General Persona Thread

[Lazzie]

I posted a link about this in the Sony thread. It comes out this summer in Japan, and seems to be quite similar to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni in general concept.

[Buuhan1]

Never played a Persona game, what are they like?

[SSM]

They're all different pretty much. Strong themes of death and violence which is why Persona 2 was rated M.

I never played P3 unfortunately. I'm so glad this game is coming for Ps2 though.

[tonitonichopper]

It looks alot like Persona 3 with and one of the characters looks like he's from the Nocturne Shin Megumi(sp?) Tensei(Sp?) series.

Hope it gets a good soundtrack like Persona 3 too.

Persona was Megami Tensei series flagship in the US..
How sad if you are a RPG fan who like good/original storyline and have not played persona series..
Persona 3 did very well in the US.. Though its not closely related to the Megami Tensei series, its a great entry game for anyone who like to know more about the series (and doesn't hate dating sim game)..

[Yuara Pirate]

Persona 4 already? Didn't Persona 3 came out only like half a year ago?

[Senshi Mizaka]

I somehow missed out on getting this game. I was actually about to get a used copy, but I'm glad I didn't after finding out that FES is coming out here in a few weeks.

Didnt want to start a new topic for this..
But does anyone know where i can get the justice social link?

[Gekko135]

Very good game. Wish i had the time to play it more!

After Persona 3 Fes (Which I'm Still Playing The Journey)

I Watched The Final Trailer For Persona 4

I About Had An Orgasm
It Looks So Stylish
Is Anyone Pumped For The Release
Are There Any Thoughts (Good Or Bad)About The Series Over All

The cinematics and gameplay and random dialiuge bits and dating sim aspects that all are apparent in the trailer (and theres some actual japanese gameplay vids on youtube) Persona 4 looks to be entirely more of exactly the same of what part 3 brought to the field.

And considering part 3 is one of the best RPGs around, thats not a bad thing by any means.

On the other hand, considering I'm 120 hours into FES, and haven't beaten it yet, or the supposedly 30 hour follow up "The Answer" portion of FES, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to jump right into more of the same just yet. Hopefully there will be a lot more gameplay upgrades and changes that aren't immediatley obvious from just a few quick clips.

Looks great tho, and I'll definatley be buying it. Just might not play it for like, a year...

Same Here
I'm On 1/6 In The Journey & Havent Touched The Answer (Onward To Nyx) & Still Have A Long Way To Go
I Dont Have The Time(Oh Wait I Do) Or The 50 Dollars To Spend
I'm Waiting For Persona 4 Fes
But Its Good To Wish

[Senshi Mizaka]

I haven't been playing alot of FES because of school. But, I remember just getting Akihiko in my party. I still think this game is unbelievable, especially having my mind blow by the Evokers.

You bet I'll be getting Persona 4 if it's more of the same.

[Ao Kiji]

I am ridiculously excited about this game. Just hope I have the cash when it comes out!

[Robby]

Persona 3= Mature Pokemon + Dating Sim. It's awesome that way.

[Kiro Tsubuki]

Persona 4 looks beautiful. The graphics are great and the characters look awesome. All in all I think that Persona 4 is gonna be one badass game.

[Gaiyae]

Looks like this is out already. Anyone already get to play it?

[Bounty1Berry]

Well, I finally started it today (after blowing 96 hours of my life on 'The Journey' of P3FES, and being unwilling to touch 'The Answer' just yet).

It's stylish, but who exactly decided "let's use incredibly difficult to read fonts for the numbers, so you can't tell if you have 30 or 50 HP?" And way too much yellow makes my brain hurt.

And I'm a bit disappointed that the Evoker concept seems to be gone-- after it was put so delightfully bluntly here http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/8...bling-imagery/

[Gaiyae]

I'm almost done with this game (i want to get the good ending). And it's even better then part 3 IMO!

Playing on NORMAL difficulty and my highest persona is Satan (lvl 80). Almost all my personal stats are maxed, Most SL completed (even margaret, so i can get "the world" persona with a new game+).

Highly addictive!

[goty]

Yeah, i thought it was much better than 3 too. In fact, i'm trying to play "the answer" but it's hard to get into the previous game again when the gameplay was so much revamped in this sequel.
