Hearing Battle For Everyone's Souls in the game when I played it all those years ago (my first Persona game) was freaking mindblowing! The build-up to the final confrontation is epic and the song delivers the epicness of it. I was at the time used to the classic jRPG soundtracks and P3 blew me away with how different they approached it, and very effectively. The game is kinda dated these days given the next installments follow the same formula but improved, but still that first experience is hard to match, I keep going back and forth whether 5 or 3 is my favorite

Honestly, I kinda prefer the way P3 did things, at least as far as the story structure. It's not as segmented as P4 and P5 are with "story segment, free time, story segment, free time, etc.". It's a lot more mixed together. P3 would be like "We interrupt your free time for some breaking plot!". Some people may not like it, but I did. It made everything feel more natural than it did in P4 and P5. The music itself is pretty mind-blowing even by today's standards, too. Not just the fact that they were able to put music like that in a video game that old, but just the music itself is amazing. It's still my all time favorite OST even after having played P5R.

All while you have that hard rock playing up until you hit those velvet room vocals hit, that payoff is incredible when you see it for the first time
