    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

    Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 10, 2008

    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. It is chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Like its predecessor, its gameplay combines a traditional role-playing game with elements of a social simulation. Its critical and commercial success spawned a sizable media empire, including several spinoff titles.

    Has anybody decided to purchase Persona 4 due to endurance run?

    It's so hard to find other than on the internet.  Luckily a local store placed an order for a couple copies and let me reserve one.

    I ordered it 2 weeks ago and have been enjoying it since. Plan on getting P3 after too. All because ofthe endurance run, which I owe a lot to for making my day that much better during the week.

    Then why in the world would you be in the Persona 4 forum?

    They placed an order for only a couple of copies?  I guess these types of games always sell better in Japan... (especially when the game actually takes place in Japan)

      JRPGs are not terribly common around here.  I was lucky to find Tales of Symphonia back when I was little.  Most people here won't touch them.  The guy who sold me P3 said he had played through it and 4 multiple times and that it's too bad more people don't play them.  I'm really into P3.  Especially when I named my character named Billy Mays.  It just makes it funnier. "Billy Mays felt a surge of energy inside!"

    I was always interested in Persona, I just never went all the way to actually pick it up. Endurance Run pushed me over the fence.

    I bought this game and a few others because of the Endurance Run.  It should be here around Wednesday.  I also had to buy my second PS2 because I sold mine a few years ago.

    I bought a new PS2 (sold my old one a long time ago), Persona 3: FES and Persona 4 because of the endurance run. I have a new love for Atlus :D

    i bought persona THREE because of the endurance run, because i knew that playing the game as i watch endurance run would only one of the experiences if one got ahead of the other so i bought the last one. similar gameplay and style. cheaper and most importantly not the same story. although there are some things in P4 that should have been in P3 and vice versa that can get on my nerves

    Keep watching you can make diferent choices than they did and while the overall plot doesn't change you still see stuff thats new.  For example they haven't doen much with the day care job which is actually a good SL since it raises understanding and pays you as well as upping the SL.  Choose the opposite team and club

    It made me want to get P3, oddly enough, since watching the ER is like playing it, but now I'm seriously considering buying it so I can experience it for myself.

    I can vouch for that claim, however there are some problems that can come up.  Only obvious thing during my playthrough was that the location bubble in the lower left hand corner of the screen remains black the entire time instead of displaying your current location.  Also, you have to double check when you save to make sure you didn't simply erase your data file instead of saving over it.  It happened to me once before after I was grinding a few floors in one of the dungeons and came back to save to find an empty file waiting to be saved on top of.

    Ofcourse. 
    And I have to say, were it not for the endurance run, I doubt I'd ever given this game a shot. 
    Because, generally, I have a very hard time enjoying turned based combat. But I feel this game has a lot else going on that makes it all worth it.

    Ha! My PS3 isn't backwards compatible and I'm borrowing a PS2 just to play it, well that and Persona 3 FES.

    Got a general question, since I just bought Persona 4, should I stop watching the endurance run? I love it to bits but I don't wanna ruin it all. That said I'm gonna play Persona 3 first so I might have forgotten...maybe.

    After finishing P4 because of the ER (twice!), ive just started P3 FES and its going good so far, but seems to lack the "group of friends" scenario so far.

    I bought it, AND P3FES for good measure! All because of the ER. I'd sworn off of Shin Megami Tensei after hating the first eight hours of Digital Devil Saga. My wife isn't watching the ERs, but she'd wanted to play P4 for a while, so she gets the controller. Plus, now I can answer all of her questions, like: "Where is Funky Student?" and "Should I cast Bufu on this boss?".

    Yes, bought it and beat it as the result of the Endurance Run. Haven't been that absorbed into a single game in years. It was pretty much all I did for three weeks. Was awesome. Next on the list is Persona 3 FES. Basically, I'm a big fan of Atlus now thanks to Giant Bomb.

    I've already played through P4 and love the hell out of that game. now starting P3: FES and so much is different. I'm just after 4/27 and im going to do tarturas (Excuse my spelling) but it seems like the game can keep track of your progress but not allow you to warp to that level. Is this true or am I missing something?

    Every few levels you run into an elevator that works both way (ie right before mid bosses for example tough they are others).  Basically unlike P4 where it was in you best interest to fully explore each level before moving up, in P3 you should really rush up the stairs at first to find these checkpoints and then do circuits between the checkpoints to build up you levels.
