      Nah there have been good tracks in all of them but the number of great tracks has grown with each installation and 5's entire soundtrack is fire.

      I can't remember any songs from 1 but the battle theme, 3 has like five or six good tracks, etc.

        3 has way more than five or six good tracks that entire soundtrack has few moments where it actually lags (I'm thinking of Tartarus really since it really drags but even then, when you get to block 6 that shit kicks ass and actually Ark from P5 reminded me of it). 4 is the worst Persona game in terms of soundtrack; 1 & 2 don't exist in Atlus' eyes so they don't count here either.

          1 and 2 sure get ported a lot for games that don't exist.

          The only themes I can remember from three are the Dorm theme, the French school theme and Burn My Dread. I can remember like 3x that many tracks from 4, probably because the soundtrack is a lot more strongly themed, a trend that continues and makes literally all the music in 5 memorable, even the cutscene background music.

            1 and 2 sure get ported a lot for games that don’t exist.

            Weren't the last (and only?) ports for both of those for the PSP?

            Honestly I'm surprised you consider 4 to have more memorable tracks than 3, because I can't think of any from 4 beyond Heaven, Pursuing My True Self, Time to Make History, and I'll Face Myself.

            3 (counting FES and whatnot, of course, since I'd lump P5 & Royal as well as 4 and Golden) has Memories of You (and the School), Brand New Days, When the Moon's Reaching Out to the Stars (maybe the best daytime track in the series besides Sunset Bridge at the end of P5R), and Joy. The like ten thousand versions of Burn My Dread are just a bonus. :jordan-eboy-peterson:

            I will admit that P5 & Royal's soundtrack does genuinely slap and is the most thematically consistent. It probably goes Royal > P3 = P5 > P4 > 2 > 1 imo

              Guess it's just a personal taste thing but the only one of those I said "oh shoot yeah that was particularly good how did I forget that" to was Memories of You. I totally disagree w/r/t to daytime themes, Heartbreak, Heartbreak, Your Affection and Tokyo Daylight all hit better for me.

                Fair enough. P5 and Royal both have stellar 10/10 soundtracks so really it is just nostalgia/preference for me ranking 3 over them. Can't wait for my vinyls of 5 and Royal soundtrack to fucking ship hopefully soon. Being able to play Our Light over my speakers as I moodily stare at the ceiling is going to be worth the price alone

              I actually home-brewed my 3DS not too long ago (specifically to play SMT IV mind you haha) so I'll probably just pirate it since it's still full price on the 3DS eshop :virgil-sad: :

          . Don’t blame the music for the Hardware limitations.

          haha I meant it as a compliment to the soundtrack as in it deserved a system with better speakers :ohnoes:
