That's cuz Seekers of Truth has the motif from The Ultimate present in it.
The one that really stood out of place to me was Chie's theme. I like the soundtrack, but damn if it doesn't sound like a Sonic the Hedgehog song and not a Persona song.

Still fitting since she's the most important P4 character in it, from a story standpoint.
I can understand the naming contention though. Yes, the story was mostly about 3's cast I think. But, it was handled with 4 story telling conventions(facing yourself, etc). I really really REALLY want a Junpei and Yukari shadow confrontation in Climax, that's probably what I'm most excited for.
I'm gathering they were going for a "spunky" thing or something, but something more oriental probably would have been fitting for her. Of all the characters, I'd expect HERS to sound like it actually belonged in an action movie. Hell, come up with a "Trial of the Dragon" theme and call it a day.

Shoulda just parodied the Enter the Dragon theme and called it a day.

You didn't like Yukiko's theme?
It's not terrible, but it's not good. And importantly, it's not Persona.

Not all of his tracks are power metal. BlazBlue's is more symphonic metal with a dose of J-pop.
The soundtrack we got didn't really fit either and I'd prefer incongruously balls-awesome music to lesser, more fitting fare. That and I just want more games with metal sound to them. >_>
It's more symphonic power metal if we're being pedantic, but that's not the point. Persona isn't metal, it's rock.
Lol.
Well, I can half agree at least. But hey, Rising's soundtrack is totally metal, so at least there are people out there doing metal game OSTs.
Not liking one of the best of Kitajoh's tracks? With its awesome guitars? Dantis pls.
Kitajoh is at his best when he's doing his violin stuff. Most of his attempts at guitar driven music sound janky. There's a reason Konishi did most of the guitar tracks on P2, and why he did the guitars on Trauma Team.

He's a great composer. I think it's unusual for a game composer to do such complex guitar music. Rising had some amazing stuff, but they hired a professional guitarist so it was kind of cheating.
Extend's OST is really great. I love X Matic.

I hope we get one for Chrono Phantasma.
I don't like the remixed tracks, but the new stuff is great. Six Heroes Theme(for duels between any of the heroes, like Terumi and Hakumen).
That's a really great track.
Out of interest, what type of music does everyone listen to? I feel like most people here enjoy Meguro's stuff, so I'd be interested to know what else you all listen to.
I listen to anything I find interesting, really. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Delerium, which I came across because of its connection to Conjure One, who are one of my favourite bands.
Other bands I listen to a lot include Blind Guardian, Poets of The Fall, Breaking Benjamin, Tsukiko Amano and Michael Jackson.

My favourite bands are Pendulum, Anamanaguchi, Nightwish and Gorillaz, but I also really like classical, metal and the occasional bit of rap.
Part of the reason why Metal Gear Rising is my GOTY so far is that it's music was made for me. If I were to describe MGR's music in two words, they would be:

My favorite genre is electronic music, but I listen to everything from rock to classical to jazz to R&B to hip-hop, except country.
My favorite artists are BT, P.O.D., (early) System of a Down, New Found Glory, and Hawthorne Heights, to name a few.

I am very much a metal person. Symphonic, Gothic, Power, Folk, Stoner, Tech death, Doom, Drone Doom, Funeral Doom.
Warning, last two may include copious amounts of WTF.
There's also my occasional forays into Hip-hop,Classical and Electronic, but overall it's not an especially diverse collection.

So hey, if anyone's an Umineko fan, gearing up for the release of Ougon Musou Kyoku/Golden Reverie, our second translation project.
Even the creator approved!
Then maybe I can focus on Shadowrun.

英語パッチがあると、海外の方にもプレイしてもらえるのでとても嬉しいです。感謝します。CROSSもいつかぜひお願いします☆（竜
[And the English patch so you can play overseas travelers happy. Thank you. CROSS sometime take too ☆（Ryu) ]
Then maybe I can focus on Shadowrun.
Pretty much anything which Fulber helped write is their best stuff in my opinion.
Epica is one of my favourite bands. Still haven't gotten around to picking up Requiem For The Indifferent yet.
I always liked how aware and supportive he is of his fans overseas along with the translation patch.
Loved Umineko (except for the shit ending). Will look into this, thanks.

Yeah, I was told to contact him, and I was expecting something along the lines of a C&D, not 100% approval. Amazing guy.
It's a decent album, but don't go in expecting another Design your Universe. My favorites from RFtI are the Title track, Stay the Course and Deter the Tyrant.
BTW does MusicGAF exist?
SMT needs a Symphonic Metal track for a bonus boss. It just seems like it would fit together to me.

So I might be going to Comic Con in San Diego next year since my sisters are trying to go there just to cosplay. For whatever reason, they're now cosplaying at every event possible. Since this is Comic Con, I might join them unlike the other events. Time will tell, but for now if I do go I'm thinking of going as Kaito from Vocaloid one day and Yu Narukami for the other.
Anyone here might be attending as well? Yes, I know it's very early to say for sure.
I absolutely love the series. "This level of reasoning is possible for Erika Furudo." Never played the game, only been reading the manga which isn't done being scanlated.

Here and there, may want to check the Project Diva thread.
For the software itself, I don't think so.
As for Umineko, definitely play the VN if you can. The manga is at least more faithful than the anime, but it lacks this.

finished Persona 4 Golden. A tad confused
Does the epilogue take place in summer 2012 or summer 2013? And i haven't played P4A yet but if it takes place before the epilogue then it really lessens the impact of the epilogue imo
It takes place before the epilogue.
And surely it lessens Arena's story more than the epilogue?
Original Ending > P4A during the events of Golden Week > Epilogue later. Who knows where Climax fits in yet.
LOL, I won't even bother linking anything. I listen to alternative (as broad as that is) and pop as well.
Alternative what?

Non-canon.
id say Arena is more canon than Persona 4 Golden
Rock/pop

but the real question is, which would you like to launch out of a cannon.
Definitely Labrys.

but shes a better character than Aigis. Ken too.
How so? Her character arc is so generic.
Terrible response. Needs more kibosh. Redo it.
buddha0991

to be fair, Aigis is a better character outside The Journey.
If you're into preposterous 'please feel sorry for me' anime garbage, then sure.
Too much?
That's funny, because those songs just happen to be my favorite themes from P4A.
