Persona 4, Character Profile and Keywords Website Update
Some of the info in this Persona 4 character profile and keywords update has actually already been revealed in the previous Famitsu magazine photos but, since the text was barely readable in those shots there is a bit of new info here.
Clicking on the character profiles and the glasses (which appears to be the new evokers) gives you access to some new video clips of the characters. There appears to be a reference to action movie star Jackie Chan here... I wonder if they'll bring up Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Sammo Hung too.
On a side note, Atlus has also launched the Persona series based free game called "Ain Soph" which is sort of a sequel to "Persona 3 The Night Before". It's a game available only to subscribers to the Atlus newsletter where you must borrow the power of Personas and choose your moves wisely each real time day to escape from the labyrinths of Qlipoth.
Main Character
Moves to the rural countryside to live with his mother's relatives. His qualities as a Persona user awakens, opening the gate to another world when he and his friends follow the trail of mysterious murders around them. The key to that world is the power within the heart, "Personas".
Chie Satonaka (Voiced by Yui Horie, Narusegawa from "Love Hina")
A very normal girl born in the rural town of Inaba where she attended primary school. But what is this darkness surrounding her heart and her qualities as a Persona user?
Chie is also a Kung Fu movie maniac as mentioned before and in the video you see her having her "Legend of Jackie Chan" DVD ruined after lending it to Yosuke. She uses her self-taught kicking moves to give him a beating.
Yosuke Hanamura (Voiced by Shoutaro Morikubo)
A classmate of the Main Character at Yasogami High who is cheerful but takes a while to know what's going on around him. The video shows how the MC first encounters him.
The Bizarre Serial Murders
Inaba is lurking with ominous shadows and murders. Just who should the Main Character and his friends be dealing with here?
Yasogami High
By attending Yasogami High, the Main Character meets many different people.

The MC and Chie's Personas do have a kind of oriental vibe. Not sure about the others though. Maybe they decided to do this to the designs because the story's set in the rural parts of Japan this time where old culture is more apparent than in P3 which is set mainly in the Westernised city.

Is it me or the Personas (at least the first 2) have an oriental feel to it? Must be the kung-fu references. Also, the main character looks so much like Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!
