I GOT P4!!!

As the title said..... I'VE GOTTEN MY OWN P4!(Persona 4, a ps2 game) it was released on the 9th of december. through MY experience, its the best ps2 game i've ever played, even better than the FF series i have to admit.the game play was made with good strategy planning style fighting, you'd have to plan your moves. there are many ways of playing though, not necessarily total planning. the story line is nice, but the first half hour is all talking. After that, the excitement kicks in! i'll tell about the storyline later.

The graphics, its better than most games, you cant really see any extra pixel blocks popping out any where, but the graphics cant beat NFS:Pro Street. no other comments.

Game play, if you had played the Persona, you should know the battle game play, but this time, you can actually control your allies than just giving commands as sometimes they wont follow your exact orders which is a pain..... The turn based system is a bit old but that's what strategy games are ALL about. exploiting enemy weaknesses, healing your party in time just before they are about to die, taking the time you need to plan your next move, all in very well made graphics and good character designs, the excitement just keeps going on and on!

Environmental designs, wonderfully made is all i have to say.Suits the whole storyline, AND the area is huge, well....more than the last game at least.....its like a not so technologically advanced village so things are a bit run down. They made it quite well. they really pulled it off! the rural village, the streets, the shops, the school, all in perfect rhythm. they all have the 'old and have been build many years ago'-look.

Voice actors, as usual, the protagonist is a quiet young man, you can only hear his voice during battles. i am not sure who acts the voice of who but there is one thing..... The girl called Chie, her voice is too tomboy-ish. makes me think she was a man...... the others are fine....there are also more dialog in the story this time. dialogs with voice.....

Storyline, finally we are talking about it. The storyline for the persona games are whacky, not stupid whacky, but funny whacky, their sense of humor is incredible. ok, 'you' are a transfer student from a big city. moving to this small village because of your parent's jobs, you then live with your uncle who has a daughter.the storyline goes as you go through a normal life. This IS persona, so there is nothing that is actually 'normal'.You go to school, meet new friends, adapt to your new home, visit places, go to the toilet..... then its the second part, the persona, it is your inner character, manifested into an actual being. your 'persona' are literally mythical beings like greek gods, demons, hindu philosophy and such. so then someone was murdered in your town and the police aren't able to figure out what happened, you found out that what happened were super natural incidents and the police will never believe those sort of things... you also found out the ability, persona..... and plan to use this power to save the villagers from being another victim of what is happening in this town. you and your friends will discover what lies within the potential of the persona and end the horrors that are occuring.

Praise the the people who actually read this far, truly, this game is THE BEST! and i doubt anyone will finish reading this and not get bored..... i am done, if you want anymore details, you may contact me anyway you want.(I doubt it)

AND i did not copy this out of some website or whatever, these are all my own opinions.
