Awesomeness this way comes.... PERSONA

Just in (13 hours ago) news for Persona 4 is coming.
P4 Trailer

If you're confused about the first 10 seconds, they're flash backs from previous persona games. From what I can understand. You basically get all the features from P3:Fes and more. Glasses seems to be the motiff for this one, so we can stop with the high school suicide jokes now.

Shortly after an urban youth begins a year-long stay in the countryside town of Inaba, the rural town's peace is shattered by a horrific murder that leaves no clues or suspects. As the lone incident develops into a series of bizarre crimes, he discovers that only he and his friends have the power to solve the baffling case, bring those responsible to justice, and restore harmony to his new home.

Features will include: Party control (While the AI will probably be developed just as much, you'll now be able to take direct control. Yay! Taking a look at the trailer, there might be tactics where you can block attacks with other characters), Persona fusion, weapon crafting, and part-time jobs.
Taking place in the country side, I find it interesting how they try to add more and more to the game to simulate the two worlds. I think they've done Fes really well (You even had to walk Koromaru) and just adding on to that is great. I love how their "if it aint broke, don't fix it" policy and only fix the bugs and issues that players had with the previous versions.

And the music is just as good as always.

Awesomeness arrives: Dec. 9th. for the PS2. IT WILL LIVE ON!
