Recently, strange murders began to occur in the quiet Japanese town Inaba.

People are found dead under mysterious circumstances, and rumors say that something very wrong is going on with local TV system.

A high school student moves into town, living at the house of his uncle, a police detective named Ryotaro Dojima.

Shortly after his arrival, a TV announcer is found dead, her body hanging on a TV antenna.

A while later, the student who discovered the victim is found dead as well.

The new student and his friends accidentally discover that a parallel world exists within the realm of television, populated by supernatural creatures known as Shadows.

The young people also find out that their own Shadow Selves are able to grant them unique powers.

They must travel into that mysterious world and find out who is responsible for the murders.

Persona 4 is a Japanese-style role-playing game with light social simulation elements, similar in concept to its predecessor .

The player controls a party of characters who must solve the crimes by venturing into the TV world and exploring its dungeons.

Each dungeon is associated with a potential victim and carries a unique theme; their layouts, however, are randomly generated.

Enemies are visible on screen, and contact with them leads to turn-based battles, which heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses and unleashing powerful attacks after having successfully knocked them down.

As opposed to the previous game, the player can issue direct commands to the main character's companions during battles.

Similarly to other Persona games, characters' abilities and attributes change by merging them with supernatural beings known as Personae, which can also be fused at special locations to create more powerful ones.

Like the previous installment, the game is stretched across an entire school year, strictly following a real calendar, each day divided into different periods (school, after school, evening, etc.).

About PlayStation 2

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2008.

Rarity & condition

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
