Persona 4; A Classic PS2 Game

Gamer Limit writes "Late last year, I had the pleasure to play the fantastic Persona 4. I still remember the days where I would stay up 'til three in the morning playing this game nonstop, telling myself "just one more day." I was so hooked into this game that I put games like Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 on hold."

It's one of those crazy games that you need to play, even when part of you is saying to stick with the next gen.

1.1 - i agree
just one more day ... where should i go ?

do i train ? or do i level up a social link ?
oh that's right i needed this item for this quest ..

Oh if i fuse this persona like this maybe i can have this ..
or should i use with that ?
crap it didn't work time to load the save and try again ...

Persona 3 and 4 are the perfect exemple of how a GOOD gameplay and a good story are more important than Hd graphics .. of course these two games have an awesome style and presentation but it's really the fun and the freedom you have in customisation of your story and main characters that make it a winner !

You're not a rpg fan if you haven't at least tried it ..

Persona 4 is the best RPG I've ever played thats come out on the PS2.

And thats despite Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XII, Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II.

6 - How is a year old game a classic?
Next you'll be telling me that Sakura Taisen just announced for the PS2 is a classic and that everyone worth their JRPG salts should buy it ASAP...

It's just one of those games where you'll know it's a classic after you beat it just like Valkyria, Portal, etc. Anyways, the article has a different title on the site.

@Godmars290

I had the exact same thought despite how incredible P4 is. Stickler for diction is all. It's definitely one of the top JRPGs on PS2. Hell, I recommend it over most next gen titles.

Of course everyone will incorrectly take that to mean I'm hating on the game because I hesitate to call it a 'classic'. Despite my praise. :/

Actually, I was joking. Thought that people would read past the title to the read payoff that is a Sakura Taisen title finally coming to the West.

Of course P4 was an instant classic. Just like all other Persona games before it.

Ha, I sure wasn't kidding. I'd never call something classic that quickly. Of course I tend to get bogged down in minutia and two hour conversations about what to call Magna Carta. KRPG? ERPG? *shrug*

Let's just leave it at 'Persona 4 shouldn't be missed by any serious gamer' :D

I just beat this game w/ true ending...it made me bawwww. This and 3: FES are two of my favorite jRPGs easily. I prefer the story to three (as I believe it fit the Persona mold better) but the gameplay and mechanics of 4 rocked 3. Everything wrong w/ 3, they fixed in 4.

This, along with Persona 3 FES, are must-haves for any JRPG fan. Atlus also just released Devil Summononer 2, which comes in such nice packaging, that I didn't want to open it:

Persona PSP remake first :D. Having J-pop songs for the game is a little weird though considering the first one is dark; it just doesn't fit the mood. The soundtrack rocks though - been listening to it nonstop at Youtube.

Never played any of the Persona series, but from the article and people's comments, really thinking I should get around to it.

Just a bit mate! They are great games and SoTC pilgrimages apart the single best reason for b/c on the PS3. I didn't think they could top 3 but Persona 4 was even more amazingly well thought out.

Simply amazing games-I reallt pray that when they make the HD jump that they can keep the feel and incredible gameplay AND get some lush gfx on the go-Persona with great looks(not that the quirky style of the easlier games is bad as it isn't it has character)would seriously rock my world! Lord only knows where they can take the next game-they haven't put a foot wrong with the last two.

They're amazing games, but you need to have a lot of free time. They're incredibly long.
