Revisited 04/08/24 3:36:52 PM #12:	Well the ps2 or vanilla p4 is superior. The golden version does add some gameplay improvements and quality of life improvements but not worth it for the terrible character they added, thd worse (and less thematically relevant) intro song, and the padding. If you don't know about the minor gameplay improvements beforehand you certainly won't miss them. <cite>Revisited posted [p:979806509] in Is the ps2...

YellowSUV 04/10/24 11:30:21 PM #18:	The PS2 has a slightly better atmosphere (Golden's fog effects are worse) and it can be argued Chie's and Teddie's English voice actors are better. Also, ~~Shadow Teddie~~ sounds way better than the generic deep voice he has in Golden. Golden's gameplay improvements are really good though. I'd only play the PS2 version if you already played Golden and want to replay the game again. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! <cite>YellowSUV posted [p:979847531] in Is the ps2...

Kamil 04/10/24 11:41:47 PM #20:	I barely played Golden. I keep wanting to play it again. I got it on Steam awhile ago and got past Kanji's dungeon last I played iirc. As for Marie she wasn't bothering me at the time and I guess I liked her outfit. Plus her woe is me poems were fine. Maybe something happens later that makes her worse? I figure she ties into the main story more or why add her I guess. Anyhow I thought the original version was real cool. Interesting reading about how the fog was better in the PS2 version nice observation, remembering ability. Some of the things like manual skill inheritance are taken for granted now and I sure would get a bit peeved and reroll several times. Then I just settle. Things like that are a massive waste of time, but did add a sort of life perspective. You can't always get what you want and it was ok. Now I am just going to start to ramble but I was close to buying Persona 4 Golden on my PS4 because it was 8 bucks one time but now I got P3 Reload on a sale so I guess I am just on that now. There was a time where I was switching between multiple Persona games and I had trouble which ones I had in what game lmaonade. heh --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off.
