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.

@SgtIronWaffle: Kinda weird to be calling out Sony isn't it?

@crusader8463: Sold my 360 and the handful of games I had for it, ended up getting the Madden Vita bundle for 50 dollars. Then mid-transaction also trading in the very same Madden game that came with it. So I walked out of there paying 27 dollars for a Vita and knowing full well I'll get more enjoyment out of this single game here than I ever did with my 360. No offense, the exclusives just don't mean that much to me.

Also, Sound Shapes and LBP are brilliant on this thing. Really surprised. I was certain the Vita would be kind of a disappointment overall and it's only redeeming value would be playing Persona 4 anywhere. It turned out this thing is pretty awesome just in general.

'H-hey guys... is that, is that a Vita?'

Yea Ghoul... I just got it...

'Cool...I hear it's really neat... Think, think I could give it a try?'

Uh... Maybe later. I just started and I kinda wanted to get some time in...cause I'm actually on my lunch break...

'Yea, cool. Maybe next time!'

Yea...maybe next time... *sighs and goes back to playing*

lyric about "this ain't no game" and immediately all I want to do is go home and watch the whole TANG archive.

Jesus, we need some new TANG entries! We've already got two more live-action Resident Evil films AND another CG one, a CG Tekken movie, Prince of Persia, and then Scott Pilgrim and that crappy 'Still Alive' horror movie...

A couple of those would be more in the WU-TANG category.

Come on, Sony. This would be great for your stupid-- I mean amazing Transfarring idea, right? Come out with a PS3 version and support your Transfarring thing! *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

I can't begin to put into words how much I wish there was a PS3 version coming out instead.

This, because I can't justify buying a vita to play P4 again, as much as I really want to. Maybe there will be a price drop or more games I'm interested in coming out.

Soooo I started watching the anime last night, which is already pretty fucking uncharacteristic of me, but hey, it's Persona 4. I genuinely laughed out-loud at afew points. It's pretty alright.

It gets better as it goes along, too. They fit a surprising amount of things from the game in.

It's funny how when there's a game people want for the Vita, they want it on another platform but when there isn't, they say the thing has no games.

(I'm overgeneralizing, but I believe there's an element of truth to that statement)

Put me in the group of people buying a Vita just for P4: Golden, although I'm hoping I can find a copy of Disgaea 3.

Isn't Transfarring a Kojima idea, not Sony?

For everyone saying "Looks great, Vita's still too expensive though..." (read: every other comment) just keep a tab up on Amazon and eBay and refresh it every day. I found someone selling a Vita on Amazon for $120, in mint condition with Mortal Kombat and an 8gb stick. There are plenty of people who bought a Vita when it first released, who aren't waiting for the slew of JRPGs coming to it and just want to get rid of it now because the releases have been really slow this year.

If you really want Persona, just keep your eyes open. I wouldn't have bought a Vita for full price, but for what I paid I couldn't be happier with the system. I barely touched Mortal Kombat, but Gravity Rush was a lot of fun, and Virtue's Last Reward promises to keep my Vita in my hands for the rest of the year.

@jedted: yeah, I figured. After I started watching the P4 Endurance Run I bought and played through P3 and P4:G... didn't realize I'd gotten the bad ending until I went back and finished watching the ER (though I was wondering why it was only ~ 50 hours and P3 was ~ 100 lol).
