Repetitively suicidal magical teenager news now, with Atlus Japan lifting the lid on its PlayStation 2 follow-up to
Persona 3. Confirming
earlier reports,
Siliconera has revealed that
Persona 4 is scheduled to arrive in Japan on July 10th, complete with a new weather system. Though a meteorological forecast might not sound like the most exciting addition to an RPG (unless its the name of a spell), consider that misty days will signal someone's untimely demise in
Persona 4.
There's no word yet on whether Atlus USA will bring the game to English audiences, but with
Persona 3: FES preparing to make the jump, we'd be surprised if this one remained in Japan. In the meantime, you can pop by
insert credit for some
Famitsu magazine scans showcasing the franchise's recognizable art style.

I really hope they bring this to the US. I loved P3, and plan to get P3FES. I just wish they would do something for the 360 with the SMT games.

Expect the first one to take a while. Then once they get a bank of reusable assets, then they'll start churning out the sequels.

Atlus Japan just confirmed that their only going to print up 4000 copies of Persona 4 for the Japan release and the future U.S. release. Another Persona game that you won't be able to find in stores.(PERSONA FUCKING 3!!! IM LOOKING AT YOU!)

The character designs look bland compared to P3's. Still play it though.

Persona game series are no.1 rpg now days.. cant denied that, coz they got a strong storyline and a cool animation.. guest that enough to prove p3 is a great rpg.. maybe a little better then ff series.. d(-_-)b
