A new Persona 4 trailer has just hit the P4 official site that confirms something I had predicted a while ago: all characters will be fully controllable in battle!
Persona 3's battle system only allowed for the main character to be fully controllable, leaving the rest of your party to its own devices (for better or worse). Persona 4 will apparently be bringing the series back to it origins, allowing each member to be fully utilized in battle.
Below I've included the trailer in question, showing Chie pwn some poor Shadows into submission with her Persona, Tomoe. It is still unknown if characters will be able to summon other Personae (ala P2), or if their initial Persona will be customizable (ala Digital Devil Saga).
Also, note that when Chie summons Tomoe, she touches her glasses. There has been a lot of speculation around as to what exactly the glasses are for. Though this doesn't necessarily confirm anything, it appears that the glasses play some sort of role in Persona-using.
Check it out yo.

Looks awesome. This has to be a shoe-in for a US release. I'm just wondering how long we'll have to wait for it, and whether Atlus will do a big special edition with artbook/soundtrack/etc., or a FES-like bare bones release.
Though I have no official information, Atlus generally does nice packaging for their MegaTen games over here (even the decidedly mediocre Devil Summoner for PS2 had nice packaging).
I would be very surprised if P4 didn't get nice treatment, even if only for one printing.
