''a cord that connects past and future.''|'''Igor, [[Powers That Be|Master of the Velvet Room]]'''}}
'''''Persona 4''''' is an [[Urban Fantasy]] [[Role-Playing Game]] in the popular [[JRPG]] franchise ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'', made by Atlus.
[[The Hero]] is an [[Ordinary High School Student]] (script name is not given, but he's called Souji Seta in the manga and Yu Narukami in the anime and fighting game), who will be living in the rural town of Inaba for a year with his uncle Ryotaro Dojima and his cousin Nanako. Not too long after he arrives, impossible murders begin to occur: people suddenly disappear, only for their bodies to be found hanging on telephone poles. Following an urban legend about a television channel that will show your soulmate at midnight on rainy days, the cast discover a mysterious otherworld on the other side of the television screen enveloped in a perpetual, oppressive fog.
Line 71:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Partially deconstructed. {{spoiler|Naoto's works, but Kanji is ''furious'' at her for taking that sort of risk and is not shy about letting her know. Some other members of the team are definitely impressed though, especially given the amount of detail she's able to remember from her own kidnapping}}.
* [[Battle Theme Music]]: You'll hum to the [[Preexisting Encounters|Pre-existing encounters]]. You'll ''rock out'' to the boss battles.
* [[Beary Cute]]: Teddie is a bear-like creature that resembles a living mascot that the Investigation Team first meets in the Midnight Channel. {{spoiler|It is later revealed that he was once a Shadow but developed his cute and cuddly form so that humans could like him more.}}
* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: A funny example: after Yosuke {{spoiler|signs the girls up against their will for a beauty pageant, they respond by signing the protagonist, Yosuke and Kanji up for the ''crossdressing'' pageant. Then it happens again when Yosuke enters Teddie in the contest as a last minute entry, and after [[Attractive Bent Gender|he wins]] a position as a judge of the beauty pageant the girls are in, he declares there be a swimsuit portion, much to the girls' chagrin}}.
* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]: Rise/Yukiko, {{spoiler|Naoto}} and Chie respectively.
Line 137 ⟶ 138:
* [[Cast From HP]]: The Persona physical attacks work like this.
* [[Cast Full of Gay|Cast Full Of]] [[Ambiguously Gay]] and/or [[Bi the Way]]: Everyone on the Investigation Team (save for Rise) is loaded with [[Ho Yay]] or [[Les Yay]]. With Kanji, it is a central part of his character.
* [[The Catfish]]: [[Guide Dang It|Good luck catching that Guardian]] to max out the Hermit Social Link! To clarify: you need to fish on very specific days, have the correct fishing equipment Key Item in your possession, and have to avoid catching unwanted fish by using a certain technique that is mentioned all of once in the game. The saving grace is the vibration function; specific fish make specific bites on your line, and once you know the Guardian's style, it's MUCH easier to fish for.▼
** Feed it to the cat during the quest "Cat Needs Food Badly", and you can clear the quest with only four feedings (otherwise, it takes ''twenty fish'' to clear the quest). Hell of a way for the Guardian's career to end... then again, there's apparently more than one.▼
* [[Chalk Outline]]: The floor of the [[Hub Level]] is littered with outlines of dead bodies.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]:
Line 167 ⟶ 166:
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: In contrast to [[Large Ham|all the other Shadows]], {{spoiler|Shadow Teddie}} barely has any fluctuations in his voice at all. Depending on your perspective, it's either absolutely bone chilling or completely awesome.
** While not as much as the former, {{spoiler|Shadow Mitsuo is somewhat of a [[Dull Surprise]], due to the fact he represents Mitsuo's inner emptiness}}.
* [[Critical Annoyance]]: Much like the previous game, you have Teddie for an announcer during the battle who gives you information about damage taken or status effects. Unfortunately, much like [[Mission Control]] the previous game, he. [[
* [[Critical Hit]]: The animations that show it are quite satisfying to see. Also grants extra turns. Unlike in some other games, this doesn't have to be entirely random. There are spells that influence the probability of getting one.
* [[Cross Counter]]: You and [[Fan Nickname|Brosuke]] get into one of these at the end of his Social Link Max.
Line 397 ⟶ 396:
** The True ending isn't that bad about it. {{spoiler|Izanami states that she has been completely eradicated and the other world is purged of all fog and presumably shadows. While it's still available, it doesn't look like much could be done there but take a vacation}}.
** It is implied that the world has always existed. {{spoiler|Considering it lies in people's hearts, it probably is true}}.

▲** Feed it to the cat during the quest "Cat Needs Food Badly", and you can clear the quest with only four feedings (otherwise, it takes ''twenty fish'' to clear the quest). Hell of a way for the Guardian's career to end... then again, there's apparently more than one.
* [[Lestrade]]: Adachi is responsible for much of your knowledge about the police investigation of the case, {{spoiler|and he's the guy who did it, using this information to mislead you}}. Ryoutarou Dojima is in a position this would be expected from, but is not an example.
* [[Lethal Chef]]:

** Watch in wonder at the [http://www.giantbomb.com/endurance-run-persona-4-part-01/17-219/ people of] [[Giant Bomb]] in [[Hello, Insert Name Here|Charlie Tunoku's]] journey to the truth (and the [[Epic Fail|various ways they manage to screw up]]).

* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: After the disastrous school camping trip comes up in a conversation, Kanji says something along the lines of "I thought we agreed never to talk about that."
* [[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]: The Social Link system returns... but this time, with more immediate effects on combat when you develop your links with party members, culminating with their Persona evolving at the max Social Link.
Line 598 ⟶ 599:
* [[Specs of Awesome]]: Every character with a Persona.
* [[Spit Take]]: The reaction to Mystery Food X from both you and Yosuke.
* [[Strip Club]]: Rise's dungeon is modeled after a strip club, and features many female-shaped monsters who move suggestively and [[Orgasmic Combat|moan when attacked]], as well as moving silhouettes of pole dancers on the walls. Despite no actual nudity being shown, this dungeon avoids being a [[Bikini Bar]] due to the super-sketchy decoration of the place and the complete sleaziness of its final boss Shadow Rise, who constantly talks in sexual innuendo and very often promises to take off the minimal golden bikini she wears - the only reason she doesn't is because Rise rejects her just in time, prompting her Shadow self's monstrous transformation.
* [[The Spock]]: Naoto acts like this in order to be taken more seriously by adults.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Rise: "It's weak against wind, this'll be a breeze!"
