    Almost Better Than Chrono Trigger

     One of my favorite RPGs of all time. Continuing where Persona 3 left off, Persona 4 improves upon some of the criticisms of the last entry (lack of control over party members, limited music, lack of dungeon variety). The murder/mystery storyline kept my attention throughout the game and had some very gripping moments and character interactions. The beauty of Persona 4 is the amount of freedom and lack of repetition that characterizes so many other games in the genre. The player can choose to explore dungeons, develop social links, or build character skills, all of which improve the party and provide new rewards. While the graphics don't necessarily compare to the likes of Final Fantasy 10 or 12, the game has great visual style throughout. I would highly recommend this game to any RPG fans as I think this game and Persona 3 have more to offer than any other modern RPG on the market.

The game, despite its flaws, was able to live up to such a role and be forever ingrained in the PS2's history. N...

      Persona 4(PlayStation 2) by domstercool on February 28, 2009

      When it comes to the Playstation 2, there hasn't being a company right now as loyal as Atlus. Most other companies have abandoned the Playstation 2 to put their games on the main systems that are on sale at the moment. Atlus on the other hand are still releasing console exclusive quirky Japanese games on the very successful Playstation 2. For that we have to give a big thanks to Atlus. I'm sure a lot of Japanese RPG fans are extremely happy for Atlus to still be sticking to the system, which in ...
