What can I say here? It's a Persona game. It's a PS Vita version of a PS2 game that's (finally) re-released on modern consoles. I loved Persona 5. It got me into the series. That being said, I think Persona 4 Golden might be my favorite Persona game I've played so far. The pacing is much better than 5 in terms of the plot (some specific conversations can still drag on as everyone says their piece). I loved the sleepy town of Inaba and its vibes. I also absolutely loved the main cast (EXCEPT for the poorly aged attitude/reactions of Yosuke towards the mere idea of Kanji being gay).

Obviously, the gameplay itself is weaker when compared to Persona 5, but the simpler dungeon design also allowed me to fly through a lot of them instead of having to dedicate days to it (which, to be fair, is part of the charm of the Persona formula in my opinion).

I accidentally didn't get the "true" ending the first time around and had to load an old save before the "Golden" dungeon to go back and get it. After flying through the game in about a month, this caused me to take a 10 month break before coming back to finish it "properly" but man was it worth it. If nothing else, it gave me a bit of extra time and new content with the investigation team and, so far, my favorite Persona friend group.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go daydream of living in Inaba and hanging out with my friends.
