If you're not willing to weasel out of work and cancel all other engagements to go see Miku on a Wednesday then I can't help but question your devotion

im only playing P4G for the first time now, first persona game I've ever played. I really like the characters, story is fun, the JRPG battling is pretty good. helps that the presentation is great, too. Maybe people overrate it but personally I'm really enjoying everything in it a lot.

If you have literally just started playing it then I am not surprised since it starts with 4 hours of boring set up.

Eh I just went with whoever I liked for final party since MC will solo if worse comes to worst. Also the SP ring is great with almighty dmg.

The story in Persona 4 Arena was dumb but I liked that Naoto's story mode segment was like her own detective visual novel or something

You're on pretty heavy rails until you've finished the first real dungeon, then your options for how to spend time really open up

e: I'd say the 6-8 hour mark is when you know for sure if you're going to enjoy the game

There's something really oppressive about the time-limit environment, where you have to choose how to use your time so carefully. I feel as if the game is going to screw me over at any moment if I choose the wrong way to spend my day.

Should I worry about this too much?

the only way you could possibly go wrong with the time management would be to go home every single day, and even then it'd just make the game a little harder

especially since golden gives your party so much extra stuff compared to the base game you'd have to be trying not to end up overpowered as the game goes on

if you are worried about the time limit, just spend as much time as you can in the dungeon each day until you beat the boss of that section. then you're free to hang out with your anime friends until the next victim.

i hate time limits in games, but it's totally not a problem in p4g.

Grab EDF digital, and lend the cartridge to friends for some ad hoc co-op!

My condolences. Most of my close friends own Vitas. In my immediate friend circles, I'm looking at double digit numbers. Of course, we're all broken otaku garbage, so maybe you're better off here.
