You already know that the devil-collecting, dungeon-crawling delight Persona 4 is coming just in time for Christmas this year, but you may not know much about the game's setting and characters. To hold us over until release, Atlus has given us details Persona 4's main protagonists as well as some character art. 

PROTAGONIST
The main character of Persona 4. He recently moved to the countryside to live with his uncle and cousin. After awakening to his potential as a Persona user, he opens the door to a mysterious world.

CHIE SATONAKA
A classmate of the Protagonist’s who was born and raised in Inaba. She is a cheerful, energetic girl, but what dark burden does she bear within herself? And what could her talents as a Persona-user be?

YOSUKE HANAMURA
The Protagonist’s classmate at Yasogami High School. He has an amicable personality and is adept at reading social situations. He, too, awakens as a Persona user, but what triggers his awakening?

YUKIKO AMAGA
Yukiko’s days are occupied with helping her family run the historic Amagi Inn. She joins the group of Persona users, but how is she involved in the murder case?

TEDDIE
A mysterious creature that the Protagonist and his friends encounter inside the TV. It seems to have some power in the other world, but is it friend or foe?

Baby, baby, baby, I can't wait for this game. I want to hop into televisions, solve murder mysteries, and find out why the hell Teddie has a zipper on his head. If you're wanting all the goodies, including the soundtrack CD and artbook, make sure you preorder before December 9.
