There is something about this game that makes it amazing, there is a unique vibe to it, the characters even though they act like anime characters, they feel real (which sometimes might be weird).They start out as simple and plain and a bit typical , but as you progress in the game and complete their Social Links you start to see that they are more complex and interesting that they let on at the begging, and so you grow attached to the characters. This is the non supernatural aspect of the game. The supernatural aspect of this game is mostly based on the characters persona's, those persona's are part of the characters souls, they summon the personas to defeat shadows. Sounds simple and anime-like right ?The psychological aspect of persona 4 is rather interesting, once you enter the TV world (The midnight channel), you face a secret part of your inner self, the part you don't want to anyone to know about, your insecure part, and that part is your shadow self. And once the character defeats the shadow self, a persona is born.
The gameplay is turned based, and sometimes it revolves around strategy, you summon your personas in battle and that's pretty much it. You also can also fuse your persona's to create new one's.
The story revolves around a murderer that you and your group are trying to solve, a really complex murder that if you fail to resolve you might get a different ending. But that is only part of the plot, it's too complex for me too explain, but the premise is simple, by morning you attend to school and lead a social life and create bonds with your mates and after school you go fight shadows and save people that are pushed in the midnight channel to be killed by their own shadow.
But all and all what makes this game great it's the characters and the interactions you make with them, the surreal colorful yet dark worlds of the midnight channel, and the simple yet touching situations you find yourself in. Every single thing in this game though might be simple (yet original) grows on you and make you feel what he characters are feeling. This is basically a "best friends forever" themed story, so expect some lines like "you are not alone" , "i'm here for you" , "You can do it" , but it works here perfectly and it's so well executed that makes the those scenes touching and epic.
And to finalize, i shall talk about the soundtrack: it's a mix of jazz, pop, rock and opera, and weirdly ... it works so well.
This is the best that the genera has to offer so be sure to not miss it specially if you have your old ps2 or a psvita )
In case that you are not a gamer, watch the anime, it has some silly moments but the ending is beyond epic.
I bid you farewell
