integrate your activities withing each day to determine your progress. • Using
Mayonaka TV, you can phase into the television set and enter a shadowy world.
• Gameplay and style are similar to Persona 3, but there are plenty of new
twists and additions. Myth and Occult Mixed with Contemporary Japan: Megami
Tensei was originally based on the novel series Digital Devil Story by Aya
Nishitani. A major franchise in the RPG genre, MegaTen games take place in the
contemporary or near-future Japan, mixing occult and cyberpunk elements. The
games feature mythological references from multiple mythologies, and the
player is often asked to make moral or philosophical choices that affect the
game’s storyline and ending. The silent male protagonist who represents the
player in Persona 4 attends Yasogami High School with Chie, Yosuke, and
Yukiko. His entire personality and name is decided and portrayed by the
player’s in-game actions and decisions. He wields two-handed sword type
weapons, but unlike Persona 3, he doesn’t use alternative weapons. Mysterious
Murders Abound: Persona 4 takes place in a rural town named Inaba where
mysterious murders occur whenever there is fog after heavy rain. The town has
a television channel that airs only at midnight called Mayonaka TV, during
which it is said that one can see their “”other half”” while staring at the
screen. After hearing about a recent unsolved murder, some characters realize
that they had witnessed the murder victim while watching Mayonaka TV. The
protagonist discovers that during midnight when the channel is on, his body
can phase into his television set, using the set as a gateway to another world
infested with shadows. Mayonaka TV and the town murders seem so connected that
it’s possible that the victims may in fact victims of Mayonaka TV itself. The
characters decide to solve the mysterious murders by exploring the hidden
world of Mayonaka TV. Brand New, Yet Familiar game play: Persona 4’s game play
and style are similar to the popular Persona 3. Players familiar with Persona
3 will quickly recognize the social links and dungeon crawling game play, as
well as the engine itself. The battles also have some similarities, such as
the One More system, All-out attack, and the AI controlled support characters.
However, unlike Persona 3, characters can be set to take commands from the
player, new glasses allow characters to see through the heavy mist inside
Mayonaka TV, and tarot cards can be shattered to summon the characters’
respective Persona. Other changes include an increase in player stats from
three to five, and the removal of health status, allowing players to explore
dungeons continuously. Let the Action Begin: Battle-wise, Persona 4 lets you
directly control the actions of other party members and continually exploit an
enemy’s weakness. Post-battle card shuffles have added Arcana Chance, which
bring you good or bad status depending on the Arcana. Battles now occur after
school instead of at midnight, like in Persona 3, giving the player less time
in which to do social activities. This turns out to be significant because
Social Links now have a greater effect on battle. At higher levels, the
player’s allies progress from occasionally protecting the protagonist from a
deathblow, through occasionally offering follow-up attacks, to eventually
allow the persona of the corresponding ally to evolve into another persona.
And persona can retain or even lose weaknesses and can be immune to certain
kind of magic attacks. All allies who have their corresponding Social Link
levels maxed out now have a chance to survive an otherwise fatal attack,
leaving them with one remaining HP.” Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
