It's for the PS2... A part of me wishes that Atlus chose a current gen console. Just think of the possibilities I mean. Then again, this way Atlus can reach a wider audience and even PS3-only gamers can still be able to play this game unless they own a 40GB.
I played the first Persona game way back, but I didn't get to play the subsequent sequels for some reason, even P3. But I have a feeling this one is going to get me back to series. I can't wait. |

Only complaint i have with P3, they didnt keep the japanese VO
but other than that, i m still buying this.... even if most of it is the same as P3, just wish they gives you all the goodies instead of re-releasing it again as another FES version

2008 officially became the best year EVAR!!!
FES US release plus P4 announcement=PURE OWNAGE! Will be getting this. I will say this, tho. The character designs just arent as eyecatching as P3's, but still pretty good, I guess. Other than that, it looks awesome. Weather map replacing Moon Calendar is pretty cool. The highlight of it all is FUTBOL!!! Cant wait to play some FUTBOL!!! Seriously tho, the minigames seemed to have been beefed up quite a bit, like the fishing minigame.

Still playing Persona 3, have yet to finish it, and it has been a pretty good game. Especially since I have a special edition with the original, japanese voices. When P4 comes out, I can only hope that there will be a special edition of it too. English dubbing really butchers the feeling.
Didn't particularly like of any of the characters either or the suicide theme, so if these are fixed it could be a very good game instead of "pretty good." |

If you have a modded PS2, I suggest you search for the key work "Persona undub" on mininova .
So they didn't keep the revoker this time. I'm quite sad, really. Music is still superb, and I'm glad that they still have the Tarot in the game (well...I only play P3, so I don't know Tarot is the tradition of Persona series or not ). Character designs are good. Battle system doesn't change much (or it is, but I can't tell, really ). And everyone wears glasses!! Too bad that we have to wait for another year to get the US version.

Let's wait for 3-4 years for this one to make it way outside Japan. May sooner if we lucky enough.
In my opinion, Persona 3 was a success outside Japan. Not just gamers, even so-called professional game critics like it too. I hope Atlus will be brave enough to release it outside Japan someday. |

Due to the success of P3, I'm kind of disappointed that they are re-using the same style again. For P4 i was expecting a game with a totally different style, art, and gameplay. U.U But anyway, I'm grateful that they are sticking to ps2 with this.

Liking the music already but not surprising when it's from the same composer as P3, Shoji Meguro. Still dark and mysterious which is what I like about the MegaTen series.
I wonder if these "bizarre serial murders" and "deformed corpses" are supposed to lead towards Trinity Soul that takes place 7 years later...?
