I don't know if the game is just that good or if the game just has some sort of brainwashing power that makes you love it.
All I can say is, if you own a PSVita you need to play this game!! If you don't own a Vita, go out and buy one and then play THIS GAME!!!

It looks absolutely beautiful on the OLED screen with new and improved HD visuals. This doesn't just look like a new gloss... it looks like a brand new game. A new online dungeon system allows you to ask for help if your having problems and other LIVE users will instantly send you tips and helpful hints. The main new feature though is the brand new character, Marie, with a new social link and brand new (and very interesting) storyline. Also, 40% more of the dialogue has been voiced with this remake.
My only problem with this game is that there is no option to select the original Japanese voices in the game. Which don't get me wrong, most of the English voice actors have done an amazing job but the NEW voice actor for Chie is so annoying that it nearly ruins that particular character, which is a real shame. The music is a huge highlight of the game, too. It's amazing that J-pop can be played for countless hours at a time yet it never gets old in this game and you'll constantly find yourself bobbing your head to the beat.
Overall, if you have never picked up a Persona game then this is THE BEST place to start. If you like JRPG's you MUST have this... Heck, if you own a PS vita then you MUST have this. It's by far the best game out on the vita right now and probably will stay that way all the way through 2013. Rent this NOW!

Turns out this was the best decision of my life. EVERY SINGLE THING about the game is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I have a new favorite series thanks to this game. This is now my all time favorite game until probably Persona 5 comes out.
Amazing storyline, Amazing characters, just amazing everything, forever.

This has got to be my favorite game of all time.

In this game, the basic plot is that there have been some strange happenings in relation to a rumor going around school about a mysterious Midnight Channel that is supposed to be able to show you the face of your soulmate. Upon trying this, you and your friends realize that this is more than just a harmless rumor, and something must be done to stop whatever is going on.
The game plays like a true turn based RPG in battles, and a third person dungeon crawler outside of battle. Encounters are not random, as you can see the enemies in the dungeons before you get into a fight with them, which can be used for extra training or avoiding battles depending on what the situation calls for.
Outside of dungeons, one of the areas this game excels in is creating a kind of life simulator, where you can build bonds with friends and various people around town by improving your social link with them. You can have a girlfriend, and do various activities such as studying or part time jobs to either work on personal skills, or earn money, or even both in some cases.
Another great thing is that this game practically requires more than one playthrough in order to experience all of the content it has to offer. If you're looking for a timesink, look no further as this game can easily eat away over a hundred hours like it was nothing.
This game truly has it all, from a great story that keeps you guessing, to awesome character interactions and developments, along with a great battle system and an environment that draws you in and makes you want to keep playing and playing.
If you haven't tried this game already, get your hands on a copy asap. You won't regret it for a second.

Just Wow

Word of warning though is that there are some points where you will be sitting through 10-15 minutes of cut scenes for one reason or another. It's a very story heavy game but if you like that sort of thing (like me) then it's not a problem. Most of them are funny or heavy plot oriented and a joy to watch. If you're new to the persona games that's not a problem either as the game is pretty stand alone with only a few persona 3 references thrown in.
Anyway I'm just blown away by this game. It's the first game to make me actually lose track of time because I'm so engrossed with it. I'm even starting a second play through already. It's just that fun.

Brilliant Reboot of the Original!

I was not disappointed in the slightest with P4G. They take the original P4 and build on it to make it even better - new characters, new cutscenes, new Personas, new endings, new options to play with. It's not overkill, mind you. Everything ties in and captures the overall 'feel' of the original P4.
Don't doubt this title. Not even for a second. It will strike a chord within you and as you progress into the game, you will feel a true bond with the cast, as is typical for the Persona series. Nonetheless, this game is incredible.
The main reason I bought a Vita, in fact.
It's THAT good.
If you're a long-time RPG fan, this should be a no-brainer for you. Rent it. Play it. You know what, honestly - I'll bet you're going to want to buy it. Seriously.
If you're a newcomer to RPGs, go ahead and give it a try. You're bound to find something you like, whether it be the characters, gameplay, storyline... it won't disappoint.
I'll keep this part short and simple. They took a near-perfect game (Persona 4) and added on to it to make it perfect (Persona 4 Golden).
You won't regret it. :)

If you have a Vita and don't already own this game you are doing yourself a great disservice. When you are done with the game's 40+ hour campaign you can check out the other Persona games on the Playstation Network, all playable on PSVIta.

Not a game for everybody despite the reviews

+ Great Graphics.
+ Great Style.
+Modern Setting.
+ Good Battle system.
+ Traditional JRPG.
- Lots of Loading and while brief it is frequent and annoying.
- Annoying English Voice Actors and could not find an option for Original Japanese Voices.
- Not for Everyone despite reviews saying otherwise.
I have only played the original Persona on PS1 and remembered liking it ok so when I got a new Vita and was looking for games to rent I saw the rave reviews and gave it a rent. I will say it is not a bad game just an average JRPG with a cool setting. The dream sequence battle scenes were the highlight and pretty fun. The rest of the game is a cel shaded version of high school life. The voice actors are really annoying and a couple of the girls wil make you want to turn off the game they are so bad. Also the loading times are very frequent. Most are not very long thankfully but do happen way too much. If you love JRPG's then you will probably like it and have a good time. If you don't then try the demo first since despite reviews claiming it the greatest game ever, it is for genre fans only. Good game but not for everyone.
