Title: NEWS: Persona 4 Released in Japan Post by: DevilRy on October 17, 2008, 07:41:35 PM (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/phantomlimbs/playstation2_persona4.jpg)
Persona 4 has been released in Japan. The new addition to the series takes place in the rural town of Inaba where unsolved murders have been taking place on the foggy days after heavy rains. Rumors circulate the community about a mysterious television station that airs only at midnight called "Mayonaka TV," where one is supposedly able to see a broadcast of their shadow-self. Persona 4 brings back many of the gameplay elements of the previous incarnation of the series, blending glossy anime sequences with slick, cartoonish graphics. There are some minor tweaks to the gameplay as well as other presentational changes. For instance, the suicidal Evokers from Persona 3 & FES have been replaced by the use Tarot cards, and the Velvet Room is now located inside a limousine. Gameplay-wise there are now 5 stats instead of the previous 3 and Other party members can now take direct orders as well. By and large Persona 4 retains many of the features from 3 and FES, such as the Commu (Social) Links, "One More," and "All-out Attack," while offering plenty of new content for those still itching for more after Persona 3. Atlus USA has announced that a North American release is planned for December 9th, 2008 and is slated to be packaged complete with a soundtrack CD and "Visual Data" art book companion. Price: 7300¥ EDIT: This should be retro-posted to July 10th. Not sure how to do that slimbox business, but here's a higher res version of the cover.

Technically I don't think there should be any distinguishment.
A larger question will be finding a way to make sure people who want to can see new retro news (especially if it's dated far back) because it will be immediately buried in the timeline. I'm going to make a sticky thread in the meantime where all retro news should be registered in the order it's posted...

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/Persona_4_-_Japanese_Boxart.JPG) It's time you figured it out: Tip #1 To add a gallery to your post use the following HTML syntax: Code: <a href="http://www.website.com/your_high_resolution_gallery_url.jpg" rel="lightbox[8.1.2008]"><img src="http://www.website.com/your_thumbnail_url.jpg" alt="your_alternate_text" /></a> <a href="http://www.website.com/your_other_high_resolution_gallery_url.jpg" rel="lightbox[8.1.2008]"><img src="http://www.website.com/your_other_thumbnail_url.jpg" alt="your_alternate_text" /></a> The rel="lightbox[8.1.2008]" portion should cage your images in their own gallery. The number used is the date of the post. If there is more than one post per day and yours is a later post, please extend that number with the time of day or whatever. Be careful not to leave spaces between your HTML elements, because Wordpress is likely to interpret them oddly (normal HTML ignores most white space, Wordpress tries to be all intuitive and stuff) I'll work on giving contributors upload privileges, but in the mean time just use whatever image links you have. Title: Re: RETRO-NEWS: Persona 4 Released in Japan Post by: DevilRy on October 17, 2008, 09:41:36 PM Fixed. For some reason it was just showing as HTML in the preview window so I figured it was something I didn't have permission to do.
Title: Re: NEWS: Persona 4 Released in Japan Post by: Emilio Morales on January 12, 2009, 10:45:38 AM NEWS: Lanzamiento de Persona 4 en Japón (Spanish)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/Persona_4_-_Japanese_Boxart.JPG) Persona 4 ha sido lanzado a la venta en Japón. La nueva adición a las series toma lugar en la parte rural de la ciudad de Inaba, donde asesinatos sin resolver toman lugar al llegar una neblina después de varios días de fuertes lluvias. Rumores circulan la comunidad acerca del misterioso programa de televisión llamado "Mayonaka TV", el cual solo aparece a medianoche en los días de lluvia, en donde supuestamente uno puede ver la sombra de quien aparece en pantalla. Persona 4 trae de vuelta muchos elementos del gameplay del anterior juego de las series, mezclando brillantes secuencias de anime. Hay algunos cambios menores al gameplay así como cambios a la presentación. Por ejemplo, las armas suicidas "Evokers" de Persona 3 y FES fueron reemplazadas por el uso de cartas de Tarot, y el Velvet Room ahora se localiza en el interior de una limosina. Ahora contamos con 5 estadísticas en vez de las anteriores 3 y ahora nuestros compañeros de batalla podrán obedecer órdenes directas. Persona 4 sostiene muchas de las características de Persona 3 y FES, tales como el Commu Links (Vínculos Sociales), "One More", el ataque grupal de "All-out Attack", y mucho otro contenido para aquellos que quedaron con mas deseos después de Persona 3. Atlus USA ha anunciado que Norte América tendrá su lanzamiento para Diciembre 9 de 2008 y vendrá junto con un soundtrack del juego y un libro de arte titulado "Visual Data". Precio: 7300¥ |
