This Latest Persona 4: Golden Trailer Reminds Us That Persona 4 Is Still Insane

Bonkers. Out-there. Nutso. Crazypants. Wackadoo. Inconceivably weird. And that's why we love it.

God I love the music in P4 so much, it's so damn infectious.

I'm not quite sure if I'm going to be buying this however, at least not sure if I will right away. I've watched the ER a good two (maybe three?) times at this point, so I know the story fairly well, though it still looks fun to play and the things that they are adding look like they could be fun.

Hm.

I'd support a Persona 4: PC Edition.

This seems like the best trailer so far- nothing too complicated- just a straight pitch of what makes the series great- at least for me.

Votes on whether P5 is something with either the pre-existing cast- or at least continues the universe?

Why are so many trailers coming out for this? It seems like there is a new one every week. (not that I'm complaining it just seems weird)

At this point what games aren't categorised as ''weird, crazy, insane, and/or dumb''? By virtue of how many games the staff call out as being weird ect., being weird is like the norm.

Not going to deny that Persona 4 isn't an exceptionally weird game, though.

I bet it will be new people, as all persona games have been so far.

Hope they stay in the P3/P4 universe though.

Still not buying a vita.

Buying a Vita for this game. Sure, I have a couple of other flimsy reasons for a Vita (Assassin's Creed 3, Gravity Rush, a couple of digital PSP games, etc.) but it's mostly just for this game.

Persona 4 is an extremely normal game, though, at least compared to many others. At least half of the game isn't even comprised of supernatural stuff.

Actually, I'd say I love it because it is grounded and set in modern day devoid of fantastical elements compared to so many other games.

Persona 4's pretty grounded compared to other JRPGs. This isn't fucking Ar Tonelico.

I'm pretty sure that I could never enjoy this game without Vinne and Jeff talking through it. Make that definitely sure. If they made the endurance run Vita exclusive then I might get a Vita.

My thoughts exactly. The only thing the Vita has that could tempt me is this, and with no price drop I can't buy it. Stop mocking my poorness Sony!

Arg. Please release this on PC or something. I really want to play it but I cannot justify $200 to play one game, especially since I've already played the core game before.

I cannot wait. Apart from the part where I'm going to have to buy a Vita, those things aren't cheap.

I would love to play PERSONA 4 GOLDEN, but it's not worth buying a single game for the cost of the Vita. Now, if they made this a PS3 game or put it on PSN. That I would swiftly buy.

Yeah I think I'll look into buying a Vita for this. I got pretty far into the original before my PS2 console exploded. It'd be nice to finally beat this.

The new All-Out Attack animation looks awesome, as do the tag attacks and the new animated cutscenes.

If only I had a Vita.

but there's several moments in the game when they could have pushed it a little further. I though they kept it relatively tame to conserve a T rating but apparently not.

Once I get this I'll have every version of Personas 2, 3, and 4. If only I could find a decent price for the PS1 version of Revelations Persona and I'd be set.

Why not the PSP remake? You may be able to get it on the PSN store for Vita.
