Atlus USA Announces Persona 4 Golden (Vita) for NA Release

Good news! New Teddie is not Yuri Lowenthal. Sam Riegel is Teddie's new voice actor. Though it really does sound like Yosuke doing a poor imitation of Teddie at times. Still, that should restore your will to live!

Damn, I should've thought of it. Sam Riegel for sure. No offense to the man, I mean...his Phoenix Wright was 100% on point and I love him in Sengoku Basara too, but he is not doing a good job with Teddie. I think Steve Blum would've been a better choice...

soooo.... anyone want to enlighten me on why I want this game, and Do I need to play the other persona games to enjoy this one?

Because it's one of the most highly praised JRPGs in the last several years and you likely don't have much else to play on the Vita right now anyway, and no you don't need to play other Persona games to enjoy it. Only 2 really connected to 1 in a significant manner, and then with the PSP version of 3 it connected to /4/ in what I presume was a throwaway cameo.

You could perhaps argue the element of mechanical evolution and that playing 4 will make it hard to go back to 3, but if that is a serious concern then just grab P3 off the PSN and see what you think of it, the PS2 version is up for PS3 and the PSP version dropped in price to $20 recently.

So glad Atlus USA finally confirmed it. I wonder if they'll be doing Social Link packs again, I missed out on those the first time. If you saw the responses to the PS Blog item Aram mentions "Any changes for Persona 4 Arena with regards to the voice cast *do not necessarily indicate* changes for Persona 4 Golden." So there's some hope maybe for those who are worried.

I do hope that the Platinum Trophy is called: Endurance Run.

I tend to name my protagonists from whatever is in front of me at the time. My p4 protagonist was named Bacon.

Chie's VA is changing? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Chie, my Chie! My heart is broken. Say it isn't so.

That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.

At least my other girl Yukiko is in place. but, but Chie! <tears are streaming down my face>

Teddy's VA will be diffferent? :(

Sony needs to bundle the Vita, P4G, Gravity Rush, and a 8 GB card for $299.

I've honestly never understood peoples obession with Chie, especially with Yukiko being the better female companion. As long as they don't mess with her too much i'll be happy on that end.

Also definitely more hyped for EP. I have P4 PS2, and the additions are not NEARLY enough to warrant buying P4 again.

EP's is significant. P4G's, not so much.

Well, maybe excepting Marie.


And if you have to name him, Narukami is a boss choice.

(I named him Gemini.)

So... I know almost nothing about Persona gameplay-wise. I played Persona 1 on PSP, but the beginning 10hrs seemed to drag on forever, so I dropped it. Is P3P or this one different enough to warrant giving it another shot? For what it's worth, I am a big fan of jRPGs.

Yes, most definitely yes.

Persona 1 is a piece of poop.

P3 and P4 are two of the best JRPGs in recent memory.

I used to like you Shidoshi-san.

What, why are they changing Chie's voice?

They apparently just couldn't convince the original voice actress to return. :/
 
Anyone else feel a bit weird with the marketing?

BEST RPG.

SUPER SCORES ON METACRITIC

SEQUEL TO 2ND BEST RPG

MY DICK IS HUGE

oh btw: new VA's for some of the cast.

I think the target audience for the game is mainly people who didn't play it the first time around, so it makes sense that they might downplay the VA changes. I haven't played the game before, so I won't notice.

They should just replace everyone with Nolan North. Actually, he might convincingly do half the cast.

I am still waiting for a game that does this, will buy it regardless of what the game is.

Also really happy about the Chie voice change.

Is it bad I want this just to have Persona 4 with trophies.
 
Thanks! Is there a fansite or something I could check out to see what exactly I'm getting into? Spoiler-free please!

This is the NeoGAF official thread for Persona 4

This is the Persona 3 Portable official thread.

Spoilers should be all marked so as long as curiosity doesn't get the better of you, you should be fine. ^__^
