Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

Persona 4 is the Playstation 2’s new king of JRPGs and is awesome sending off for the system. Every single man, woman and child who has any interest in the story or has even the tiniest interest in the RPG genre has to check it out.

I can't recommend this innovative experience highly enough, and from first time visitors to the Velvet Room to jaded MegaTen fanatics, Persona 4 is an absolute must buy.

With a play time between forty and fifty hours, different difficulty levels, and multiple endings, Persona 4 will keep you hanging on for quite some time.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is the last great JRPG we'll ever see on the PlayStation 2, and one of the best on this platform, with an almost perfect combat system and a very beautiful graphic section.

Atlus' latest game for PlayStation 2 is with no doubt a masterpiece for this console. It takes the genre far away from what we're used to seeing nowadays. It's not the best JRPG so far, though, but it has all it takes to become an instant classic. If you're willing to enjoy a never-ending game with a immersive story and a lot of characters to deal with, do not hesitate, this is your best choice.

If you’ve never played Persona 3, then it’ll be overwhelmingly fresh entry to the RPG genre. If you’ve actually played Persona 3, then there have been more then enough changes to warrant a revisit through the world of Inaba.

As a swan song to the PS2 Persona 4 isn’t the highest note and all the bizarre characters, storylines and Personas you unlock can’t change that. But if you don’t mind grinding too much then there is some enjoyment to be had.

Persona 4 is probably the coolest game I've ever played. It's incredibly stylish, the music is jazzy nior and hip-hop ish and rockin' all at the same time. It has such a unique and tasteful modern aesthetic, and made me feel like magic could really be real in the real world, that's how immersive it is. All the characters have so much personality and they're lovable. The combat is challenging and worth playing on Hard mode. Collecting personas was really fun, even if you're not going to use them. There are so many personas, and they all look really cool, especially the end game personas. Only complaint is dungeons are a little tedious with the repetitive music, but gameplay still remains really satisfying

Very nice game. I think the story is the biggest advantage of that game. The second one is interesting gameplay - fusing persona etc. Things which are not the best: * Lack of voiceover for most dialogs * Generic dungeons

I was never really into the J-Rpg, but this game, even if you do not like it, is worth playing. 7.5

Although it is a very good game nice story and gameplay It is just too grindy Like when you play the game for 50 hours trying to level up you will only level up by 4 levels

This game has to have been written by a turtle with how slow it is, there is so much talking that ultimately goes nowhere in a majority of the cutscenes, and like Persona 3, everything between "Date A" and "Date B" where the plot will progress just feels like filler. The initial mystery is hooking, but when almost everyone's shadows center around their teenage angst and how flustered they are with their sexuality or gender, the mystery ultimately goes nowhere until much later in the game, taking a back seat for quite a while so we can watch what makes Kanji all hot and bothered... This game could go from 70+ hours to 15-25 if the plot was devoid of filler. At least in this one you can actually choose to control every party member...
