Experience a thrilling murder mystery RPG set in the Japanese countryside. A mysterious chain of deaths remains unanswered and only you and your team of gifted supernatural sleuths can uncover the truth.

Develop strong friendships to aid you in battle, take direct control of your party in combat, acquire and fuse Personas, craft weapons, sign up for part-time jobs... You'll never be short of something to do in Persona 4.

We will be releasing a lot more info in the weeks to come. Stay tuned for new screens, videos, art, game details, and much more.

Who loves you, Faithful?

I sure love you, Atlus.



For the unfamiliar, P4 is only a few days away from Japan release. Guess they wanted to stop us from importing.


It's more of all the goodness from Persona 3, with more elaborate Social Links, a countryside atmosphere, and a 'murder mystery' setting(inspired in no small part by the Trinity Soul anime, I imagine).




I could not be more excited.

Here's the awesome opening, in the meantime:

damnit atlus, stop releasing games that I will have to go out and buy. What sucks about that is that's rather close to my birthday. However I'll probably hold out for an FES/Limited Edition set like they tend to do.

[Eggman]

4 probably won't have a FES version. I'd say just get it. I know I will. Merry Christmas hooray!

[Hiryuu]

I like unlinked quotes.

[Atmos]

That 'Includes Bonus Disc' bar really detracts from the cover's awesome.

My bad; here's the US trailer.

I don't know if that's enough time for me to finish The Answer.

[sinh(Lily)]

Yay for trippier(?) shadow designs.

** marks days before P4 release **

Japanese website. Can't remember if that's pre-release or not...

Japanese release is on the 10th, just a few more days.

I'm guessing it'll be rated M like P3 & Fes (even though they were rated B (12+) in Japan...)
