    "I, for one, welcome our new Persona 4 overlords."


    And yet another member joins the Persona 4 cult. I think Atlus needs to be taking note of the small army developing here on Giant Bomb who will do anything and everything to maintain our love of the game. We could be a militaristic force to reckon with soon.

    Depth, just don't do what I did and play it for like 3 days straight with no sleep, then got the flu and missed a bunch of work... but kept playing it regardless for almost a week straight. 

    When I finally went back to work, everyone probably thought I was doing mad drugs or something, because my eyes were hella bloodshot. 

    Have fun, but play responsively! :p

    I need to buy a PS2 first before I get it... and I don't think that'll happen until I graduate in December.
    If I had a PS2 already I'd buy it and Persona 3 in a heartbeat, though...

    *heartbeat, heartbeat... keeps on pounding
    heartbreak, heartbreak... you tell me goodbye
    heartbeat, heartbeat... keeps on pounding
    heartbreak, heartbreak... you tell me goodbye*

    Think I'm showing signs of addiction, and 30 minutes a day weekdays only ain't enough...

    On a similar note, fun fact: When Persona 4 first came out back in December, I decided to throw studying for winter finals out the window and just play the game for six to ten hours straight every day. The wondrous thing is that it had been the third testing season in a row I ended up doing that; fall mid-terms were occupied with finishing up Persona 3 FES' The Answer chapter in time for Persona 4's release and then the spring finals before that were dedicated to beating the main portion of Persona 3, The Journey. In all, though, during my time playing Persona 4, I think I studied a whopping hour and a half and that was just to go over Japanese grammar and whatnot, since it's my major.

    Now, granted, I have a really good memory and as such don't necessarily need to go to much effort to retain information, but yeah, I'm probably a bad role model, too, so... you know, don't emulate me, either.

    That sounds like a call to arms...
    Has Atlus publicly made comment about the growing success of the Endurance Run? The amount of new fans created by these videos have been just staggering.

    The forum-goers know about it, but I don't think Atlus itself has ever really commented on it. Like they mentioned on the Bombcast a week-ish ago, though, Atlus probably does know about it since they probably could have asked them to stop if they really, really wanted to. But I am surprised it hasn't gotten a plug on their site somewhere, though. They're usually pretty keen on giving kudos to sites which acknowledge their work.

    Great to hear. P4 is an amazing game, and it definitely deserves all the recognition it's been getting thanks to the Endurance Run.

    Also, considering that my almost 8 year old PS2 works, I'm pretty sure that yours should work as well.

    oh man, I field that I'm ahead of the curve. Seeing so many people getting persona 4, I got Persona 4 and Persona 3 FES in December and never look back. I play, no-stop, the persona games for around 2 month and still playing P4 from time to time.  I'm at a point that I'm tried to get some P4 merchandise, I already got the Yukiko figure, now I'm look to see if I get the Teddie figure.

    Aram Jabbari follows Jeff on Twitter. Of course that doesn't necessarily confirm anything, but it does seem likely that he's aware of the Endurance Run, and maybe even watches it.

    Square Enix helped publish Persona 4 in Europe? Interesting.
    I will buy Persona 4 right after I finish Persona 3 FES. Of course, my stupid brother managed to somehow delete my data, so I won't be done for a while.
