In truth while Persona 3 intrigued me, Persona 4 is rocking the house. The music is better, the sidekicks less annoying (the human ones at least), the voice acting has greatly improved (though they either are reusing one girl too much or she's rubbing off on the other actresses), and decent even realistic situations arise - like someone desperately needing to go to the bathroom just when things get way weird and interesting.
Subtitles are not available, however, at all times. I think this is a disservice to deaf folks.
Gone are the guns! Due to my being from Texas and my casual disregard for kids who maim themselves copying video games, this initially did not register too high on my "Care-o-meter". But I know it bothered some people. Like Penny Arcade who did their comic "I Know A Guy" from Aug 8th 2007.
We've just begun on this game but my roommate went ahead and bought it straight up.
While you sadly do not get a book of artwork with it this time, you do get another disk containing the 24 song soundtrack. I have already uploaded this info via windows media player so when you pop yours in, the titles should should up fine now. Sorry about the lack of album art - wouldn't let me paste it.
This game is every bit as good as the last and even better. It even has more of a horror aspect I feel.
Down side: WAY TOO MUCH TALKING. Honestly. Story is good, exposition is needed, but rehashing and whining get a tad out of hand on this in the beginning. An entire hour can go by with the main character being asked only 2 things and making one decision.
This is a definite recommended BUY.
