The story in Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is terrible, the writing flanderizes all the characters in Persona 3 and 4’s casts, reducing beloved fan favourites such as Chie, Kanji, or Mitsuru into one note gags (if that), and introducing frankly ridiculous stakes that are hard to take seriously on their own, much less as a continuation of the thematic nuance and richness of Persona 3 and 4.
We got a glut of P ersona 4 media and spin offs, from an enhanced re-release to a crossover dungeon crawler, from a dancing game for some reason to not one, but two fighting games featuring the casts of Persona 3 and 4 duking it out against each other, and some new characters in a story that was emphatically declared “canon” and the “true conclusion of the Persona 4 saga.” Persona 5 may have been where Atlus’ long running Persona franchise finally broke into the mainstream, capturing lightning in a bottle and captivating over 5 million players around the world, also delivering one of the highest rated games of all time in the process – but before there was Persona 5, there was Persona 4, a cult hit game that found passionate fans around the world who continued to champion it and stuck by it to such a degree that Atlus, getting the message, decided to milk it for all it was worth.Īnd Persona 4 was worth a lot.
