As typical with turn-based battle systems, you, your allies and your enemies each take turns. Persona 4 uses a fast-paced turn-based battle system that gives you as much or as little control as you want. And exploiting weaknesses is something that’s important with the game’s battle system. This allows for a deep level of customization, as you’ll be able to tweak the fused Personas skills, choosing which ones to carry over.Įach Persona has their strengths and weaknesses, just like the enemy shadows you’ll face. There are a few ways to do this: you can capture them in battle, or win them via the Shuffle Time mechanic or you can obtain them by fusing two different Personas that you currently own into a more powerful (and sometimes rare) one. This means that it’s possible to obtain more of them. Inside the TV world, each of your companions has a Persona of their own with your protagonist having the ability to switch between them. And if you don’t save the next victim you’re presented with a game over screen. As long as you save the victims before the foggy day, you get to decide how you spend your time. You can choose between progressing with the TV world dungeon or participating in many of the social scenarios described previously. Meaning you’ll have to check the weather for each day and plan your days accordingly. You’ll have to save new victims before the next foggy day on the calendar. And as your Social Links progress, you’ll be able to utilize more powerful Personas in the TV universe. And all of these character developments can impact your Social Links (or connections) with your companions. Things like new dialogue options, better performance on tests, and bonuses for mini-games. Your experiences in the real world will boost your Social Qualities (Understanding, Knowledge, Courage, Expression, Diligence), and levelling up each one gives you access to new things. You get to live his life as a student and make crucial social decisions-like who you want to date and how you want to spend your limited time each day. In the real world, you control your protagonist as he attends school, meets with friends, partakes in a variety of school clubs and goes back home to spend time with his family. What’s incredible is how Atlus is able to make the real world and TV world gameplay all link together. Eventually they learn that they can save would-be victims in the real world by conquering the many dungeons in the TV realm and defeating the boss shadows. They learn that there’s a link between the murders in the real world and the shadows lurking in the TV world, so they use their new abilities to fight shadows and save possible victims and unravel the deeper mysteries that lie within. Shortly after, our protagonist and a couple of his new friends stumble upon a weird parallel TV universe by accident, and inside this universe their new Personas awaken, allowing them to fight the evil shadows lurking within. And to make things hit home even more, a student from the same high school who had discovered the body, is later found dead herself. This means our protagonist must join the local school and is forced to make new friends.īut right after his arrival a reporter is found dead with her body hanging from an antenna. In Persona 4 Golden, the protagonist arrives in the rural Japanese town of Inaba to live with his uncle and cousin Ryotaro and Nanako Dojima as his parents are working abroad. Persona games are known for their unorthodox storytelling which involves deep characterization and flashy anime cutscenes that blend with the in-game graphics. But the question is, how does this game-that was originally a 2008 PS2 game-fair on the PC? And is it too dated to enjoy? Now, Atlus has graced PC gamers with the opportunity to experience Persona 4 Golden. The most accessible of the bunch after Persona 5 was Persona 4 Golden, which was only available on the now discontinued, PS Vita. After I was swept away by Persona 5 for months, I had a burning desire to go back and experience what came before. For many, Atlus’s Persona 5 was their first venture inside the world of the Shin Megami Tensei classroom offshoot series of Persona.
