Two months until Persona 4 comes out in Japan and while we’re waiting on Atlus to decide if the latest installment is worth localizing take a look at the opening movie. You can see some (most?) of the main characters in the clip, which includes a tough guy, pop star and the obligatory cute mascot character, a waddling bear.

There aren’t many personae to see though. Izanagi, the protagonist’s persona, is prominently featured and it looks like Hotsuma’s (from Sega’s PlayStation 2 Shinobi game) cousin. When the characters are in shadow form you can see them wielding weapons. Yousuke is wearing headphones while playing with kunai, Chie does a spinning kick, Yukiko dances with a fan and another character draw a pistol. Perhaps, this is a clue to their respective weapons?
