I don't mean to put the pressure on, RPG fans, but Persona 4 is coming. I know you're still probably grinding away at Persona 3: FES, but Persona 4 hits shelves in Japan this summer. And the rumor is that we'll see a US release not too long after. We'll need whatever head start we can get, as they say that P4 is supposed to be 1.5 times longer than P3, and it will contain over 180 Persona.
For now, here's the opening movie for Persona 4. Despite the craptastic audio, I'm pretty excited by watching this. It gives us some quick glimpses of some of the characters in some iPod commercial-ish shilouettes, and you'll notice that their spectacles are the only thing highlighted. Could this be another Evoker hint?
Siliconera points out that each characters weapons may be hinted at in this video. Good eye!
Are you ready for more Persona? Where would Persona be without school uniforms? And what the hell is that zipper bear thing?

THE SPECTACLES SHOOT YOU IN THE EYES.
I must say though that even though all the details about P4 excite the hell out of me (multiple endings, the country setting, the darker mysteries, etc), I have to say I hate the main characters. They look like the biggest goddamn dweebs in the whole world. I haven't seen a single character so far that is even close to being cool.
How many times do I have to say it? You cannot grind in Persona 3. The EXP you get from enemies keeps getting lower and lower as your level goes above theirs. Once you're a couple levels higher than the enemies on the floors around you, you aren't earning squat, and thus cannot grind.
And besides, grinding is the OPPOSITE of what the player needs to do in Persona 3, since stats don't mean dick until they're like 20 above the enemies' anyway.
*grumbles*
I like the video. Can't wait.
I just want 3 things for P4.
1. No huge dungeon that was boring as shit after the first 50 floors.
2. No arbitrary crap to make the story come to a screeching halt, full moon events can blow me.
3. Let me control my party members.
That would make P4 the best Tensei game ever, as it stands Nocturne is still the king.
I wouldn't have cared about two weeks ago, but now that I'm fully engaged with P3, I care oh-so-much.

The glasses seem to be the way they see the cards, the shadows, or the entire 'TV world' they enter to battle the shadows. I'm not sure which, but the glasses aren't evokers. Think of them as the sunglasses in They Live. You use them to see the truth.
Anywho back to P3...Now if I can only get fucking Bebe to stop pestering me.
And Jack Frost isn't going anywhere. He's Atlus' mascot. But of course, if you think that all the Personas should be "DARK AND GRITTY" you're missing the point entirely anyway, so you probably aren't going to listen to that.
