I'm still surprised that this is a random encounter theme, seriously, in most JRPG's this theme usually represents "the danger of battle" (although it's not something that dangerous), but this theme I feel represents the "heroism" of the characters, Shoji Meguro was really motivated to make the musics of Digital Devil Saga
Tbh, it's just that really. The embryon tribe are very competent in battle, so I feel like it makes sense to have a random encounter theme like this where this is just an everyday thing for them and they know they'll come out on top no matter what.
Also like in dds1 there is still that theme of danger but this feels like more of a spar or something. Kinda shows how the group is so advanced and used to battle that a battle to the death feels like sparring to them
@@milfmacron i prefer it to 2s, honestly DDS1s OST is probably my favorite megaten soundtrack due to the consistent atmosphere that pervades throughout every song (even the battle themes). Just because its not energetic doesn't mean its bad
That's a little extreme, and I say this as someone whose favorite SMT spin-off is DDS. In terms of being way too rocking for a random encounter theme, I'd say "Battlefield - Rushing Life" from 7th Dragon 2020-II takes the number one spot, even if this is my number three. For the record: my number two favorite random encounter song is Brain Hopper from Shadow Hearts, but that's more of an atmospheric piece than either this or Rushing Life. Wouldn't work nearly as well in a less dark game than SH.

These 2 games were my first megaten games. My dad owned both games on ps2 and so when I was like 8 i decided to pick up one and had no clue what I was doing. I picked up 2 because I didn't have much of a concept of playing games in order. I got to the battle and I may have died but holy shit did I love the battle theme. I dropped the game after that and just realised I had them after getting into persona via p5r and finding out that persona was a spinoff. Thus started my addiction to megaten.

Digital Devil Saga HD Duology when Atlus? Replaying this epic series on modern hardware would be amazing & this banging OST needs to be heard by more people
It's impressive that the music alone can make something like a JRPG battle feel frenetic. It's just navigating menus, but it's the most intense menu navigation of my life.
I liked the first game, but the PAL version was so damn slow, and the difficulty curve toward the end was ridiculous. So imagine my surprise when Digital Devil Saga 2 starts up running silky-smooth, and with a kickass soundtrack to boot. So far, I much prefer this over the original's battle theme.
Used to play this when I had either a hour left to turn in an assignment online in college or whenever I had a timed test online to finish in 30 minutes or less!
Atlus never misses with its battle themes god damn, they go hard like the world itself balances on their ability to release a banger battle theme in every game they drop
I've never played a "true" SMT game yet (gonna get to that after I play through all of the mainline Persona games), but GODDAMN this might be one of my favourite battle themes ever
Anybody telling you that is coping beyond belief. VGM is every bit as valid as any other form of music. Close minded people aren't worth the time of day.
