My personal favourite persona game and also the first one I played (Well the ps2 version atleast.) The story and turn takes a massive change in tone from its predecessor with a more upbeat and lighthearted story and theme. That isnt to say Persona 4 doesnt have its dark parts. The cast is my absolute favourite cast of characters in the persona franchise and its really entertaining to see them interact with each other. While I feel like the social links outside of the party members, Dojima, Nanako and Adachi's are easily the weakest in the series theres still alot of soulful and funny moments in them. As for the gameplay the battles can be a bit hard early on but it gets laughably easy the further you get into the game and the dungeons are easily the most boring ones in the entire franchise and one of the things I hate about this game, seriously Atlus? randomly generated hallways? Tartarus sucked but it was atleast interesting to go through. The music is also an absolute godsend, songs like Your affection, Heartbeat Heartbreak, Heaven and I'll face myself are a pure joy to listen to. All in all Persona 4 is a great game even if the dungeon design leaves much to be improved on, It has a fun and engaging cast of characters a comfy small town setting, an enjoyable mystery story and tons of memories to be made, I absolutely adore this game despite some of its faults.
