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

@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).

@jimipeppr: You have to get passed the "bad ending".

Ski trip is in the beginning of the new year.

I guess I missed the skiing trip? :(

At 1:00 the lyric is "'Cause this ain't no game".

This is so exciting!

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the PSP's lifespan.

Already have this preordered, now I just need to get a Vita. Good thing Xmas is coming up, it's a good excuse to spend that money.

The video file is titled "tr_persona5"

My heart skipped a beat when I read it in my download cue.

Cool, this will probably sell some vitas.

Man they are really milking the cow with this Persona 4 success, 4 years on and still just pumping out Persona 4 stuff, hey guys make a new Persona and this time don't set it in a High School, a college setting in Tokyo would be pretty cool.

Nope. Still not buying a Vita.

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.

Inconceivably weird? Your cultural horizons aren't that broad, are they...

@SgtIronWaffle: transfarring is konami's thing but i know what you mean

i just can't stop hoping that we'll have another Jeff and Vinny endurance run some day, i don't care what game, just let these two guys do it!

the menu's look pretty crisp.

I don't wan't to buy a Vita, but this makes it really tempting.

Wait a min... Wait... a minute! Did I just see Yu do a drive by on a bicycle?

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.

'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*

Hey... kanji's scar is supposed to be on the other side. shhh... you didn't see anything.

@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.

Oh god, now we know what he's into. That and nurses.

STOP MAKING ME WANT TO BUY A VITA

This was my Vita system seller. Finally I can use the damn thing! WANT NOW!

omg I tried hitting play....

Like many GB users here... I've played Persona 4, I've watched the Endurance Run, yet I still can't help but be attracted to more Persona 4. I feel like they changed (added, more like?) so much stuff.

I don't have the money for a Vita but damn I wish I could play this.

Preordered the Assassin's Creed Vita Bundle so I could play this game. I have no regrets (yet).

I really hope this comes to another platform. Although i know it's not very likely I just don't see myself buying a Vita for just this game.

I actually bought a Vita in anticipation for this game. Playing through (or trying to) P3 portable until it comes out. Wonder how many game saves i will end up with?

Also, I feel like this game portends a P4 Golden PS3 port at some point.

WANT

This was my Vita system seller. Finally I can use the damn thing! WANT NOW!

Edit: Love the expression on Chie here:

oh come now, it's not like this is the craziest game that's ever existed.

Not gonna lie, after watching this I tabbed over to amazon to see how much Vitas are going for. This game is not worth $300. Depending on how much I have left over come tax season I may pick one up then and hope that it got a price cut to $199 or $149 by then.

EDIT: Well fuck me I might be buying a Vita. Futureshop has the system and a game bundle that comes with a $50 gift card. God dam it all.

EDIT EDIT: Dam it, that's only if you get the silly Madden bundle.

From the looks of it, there's a ton of animation in the new ski trip section. Almost makes me wish I had a Vita.

My need for this game is conflicting with my no need for a Vita.

...I need an adult.

That just means that the Vita is the P4:Golden Machine like the PSP was the Lumines machine. P4:Golden is the only reason I'm buying a Vita and I'm totally okay with never buying another Vita game ever again. I recognize that's crazy...sometimes you have to be in order to be happy in life.
