Should I wait for Persona 4: Golden?

[sapit]

Alright, so I beat Persona 3 a few months ago and absolutely loved it. I've been dying to try Persona 4 but I decided I would wait until the Golden came out for Vita, but then it recently got pushed back to 11/20.

At the Gamestop I work at there's a copy of Persona 4 for PS2, so should I wait for the Golden, or should I just hurry up and play this game?

[icedwarrior]

That's really tough. I'd say wait for it, but I found Persona 4 to be much better than Persona 3. That's not knocking Persona 3, I just thought #4 was top-tier among RPG games. It's that fantastic.

if you have a vita you should wait i think. Golden gives more story.

if you havent played 4 till today i think this 3 months more will not break your neck.

I don't have a vita, but I was planning to get one for Golden and Assassin's creed.

And one of the reasons I'm so pumped to play it is because I got Persona 4 Arena when that came out, and I love the character and the music of that game. Only problem is, I haven't played story mode much because I'm afraid of spoiling major story points of Persona 4.

I don't think I've ever been more emotionally invested in a game's story before (Persona 4). Perhaps only Final Fantasy X...

Again, I'd wait, but just know that it's a *fantastic* game, and the wait (if I was waiting on it) would be arduous.

I'd say wait it out unless you really wanna continue playing through Arena's story mode. Persona 4 is an amazing game and it's at its best when you haven't seen spoilers.

Damn man...you're killing me here.

It's a tough wait but the payout is hella worth it. :P

I'm thinking I might just get both.

Well if that's wut ya wanna do, having P4 handheld is awesome too.

Yeah, I wound up getting it. I'll still get Golden as well. I mean, I had Persona 3 FES and Portable, and never got sick of it, so I doubt I would with 4.

Great! Now update me/us when you get to...that part. The major plot turn. I'll leave it at that.

Haha alright, it will be a while because I decided to order it from Amazon. The one at Gamestop was $30 used, and the Amazon one was $20 new, free shipping, and a soundtrack.

Nice, nice. I love the fact that all Atlus (well, Persona games, at least) come with the OSTs, artbook, etc. How I love thee.

You're making me want to play the game again, dammit. And there's so much to talk about!

And now you've got me all pumped! I love me some good plot turns.

One has to appreciate when a game comes with an ost, artbook, etc. Oh man P4 has some goooood plot twists. Ones I wasn't expecting at least.

In an industry where you have to pay extra, or it be pre-order bonuses, or go to Gamestop for X bonus, Best Buy for Y, etc. I really appreciate the extra goodies, free of charge (when it came out, anyway. Obviously it's been a few years, so it'll be hard to find 'em anymore).

The characters are fantastic, as well. Kanji was my favorite, I'm heterosexual, but I appreciate the fact that they explored sexuality in the game in a positive light.. Risette was amazing, as was Teddy. Naoto was good, too. Also, eff the villain. You know why. Better yet, who WASN'T good in the game? =p

...when is Persona 5 coming out? And on the PS3/4? Gimme, now!

Haha I've already heard quite a bit about Kanji, plus I've seen a few clips from the anime when it comes to him and his "moments".

Golden is graphically remastered with extra content - new character, new videos, moped license, more voiced dialogue as well as other extras included. If you are getting a Vita anyways I would definitely wait for Persona 4 Golden, otherwise you'll be missing out on the awesomeness. Plus playing a sequel so quickly may diminish your enjoyment of the game (or maybe not).

I did the same I played the Persona 3 FES, quite a while ago and I knew that Atlus wouldn't pass up an opportunity to rerelease it again on Vita (back then still known as NGP) as they did with FES and P3P.
