NA release? We'll probably get one since it apparently did well enough last year to mention in their fiscal report (and to prompt a mention of the then unknown P4).

There have been estimates ranging from the tail end of this year to mid Spring '09. Given just how long it took to localize P3, I personally lean towards the latter.

You're right, but we're in an era where more and more people are moving into the gaming industry area, and are the ones that think that "Oh pretty must equal good." :erm:

Well, after a good while we've got yet another scan for P4. This time it's got the crew in more familiar territory, including one of the S. Links from P3 (oh and the website has updated quite a bit since then):

Ah my favorite girl (Chihiro) from the previous game is back! This just made the game even better!

Damn, I have absolutely abysmal timing since right when I post that yesterday, ANOTHER character scan was revealed today. This time it's the handgun-wielding, detective freshman Naoto and his (huge doubts about gender here) Persona. It looks like's investigating the events around town while the party and MC's uncle does the same.

December 9.
$40.
CD with "select songs" included.
Atlus USA

I-Is it supposed to be ugly?

:(

Best news I've heard in a while. I'm glad they kept it at the $40 price point & tossed in a music CD again. Here's some of the info released about the game (in english):

I've known about the party being manually controlled again for a while, but part-time jobs? New weapon creation system? Improve party support? Doesn't sound like gaining new tactics to me. From some of the videos on the official site now you'll be able to form S. Links with male party members (the one I saw was Yousuke's Magician one).

A bring a small offering of how awesome this game is going to be. There's a lot more rock style tracks in this one but keeping to the tradition of offering a music style unlike any other RPG out there.

Get the Flash Player to play this audio file:

That track sounds pretty good. I honestly didn't care much for most of P3's soundtrack until after I'd heard it in the game, but this sounds like more typical SMT fare without the rap.

I completely missed that bit about party members being manually controlled now. That was one of the few really annoying things in Persona 3, so it's fantastic news that they fixed it. The AI was okay, but it was irritating how often they'd waste turns on Mudo/Hama skills or bring themselves to the brink of death with physical skills.

Well, since we're talking about the music . . . Atlus is presenting Persona Music Live in Tokyo. It's a live concert with music from Persona 3 (includuing FES), Persona 4 and the Persona anime.

EDIT: That track's pretty good. I have the OST from gamemp3s but I didn't get that far into it.

I'm definitely getting this. I just wished Atlus would've included more extras and stuff like the JP releases. Wouldn't mind paying a little more for the LEs.

(I haven't even opened my P3 LE. Been playing a burnt copy instead lolol)

Sup anyone wanna buy fursona 4

Dammit! I only have enough money for the MLB Power Pros behind you. :(

Oshi-

Is there an LE version for the JP P4? 'Cause if there is one with extras like P3's, I'm ordering one.

So....did you get the 5 finger discount? ;)

How geeky xD. Be careful though, if it's anything like P3, the game can be a bitch to play in Japanese, with all the slang used.

you should wait a week and buy it in a second hand store for a 1000 yen discount, did it with Fes and FFXII International and saved around 3000 yen.
