Game mechanics
Persona 4 is like his predecessors an RPG -style Ren'ai simulation.
The player attends school, takes side jobs to, goes fishing and builds its relations with other off. These relationships play like in the predecessors of the series a big role, because this makes it possible for him to create stronger Personae. The personae are reflections of one's self, giving the player different skills. These skills are needed to survive in a parallel world in which the player experiences the role-playing aspect of the game.
