1UP: Are some aspects of the high school being changed because of the rural setting, or is it pretty much the same as Persona 3?

YN: The things you could do in high school before in Persona 3, you can do in Persona 4 as well. But all the social-link stuff is way more integrated into the actual gameplay than simply raising your Arcana level.

NM: They affect the main gameplay in deeper ways than they did before.

1UP: So how much bigger would say, based on times or percentage-wise?

NM: What did we decide on that? 1.5 times? Something like that.

YN: Around that, yeah.

NM: I feel like, even if it's not longer based on hours, there's more to do. I feel like there'll be less repetition in the time that you do have. That's my impression of the game.

So I hear you can have gay sex in this game.

Well, you can choose to either become intimate or just friends with the dateable social links, whether they're male or female.

I'm down for hot bishey gay sex. Dear god, I just channeled my 16 year old self for a moment.

Hmm, off-topic but Nocturne reprint was $29.99 on Amazon (sold out now). What do you guys think about that and Digital Devil Saga?

[AaronChance]

I didn't think DDS was worth playing myself. It's basically the same gamplay as Nocturne, with a lame attempt at a more standard JRPG story. It's also a game split into two parts.

Nocturne is the best Japanese RPG ever made.

[bbobb]

Quite possibly the truth.
