Similarly the "Reminiscence" arrangements are once again written from a naive perspective. While very simple once more, it is bound to endear to listeners with its funky synth and naive melodies. At the start of the soundtrack, the new main character Maya is portrayed with an arrangement of her theme from Persona 2: Innocent Sin. However, it's still quite clear that the game is set within a high school. Some of the changes will be difficult to accustom to, but it is ideal for representing the matured characters and darker storylines. Even the once vanilla "Time Castle" sounds enigmatic in Eternal Punishment while the already melancholic "Aoba Park" is given a heartbreaking piano-focused rendition. Meanwhile "Kasugayama High School" has lost its optimistic spirit in favour of downtempo electronica and eerie vocals. To further reflect the change in mood, the background music for "Seven Sisters High School" is a solid variation on the much darker B theme from Persona 2: Innocent Sin.
Though exciting throughout, it is especially stimulating at its guitar-laced conclusion. It establishes the pace with atmospheric electronic beats and arpeggios before presenting the melody on convincing synth vocals. While short, the composition seems to be a step up from Persona 2: Innocent Sin both musically and technically.
"Opening" demonstrates right from the start that the soundtrack will be a dark yet action-packed one.
Let's take a look at the stronger of the two Persona 2 soundtracks. A lot of the soundtrack is comprised of arrangements or remasterings of Innocent Sin themes, but there are plenty of new compositions too. After a somewhat superficial and generic soundtrack for Innocent Sin, Toshiko Tasaki, Masaki Kurokawa, and Kenichi Tsuchiya offer a more refined and creative effort for Eternal Punishment. Eternal Punishment was a more dark and mature game than Innocent Sin despite its continued high school setting and shift to a female protagonist. Persona 2 actually comprises two chapters, the Japan-only game Persona 2: Innocent Sin and the worldwide sequel Persona 2: Eternal Punishmment. Persona 2 Eternal Punishment Original Soundtrack “Map I & II” and “BGM II” are remixes of “Change Your Way”.Persona 2 Eternal Punishment Original Soundtrack :: Review by Chris “Aoba Park”, “Sumaru TV”, “Abandoned Factory”, “Amenotrihune” and “Monado Mandara”, “Velvet Room” are all great tracks. It is slow moving but there’s a nice beat to it. Here are other tracks worth listening to: “Club Zodiac” – This music is cool. I also liked the battle and boss battle music, as they were fast-paced. I personally enjoyed the opening theme, which had a mixture of techno and opera music. There are many good tracks I can pick out from these two CDs. The Persona Rock music was nice but the vocalist’s English was so broken that it spoiled the entire song in a hilarious way. Persona Mambo sounded cute but it was in Japanese, so I couldn’t understand. Nevertheless, there was an addition of 2 extra tracks that I didn’t hear in the game – Persona Mambo and Persona Rock, which are both vocal songs. I prefered the original one because it sounded less mechanical. It only lasted for a very short while… Track 26 of disc 2 is the remixed version of the last boss music. I was also quite disappointed that the original last boss battle music was added into a mixed track. However, the theme song of the game “Change Your Way” (vocal song played at the ending) was not added into this CD. This soundtrack comprises mainly of techno and dance tracks and that’s why I really like it. But whoever he is, he has done a great job on this soundtrack. This is also the first time I’ve ever heard of Masaki Kurokawa.
