This week ends with a blast, the much awaited Persona 4's
Konamistyle special edition is finally out. As this game focuses on portraying the lives of contemporary Japanese youths and pop culture, the key persona users includes not only a pop idol, but a mascot, an android looking teddy bear.
Kuma the teddy bear is classified as a mysterious character, his role and fate is unknown to both himself and the protagonists as he is neither known as a friend nor a foe. All we currently know about him is his ability as a persona user. But friend or foe, his cute presence is strangely fitting with the dazzlingly eery atmosphere.
This
special edition comes with a plush doll of Kuma the mysterious bear and a stylishly printed T-shirt that spots an abstract artwork of a view of the Japanese sky as seen from the ground. Instead of seeing an expanse of great blue, the sky is segmented by wires hanging off the many electric posts.
The
Special Konamistyle Edition of Persona 4 has arrived today and is shipping as an NTSC J encoded Japanese version for PlayStation2 and is sold for US$ 129.90 only.
Please bear in mind that Play-Asia.com only offers XL sized T-Shirts.
