Persona 4 golden opening9/28/2023 ![]() Keep an eye on the official Atlus website for more news. I’ll get the chance when Person 4 Golden is released this fall. Can you tell I don’t know all that much about the Persona series? But this intro makes me want to learn more. And a weird blue bear in pajamas who can open his head like a pez dispenser. Pretty snazzy, right? I mean… there’s a dancing guy with a giant bucket on his head. The boss theme: Ill Face Myself -Battle- and the theme that plays after one of the protagonists gets their Persona: Ill Face Myself - Slow Version. Watch this snazzy bit of cinematic sugar below… The opening cinematic offers a glimpse of this anime style, accompanied by a brand new song by long time Persona composer, Shoji Meguro. In addition to remastered visuals, new characters, new story elements, and additional voiced dialogue, the game features all new anime cutscenes. Persona 4 Golden is the upcoming Playstation Vita remake of the Playstation 2 classic roleplaying game, Persona 4. But the recently unveiled intro movie for the upcoming Persona 4 Golden is so bright, fun, and just plain weird that it might become the first intro you never skip. The only other times we seem them is when we get a phone call while booting up a game, and we let them run over and over while we try to get our parents and/or significant others off the phone. We watch them once, maybe twice, when the game is brand new. Intro movies for video games don’t get much respect. But until that day comes, you better believe I’m restoring Reach Out to the Truth to its rightful place as the main battle theme whenever I replay P4G.Take a look at Persona 4 Golden’s intro movie If Persona Live ever goes on tour, I’ll be enthusiastically waving my glow-stick for both songs while I witness the increasingly lavish stage choreography Atlus brings to these shows. No matter how catchy, no song can replace the one that kept me going through those times.Ĭhoosing between the two battle themes is like choosing between Inaba’s mega beef bowl or fried tofu fritters: You can’t go wrong, and either way you’re in for a memorable treat. It provided a backing track of purpose and determination as I faced down essay deadlines, temperamental office systems and mountains of data-entry tasks. Ever since I bought my PS2 copy of Persona 4 (along with a bundled soundtrack CD), its music has been part of my life. ![]() It’s a testament to the quality of both songs that I doubt there’ll ever be a clear winner, although I expect the deciding factor is simply which track you heard first. The original was followed by a heavier rearrangement from fighting game spinoff Persona 4: Arena, giving the show an unforgettable closing number which united performers and audience as they passionately screamed the chorus and admired Shoji Meguro’s impressively casual Stratocaster solo. In its heyday, it was the franchise’s ultimate crowd-pleaser, proving so popular the band played it twice in Tokyo at Persona Music Live 2012. The original’s tension and thematic resonance is gone, along with its ‘00s emo angst.īefore P4G’s release, it was unimaginable that Reach Out to the Truth could ever be challenged. If history is written by the victors, it’s just too soon for its outro’s claim “it’s time to make history, yeah!”. ![]() However, even if Time to Make History is a certified banger, its overconfidence hits a rare duff note. ![]() P4G brought in Benjamin Franklin (no, not that one) who knocked it out of the park with the game’s jaunty new intro. Don’t get me wrong, Time to Make History could take pride of place on any game’s soundtrack.
