I have only negative things to say about them.

I have a Vita and I don't have Persona 4 Golden.
I have 1.75 left on my PSN wallet so I may have to take out my debit card, GAF is hyping this game too much.

Ok you've all convinced me to buy it 
just to be sure, do I need to have any knowledge of the previous games story/lore before I jump into this? Or is it all self contained.
Thanks!

P4G is the only Persona I've played until now and the game is fully build on its own. No ties to the previous games or whatsoever. The only connection is similar gameplay.
Ok you've all convinced me to buy it
Thanks!
Nope
I have to warn you the beginning might be bit boring.

Nope, you'll miss a few references but that's it.

PSA: It's 14.95 AUD on the Australian PSN.
I just bought it to have a digital copy. Maybe I'll go back and 100% it again one day.

I don't know why but I got bored so quickly. Am I missing anything?

Buy it! I'm not a fan of turn based JRPGs and I loved this game.
the beginning is actually very boring, that's normal. it introduces a lot to the player before you get to the actual fighting
Get it. DO it. Do it now.
In all seriousness, it's a great game. Great JRPG.Though, I like P2 and P3 better
P2 was special yeah, deserves more love!
Persona 4 Golden was my entry to the series.

The intro is a bit dull (mostly due to lack of character control), but once you are given free reign over what to do the game becomes addiction incarnate.

thanks, should be fun for trips
Well the beginning is boring and lacked characters
what were you missing? missing the actual good parts.

Bought the original PS2 version when it first came out with OST and still haven't touched it.
Bought the Vita version for £15 and still haven't touched it.
Watched most of the Giant Bomb Endurance Run? Yup. What am I doing with my life?

At that price I'm afraid you're all out of excuses for not getting P4G. I'm sorry.

Too bad theres no ps4 version of this
I'd honestly go find a cheap as shit PSTV just for this.

Welllllll, what videos have you been watching? The story and mystery at the core is a big draw, as is getting to know the characters and seeing them interact. The dungeon crawling aspect isn't the best, but it's decent. Fusing new personas can be fun, too.

Just started my 3rd playthrough a few days ago. Absolutely love this game. Thinking of picking up a physical copy just because.
Wait... what do you mean the dungeons suck? Is this one of those Witcher 3 style gamplay-sucks-but-everything-else-is-great/
Ludger Kresnik
Member
The dungeons don't suck, they're just not the best part of the game. I know there's a lot of people here who hate the dungeons but I personally don't really have a problem with them.
They are randomly generated which makes them boring to explore
heh I would give Witcher's combat more credit than that

It's okay, the beginning is pretty boring. That said I found most of the game uninteresting except for some characters. While everyone says it's the best, it might not be for you.
Depends on what you are watching. Most of the 'fun' comes from the interaction with the characters. Battles can be fun but the dungeons themselves are tedious.

How's the combat in this? I don't mind randomly genrated dungeons if the core combat it fun and there is loot and stuff to be found.

Not so much loot, but combat is fun. It just starts to drag a bit when the dungeon over stays it's welcome. Though to avoid that I tend to sprint to the end.
Fun and very simple turn based combat. hitting enemies weaknesses and all out attack never gets old.

Wanted to buy, but fuckin psn can't process the payment. Tried both paypal and bank card.
And it's close to impossible to find cartridge in my country.

Good to know. Fun combat is a must for me.
When you say 'simple', I hope you don't mean too simple... you know I'm probably overthinking this for something that costs seven quid. I'm flying to the US next week for work and this could be just the thing since there is f**k all I want to play on my Vita right now.
it's not that simple but it doesn't get super crazy complex either. the real complexity is in persona fusing and that got streamlined a looooot for golden.
Let's put it this way - how many JRPGs have you played where buffs and debuffs were actually a huge deal? Because if you don't learn and use them, you will get owned.
Not too simple, but it doesn't have as much depth as games like FF13 or Bravely default for example.

Absolute steal at that price. If anyone isn't convinced about getting the game yet, check out Giant Bomb's endurance run. If that doesn't sell you on the game, nothing will.

A freaking steal at that price. If you don't have it, you should get it so that you have it because you need it.
