Neat, but not enough to make me buy a console that seems like a massive failure and play a game I already have played twice.

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.

Persona 4 Golden is going to be tight, new tanks to kick, new girls to make me feel awkward, and question how much power this game has over me, and new dungeons, oh... oh, fuck, I hate dungeons.

I guess some of you guys must feel this way, so here it is.

I've never played Persona 4. My only experience with the game is through watching the Endurance Run. It looks like a game I would thoroughly enjoy and a perfect fit for the Vita, but here's my problem. Persona 4 exists in my head as the story of Charlie Tunoku and his adventure with his friends. To me, the story of Persona 4 has already been told, and by playing through it again in a different way, it won't be the same story, and I'm not sure if I want that.

Probably sounds super lame, but that's how I feel. I really want to play Persona 4, particularly this version, but I don't think I could distance myself from the story that I already know and enjoy it in a new light.

Anyone get what I mean?

I'll buy this if I travel to the US of A. The Vita's still too expensive to import, and so are its games

I'm assuming that some of the new stuff included recorded dialog, but do you think they were able to get the original Teddy and Chie voice actors back? Or are they just using the P4 Arena actors?

I still can't get over the voice actor changes. Chie and Teddie just don't have the same personality as in the original.

Pretty sure it's gonna be the P4A VAs.  Not sure about Teddy, but Chie's VA usually doesn't do anime stuff.  P4 was very much a right place, right time thing that won't be happening again.

I totally understand.  But I also think you're totally crazy.
