I loved Persona 3’s Intro when I first popped in my copy. The song is catchy, and the Animation itself is quite interesting and awesome. Granted, I still haven’t beaten the game yet (Blame it on Siren and MGS: The Twin Snakes which I just beaten (Hooray!).), and with me planning on getting P3: FES (The “Expansion Pack” of Persona 3), there is no doubt I’ll be getting this also.

Now I’m relatively new to the whole Shin Megami Tensei series; let
alone the Persona series, but Persona 3 hooked me right in. It’s one of
the best RPGs I have played in quite a while, and it’s pretty unique
(with it’s Dating Sim-esque gameplay. And before you ask, there’s no
“iffy” stuff.) Even though I haven’t passed the event in which me and
my class go to Kyoto on a class trip, I’m working up the courage to
actually play the minigame of dodging girls in the Hot Springs because
your best friend duped ya into thinking it was the guy’s turn in the
springs.

So, it’ll be common sense that I would be damned
excited for Persona 4 on the PS2 (No, I don’t care if it’s still on the
PS2, I dun wanna spend $600 on a PS3…yet.) And finally, we get some
juicy details on the game:

“The sequel to one of the best RPG experiences on the PS2 so
far moves the action from the city to the countryside, with the story
taking the form of a murder mystery, chock full of twists and turns
that will leave you guessing. The game includes a weather
forecasting system that indicates when a murder is going to occur.
Atlus is packing tons of gameplay into the new title, with 60-70 hours
of gameplay and over 180 Personas (Personae?) for you to play with.”

…”…countryside…murder mystery…twists and turns…”…

My goodness, it’s Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni in Persona version. I’M SOLD. I WANT NOW.
