    I've played about half the Final Fantasy games, Tales of Symphonia&Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Chrono Trigger.


    I love RPGs in general, and love JRPGs as well, especially turn-based ones. I love games with good storys, and interesting characters. And I just bought the game off ebay (since none of my local retailers have it, and one game store even asked what it was).

    So, just HOW much will I love this game? Get me excited.

    You will open the game, play about 3 minutes of it and hate yourself. You will go outside and kick your dog, yell at your mother, hit-and-run a kid on his bicycle, then spit on your great-grandmother's grave for giving birth to your grandmother who gave birth to your mother who gave birth to you, in spite for allowing you to play this game.

    Like that, but the opposite.

    You will love this game more than a puppy that carries around free cans of your favorite ice-cold drink. The puppy is also a ninja.

    If you love almost anything FF, imo persona 4 is far higher quality of a story and interactions that any FF has offered, so I think you'll love it plenty.

    Persona 4 is one of the best RPGs i've ever played; so ya I think you'll enjoy it. It actually got me into purchasing more Atlus games hoping some of their older titles and am waiting on Devil Summoner 2 now.

    Think about how awesome it would be to punch a hole through space-time itself, allowing you to mess around with the timeline as much as you wanted.

    It's almost as good as that.

    The question might not be how much will you like it, but rather you haven't played it yet?  Seems from the games you've listed that it's right in the wheelhouse.

    You see, I really don't like J-RPGs, but I love Persona. Seeing that you like that Genre means that this is pretty much the best game ever for you.

    Yep, thats exactly how I feel about it, as well as all the other Atlus RPGs with similarities to the SMT games. I am definitely not a fan of JRPGs at all, but I always somehow enjoy these a ton...usually as my favorite games of the entire year too. Hopefully that tells you a lot.
