Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Released in Japan

P4 Release

So Persona 4 is officially on sale in Japan. If you absolutely cannot wait to get your hands on the game, or know a bit of casual Japanese, you can buy a copy from Play-Asia.com here for $68.90.

If owning the regular version is too pedestrian for you, Play-Asia also has the Konamistyle Special Edition here for $129.90. The below table explains the contents to the two different special editions. So far only the Konamistyle one is available on Play-Asia. Please note that Play-Asia only carries the bundle which comes with the XL t-shirt, good if you are a big fan of the series. Pun slightly intended.

Bundle type Contents Price
Special Edition -Persona 4 game disc
-Konamistyle Kuma Plush
6,594?
Konamistyle Special Edition -Persona 4 game disc
-Konamistyle Kuma Plush
-Konamistyle original T-Shirt (S.M.L.XL)
9,219?

Since the game’s release in Japan, some image rips have already surfaced on the web. The link to this rip was given to me by a person from 4chan’s video game message board. All the characters have bizarre eyes and some feature different outfits.

It also does seem to suggest that Naoto may be a girl. Although Kanji appears as a cross-dressed version of Marilyn Monroe suggesting that perhaps these images are not set in the reality of the game.

I am in the process of interviewing at several jobs, and if I manage to get one of them I may go crazy and buy a Japanese copy of the game. If I do I’ll be sure to tell you guys how it is! Too bad Play-Asia charges so much for the Konamistyle Special Edition… it’s like an extra $30 for a Kuma Plush and a shirt that will never fit me.
