Playing P4G is like getting Taco Bell after years of not having something like it, good enough in the moment, but afterwards doctors are going to have to write new textbooks to describe the stomach problems. The dungeon crawling is mediocre. The main story and social links are both pretty abysmal since the writers do the whole "but ackshully I'm choosing to conform to the social expectation placed on me that is clearly hurting me" for literally every single character even though it directly clashes with the theme of living your truth. On top of that this game is longer than your average JRPG due to the calendar system, which I find to be rather pace breaking in general. I can't recommend this game in good faith and it's the sole reason I don't have faith in modernsona.

I bear-live that Bearsona 4 Goldi is a good game that has some setbacks.

The presentation was very charming. The graphics and music gave me Wii vibes even though this was never released on a Nintendo cub-sole until the previous year. No issues here.

The RPG and Dungeon Crawling aspects left a lot for me to be desired, and that’s because none of them do much to stand out compared to other RPGs, making traversing through the paw-laces more teddie-ous than it needs to be. It really doesn't help that the game isn't kind to those who play it for the fur-st time. Don't go from Bearsona 5 to this thinking it will be more of the same.

The main thing that kept me clawed to the game was the story. I wouldn’t say it’s purfect, but I was engaged in wanting to go into the deep bear pits surrounding the mystery, even though I was spoiled on who the killer was. The characters were also great because the lower stakes and overall themes allows for more insight on them, and the cause they're fighting for helps build their dynamic and make them feel like true cub-panions. I wouldn’t say I like them more than the P5 cubs, but I like their development more.

The pacing isn't very good, though. Aside from the aforementioned Dungeon problems, there are many slice-of-life scenes that are supposed to endear you to the cast more, but to me they feel more like they are padding-a-ton because of how repetetive in nature they feel. And not only does the game take fur-ever to get going, it takes fur-ever to end as well.

Aside from that, I had fun with this game. Though it will take a longer while before I try out my next Bearsona game.

Oh, and did I mention that I hate Teddie’s bear puns?

Melhor jogo da franquia, ele compete com Persona 5 Royal (Sem comentários) e o recente remake de Persona 3 mas mesmo assim consegue ser único.

O Cast é de LONGE o melhor de todos os Personas, realmente dá pra sentir que são seus amigos e não colegas com um objetivo em comum como em outros jogos da franquia, acho que isso se deve pelas pausas que a trama faz pra você ter tempo de conhecer os personagens além do que os uniu inicialmente.

As trilhas sonoras são sem comentários, Heaven e Snowflakes se mantem nos top 5 de PERSONA (sim, aquela franquia que o mestre shoji meguro compôs as músicas após ouvir anjos cantando)

A gameplay em si é divertida mas não foge do que era comum da serie até ali, eu amo as interações dos personagens entre si como o Teddie gritando BEAR-SONA ou as falas da Rise quando infligem status no Yu (Senpai, don't worry. Im with you) além disso é muito bom ver a Yukiko ou a Chie dando um tapão nos garotos quando eles estão com algum status de silence/dizzy etc. Mostra muito das personalidades deles mesmo dentro das batalhas.

Apenas alguns pontos negativos que SÃO OBLITERADOS pelos pontos positivos é que o jogo depende MUITO de um guia pra você conseguir o golden ending, além disso as dungeons não fogem de 12+ andares e o jogo não te instiga a "grindar" se não for tomando um apavoro nos bosses na primeira vez que você batalha com eles toda vez, além disso a Naoto tem sindrome de scooby-doo pois toda vez que ela fala "ALLOW ME TO SAY" eu já sei que ela vai resumir as últimas 15 horas de lore como se eu já não tivesse entendido apenas por que ela é uma ace detective.

This game would've been a 10/10 but here's a few problems I had with it. #1: I like video games for gameplay, and this games gameplay is like nowhere near my favorite but I do love the story/characters & OST a lot. #2: The gameplay got a bit a repetitive towards the final quarter of the game and at that point I just wanted to speed through it and get it over with. #3: My BIGGEST problem with the game is the fake out death, I wont say who or when this happens but if you know you know. It has to be among the worst written things I have ever seen, and the reason I have such a big issue with it because all of my enjoyment from the game comes from the story/characters. When they magically brought back that character back after 10-15 minutes after FLATLINING, I did NOT have a good experience with the rest of the game. Other than these issues I really love this game and is absolutely worth playing.

Tá virando tradição acabar Persona perto do meu aniversário kkkk

Depois de umas 6 semanas com Persona 4 me despeço dessa jornada que foi bem bacana, é daqueles jogos que mesmo que com personalidades e atitudes as vezes questionáveis, você se apega demais aos personagens, num geral acho que prefiro demais este elenco ao do 5, mesmo que a historia nao tenha varios absurdos no decorrer, os momentos que dao destaque ao desenvolvimento da equipe e personagens importantes sao muito marcantes, ainda mais com toda a mensagem de se aceitar por completo, mesmo com aquelas partes que você tem vergonha ou que não se orgulha muito.

Amei a vibe de cidade pacata do jogo também, é um lugar pequeno mas aconchegante, e com a OST deixa ainda melhor, só tem música pedrada nesse jogo, principalmente as de overworld como snowflakes...

É difícil falar muito desse jogo, assim como nunca falei tanto de persona 5, pois sinto que esta franquia traz uma experiência que é muito pessoal num geral, mas certamente é um mundo que curti presenciar e vai fazer certa falta agora que se encerrou, foram personagens e dinâmicas muito bacanas de se acompanhar com mensagens que sempre tocam demais.

Cozy, homely and very creative, but doesn't quite reach the same heights as P3 for me.

Most social links are shallow and uninteresting, navigating the dungeons is a slog without more options to avoid encounters and the days could be better structured as well, with more stuff to do.

Overall, I feel it could benefit a lot from the Reload treatment, especially in the combat/gameplay, UI and quality of life aspects, with clearer indication of where and when social links are available, clearer progression, more daily activities etc. Though it'd need more than that to fix the shallow social links and weak character development.

On the brighter side, it has creativity smeared all over the screen, a banging soundtrack, a great setting in the countryside town of Inaba and all the main characters are likeable and fun.

Same thoughts as the original since I mean it's the same game like the little shit that's different really is just little like I remember waiting for this game to drop and for some reason it dropped randomly at like 7 and I was like oh shit I remember my friend was there and I thought he bought it for me since he owed me money but I asked one day he told me he actually got me v-bucks that day and I just bought the game myself and I was like oh shit fun memories but yeah anyway I like the game alot since like I said for persona Its alot easier to love a game when its not running on your phone but yeah for me it was just like replaying the same game except i go out at night, it actually runs well and i have a shitty oc character added for the fuck of it(maria or whatever her name is I hate her) but yeah I never even cared to try to unlock that maria girls dungeon like I tried but I guess I missed apart of the guide at some point or sum so I couldn't and i just beat that gas station guy since I didn't fight him in the original so that was fun lame ass theme tho but yeah I like the alt costume's i always forgot about those there cool and I don't know if I wouldve platinumed the game if it wasn't for that rise voice line trophy I heard it was tedious so I never attempted it sadly but yeah still hate Teddie too 8/10 lil less than the og only cause ion have that oh shit this is actually like I did with the og |opening 8/10 I get how the harmonica can be annoying but like c'mon if you hate this opening then you just not joyous or whimsical I'd kill myself personally if I was like that but yeah 😸
