Persona 3 FES OST “Heartful Cry”

Cheesy title aside, this, I swear, is one of my favorite boss battle BGMs ever, being heartbreaking and exciting at the same time. I think this was the moment when I realized that the 20+ hours of mindless dungeon-grinding in FES - with minimal plot, increased difficulty, limited items and no healing - was worth it. Nothing says “I love you so I don’t want to fight you but I can’t afford to lose” like this. No, really, every time the sentimental piano intro trickled in and the camera panned across the field and the characters appeared on screen, I was like DDD:.

…I actually looked around YouTube for piano covers of this track, BUT THERE AREN’T ANY. WHY.

Persona 3 (FES) is now officially the longest game I’ve ever played, if you count the main storyline (The Journey; 85-90 hours) and the epilogue (The Answer/Episode Aigis; 25-30 hours). And to think my decision to try it was solely rooted on its aesthetics. IT’S JUST TOO (creepily) PRETTY TO PASS UP. I love the battle SFX, and FES has some of the most awesome boss battle BGMs ever. I never did figure out what “FES” stood for, though. (And considering how much I struggled just to finish this game, I shudder to think how much harder the older SMT games were… /FAIL)

katrinateh: Meeting James Jean was literally the highlight of my young artistic life. When you finally get to meet the hero you never would expect to ever see face to face, it does spell for an amazing experience. Getting to be first in line is just as other worldly. More so is getting a hug (there are pics. it did happen) But beyond the flurry of feelings, the awe and the deep-running emotions of utter humility shines a greater appreciation for the people who got me there. The sweaty hand holding, the awkward jokes, the chiding and the companionship… meeting James Jean would’ve been empty if it weren’t for the most amazing set of friends who I likewise could never have expected to enter my life. This year has rendered me speechless. Thank you- each and every one of you. You know who you are. I love you very very very much. Congratulations? XD I love James Jean’s art (mostly because of Fables), but I wasn’t hardcore enough to go see him, ahaha. *happy for you*

In the game of Chess, the word “checkmate” comes from the Persian phrase “shah mat” and it means “the King is dead”.

Hmm…I just asked my dad about this (he’s Persian), and he said “mat” means astounded. Though he looked it up in our Persian dictionary, and the word checkmate is included in the definition of “mat,” but nothing about death. So, we don’t know what death has to do with this…it should mean “the king is astounded.”

scratchme: I took this shot last July 31 in Makati during one of my photo trips with friends. This photo reminds me that there is beauty in imperfection. Those usually-unwanted little things, for example the blur in this picture, will disappear in the presence of better and greater elements, such as, in this photo, its symmetry. Omg, James. Spoken like an ID major!
