Hm, hadn't realized Chie got a new voice for golden...

That is bad... Maybe not the voice... but the acting... Then again, Chie's acting from regular wasn't any better. Maybe Atlus just has a terrible voice director? Then Yuri Lowenthal doesn't sound bad... but then again he's actually a professional voice actor...
You'll be fine. P4 is a great way to get into the series.

You don't need to play P3. There are references, and it makes Persona 4: Arena make sense, but for P4 proper? Not really.
...Whoa.
Didn't P4G sell more than the original?

But you can never make it harder than the hardest difficulty in P4OG.
I don't think it really matters in the end though, P4 in every version has always been pretty easy.
Sorry I was AFK. The numbers come from mid 2009 and cover a 6 month period for which Persona 4 was not released in Europe. The game was also still in print until 2012 (or at least late 2011) as I remember seeing new copies supplied by amazon and other retailers up to that point (when I bought my copy.)
People seem to think I'm trying to put down what P4G has achieved, no it did fantastically, but there's no proof it did better than the original P4. I platinumed the game and spent 120 hours on it, so I don't have some sort of alternative agenda. But people keep saying all over the forum that P4G outsold P4 without any proof whatsoever.
Because people decided to shout at me on the internet, I looked at the stupid site that tends to be stupidly innaccurate just to see out of curiosity which side they take. They seem to think I'm right, but again they're accuracy tends to be off. Truthfully, neither side has proof, but again neither side has sources and there is so much pre-mature rejoicing for P4G being the best selling Persona game when there's no proof for that. All this has shown me is that Vita "enthusiasts" are a little too enthusiastic.
You obviously didn't read the last page of terrible. The answer is yes.
New Chie is vastly superior. We even did an interview with her.

haha, this one stings with the way the resale market values the physical copy these days.

The Golden/PSN version split is going to be a P3P/FES holy war again isn't it?
Direct control vs animu cutscenes
Fast Foward vs 'real Chie.'

Way too late. Golden outclasses it completely. There's no way I'd ever go back to the original.
Golden has new social links, new events, new cutscenes, new characters, new locations, a new dungeon, a better post-battle chance game, and fusing Personas has been made far simpler (you can now choose which abilities are inherited, rather than it being randomly determined, forcing you to repeatedly back out and open up the menu again).
Persona 4 Golden is worth owning a Vita for. Even if only temporarily. I bought a Vita just to play P4G, and sold it afterwards. Do that, or just grab some other Vita games.
Saying Chie's new voice actor makes the Golden the inferior game is fucking stupid. Before I bought the game, I saw a video of one scene in particular that made me cringe (the part where she freaks out after Yu and Yosuke get lost for a bit), but that was the only scene I had a problem with her. The rest of the tine, she was fine, and I stopped noticing very fast.

With P3P, it's debatable (although P3P is clearly the superior version because of FeMC), but with Golden there's no debate. It literally plays better as a game, which is the most important part isn't it?

Cool might give it another try, currently enjoying FES on PS3.
I think you got your data backwards here pardner. P3P plays better than FES and has a FeMC. It just doesn't have animated cutscenes and the Answer. Not saying people can't have their own favorites of the two, but you had them backwards.

Yes, I edited my post. lol
P3P is the superior game, Golden is the definitive game.

NOPE!
Nothing worth arguing with here, although some people really like the Answer for some reason.
You are going to end up like many people, love persona 4 and want more . But the only game available is persona 3

It also lacks an explorable over world or in-game cutscenes using the models.
You assume Europe had a significant supply and demand.
You assume it had to have new copies because they were in print (when it was more likely to be selling what was left of stock, games would never be in print that long, especially a niche game like P4)
Every piece of evidence available suggests it has done better. You are literally ignoring the many links thrown at you. Of course you're acting like you have an agenda.
Your next mistake was looking at ******** (apparently its censored, lol) at all.
The other side has thrown a ton of proof at you. You've ignored it or tried to wish it away with logical fallacies.
I think you're somehow assuming the sales of P4 over its second 6 months would somehow be comparable to its first 6 months. That is silly and never the case.
Not to mention, I see you've shown your agenda with your last sentence there...

bwahahaha P3 FES >>>>>> P3P any day of the week. FeMC is forgettable.
What's the point in getting P3P when you can get Persona 3 FES on PS3 now that it's out as a PS2 Classic? Really people, don't get P3P, it's definitely the worst version of P3.
More like people like FMVs, exploration as opposed to a few menus and the whole story?

The cutscenes are the bigger loss here, although neither one is significant. You don't really lose much by not being able to walk around. In fact, the P3P version is faster.
Have you played it? The female MC is much more interesting, gets different social links, gets to view things from a different perspective, etc. If you really like the answer fine, but how can P3P possibly be worse than the original? It even has better combat than the other versions.

You are making a pretty big stretch there...
I take this is a joke reply? I didn't even use the FeMC, that's not the issue with the game.
P3P also adds some great music.

P3 FES is the best version, but if you already played the original P3 I think P3P is a better complement.

Not only is she forgettable but she doesn't even fit the tone of the game. She's so out of place. One thing I've noticed with both P3P and Golden is that they add certain elements that just don't fit the original vision of the games in my opinion. Some of the new events in Golden are just...no. Some are great though, like the Ski Trip.
FeMC was a nice change of pace, as opposed to Yosuke telling me this everyday
its true but cmon
Soul Phrase was introduced in P3P too, wasn't it? I love that song.
Breakin Through is still the superior Kita Shuuhei Persona song

It's called videogames, Yosuke, the place where all your dreams come true.

Playing the hell out of P4G at the moment. Loving it.
However, a friend of mine who just got a PS3 wants to play P4. He is excited by this news.
