Every year since 2013, I start a new file in a specific JRPG. I grind, I level up, I do side quests. I pour anywhere from 20-30 hours in, intent on seeing the credits. I get a little further every time, but it’s no use. Something always happens and I leave the game unfinished, dooming it to my backlog once more.
Imagine your old high school. Picture the doors you’d pass through at the start of each day. See if you can recall the awkward conversations you had with your friends, or the smell of the cafeteria at lunchtime. Now throw all that in the garbage and replace it with something impossibly cooler, impossibly more stylish,…
How many games do you know that manage to combine Jungian psychology, Japanese school-life and urban legends? Just like me, the Persona series isn’t as popular in the West as Final Fantasy, but it’s been around just as long (since 1987), and is arguably much more interesting.
Seinfeld clips overlaid with Persona 4's UI? Triggerhappypilot, this is good work.
There were many things I expected from Persona 4: Dancing All Night: Persona 4 music, the cast dressed up in various costumes. But what I didn’t expect? A plot that fits right in with its acclaimed RPG predecessor.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night has a lot of awesome remixes of your favorite Persona 4 songs. You know what else it has? A ton of costumes to dress everyone up in.

When talking about Persona 3 and 4 and their respective spin-offs and sequels, people always seem confused when the various games take place. And it’s no wonder. While some games show the date constantly, others only give hints as the when they happen.
I’ve been driving myself crazy over this game for months. In five days it’s released in Japan for the Vita, a format without region locking. I’ve been starting at Play Asia for an hour. Send help.
Since we can never have too much Persona 4, UDON Entertainment is bringing the manga stateside. Starting in September the publisher will begin releasing English volumes bi-monthly through 2015 and into 2016.
Following in the steps of the Persona dancing game, one fan decided the next logical step would be a Persona go-carting game.
You've see the trailer. Now, let's dive in and see if we can parse what it all means, whether that's going through the obvious hints or deciphering the vague clues.
Well, this is new. A game trailer that doesn't have gameplay or live-action nonsense or cinematic puff. It's just...well, it's the perfect trailer for a Persona game that's about dancing your ass off.
It was inevitable. This was bound to happen. Behold, an official Persona burger.
