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.

The question here is: Is this game worth 250 dollars?

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

...I need an adult.

God damn I want to play this. P4 is probably one of my favorite video games. Too bad I never want to own a Vita.

This looks pretty great, seems like it's actually something worth owning a Vita for.

I bought a Vita mostly for this game and based on the amount of content in it I will not be disappointed. Also, it's going to be just excellent to play this game in short little chunks or longer ones whenever I feel like it.

The PSP did it so well and the Vita does too, being able to just quickly put it to sleep is the best thing going for handheld games.

I am actually really impressed with this thing. Seeing videos of it did not do it justice. Very smooth experience.

This and the Vita AC3 game are probably the only remotely interesting games on the system. (Other than some multiplats I guess)

It's so weird. After having watched the ER for like 2-3 times now and having played through the actual game twice, I'm still hyped about this. I actually pre-ordered the CE version when it first came available - and I never buy CE's.

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!

Persona 4 was the best JRPG game made. I would buy it again with some new features. 
I will not be conned into buying a vita, no matter how much I love persona.
 
 
 
Maybe someday the new version of persona 4 will be available without having to buy a dead system. I can hope.

Damn. I don't own a Vita, nor do I play JRPGs usually, but if this was for, say, PS3 or 3DS, I'd buy the hell out of it.

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.

Yes? A lot of adult themes in that game and a a bunch of other questionable stuff as well. Hell:

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.

Mara! Even better is in P3FES, he's used to make the ultimate FIST WEAPON.

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

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

If only I had a Vita.

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.

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.

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.
