While Persona 4 doesn't excel in any area compared to the other two games, it's ability to combine both the most immersive world through Inaba in an RPG I've played yet and an entertaining/unique cast that constantly made me smile is what makes it so special to me. It constantly reaffirms the "truth" theme in an enthralling mystery story despite some weak points towards the end. Not even talking about the beautiful OST and overall presentation, and everything else that makes the Persona series so great. I'm so happy I had such a great turnaround on this game, and I'm sure it'll stay as one of my favorite games of all time.
