Does P4Golden add or change something from the original release that makes it more streamlined or something?

The ability to select skills passed down was a major addition along with being able to go out at night. If you've only played Persona 3 Portable, a lot of the old system was replaced with Persona 4 things, like fast travel.

Vita TV was regularly under $50 through the end of manufacturing, then Persona 4 Golden was :10bux: on top of that.

Now if you get a new unit in western packaging they can be hacked to play every game released before last fall (plus a few hidden English translations used to translate to Chinese from Japanese) and even use a USB flash drive for storage. (Firmware 3.60 for those wondering)

Well, I finally beat the game.

The PSN email sent out showing total game time reminded me I hadn't finished and so I put in the effort the past few days to finish. I'd seen the plot twist early on but even so I enjoyed the game.

If you can afford a PSTV/Vita and Persona 4 Golden you'll get a better experience. There were a number of refinements made to the game after both Persona 3 Portable and the anime were released. The biggest changes were added social links, another month of gameplay, and being able to go out at night.

Otherwise I haven't heard anything bad about the PS3 version.

If you're looking for a one time playthrough, get the Messiah DLC and the Persona 4 DLC which comes with an EXP boost accessory. No need to wear the costumes, but Messiah Picaro at 90 will blow almost everything away through mid game (especially on easy.) It does start lacking towards the end since it can't level up much with stats starting in the 50s, but by then there are other options.

It works pretty well until characters start demanding LV4/5 social stats to finish (or start) confidants.

I wish it wasn't a thing, but it's definitely a thing. God willing Persona 6 will have a mascot character who doesn't have any sort of sexual attraction to the female party members.

They can always go the Aigis or Marie route and have it be a girl obsessed with the main character.

The next episode preview makes it look like they're going to timeskip so that the later party members get screen time. Also the OP makes some things blatantly obvious.

All the DLC Personas can be summoned free for the first time and even early game where SP might be limited, physical attacks still scale in HP usage. Later on fused Persona start becoming a better option (LV90 persona can only gain so many stats before maxing out at LV99) but it makes sure you can be dating your teacher before the Hawaii trip starts.

I've not been through P5D just yet but with P3D it's pretty much that after the events of P4D Justine/Caroline (Lavenza) and Elizabeth both get into a fight over which team can dance better and they pull the characters out of a dream during their peak membership. It's canon in the same way Persona Q is, they're having a good time and there's some fun character interactions, but no one will remember.

There's a rumor going around about Persona 5 remaster called P5R. Apparently posted in Japanese on 2ch a couple days ago but mentioned a Granblue fighting game delaying P5U that was only announced today.

Do we know anything about what this new p5 thing they teased is because p5 is currently on sale but i dont want to buy it if theyre just gonna release a better version in a while.

It's Persona 5 related and more information comes out in March. A rumor was that there would be a Switch port of the game but the teaser trailer opens up with a Playstation logo.

There was a supposed Japanese leak saying Persona 5 Arena was delayed by a then yet unannounced Granblue Fantasy fighter and P5R was a complete version of Persona 5.

Speaking of Persona games, here is where I'm going to plug the Vita/Vita TV again: it's a portable Persona machine. It has 1, both 2s, P3P and 4 Golden. If you're looking for a way to get your hands on all those games, the Vita, or the Vita TV are the way to go. I have both and just pop the memory card into my Vita when I want to go out, or play it on my bigscreen. Get yours today!

A piracy exploit was released last year and prices skyrocketed.
