I agree about Marie as I've never been particularly fond of her but the new social link with Adachi was interesting.
Plus Marie's version of "I'll Face Myself" is great.
>Plus Marie's version of "I'll Face Myself" is great.
This. While I also never was really big fan of Marie her battle theme is easily my favorite track in the game
Original: Days pass by, with most existing pointlessly. No possible activity for that day other than maybe fishing
Golden: Multiple possible activities (even then there are still a couple pointless days)
I replayed this recently and dated Chie but man I knew that was a mistake
the game just acts like you're dating Rise no matter what you do, might as well just frickin date Rise
I guess. Going for the sweep bonus was a bit fun. But Golden's like the one fricking game in the series that did not need this version of Shuffle Time. You make the easiest game in the series next to 2IS and then you just give out tons of free level ups and nearly always beneficial skill mutations. Shit, you don't even need Golden Hands.
Marie sucks and she's a classic example of a character being pointlessly shoehorned in to sell more extra merch to lonely otakus. But, she's worth putting up with for:
>Awesome new music >Better shuffle time >epilogue >Exploring at night >Scooter trip kino >Ski trip kino >Concert kino >Winter months kino
Sure, its less concise than vanilla but the core appeal of Persona 4 was the slice of life stuff and I can't imagine wanting less of that from such a comfy game. If want a more straightforward and focused game, play P3FES.
People are forgetting Golden was the first Persona to have Demon Fusion with deterministic skill inheritance, that alone more than justifies its existence. Whenever I have to play an old SMT and spend hours opening and closing menus until I get the skills on the demon I want to rip my hair out.
same crap with Kanji and the people who want him to actually be gay
they missed the entire point
by their logic Rise should just become a gangbang pornstar
>replaces Pursuing My True Self with Shadow World
why do they keep downgrading their intros with each improved version? same thing happened with p3 and p5.
What a shit game this is. Got meme’d into buying it and I played all the way to the point Rise joins your party. It’s a fricking visual novel AND a slice of life at that, for people who don’t have social lives irl I guess? The rpg parts were sparse as frick and when you’re finally there it’s extremely tedious, fight the same monsters 1838262 times in a randomly generated fricking dungeon like it’s the 1980s.
What a shit show. At least it was on sale.
The SoL bits and extra activities made the game better. P4G got the right amount of SoL and Crawling. P5 was to bloated and FES and P4 lacked the freedom

Do you rike it?
There's a bit too much overlap with Apathy Syndrome but I think Persona Odyssey would be cool main theme. They've wanted to do an adventure thing since 5.
Worse, the new additions actively ruin the mystery of the game. Adachi now gets literally an evil version of the Fool social link where he rants about how bonds are for the weak. Marie literally reveals the existence of Izanami. Even if you don't do Marie, the game no longer ends when you defeat Ameno Sagiri so the fake out doesn't even work anymore.
Also not quite related but I can't stand the 3rd tier Persona they tacked on to this and Royal. Like there's this sense of progression where your persona all become legendary Gods to take on the big bad but now they just turn into cheap reskins of their original persona after the fact, ruining the sense of progression. The crazy thing is, they already figured this shit out in 2 where you go base persona, powered base persona, God persona.
The tone of the game is slightly different. It's a trivial thing, but that thicker fog on og PS2 is just something else. But I wouldn't lie that I would love for someone to backport the winter ski trip. Rest is eh whatever, it's a minute thing to me.

>Ski trip, Halloween, much better chie VA (hearing her old va is literal cancer, more endings, difficulty settings, concert, etc
Get the frick out of here lmao
>much better chie VA
Go back homosexual
>much better chie VA
While she had a strong start, most of her dialogue sounds like monotone later in the game. GEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
>much better chie VA (hearing her old va is literal cance
you play dubbed, you opinion is now invalid
uhm
sauce?
but also frick marie for being boring, uwu
You are clearly delusional if you believe that.

or Marie, but that almost feels like taking advantage of a moronic person
>the game just acts like you're dating Rise no matter what you do, might as well just frickin date Rise
Nanako is the true canon
>might as well just frickin date Rise
Yeah you should, she's best girl.
>ex-idol that's been passed around by her managers for years
is she?
You deflower her on christmas, so yes.
that's just what you want to believe
big difference between a regular girl who's had previous partners, and someone who was in the idol business with everything that entails
>that's just what you want to believe
Didnt play the game huh bucko
please show me the screenshot where it says she's a confirmed virgin
>Women have to be virgins until I frick them
Incel behavior
No it doesn't? She tries to drag herself all over the protagonist, but that's just her thing.
Marie is bestgirl and my wife
>what is the point of Golden
To boost the sales of this brick.
>franchise known for milking the shit of everything
>milks the shit out of everything
It added the best song in the game, Snowflakes, and gave Adachi a social link I guess.
They improved the boss design and some of the normal enemies. And Shuffle Time is better. Otherwise vanilla is better.
>Shuffle Time is better
It completely removed the shuffle part of Shuffle Time, and it gave unbelievably powerful rewards.
It’s just more fun as a mechanic in Golden.

besides wide screen and hd, all other additions make golden worse
I've played P3 original and P3 remake, P4 Golden, P5 original and P5 Royal.
And P4 Golden is still my favourite. It's just so comfy.
as it should be. marie might be shit but she is less shit than the answer or the end of royal
16:9 and japanese VA

>plays persona games for the turn based mini game
I will never understand people like you.
I see quite a few people who like breaking the game and getting OP in persona, you can get very creative
As opposed to playing for the dog shit slice of life scenes featuring the most unlikable and worthless women ever put into vidya?
>anon finds out about how atlus adds crap to just sell a new edition
Just be glad that they didn't ruin the ending like 5
I hope they fix kanji and naoto storylines in the remake
do you need to troll and shit up every single video game thread
Cry more incel
>Actually accepts she will never be a man
This is poorly written because irl trannies never do this and just cope forever lmao
same crap with Kanji and the people who want him to actually be gay
they missed the entire point
by their logic Rise should just become a gangbang pornstar
4 > 5 > 3
Golden and Reloaded are shit. Royal and FES are the only good rereleases
>royal
>good
really? from what I read it dumbs everything down.
Yknow what, let Azusa Shimada do the character designs for persona 4 remake like p3r instead of soejima. What do ya think of that
>replaces Pursuing My True Self with Shadow World
why do they keep downgrading their intros with each improved version? same thing happened with p3 and p5.
I have no idea but it is kind of annoying for sure
Adachi
Yukikos dungeon music sounds like something out of persona 3 moon boss vibe wise
*full moon mission
Everything added in Golden made the game better.
>people who like the dubbed Chie va from vanilla
jesus christ you are fricking moronic.
New dub Chie is ok at best, but still english VA
Play Japanese or frick off
What a shit game this is. Got meme’d into buying it and I played all the way to the point Rise joins your party.

i think you might like SMT Nocturne remastered more, pirate it and try it out

Persona fusion is insanely better with the QOL update
The tone of the game is slightly different. It's a trivial thing, but that thicker fog on og PS2 is just something else. But I wouldn't lie that I would love for someone to backport the winter ski trip. Rest is eh whatever, it's a minute thing to me.
The music from Marie's dungeon alone was worth the rerelease.
