW. That...that was a lot of typing....wowie. Sorry if this is a serious mind-fryer...
im happy and proud of you that you made it through. we all go through a lot of difficult things in our lives. the fact that a video game like p5 can make us reflect on such things is incredible in and of itself. i hope you enjoyed royal if you played it and i wish you the best!
Lucy Blackthorn I’m new to the Persona series, Idk what you’re talking about when it comes to any other Persona. Well, I was new, and I still kind of am being I only ever played P5 and P5R.
@@MIGU3L2K Ah, well not to give away so many spoils but Nanako is basically your little sister in P4 and she is kidnapped and depending on the ending she can end up dying and her dungeon theme is so sad because of the ties to her bonding events
There is this misconception going around that Futaba's Palace is somehow meant to represent two sin's at once, because of her calling card. That isn't true. Her calling card had no sin at all in the japanese Version of the game. The whole part about Sloth was only added in the english version of the game, for some reason. But Futaba has nothing to do with Sloth. And that's why i've copied this amazing comment that i've found to prove it to you guys. "Sloth falls in the category of being that one word that we only think as one thing like greed, lust and gluttony. What defines sloth is if someone doesn't want to think for themselves, do anything for themselves and rather be told to do stuff by someone without second thought aka being super lazy, just like the shadow in mementos. Futaba's reason for being "lazy" is much more complicated than just "not willing to do anything" (we will get to that) Her "sloth" attitude comes from the event surrounding her mother's death. She had an argument with her mom before Wakaba died and the men in black read the fake note to her and her relatives. This causes her relatives to turn on her, which in turn causes her to develop PTSD (right?) and developed a hated toward herself. This was causes her to have that "lazy attitude." So unlike the shadows of mementos, her PTSD attitude was not because she was lazy but rather because of her own belief of her killing her mom and wanting to punish herself. But even then, she doesn't show any laziness after that, even while she was a shut-in for two years. She used her time as a shut-in to study how to hack, took online classes and do research on cognitive psience because inside her heart, her shadow keeps telling her that it was not the full story, even if Fufu herself don't believe it. Had she stayed sloth, there would be no way she would be so knowledgeable or skilled at hacking. Another thing to note is that in someone's cognitive world, everything is develop by the mind and heart of the person. Having said that, we can say that Cognitive Wakaba came from Fufu herself and not a separate identity. The whole point of Wakaba is that Futaba believes that she killed her mom and thus she hates herself for that. Wakaba is there not to protect the pharaoh but to make sure she gets her revenge on the daughter who killed her by making sure Fufu stays in her coffin forever. And this is coming from Futaba's mind. And there is also her shadow. She is the last line of defense of keeping Futaba alive. When the PT came to her palace, she assume they were there to destroy her (probably from the research real Futaba did so she led them to traps out of self defense. There's also the talk between the two Futaba where she threathen the real Fufu that she will kill the PT if real Fufu don't do anything about them. And then their the whole awakening scene, where the shadow tell Fufu to get mad and get revenge. Shadows are the deepest and hidden part of a person personality and her shadow never shown sloth. She shows wrath. This can be proven by the fact that the other 3 target's shadows act like their repetitive sins. It is also noted that Futaba whole reason for joining the PT is to get revenge aka wrath. In fact, it is why she contacted the PT to help her. And yeah, there the whole "can't meet face to face" but don't forget she has a condition that prevents her from going outside and this condition isn't cause by laziness but rather the vengeful adults who berate her and denied her because they believe she killed Wakaba aka "wrath."
@@therealMrA sloth and gluttony aren't the same, kaneshiro represents gluttony. There's a later palace that represents sloth that would be a major spoiler if I said it
The only thing missing that hasn’t already been covered was that Futaba was also watching over her friend that was in danger, despite her initial reactions to the friend’s original situation.
Same. I mean, I loved it from the start--those anime cutscenes were SUCH a good choice. Then I met best girl Yusuke and fell in love more. THEN I got to Futaba's Palace and realized, "Holy crap. This game is better than great. It's amazing."
This chapter made me shed some tears. Futaba’s backstory, plus how she herself made the request for a change of heart.. damn :’(. Atlus knows how to hit you in the feels. (Beautiful palace theme, btw)
So this song has been permanently burned into my memory because of one weekend with my little brother crashing at my place and everytime he came over he would play his save file of persona 5 on my crap ps3 well I watched him play but eventually I passed out on the couch while watching him in this palace and every 20 minutes he would wake me up to ask how to beat a section and this went on for the entire night and I just remember falling back to sleep and badadadadaa playing over and over and over again and it’s a good memory but it’s burned it’s way into my memory
I just thought of something. Do you think that that little town at the start at the palace was Leblanc in her eyes? Because she didn’t care about anywhere else, yet there was still a town in the distance.
I did not expect to like Futaba as much as I did. Found her a bit annoying at first, but her palace actually hit me in the feels and is one of the most emotional and important arcs of the game. It’s also the beginning of Sojiro starting to become more protective of you as well. Futaba’s confidant then proceeds to fully establish a sibling dynamic, and Sojiro’s confidant then establishes him as your father, making this entire silly little family complete. Honestly, Sojiro’s confidant was really enjoyable to complete.
This is probably my favorite Palace theme in the game. It totally captures Futaba's chill, technological aesthetic while also showing her loneliness and guilt. She's probably one of, if not my favorite character in the game.
Not only does it have best girl, Futaba Sakura as the character you get, but here backstory is so sad, I can't help but feel bad for her and she is so cute!!!!!!!! I just want to cuddle her!!!
I would even say it is my favorite Palace in the game, the atmosphere is just great, I love how unlike other Palaces the theme of this is calm and peaceful almost relaxing showing that unlike other Futaba has no evil goal, I also the Egyptian theme of the visuals for this dungeon, but I also like how the Level-Design of the dungeon itself represent Futaba's story so well, really my favorite palace in the game.
+Nesouk Kefka yes, I have to agree, Futaba's backstory actually Made me cry a little, and the whole Anime-Loving Quirky hacker personality is just the icing on the cake! Also, NECRONOMICON! I wish Futaba had the ability to swoop in and deal a good amount of damage and knock the enemy down like every other character does... But you can't have everything... Futaba's Palace was calming, except for Anubis... Damn, why does it have no weakness!?!?! But if I'm being serious, Futaba's awakening was the best out of everyone's! (except for Jokers, that was cool)
While her awakening isn't as badass as Joker story wise her awakening was the best for me, Yeah she can do damage but hey she can already charge up and heal (either HP or SP) are entire party that's pretty badass.
This theme represents what the name suggests... Futaba's wishing her mother was there and nothing else, and this entire palace and arc hit different than the rest of the game... The electric high tone is her waking up from a dream where her mother's alive and well, To the lower softer electric tone which is her waking and sitting up in a haze and coming to realization that her mother is never coming back... These electric (high) and (low) tones give off the feel of a lost parent, from the happy memorys you've made together To the sadness that you'll never make memories with said parent again. It's lingering in memories of someone that is nevermore... The first guitar solo is her happy memories with her mother whitch is why it's a much more mellow tone than the rest of the song... Than it grows and grows til it climaxs at the end... This specific OST hits different... And just... Listening to the song sounds like someone is crying out, I struggled to get through Futaba's palace because... Well... I was dealing and grieving from a relative that had passed weeks prior to me getting P5, I felt myself well up inside when I heard the OST for the first time, when going through her palace. I asked myself "why do I feel like crying?..." Until I actually sat down and gave the OST a listen. I found myself in tears, Persona 5 holds a special place in my heart, the experience's are somethin to be cherished. Edit: this relative that I mentioned that had passed away was like a Mother figure to me when I was growing up, so her passing away tore me up... To a point I pushed everyone away and kept myself locked up in my room... Sorta like Futaba...
I did love this ost the most for sure, and I feel like part of why I enjoyed it so much was because the second I entered a desert area, I dreaded the moment I would hear the same generic sounds that are always used with any Egyptian theme in a game and, well.. I was really surprised by this one. Loved it so much more for that.
Never seen a song emit so much emotion and touch without the help of lyrics (even without story context). One of my favorite P5 songs, if not my favorite.
SPOILERS in case you haven't played this game or reached this part of the game btw. Anyone else notice how it kinda makes sense that Futaba's palace is not just a regular tomb but an egyptian tomb/pyramid in the middle of a hot desert because you start it during the summer? You know, when it's really hot in the real world?
It would be funny if it was Winter and the Palace is the same Egyptian Tomb style, but everything is covered in snow. It would give that "Only in a Palace" feeling.
I know this is 10 months ago but the reason this place is a desert is because she wants to be isolated from anyone hence this is a desert, even the characters in persona 5 say that themselves as well
@@Gamingvortex18 Imo, that and also the fact that when you start her Palace, it's during the summer in the real world when it's really hot. I'd imagine that if it was during the winter instead, it would be a tomb of sorts that's in the middle of an arctic wasteland or something.
As someone who carried a lot of undeserving guilt, think they caused their mother's death for so long, Futaba's palace really hit a deep place for me. Grief can do a lot of horrible things to someone, and I applaud Atlus for just how well done Futaba's palace was. Personally, I thought it was the best Palace in the game, because of just how real it got, delving into Futaba's grief, sorrow and guilt, and how at first, it seemed to be very straightforward, but I actuality had a lot of intricacies and mystery to it, much like the brain and psyche of someone with mental health issues.
I asked my mother what she thinks when she listens to this song. She said “Saturday night, with my friend in a jazz club, with a live band” Just a fun fact
Easily the best palace in the game. Great music, an awesome look and design, the best puzzles, and the story that goes along with it is well done and gets really personal.
This has to be my favorite OST in the game. I don't know what it is but the sound just exudes adventure and freedom. I especially like the cover art on the video with the city on the left side. I'm a sucker for aesthetics and goddamn if this doesn't make me want to become a crime fighting persona user in Tokyo myself. Persona 5 is the game that brought me to love storytelling in video games. Love this game
Why I love this song so much is that, yes, there is a lively, almost adventurous sound from it. But also deep tinges of sadness, little cords here and there that give you a sense of loneliness.
It feels so weird, me being just like futaba... like a big portion of me describes her.. when I listen to this it reminds me of a lot of things that happend in the past how introverted I was and I still am.. using computers all the time its such a weird connection
I could listen to this song every day, all day. Has gotten me through troubling times such as getting through a masters degree. The nature of the song makes me love my mother even more and want to express that to her as much as possible while she is here.
currently playing P5 and working at home during covid era, last couple of days i have been just leaving the game on in the palace and vibing while working new fav song last week it was the gun shop theme
@@Ready4Whatever How about you shut the fuck up?? Not only are you responding to a two year old comment, but it’s not your buisness what people enjoy. Go be happy somewhere else. Edit: I may have made a typo, but my point still stands
What I like about this theme is it creeps me out. At the beginning, the keys sound sinister and like something could pop up at any moment. But then the guitar steps in and sounds happier. The guitar is Futaba's mother, stepping in to make everything not sound so scary and make Futaba feel safe. And without the guitar, the song sounds creepy, like Futaba being scared
The guitar in this theme conveys Futaba's emotions really well. You can feel just how broken she is without her mom. I didn't really pay attention to this theme on my first playthrough, but on my 2nd, I realized how good it was
This song is amazing, so many layers, chill vibes with a sort of sad atmosphere, sometimes I just randomly get tears swelling up listening to it, certain tones hitting certain parts just right.
The Soundtrack, for the most part, is alright. Then this track played. It's classic Megami Tensei. Really reminded me of Persona 3 and both Digital Devil Saga games. Gotta give it to Shoji Meguro.
This song reminded me of Memories of the City from P3. I think it's the guitar solo kinda wafting in and out in a similar manner, but they both really have an emotional hit with them too. Two of my favorites from a series where it's hard to choose favorites because all of the music is so good.
This is actually a lovely song, a great mix and blend of styles--I don't know how this isn't the most popular song on the OST tbh. I was floored. This song was what convinced me to get the vinyls, honestly.
The best track in this game by far. It evokes a lot of emotion especially when you remember the context of the game and if you have suffered from similar feelings yourself.
Can we all understand, This is the best relaxing music in the game and overall the best character in the game. Her palace is so full with the mystery of her past self.. It's honestly the best, I didn't wanna finish this yet but you have too.. Futaba is the my best character.. Still don't know why she changed her hair that's the biggest mystery.
My parents were playing pattycake in the bedroom (if you know what I mean) so I put on my headphones and blasted this for about 40 minutes. I don’t even play persona but my friend let me watch him play it and I loved this song. 11/10 for getting me through my parents pattycake nights
