Those that have played a Shin Megami Tensei or Persona game are likely familiar with the franchises' iconic soundtracks, which have been supplied by composer Shoji Meguro since the original release of Revelations: Persona back in 1996. However, after 25 years of creating legendary soundtracks with the company, Meguro is leaving Atlus to pursue his dreams of creating his own RPGs as an independent developer. In a video interview posted to YouTube, he explains that for the past five years, he's been learning how to make games in Unreal Engine 4, even going so far as to apply to the GCL Round 1 Recruitment, and eventually getting the backing of Japanese video game publishing company Kodansha.

This doesn't mean Meguro will no longer be composing soundtracks for Atlus, either; he's left the company on good terms and plans to still make music for their games in the future, just as a freelancer.

Only those who have signed the contract, are able to get in here.

Atsushi Kitajoh, who did Persona Q2's OST, is probably will be helming as the composer for awhile

Then Persona's royally fucked.

I kinda worried now if they indeed make a persona 6.... not having him in future soundtracks is a huge risk for the franchise's identity!

You'd never see him codiiiing

Then Persona's royally fucked.

Atsushi as talented as Shoji himself. I highly suggest playing Persona Q2
Dont diss people when you never heard their music

I played Persona Q2. I heard the music. I'll state it more emphatically. Persona is imperially fucked.

Are you also like whenever Nobuo Uematsu doesnt score a Final Fantasy game? Its really not a healthy mentality

I don't give a fuck about Final Fantasy or Nobuo Uematsu. I'm touched that you care about my mental health, though. I truly am.

That doesn't stop Q2 from having a shitty soundtrack. Also, your grammar needs adjusting. Work on that before you come for me next time.
