I don't even want to do that in real life.

They added little symbols over people's heads when they have a quest for you. Besides that, it's pretty much impossible to do everything your first time through. That's what new game+ is for, where you keep your stat attributes. You are going to miss a lot of stuff, guaranteed. Just play the game and have fun.
The meat of Persona 4 is the same as Persona 3 and just about every SMT game post-Nocturne. It's like a dark gothic version of fantasy football. You collect and merge demons in an effort to create the best, most unassailable lineup of demons/personas. This requires a lot of careful planning, experimentation, and poring over charts. The most modern SMT games, Persona 4 Golden and Devil Survivor 2, streamline this a great deal. But it's the same "dark gothic fantasy football" concept.
The day-to-day school stuff is no worse than trudging through your average RPG town. It's much better in fact. Like Mzo says, you don't need to worry about doing everything (especially in P4G). The game gives you A TON of hints when a unique event occurs. One perfect example is the TV mail-order program on Sundays. In P3 you could buy some unique items through the mail-order program but it was really easy to forget about it. In P4G it reminds you every single time.
Thanks! I think it's pretty accurate.
As for what I'm playing now...
Dragon Age: Origins (PC): Started over with a new character, a human mage. I really love the writing and characters in this game. It's so good! It's so much fun wandering around with your party and listening to them banter with each other. And the combat feels so visceral and satisfying. Hard to describe why. I think it's the combined impact of the character animations, the sound effects, and the little graphical touches (like the finishing move animations when you kill a boss, and the way blood splatters all over your characters during a battle). Game still looks fantastic on PC with detail cranked up to max. Silky smooth, too (running a GTX 460).
Some call it TNL.
lol
Got the Zone of the Enders collection on 360 for Christmas, guess its time to see what I missed out on by not getting a PS2 till late in its life.
Also, that new metal gear joint. I might actually like this one.
