Very nice indeed. :D I don't give two ***** about reviews per se, but I'm glad to see Atlus getting it's due credit on a top notch franchise.

I think everyone has to stop the fighting for a moment, and just agree the PS2 freaking rocks. . Haha just thinking, none of the "next gen" consoles have a AAAe RPG do they?

Honestly, they have A LOT of games there. Most based off anime...but in any case! They have a lot more, good ones too! Anyways, Persona 4? Taking RPG of the year for 2008? :P

If Persona 3 could win it against Mass Effect and The Witcher, I'm sure Persona 4 has a good chance. Also, I got the game yesterday (had it reserved) with the artbook and after playing for 5 hours or so since then... it is truly awesome.

Nope. The last AAAE RPG was TWEWY and that was for the DS. :P

I've been debating over whether or I should get this or not. I still have Persona 3 to finish and Nocturne waiting in the wings. If I get this it will sit on my shelf for at least 6 months and maybe never get played. The only pet peeve I have with Atlus games is they are so ****ing long.

Wow. It's pretty amazing that of all the console JRPGs this year, the only one that got AAA was on a last-gen system. O_O

Well, AR Tonelico 2 is coming out at the end of January. The original is pretty good, and there's a video floating around here somewhere from GameTrailers about Innuendo. It'll be interesting to see if this is in the running for RPGOTY since there were a lot more released on the HD consoles this year than last year, though Fallout 3 is the only other RPG this year to get a 9.0, aside from the PC port of Mass Effect. Kind of funny that the highest RPG exclusive this year is on the PS2, and heck, it's tied for highest rated RPG of the year here.

I didn't care for the dungeon crawl elements of Persona 3, but it seems to be implemented much better in P4. I'm definitely gonna check this one out.

And it is funny how it is better than all current gen ones. And I would personally disagree about best even though I haven't played it. Nocturne still stands out on top of Atlus' pile. It may be better but that will have to wait until I play it.

It's fantastic, but I still like Lost Odyssey and Valkyria Chronicles a tad bit more.

Given the PS2's market strength and install base, chances are it will be on PS2 as well.

Ah... Damn!... You're Right :( Its either that or Wii, then Xbox360, then N64 and then Ps3, But there's still a little hope.

JRPG/RPG of the Year! :D

I have it but can't play yet.

GI has had the worst review with a 8 and a second review of 7.25.

Read up on it here

Nope, there is one little refrence to Persona 3 that is really small, a cameo that has no real importance really.

You should try out Persona 3 FES and other SMT titles.

IMO (and most of the reviewers for that matter), Persona 4 is the better game. I've been playing Persona 4 for the past few days and it solves every problem that there was with P3. Voice acting is much better (and abundant), the story is more consistent, the navigation between locations is miles above P3 (the square button brings up a quick navigation menu, for less traveling), there are much more save points... I could honestly go on and on.
