Was bored tonight and decided to give Persona 4 a go as it's in my backlog a long while. Got up to the point where I unlocked Yosuke's persona searching for information about Saki.
Really enjoying it but worried I ain't understanding the battle system yet.
Only had 2 battles. I kinda enjoy the downtime between them tho.
Battle system is pretty easy. You can target an enemies weak point to knock it down and get a follow up attack for free. Knock all the enemies down and you get to do an all out attack for free which does a lot of damage. (One tip is you can change the battle system so you directly control all the characters and not just the Main Character, most people prefer the game this way and it makes boss battles easier).
There's a few other small things to remember but they only really apply mostly to boss fights. First Shin Megami Tensei games aren't like Final Fantasy which are beyond simple. Status buffs and debuffs are hugely important and stacking them can give you a massive advantage is tough boss fights. Also you can protect your own elemental weakness by guarding, you'll still take damage but you won't give the enemy an extra turn which is going to come in handy for the next boss fight which is a a bit of a baptism of fire.
Other than that always be fusing new Persona's. It's not like pokemon where you hang on to pokemon for the entire game. Fuse them all for higher level Persona, a few extra levels makes a massive difference in this game. Also focus on social links when you aren't fighting. Social links give massive xp boosts when fusing and it can mean getting a persona that is a good few levels over your max level which can make a massive difference.
Other than that the rest of the strategy is just resource and mp management in the dungeons.

Ok just finished Ys: Memories of Celceta. Great game. It was pretty easy on Hard difficulty though.
What RPG now? I've played Persona 4 before.
I'd echo what Xenji said, the Atelier games are awesome, and freedom wars is a lot of fun. The two Trails in the Sky games are pretty much the pinnacle of the traditional JRPG formula. I'd also like to highly, highly recommend Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics. I'd go for Tactics Ogre first, it's by far and away the best SRPG ever made with one hell of a story.
I'd stay away from FFX, replayed it recently, time has not been kind to it. It's a bit of a slog and you can do far better considering the PS Vita and PSP library.

Use play asia all the time. Very reliable company only had one problem where a shipment didn't arrive and they posted out a replacement when I contacted them no hassle. Only downer is that delivery from Hong Kong is very slow, you can be waiting 3 weeks for stuff to arrive, just wait, it will come eventually.
I've been caught for customs from them before but it's a rare occurence and worth the risk for the savings made.
