and good lord am i excited about this game

i was mainly interested in it because it has the only non-two-dimensional gay character in living memory

but it turns out it's a small-town mystery story as well with elements of the tarot that takes many cues from Japanese mystery, Agatha Christie, and my man AC Doyle

you play as a city boy high schooler who rolls into this sleepy hamlet town to stay with a distant relative while your parents work out of country

he's a single parent who lives with his daughter. turns out he's also a homicide detective, and the first day you're out and about in the town, they find a dead body hanging from a television antenna.

I'm excited to find out more. it's probably the only element of japanese culture that i'd be willing to buy a statuette from.

have you guys played it you totally should

    scooby doo wasn't structured around the major arcana, so i'm gonna assume that's a massive oversimplification

    Yeah this game is pretty rad.

    I have not gotten super far into it because I have crap attention span with some games but what I've played was fun.

    Persona 4 is pretty great! I should really get my copy back from my friend sometime so I can play it instead of just watching Giant Bomb's endurance runs.

    Yeah I just watched the giant bomb endurance run. I don't know if I could have tolerated all the grinding.

    It actually seems like most of the grinding wasn't strictly necessary for what they were doing. But it's still a JRPG, so, yeah.

    I should get a sound bite of "TRIAL OF THE DRAGOOONNNNN" that loops for a bit, and spam that in TF2 whenever I go melee heavy.

    Gawd P4 is soooo good.

    I had gotten to the last boss (True, ultimatewhatever ending) and had saved before fighting it. Next day, I load it up and oh no my data (both of them) have been corrupted. If you're playing on the PS3 with internal memory I suggest keeping an eye on that, and maybe keeping several backups.

    As a result I never actually beat the game. Putting in that much time and effort to only have it gone in the blink of an eye gave me a heavy grudge against it. I should really forgive it and replay it over summer.

    I enjoyed P4 for a while, but I started playing it right after I finished P3 and I really could not stand for 50+ more hours of the gameplay

    I mean it's not awful or anything, but after a while I just wasn't having fun with it anymore, started to feel really repetitive

    That being said, I really dig the Persona visual style, and really enjoyed the story up to whatever point I gave up at

    Will probably just buy Persona 4 and play it on the P S 2 before I move out since I ain't takin that thing with me to a dorm room.

    Yeah, chaining Persona games together doesn't seem like the best idea.

    Playing it on my ps3 would be nice.

    Taking out backwards compatiblity was so stupid.

    Nope, it really wasn't. Plus I can't be certain, but I feel like I wasn't a fan of the changes they made to the battle system. I don't really remember what either system was like though, so that could be a total lie.

    I still love SMT: Nocturne most of all, and if my first playthrough didn't take me like 90 hours I would consider giving that another roll
