The Persona RPG series has been nothing short of a cult classic among its peers for well over a decade. Starting from humble beginnings as a Shin Megami Tensei spinoff, the Persona series has grown to its own household name separate from its original base.
With such a large success, often raising the bar with each release, a major drawing point to the series lies in its music. Blending elements of hip-hop, jazz, and pop music, the distinctive sound that Persona is known for is accredited largely to composer Shoji Meguro. Live performances via the vocalists of some of the iconic songs within the Persona series are also a part of the experience.
With so much fan interaction and appreciation, it comes as a surprise that there is a lack of an official way to access the soundtracks for casual listening. Aside from the ability to purchase the album on Apple Music, there is no official way to stream Persona 5’s soundtrack, much less the rest of the Persona series. That all may change in the next day as AniPlaylist tweeted an announcement that the majority of Persona’s soundtracks will release “at midnight, on January 5th.”
What’s interesting about the list of games included on Spotify is the inclusion of the concert soundtracks, as well as spinoff titles Persona Q, Persona Q2, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Persona 4 Dancing All Night. Notably missing from this catalog is the original Persona, Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight, Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight, and the newest Persona 5 Strikers.
A concern for most Persona fans is whether or not the soundtracks themselves will be region-locked. It’s not at all uncommon for soundtracks from a different region to be made accessible within that region alone. However, with so many other Sega IPs having their own soundtracks released on Spotify in the west, it’s safe to assume that Persona fans can enjoy the tunes that span across generations.
