    Can't believe I'm actually playing this.

    Usually I'm hardcore on like CoD 4, Rainbow Six, Dawn of War, Gears of War, and never expected myself to be getting and playing a j-rpg's of all things.

    But, this game is actually pretty fun... crazy how some videos can convince me to play this.

    How many of y'all gotten into Persona 4 from the endurance run?

    Teddy gets a lot better and he's actually one of the deepest characters in the entire game.

    After I played through Persona 3: FES.

    I vowed not to play another Persona game for a while...

    Fun... but eats up too much time. And a trip back to (yeah I wore uniforms, had s multi-cultural day, athletic day, and everything) high school, is nostalgic but something I'd rather not experience again... and again.

    Yeah, depending on how the rest of the ER goes, I may pick it up. But I've already listened to this stupid cartoon bitch about how lonely he is, and cower in fear when Chie yells at him. I'd rather not watch it again without Vinny and Jeff cracking jokes every 10 seconds to keep the videos interesting... and watchable.

    I bought it because of the Endurance Run and it was the best $40 I've spent in a long time. I too never would of seen myself playing a game like Persona 4 because I'm more into WRPGs such as KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Neverwinter Nights. 


    ::Pertaining to Teddie::
    My tolerance for Teddie was inconsistent. He went from good, to annoying, to awesome. Especially for one powerful event in the game I will not spoil.

    Because he's hollow inside? DOH-HO-HO-HO-HO!

    Seriously, until you've played through Persona 3, don't say anything about annoying support characters. Teddie and Rise are a step up. And I got P3: FES and P4 last week, I finally broke down.

    I'd really probably have never given P4 a chance until I saw the videos.  It got to the point where I could either do a paper, or play P4...I think you know the right choice...P4.  Beat it in a week and a half, and once school ends, I'm totally in for another go.

    That is subjective. Final Fantasy and its similar ilk are quite casual because they sell to a large audience, while something like Baldur's Gate is more hardcore with its extremely casual unfriendly AD&D 2ed ruleset. But I would consider Persona somewhat hardcore, if only because of how long it is.

    I am playing P3:FES instead, because it was cheaper and I have too much free time. That game has some minor issues that 4 fixed, such as the ability to directly control your teammates, and the writing for a lot of the side social links isn't as good. However, my enthusiasm for the game was somewhat hurt by my stupid brother deleting my save file, making me have to start the game all over again. I will finish it though.

    I always hated how srupid the AI can be sometimes in Persona 3, but I will finish it all the same. I'm 35 hours in and not about to turn back!

    The Endurance Run hasn't really made me want to purchase Persona 4 only because I don't feel like playing through things that I have already seen via the videos. It has however peaked my interest in the series and I will seriously consider purchasing Persona 5 if that game is ever announced and released

    I've been on edge to either continue playing through a second Persona 4 play-through (Got pretty far, mostly focusing on social links.) or finally start really playing Persona 3.

    But there's this thing called "life" that keeps getting in my way...
