Persona 4 Golden is so much more than just a mere game, it’s a wonderful experience that grabs you by the beard hairs and drags you in, dominating your spare time and idle thoughts until you have reached that ending.

So if you've had the pleasure of playing the game previously, rest assured you'll have an equally hard time putting it down on the Vita, much like the original on PS2. And for new players, I envy the ability to go into this game fresh again, because it's really one of the best RPG experiences of the past two console generations. For either or, previous Persona 4 players or newcomers, this is one Vita game that can't be missed.

Uno de los mejores videojuegos que jugué en mi vida. El juego desarrolla una conexión profunda entre el jugador y este setup pueblerino con un grupo de amigos tonto, inocente, bondadoso y curioso. La conexión entre psicología, arquetipos y mitología está muy bien lograda y probablemente tiene el OST más lindo de la saga. En mi canal de Youtube @TegoJRPG tengo un vídeo de una hora hablando de todo lo que vuelve maravilloso este juego por si les interesa.

Me compre una vita y no sabía que jugar, es más, pensaba usarla solo para emular juegos de psp. Al ver que en el top de juegos de vita en metacritic este era el primero y por amplio margen me arriesgue a probarlo, nunca me llamaron los juegos de peleas por turnos. No hay vuelta atrás, la sensación de amistad que hay llega a traspasar la misma consola, sientes que estas en el juego, su historia te atrapa y te hace estar de pelos de punta al llegar a su climax. La banda sonora igual, cambia conforme avanza la historia, llegando al invierno y con su canción SNOWFLAKES sabes que la historia esta llegando a su fin. Los personajes tienen vida, conectan contigo de alguna manera u otra, simplemente es un juego que no olvidarás nunca. Espero con ansias Persona 4 Revival ya que es un juego que es irremplazable. Todo va de la mano, todo tiene una razón de porque, tu puedes elegir con quien estar, la musica suena de acorde a la situación. El juego salió el 2012 y sigue siendo un must-play.

With a well written story, relatable characters and a mystery that draws you in, Personal 4 Golden is definitely the game the PS Vita needed!

Golden is technically the fifth iteration of a formula established with Persona 3 but it feels just as appealing and engaging now as it did four years ago. No one else (literally) is making games like this and if you've somehow avoided a modern day Persona title you owe it to yourself to give Golden a shot. It's sweet icing on a delicious cake.

One of the last years best RPG just got even better. This is the one game for the format that you really can't afford to miss.

It never ceases to amaze how Atlus manages to make Japanese games that lose none of their appeal in their translation to the West. Even though this is totally banking on it's Nippon slice of life approach, its no less compatible with western audiences than any other RPG. This is an approachable and sympathetic cast of characters going through relatable hardships – you don't need to be an anime fan to get that. In light of the Vita's situation you might not want a reason to get one of Sony's struggling portables. Now you have one nevertheless.

As much as I found myself groaning through the parts I knew I would dislike-namely, the grinding and overwhelming sense of repetition that emanates from combat and time management-I grew to respect Persona 4: Golden. I can't say I completely enjoyed my time with the game, but I'm not the kind of person who would be interested in buying it. Those who are will find an admirably polished JRPG and a welcome addition to their burgeoning Vita library.

weirdest but most enjoyable game I’ve played, I love the music (except for omen I was dreading hearing it for another day), and the characters are my favourites

Honestly, I am a little bit disappointed. During 3/4 of the game, it is superb. But I felt the ending is kinda rushed and the game turns out of nowhere from an investigation game to a “kill the god” game. In the anime, the ending is better, so I hope the remake of this game fixes the issues of it. But, regarding the characters, they are the best of the whole franchise. Except for Yu, who has barely a personality, all the other characters have a natural one, you can tell they are, in fact, friends. I recommend playing only if you already played Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal (making the true ending) and want some new stuff.

I like JRPGs but this just wasn't my cup of tea. The game is beautiful and the sound is awesome. But progressing Personas through the social link system made me cringe. The 4 hour tutorial was a little much even though it eased me into the game. But if you like building relationships with people in general you'll have a blast.
