 Another wonderful game from ATLUS January 22, 2008

I picked this up in the US last year and have been playing it since then and loving every moment. In some ways, it's like playing 2 games; 1 half social simulator where you have to go to school, make friends, pass exams and build up your 'social links' with other people. The other half follows a more traditional RPG style, as you and your team travel throught Tartarus, fighting shadows using your Persona; parts of a person's psyche which can be manifested to fight the shadows.
The characters in this are wonderful, it's difficult to choose which part I like best; the social side or the fighting side, and I quickly became very attached to some characters. It also contains some poignant moments, and the mystery of the storyline is revealed just slowly enough to keep you wanting more. I would highly recommend this game!
Excellent turn based RPG for hours of demon fun January 22, 2008

I've got the US version of this game and it is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I have also played the previous Persona games as well as Digital Devil Saga games. You are a teenage hero, with no name and silent, like a lot of other Japanese style RPGs. Upon your transfer to a new school your Persona or demon power awakes and the quest to explore tower of Tarturus and solve the riddle of the Dark Hour begins.
You can have up to 4 characters in your party, including a dog, and this is a turn-based RPG, very much like the other Persona games. You can fight as your character or summon demons to fight for you. This is where magic comes into the game. You can win demon cards at the end of battle and fuse them (in the Velvet Room) to make more powerful demons for your character to summon in battle.
The game uses the Tarot cards as the basis for 'Social Links' which you can improve by talking to and spending time with various characters in your school and the various areas you can explore. Such as Maiko, the Hanged Man social link, who is a young girl in primary school who's parents are getting divorced. The more time you spend with her the more you learn about the family life. I loved this aspect of the game. It's entertaining and fun to do, and you really find yourself torn between who to spend time with. You can date girls too.
As you are a teenager you have to go to school. You spent Monday to Saturday at school where you can interact with other students. In you free time you can visit the mall, shrine, stations and your dorm. You even have to pass exams (no that difficult). Also you can join a sport team and a club. All of this helps you discover new social links and increase you existing links.
Unlike the previous Persona games where you could explore large areas of Tokyo and places such as schools and shopping malls become monster filled dungeons, in this game the only monster dungeon is the tower of Tarturus which appears every night at midnight for an hour, called the Dark Hour. Evey month the full moon causes more powerful demons to appear and you have to defeat them.
This game is great. The fusing of demons is addictive as you can see which ones you can get before you at the level to get them. The social link part of the game will take up a lot of your spare in the game, and then you have to fight in Tarturus to keep your levels high so you can defeat bosses. This game has over 30 hours of gameplay, and more like 50 plus if you want higher level demons. It's quirky, unique and great fun. For 24.99 this will keep you entertained for a very long time..
