Atlus teases Persona 5 Royal's New Battle Theme "Take Over"
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Eh I'm fairly sure I got pre-emptive attacks in P5 95% of the time, so this essentially replaces Last Surprise? Heh
Thank fucking god. I really like Last Surprise separate from Persona 5, but when paired with it, it was so incredibly tired after hearing the opening minute or so thousands of times over the course of a 100 hour game I didn't like that much.
Not in a million years. Some of those dungeon themes were baaaaad. Mementos? Zzzzz. Maybe if all you've heard from him is P3, P4 and P5 and only remember the best themes from P5, but there's plenty of duds in there. I definitely think it's one of his weakest OSTs.
Rivers in the Desert
Keeper of Lust
Blooming Villain
Last Surprise
Life Will Change
Beneath the Mask
Layer Cake
Price
Whims of Fate
The Days When My Mother Was There
That's a big fat NAHHHHH
I feel like the preview stops before it really gets good so it's hard for me to make a judgment but so far I like it enough.
I like the theme (at least from what we've heard here). Definitely different from Last Surprise but I think I can get used to this. Interesting that they're doing the reverse of P4G this time with the battle music. Now Last Surprise is gonna be the "Shit, I messed up" music.
I mean I think out of the Persona game Meguro composed for, then P4 wipes the floor with it. Love the good vibes that one has. And Digital Devil Saga definitely wipes the floor with it too. And Nocturne. You sort of played into what I was saying, you listed like 10 tracks, the majority of the P5 album is pretty mediocre to me still. Alright to listen to within the game but most of his other work I can listen to outside of the games, I just didn't get that from P5.
This is pretty much what I was going to write. Based on what we could hear of it in the Kasumi trailer I think I'll probably end up liking it more than Last Surprise but we'll see.
Nah. New theme should be the one you hear more.
They played the old theme for preemptive attacks in Golden and I barley got to hear the new music because of it.
Yeah, quite honestly, I think PQ2's soundtrack is better than P5's. I'd be happy for Kitajoh to take over from Meguro going forward on the series.
I just want to listen to LIGHT THE FIRE UP IN THE NIIIIIIGHT while playing in shiny HD graphics. JUST ONCE. <3
I'm not feeling it as much as Last Surprise, which is pretty similar to how I felt about Time To Make History. I like the parts outside of the hook, but the main hook uses those frumpy horns I'm not a big fan of.
I think it's fair to say that you may have liked P4's music better than P5's, but I wholeheartedly disagree that his work is getting worse overall. The range in P5's stuff was fantastic and I liked that it wasn't just repeating what I liked about P4. Guy's music still slaps IMO.

Oh man, I think that's what makes me like it so much. There are big band elements to Take Over that aren't in other tracks that I'm really into.
I like the concept of using horns, but I wish they'd use actual horns rather than that really old sound font at this point lol. It's such a trademark of Meguro's stuff at this point that I have a love/hate relationship with it.
For what it's worth though, I think this song rolls into battle a little better than Last Surprise did, even though, as of right now, I like Last Surprise more as a song.
I've never heard PV02 till now, it's really good
Real bummer that it's not in the game
It surprised me at the time, because Persona 4 had the instrumental version of the battle theme play during the first fight, but Persona 5 didn't follow in its footsteps. I figured PV02's track was designed for that.
Nah, the punishment for missing a preemptive strike was that you had to hear Time to Make History. It's this game that's got it flipped.
Time to Make History is way better though. P4G added some really good tunes.
As other users have said, I would have preferred they kept Last Surprise for pre-emptive attacks, the opening of the song is perfect for it - it was always so satisfying! It's still one of the few battle themes I'm not actually tired of yet, lol. I don't mind Take Over, but it seems like it would make a better normal battle theme.
I really like it. Tied with Last Surprise (instrumental) for me. I love the lyrics and they really fit the meaning behind when this theme plays.
