Fuse demons and then do social links that correspond to those demons, which in turn lets you fuse stronger demons. Don't do social links if you don't have a demon of the same Tarot. Eventually you'll get more demon slots and you can start making demons for the other Social Links and then do them.

Already have Steins;Gate. Striving to the to the good ending! But it's really different though, since you don't really choose...almost anything
Anyway, too many people recommending Non-VITA games! lol

Lost Dimension (Vita), I guess, that has a relationship system also which has an effect on the gameplay battles too. In that you're trying to root out traitors, rather than just growing close to people. It's pretty similar to something that Atlus would make I think (former members of Atlus worked on it), but nothing much like Persona, more like a SMT spin off with a completely different battle system. It's a really good game though.
EDIT: Also Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time (PSP/Vita) is developed by Atlus, it's a hybrid SRPG with relationship system with various characters. Amazing game, one of my favourite on the PSP, actually. Far better than Trails in the Sky, imo (the battle system seals it).

Play on Very Easy and it's a cake walk. Assuming you only care for the story, which it seems you do.

Oh, sorry didn't realize you only had a vita.
I'm sure it has been stated before, but Trails in the Sky is really good too. The PSP game Tactics Ogre is easily one of the best. Muramasa Rebirth, Daganropa, Ar nosurge, Gravity Rush, Demon Gaze, Disgaea 4, and Bastion are my personal favorites.
P3P has better scenery music (Sun, Iwatodai Dorm), but P4G has better battle themes and dungeon music. Tartarus probably has the worst dungeon music of any RPG that I've played. Both are good soundtracks though.

Yeah. I love how progressive p4 can be on both kanji and naoto

There is a separate mode in each Danganronpa that is entirely just you building social links with each character.

This thread really hyped for this game. Just ordered the game and vita memory card
Is that the School Mode or whatever? Yeah, I didn't end up doing that. Like you said, though, it's an entirely separate mode. Like Mercenaries in Resident Evil.
As for Marie, her social link wasn't all that great, but her dungeon and backstory were a nice surprise. Her hat is dumb, though.
AmuroChan

Right, so the OP can just play those modes since he loves the social link stuff in P4 so much.
You don't unlock that until after beating the game and it isn't a part of the canon storyline. It's not really a great substitute.

There are exactly three games that made me feel empty inside upon completion in recent memory.
Persona 4
Danganronpa
Danganronpa 2
Play Danganronpa.
Persona 4
Danganronpa
Danganronpa 2
Play Danganronpa.
It really is THAT good. You just need to give it a little time to get started.

It's a fast-paced murder mystery that absolutely oozes style just like Persona 4 does. It also deals with some of the growing pains of being a teenager just like P4 does, with some characters directly comparable.
However, the tone is also very different. This is NOT an optimistic game like P4 is. When a character in P4 accepts themself, they get a Persona and more confidence/the means to change/an optimistic outlook for the future/etc. When a character in Danganronpa accepts themself... well, let's just say whoever your favorite character is, he/she will probably die horribly.
Gameplay-wise, it's a visual novel with investigation segments, something similar to social-link building, and trials like Ace Attorney, but with an amalgam of mini-games rather than just pointing to evidence.
One of Troy Baker's best performances. Some of the way he delivers the lines cracked me up so hard.

At the risk of this having been asked already...can one get into Trails of Cold Steel without having gone through Trails in the Sky FC & SC?
Yes. It's recommended, if you've played FC to play SC before Cold Steel, but Cold Steel to FC is fine. They take place in different countries, although there are nods to previous games in Cold Steel and foreshadowing for Cold Steel in TITS.
Playing through this myself. Played the original, and I'm loving the additions. Marie is tsundere, but it only seems to be when
or talk to her and don't agree to hang out. She's okay with me. Didn't know Teddie's VA was different, but yeah Chie's new VA is awful. That high pitched squeaky voice is hard to listen to. And why doesn't Yu
And I have to say the beach scene was hilarious.
I think P5 will have a breeze of a time being as good of a game as P4/3, overall. Mechanically, it will be better. I love the thief/Lupin vibe they're going for...I actually was hoping they'd do something that like and then they did. My only concern is the cast. They'll be cool, but Kanji and Nanako are some of my favorite JRPG characters ever. They'll be hard to top.

Damn, the last boss is HARD!
Edit: Ok, so I just finished watching the True Ending...
Holy shot, can anything top this? P3 was amazing, but this game is God-tier!
If P5 comes out better than P4G...damn!

Only in New Game Plus (which also adds custom difficulty options so you can, say, make battles more difficult but make EXP and money drop in loads).

You can't change difficulty midgame, but I found Normal to be pretty much perfect- Only a few instances of grinding and bosses are difficult enough to be engaging. Except for fusing one or two good Personas when I was stuck, I didn't consult a guide at all. I honestly doubt anyone would pick Very Easy for a reason besides caring only for the story (and even then again that's enough justification for me to make the battles difficult enough for them to have meaning but whatever).

P4G is actually pretty compared to vanilla. I recommend playing on Normal!

Just got the same feeling from beating Trails in the Sky SC. Some games are truly special.

Right now I've got Danganronpa to beat! Always felt curious with this one!
With so many people recommending Trails in the Sky I might take the plunge after beating Danganronpa!

Why is everyone trying to sell me on this series, I have a huge backlog already :c
You couldn't beat the boss yourself? I never thought it was hard but then again I was playing on normal.
after playing Catherine I think the team are still capable of delivering a great and mysteries story.
True words right here.

On the Trails front, although TiTS has its charms, Cold Steel would be a better match for Persona. TiTS (at least first chapter) feels more like Lunar or something. Cold Steel reminds me of a mix of Suikoden and Persona.
That's a good choice too!
Because it's that good, screw the backlog

If that's your main concern, go for it. You can knock the dungeons out in a single in-game "day" and there is ton of plot and filler in between them. Hell, put the battle system on easy, even. The vast majority of the game is outside of the dungeons. They are indeed bullshit though.
If I play on Normal, I'll be making the same mistake I made with P4 and give up on the dungeons. I won't know if I made the right difficulty choice until 5 hours into the game. If I make the wrong choice, I'd have to decide whether to replay the first 5 hours again on a different difficulty (no way I'm doing that) or proceed for another 50+ hours trying to complete the game on an unsuitable difficulty and not having much fun.

Thanks for your advice!
I think the game is finally clicking for me now. Am an old school JPRG fan and understanding the conceit of Persona games always vexed me.
I've bought it now. There was one boss in one of the dungeons that I just couldn't beat on Normal in P4. It just knocked everyone's energy right down so I wasted all my turns on healing items until I eventually died. I tried twice and the same thing happened both times. I never played again after that.

Still very enjoyable on lower difficulty settings, the dungeons are only a part of the game. The characters,story and life aspects are where thisgame shines. So just pick the one you're comfortable with.

lol yes I beat the boss! It was easier that what I first thought!
