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.

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.
