Social Link Go! (Warning: Persona 4)

This is basically to make up for not posting in a while. This topic is going to be dedicated to Persona 4 and thus will contain whatever the hell I feel like posting.

Anyways, things this topic will cover:


So to start...


Persona 4 takes place in the fictional, rural Japanese town of Inaba, which lies among floodplains and has its own high school and shopping districts. Unexplained murders have taken place in the small town, where bodies are found dangling among television antennas and their cause of death unknown. At the same time, rumor has begun to spread that watching a switched-off television set on rainy midnights will reveal a person's soulmate. Following the rumor, a group of high-school students discovered a fog-shrouded world accessed through television sets infested with monsters called Shadows. They also discovered each of their Shadow Selves, symbolizing their suppressed personalities. Confronting their Shadow Selves awakened their ability to summon beings known as Personas. Using Personas, the students form an Investigation Team to investigate the connection between the TV world and the murders, and possibly capture the culprit.


And on that note, this topic will end up just being a bunch of random images.

I've been told to get Persona 4 a few times. It seems to surround me.

I have Persona 4 and Arena. I like the RPG a lot and the fighting game is good fun when I'm bored.

Update: I made collective images for the games and the characters so the topic isn't so stretched, you're welcome.

Moving on, I feel that if anything people should give the anime a fair shot. The animation isn't anywhere near the best but the main appeal is seeing how the video game is adapted anyways. You can legally watch the main 25 episodes subbed for free here: http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Persona-4/Watch

The first dubbed episode is also free to watch if you care.

I agree, while I think that the people who will derive the most enjoyment from the anime are the ones who know a thing or two about the Persona verse, it's still an enjoyable anime. There are some cast changes from the game to the anime, Naoto has a different voice actor in the dub for example, but it's still fun and funny at times.

Even though this game look pretty cool, you have to deal with the average gamer mindset:

I think Yiobion's primary elements are TV shows involving a school.

Well, the school life anime is a VERY common genre, so yeah...

On a separate note, has anyone who has Persona 4 Arena actually managed to beat Score Attack Mode? I can't even beat the first fight. Stupid Infinite Sukukaja Yosuke...

I've been able to beat maybe four or five characters before losing. The furthest I've gotten is Teddie.

I was bored so I decided to play around with the Vita's screen capture feature.

From the new opening:






From the original opening:




Awakening:




Battles and Costumes:













I love being overpowered.

At GameStop, I was considering buying this just to make 84 proud. But then I realized I wouldn't play it due to apathy.

If you're a fan of the RPG genre, Persona 4 Golden is something I recommend. The original is a solid game by itself, and the Vita port adds a lot of new stuff.

Someone also needs to get Persona 4 Arena for PS3.

I luv persuna 4

I know this is mainly Persona 4, but anyone also play Persona 3? Both are great games. BTW, Merry Christmas!

Yeah I beat Persona 3 on PS3, it's only $10 on there so it's worth a look. That said, Persona 4 is a much more refined experience.
