This song, among many, many other things, is why I love Persona 4 more than pretty much any other Persona game short of Innocent Sin. Listening to this and looking at my lineup of bros and sisters as we prepared to charge in and rescue somebody always got me super pumped.

I can't wait to do it again.

2020 is shaping up to be quite the year for nostalgia. Inuyasha is getting a new anime and helping to bring in the children of old farts like me who watched it back in 2003. And Persona 4 Golden is coming to Steam, introducing a whole new generation to a game that changed many lives. I am not an old time P4 fan but I still understand and respect the emotional impact it had on so many as I felt the same when I finally played it.

We don't have to say goodbye.

you stole the exact song i was going to use that i remember loving to death, backside of the tv is so good, the whole atmospheric tone of p4 is just absolutely impeccable, i'm not sure any game will ever beat this soundtrack out

anyway here's another song that's a reason to just leave the game idling, goddamn gently caress yeah persona 4

The Shin Megami Tensei IV duology has it handily beat on pure atmosphere alone.

That said, they're going for different things and I LOVE the P4 Soundtrack.

The Persona 4 Golden anime is an expansion pack of sorts. The first episode kinda establishes that the anime is a new game plus run, but then just jumps around to newly added events. The Christmas episode is quite entertaining since at that point in the game Marie had removed herself from the world and the OP changed to what it would have been if it were an episode of the original. I got to watch it on Crunchyroll but it's not worth $160.

But is Kanji's dungeon about being gay or the societal stereotypes heaped upon young men who like "feminine" things?


I bet there's gonna be loads of Marie fans. I can't wait. Without the baggage from the original they're gonna be like me and appreciate her stylish clothes, her awesome voice and her awful poetry.

Possibly the best dungeon theme in any of the Persona games, even if the dungeon theme itself was godawful.

Imagine picking Rie Kugimiya's Rise voice over Laura motherfucking Bailey. Imagine choosing that for yourself.

Snapped up, runs well, so now it's time time to... well the first two hours with auto-advance on were spent effectively watching a high school anime's very long prologue. I think this is the farthest I've gotten in P4G.

I don't like the redub of Chie and already miss the original voice actress. But are you telling me that if I swap to JP, Teddy's voice will instead make me kill myself to escape it?

I've already heard the dub, and I got used to everyone's JP voices in PQ2 so I'm not going into any pain blind.

Someone got me into the Vtuber trap of hell, there is no voice that can hurt me anymore

In addition to sounding like she's about 40, Rooney sounds weirdly sedate? It's bizarre because Chie's a loving high-energy goof.

My point is, it fails to properly convey the character. It's bad.

i mean yeah that's a great rear end theme but marie is still a bolt-on subplot that the game is better paced without. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it were optional but the game actively makes you feel weird and guilty for not finishing her link in time, and if this is your first playthrough that often means at the expense of better written links.

I’m gonna try to go in with fresh eyes and see how I feel about her with a few years distance since the last time I played P4.

Hearing all the music again gave me a huge gut punch of nostalgia. That alone was worth the $20.
