About Persona 4

An entry in the JRPG/visual novel hybrid Persona series in which the player has to harness the power of Personas and fight entities called Shadows by forging bonds with the locals of Inaba, a rural Japanese town thrown into unrest by inexplicable murders committed under cover of foggy weather and rumours of a television channel said to broadcast mysterious images on rainy nights.

Compared to Disco Elysium it feels warmer, less cynical, and I still pick it up sometimes.

    The Disco Elysium comparison keeps coming back and honestly I'm tired of it, the writing there just operates on another level for me.

    Replying to AbdullahKnight

    otro nivel es mucho decir, a mi los vínculos con la gente de Inaba me dejaron algo que ese otro juego nunca me dio

    Chaque fois qu'on compare les deux j'ai l'impression que Disco Elysium gagne sur l'écriture pure, j'y ai mis moins d'heures mais ça m'a plus marqué.

  2. SilentRunner

    Por qué nadie habla del vinculo con los personajes cuando se compara este juego con otros rpg? Para mi eso es lo que más pesa, pasas tanto tiempo con ellos que el final pega fuerte, y me pareze que en el ranking eso no se refleja del todo bien.

  3. TurboLegend

    292e c'est correct pour ce jeu, pas honteux, mais je pense qu'il mérite un rang un peu meilleur que ce rang actuel.
