Nah.
The pick up and play aspect of it on a handheld makes it much better.

Buy a Vita people. This game is just incredible on it and I can't see me going back to playing vanilla Persona 4 after having experienced Persona 4 Golden.
The vita screen does a decent job of hiding the low quality assets in p4g.

and alot of other people already played Persona 4 on ps2 4 years ago and simply want to replay it again.
not everyone has a vita
Mate this ain't no experience war. Golden is by far the better game but I'd rather have lots of Persona 4 fans period.

It works for certain types of JRPGs, but I always feel I can never put as much time into the systems or pay as much attention to the story if it's on a handheld.
You'll be right when they get suspend and resume going on PS4 games.
I prefer the bigger screen and better sound.
Also I'm not in a rush, and I tend to play RPGs for hours at a time, so pick up and play doesn't mean that much to me.
There's some silly stuff that got added for Golden, but fusion searching and being able to select your skills are massive improvements.

Of course if you will never own a Vita then it's worth playing the original version on PS2/PS3.

Hard for me to downgrade from the Vita version.
apparently not, according to Atlus, or I'm sure they'd do it. They probably feel like they'll get the same or more profit from a PS2-on-PS3 release. *shrug*

Not even close to true, OG P4 outsold it.

Honestly, the PS2 version is inferior in almost every way. I feel bad for anyone who has to play it that way.

It did 700k world wide, how much did og persona 4 do?
Facts from the ass, gonna need a source for that one. You don't have one because it's not true. Both Catherine and OG P4 did better for Atlus in terms of sales. Profitability is probably far higher on P4G, but that wasn't the original point of contention.
Edit: your source ignores europe and uh, is from the first 6 months of data. With a game like P4 that was still getting reprints, I doubt it stayed at 110,000 in the US.
Where are your sources?
Good headphones and the proximity to the screen make it about the same for me. And the pick up and play aspect make longer sessions easier to get into and get out of. Not to mention how its good for short sessions. One reason the suspend and resume is one of my most anticipated feature for PS4. Its very easy to overlook how nice it is.
Old news, man. It wasn't double, but it was about the same as the original with it on a platform with much less sales.

EDIT: To note, I find conflicting sources for P4's sales count, but none more than P4G.

Persona 4 Golden has shipped 700k, Dragon's Crown 800k Worldwide
The same can be said of P4G. Remember, this is one year old news.

Please come to ps3 or ps4!!!
Hell yeah (I hope)
Most likely going to be the best selling Atlus game by far, sure.

I wonder if it can beat demon souls in the west.
What rumor is this? I'd die.
Ah, but of course.
Prepare to Casual?
/Shipped/ Also again that's the first 6 months of P4 in 2 regions vs more than a year of P4G in 3 regions. I'm not the one making the ridiculous claim, I was simply refuting the claim with no proof (you all seem to think vague sources that point to P4G doing pretty well is proof it did better than P4?) Do you think if P4G had outsold P4 that it wouldn't have been announced?
The burden of proof is not on me, but on the person who claimed it was the best selling, and thus far nothing suggests that it is.

Seriously guys... just get a Vita TV and get the vita game whenever it's on sale for 20 bucks. It goes on sale like every other month.
I'm not claiming anything. I am asking where you got your numbers from, since you've literally been seemingly pulling them out of the air until now without providing any source at all while you turn around and complain that other people are not providing sources.
Agreed.
The idea of watching 10-20 minutes of story on a handheld doesn't feel particularly conducive to a pick-up-and-play experience.
It's great that I can take a game like P4G on a plane with me - but that's a very different experience to having 15 minutes between train-stops to have a quick bash at something.

Assuming it's a game that you've played before, the ability to fast forward through the conversations is a godsend. And if you fast forward too much? You can just use the log to listen to the dialog again.
Nope.

Vita has no retail presence, you can't channel stuff a Vita game, especially a niche JRPG. Anything shipped is likely sold and no not really, the series is more popular now than it was back then.

Well, it sold enough for ATLUS to actually make an announcement. I don't remember if they ever did the same for P4.
