Persona 4
Which comes out today in Japan... And on December 9th in North America. Thus, I already have a Christmas list 2 items long: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and Persona 4. Tales of Vesperia will be added if I don't manage to save enough money until August. I should probably check how much new Xbox 360 games cost. Speaking of buying video games makes me sad that a local gaming store went out of business back in late June, so I'll have to go to some store that's part of a boring old chain of stores to buy games in the future, sigh~
Tangents aside, I'm suddenly interested in finding out information about Persona 4 because I've played Persona 3 (maybe I should see if I can manage to find the two before... or not) and because someone else mentioned it recently. This post will contain my reactions to information I can get off of Wikipedia and the official English site about Persona 4.Because I'm sure you're ever so interested in my opinions about info from the intarwebs.
It appears that it will be set in the countryside, hmm. I guess that means I'll get to have fun running around the countryside, woo! "suspenseful countryside murder mystery" Ahaha, and because it's the countryside, the police will be too incompetent, so a random bunch of teenagers with supernatural powers will have to figure it all out!
"Glasses (given by Kuma) play an important role in the game..." I think I'm going to like this game... Endless fanservice to all the fans of glasses characters, perhaps? Or maybe it will just be for certain characters? It's at least for certain that the main character has a pair. Either way, I'm happy about this piece of info. We have to destroy cards to summon personas? I have to wonder how that will work. Do the cards regenerate or do we have to carry a bunch of cards so that we can use a new one every time we need to?
So it seems that you can go into tv at midnight. Going into tv is an interesting enough tool, I suppose. It would also seem that the high school from Persona 3 will make an appearance... Ooh, Chihiro'll be back. She was one of my favorite Social Links from P3, sweet!
It's kinda disappointing that the only pictures of any of the characters available on wiki is on the game cover. Oh well, I'm sure there will be images eventually. Most of the characters seem interesting enough from the cover and the brief descriptions, but, but...
One of the characters is a STUFFED BEAR!!! He starts out as a support character and then can later be used in battle? Wow, good job Atlus, for coming up with something that ridiculous.
And gameplay will be similar, blah blah blah.
Well, that's all for now, as it seems all the official English website has to offer is some video, and my computer seems to be having trouble playing videos online. I'll restart my comp and try again.
Edit: Restarting the computer works wonders! I just watched the video on the website, and found a link on Atlus' forum to the 17 minute long Japanese trailer. It seems like the characters you'll get in battle will all get glasses. ^_^ Also, that is one weird stuffed bear.
