It’s no surprise there may not be too many places to go (gas attendants and friends remind you constantly) but there are numerous events happening and even some nice references to Persona 3 like a field trip Tatsumi Port Island. You are allowed minor, functional distractions like getting a part time job and studying, which factor into increasing social links and skills.
The dense content may overwhelm some players, but most of you will enjoy this adventure as a constant go-to-game lasting you throughout the winter and beyond. Every presented element is used very well including the music score by composers Shoji Meguro, Atsushi Kitajoh and Ryota Kozuka, and excellent voice acting talent.
Persona 4 is a must have for RPG fans. I hope that a modern console installment or collection is on the horizon at Atlus. Also available is the Amazon exclusive Persona 4: Social Link Expansion Pack. It doesn’t include the game, but fans will definitely want these goodies which include a special 2009 calendar, T-shirt and music collection including exclusive tracks not presented in the Persona 4 game.
Persona 4 is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for alcohol reference, animated blood, language, partial nudity, sexual themes and violence.
