I ignored this trailer for over a week. I'm never going to own a Vita, and I've played persona 4 twice AND watched the endurance run twice, what more could I want.

I WANT THIS FUCKING GAME!!!!!

@YI_Orange: Nah, I get you. I always feel like I'm missing out with re-releases, too. Stuff like you mention (cosmetic options and additional equipment) could probably be handled through DLC now, but Japanese devs have tended to struggle with that business model.

God dammit. I hope Persona 5 doesn't get this treatment. Just give us all the cool stuff from the get go. I don't want a vita nor do I want to sink another 80 hours into Persona 4. But some stuff in here looks great and I'm jealous.

You know that this stuff was all developed way after the original game's release, right? Theoretically, they could develop amazing content for Persona 5 until they went bankrupt from delaying the launch.

I know, and it makes me sad. See, I want everything but I'm not gonna wanna wait to play P5. I'm not legitimately angry at them or anything. Mostly, I want the costume changes. I'm a sucker for costume changes in games and I think every game should change your appearance with your equipment(I know that's a pain in the ass to animate though). Another anime cut scene here or there would be cool, and another fun-times event would be awesome, but really just give me the costume changes and I'll be happy.

I bought a vita for this game a couple months back when it came with a free gift card (which i used to pay for persona). Man this game cannot come out fast enough. Also, third time this game has been street dated and pushed back. I think they backed out of the 30th of October so they wouldn't have to compete with Assassin's Creed on the vita.

This stuff looks great, but probably not enough for me to get a Vita. I'm at least glad that you can walk around town, unlike in P3P.

This game is the main reason I am considering getting a Vita. With Tearaway and Gravity Rush being the only other games I have seen that seem any good.

If the quicklook of this doesn't start with "Hey, i'm Vinny!" "And i'm Jeff" "And welcome to another episode of Persona 4" then i'm going to be really disappointed.

I'm still baffled by the M rating for these games...I've watched 100 episodes of the endurance run and I'm still not seeing it.

It probably just skirts the edges far too many times. Every individual piece of the game could probably fit under the teen rating, but when you add it all up together, it is a game chock full of mature themes from end to end. Kanji and Rise's dungeons probably pushed it the most.

Not to mention the hefty amount of swearing, though I'm not caught up on how much that actually influences the rating.

Mara probably helps with the M rating as well.

Anyone know why was the subtitle changed from The Golden? I mean, it's not a big deal at all, just curious.

@pekoe212 Yeah some people with import copies confirmed this on a few sites when it was released in the summer for Japan. I'd post links but don't want anyone being spoiled on the story if they've never played it.

Good thing it's coming out towards the tail end of November. I should be done with most of the biggest releases of 2012 by then.

@CH3BURASHKA: Yes in this version of the game (according to the JP version) you can select what skills a fusion will receive with the normal rules that some personas can't learn certain spells. The random dice roll isn't a factor any more.

Really? REALLY?! If that's true, I am psyched.

Perhaps the second game I'll actually enjoy on the system after New Little King's Story, which is totally bad ass.

Also, was that video 60fps?

That is a pre-order bonus (or an item in the 'golden edition'). There's a whole thread on it here.
