Silicon Era is reporting that Persona 4 will be hitting Japan stores in July. For those of you under a rock, Persona is the Atlus RPG series set in high school with truly creepy themes. The game seems to use the same Persona 3 engine, but with some new stuff:
One of the new changes is a weather system where characters perish on misty days. The cast is all new too. Replacing the emo-style protagonist of Persona 3 is a kid with a bowl haircut who has Izangai as his Persona and a family to spend time with. No more mysterious orphans here! He is joined by Chin, a girl wearing a green track jacket and short skirt, who has Tomoe as her Persona. It appears that she has control over fire too.
Katsura Hashino, the producer, explains the gameplay is around 60-70 hours, which means plenty of time building social links on the soccer field and melding Personas in the Velvet Room.
Hopefully, the English language version will come out sometime late this year.
