Persona 4 Arena + Ultimax Soundtrack
I had plans to upload a Street Fighter EX Soundtrack Collection (MP3 & FLAC) buuuuuut... I'm having trouble finding a good OST of EX Plus Alpha. I have everything except the OST for EX Plus Alpha (Zangief's theme, for example, isn't found anywhere else (aside from EX3) but in EX Plus Alpha), so I don't wanna upload that yet.
Anyway, with BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle getting close to release, I thought I'd put these out. The most important thing I looking forward to from that game is the appearance of RWBY (XD), but I decided to take a look at the other franchises (excluding BlazBlue because I already know about that series) to see what they're all about. I've heard so much about Persona so I thought I'd try out a game. I tried out Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP and... Couldn't get into it. lol Then, last month, I got Persona 3: Portable and...I'm in love. X3 Now I'm even more pumped for Cross Tag Battle since I have another franchise I like. However, I learned that Arena and Arena Ultimax existed and took a look at it. As expected, it looks fun and, obviously, looks like BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Under Night. I listened to the soundtracks and I knew I had to grab them ASAP. So that's what I did. However, I didn't want to be greedy so I'll share these to you all~!
Here's soundtracks for Persona 4 Arena and it's sequel, Ultimax. It was a little difficult to find these soundtracks (just like it is for the MVC games I did a while ago and, currently, Street Fighter EX) online, so I took the time to find and compile these soundtracks. This was a weird job to do because the OSTs I got are based on the Japanese localization. Here's how this'll go: FLAC will be untouched, but the MP3 will have tag edits so that it fits the English Localization. For example, the album name for Persona 4 Arena OST is titled "Persona 4: Arena Original Soundtrack" while it's originally titled "PERSONA 4 The ULTIMATE in MAYONAKA ARENA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" (with Japanese letters).
Let me just say that this whole thing was a pain and it didn't even need to be a pain. During the conversion process, I had somehow deleted all of the FLAC and MP3 files so that was 3 hours down the drain. Fortunately, I reacquired the FLAC files again and converted them to MP3 in less than 2 hours, so that's...less than 3, I guess. lol But still, if that hadn't happened, I would've been golden (no pun intended... In regards to...Ahem, Persona 4 Golden). Nonetheless, I got the OSTs and now you do too.
Same as with the Marvel vs. Capcom Classic Soundtrack Collection, this OST includes MP3 & FLAC. I found the lossless FLAC files first, then I converted them to MP3 via Audacity (Bitrate set to Extreme, 220-260kbps).
Again, the FLAC OSTs will have the Japanaese names that are translated to English while the MP3 OSTs will have the localized English names provided by Atlus USA. With that said, the track list down below will reflect on the localized English names. Also, both soundtracks include Scans from the OSTs' booklets, so there ya go.
Keep in mind that these OSTs include music tracks made EXCLUSIVELY for Arena and Arena Ultimax, so if you've never played Persona 3 and/or 4 and you're wondering why a certain song that was used in Arena and Ultimax isn't in this soundtrack, it's because Arena and Ultimax also use tracks from Persona 3 and 4 in the game (like Studio Backlot/Backside of the TV from Persona 4 or Master of Shadows from Persona 3). You'll find Character Themes, main themes, and other themes. You'll have to look at the OSTs for Persona 3 and Persona 4 to find the specific tracks you're looking for.

Can I just say that the text used in the Arena OST Album Art is boring as hell! XD It's just red text! They couldn't just grab the logo they made for the game?! X'D Seriously, the text used in the Arena Ultimax Album Art is more "eye-pleasing" than that! XD Although I do like the drawing of Yu and his Persona, Izanagi, I think Arena has a really boring Album Art overall but it does it's job, I guess. Arena Ultimax did it better (even if the picture of Yu is from the cover art lol). Actually, the Arranged OST for Arena did the Album Art better in both the US version and the JP version (I prefer the US version, BTW).
Speaking of the Arena Ultimax OST... A part of me wished that the album art for Arena Ultimax gave us the Shadow Yu Narukami version. The cover art for the game gave us a regular version of the art where all the characters are, well, normal; but then there's a "Shadow version" where (mostly) everyone is perceived as their Shadow selves. It's crazy and awesome (Shadow Yukiko and Shadow Labrys, anyone~?). Personally, for the Album Art, I'd rather have Shadow Yu stare at me than regular Yu (that sounded weirder than intended. lol) I dunno, the eyes of the Shadow selves look weirdly fascinating to look at. lol
Hope you enjoy~! If you got any questions and concerns, don't hesitate to ask me! ^_^
