I think Rise's voice change is the only new voice change in this game. There have been a lot of voice changes for the main cast since the original release of P4 though. I think Chie, Rise, Kanji, & Teddie all have new voice actors. I believe even Margaret's & Naoto's voices have changed as well, though I am not 100% sure on these two.

It's pretty bad. Not enough to ruin the game but still not good. Nothing you can do about a scheduling conflict though.
I mean... problem solved? Spin-offs aren't going to have the level of (narrative) depth you want from a mainline game. Meanwhile, Persona 5 makes it fully apparent that they are willing to diverge significantly from what people expect after getting used to Persona 4.
Already bought the game and have been looking forward to it all year so that won't be necessary. Thanks for the info though.

Disco Fever Edition was waiting for me when I got home today. Having the full soundtrack, and not a sampler, puts this above most other CE's for me. And has anyone with a Vita 1000 cobbled up the skin yet? I'm wondering how that would look even though I'm not doing it.
As for the game, it's probably my first rhythm game in a couple years. Guess what my first trophy was:
I figured out how to play after failing out a few times, albeit on easy.

Fashion Police, for changing a costume. But the next one was Empty Seats 
.
.That's why I am expecting this is last P4 title that involves a story.
I really want them to make a pure rhythm game or fighting game again, just no need to shove a story.
I have high hopes for the story and gameplay of P5. If anything, I want it to be great and very different from what we saw in P3 and P4.
Persona 4 Golden: "Mature RPG with turn-based violence, sex, and profanity."Noticed this game rating thing on Best Buy's website on pages for video games.
Kind of made me want to see what they say about the other games.
...........only the comments section talk about the whole "accepting people for who they are & understanding that we're all flawed, but that's okay & it's what makes us who we are" thing the game is rather known for.
Its larger than the vita and has a pocket for storage. Whatever is in storage like a game case it could scratch because nothing is secured. It also has a huge zipper on the top that going in and out could scratch the case/screen easily. Then it does not protect the unit itself because its softsided, unlike the last persona case. I guess I thought it would be simiIar to the last case. My bad. What I also meant by useless was like the person I was orginally responding to was giving his away, I would never use this thing because it is ugly in my opinion (others will vary, thats cool). Looks like a woman's clutch purse (I think they call them) from the 70s. Great if that is what you want or if you normally like carrying purses.
The purpose is to summarize the rating and the reasoning behind it, not expound on the game's themes. Same goes for the ESRB description for P4D (story spoilers).

Turn based sex? I must have missed that
It's always about Mara.

The biggest problem with Rise's voice is that it's Ashly Burch....all I can hear is her. She doesn't have a whole lot of range, and all I can hear is her skits from HAWP.
Something something Rise's dungeon &/or Mara reference.
So is the LE still available for purchase online? GS' site doesn't have it available anymore, & I don't know how much longer Amazon will have it.
That's ignoring the fact that Persona itself is a spin-off of the main Megami Tensei series and that the narrative in the main Persona titles (Revelations notwithstanding) is full of rich characters and memorable moments of, more often than not, deep stories that explores Jungian psychology (to varying degrees depending on the game). That aside, there are plenty of spin-offs and side-stories to franchises that many would argue are as good, if not, better than the main ones like Final Fantasy Tactics.
It also doesn't excuse the, frankly, sloppily written story that ended up in an otherwise good rhythm game that amounted to nothing more than one long, drawn-out damsel in distress sequence filled with weak connections between dancing and the concept of one's persona but I digress.
We are literally almost 20 years past that; "Persona is a spin-off of SMT" has lost all relevance as a point, especially since it has overtaken mainline SMT both in popularity and in scope. For those other spin-offs... are they rhythm games? Fighting games? These two genres are not ones traditionally narratively driven. An RPG spin-off will naturally have a story with more thought behind it, as that genre allows for it. You wouldn't expect a meaningful narrative from the Theatrhythm series.
And, even then, the same also goes for Persona Q since the mainline Etrian Odyssey games aren't known for their elaborate stories.
It's a rhythm game. Are you seriously expecting a profound and elaborate story from a rhythm game spin-off of Persona 4? Just like Wada has repeated, they start off with the genre shift for Persona 4 with these, which means the story comes second. There's only so much they can do with the concept of, "The Persona 4 characters need to dance to push the story along."

Best Buy still has it online.
Cool, will keep that in mind if I don't see the LE appear this week & if Amazon runs out. Kind of bummed it didn't arrive today, but oh well, more time to finish up some other Vita games.
Can't wait for next week to get Break Out Of... & Beauty of Destiny.
Pimpin' ain't easy.

I thought I could get used to the new Rise.
I can't. Goddamn it Laura.

This game makes it clear that Yu doesn't care about any of them and the true pairings are Yosuke/Chie and Kanji/Naoto.
I thought that was obvious from the original game

Sure it is.
Lol I loved that scene so much.

New Rise can't bother me as long as New Naoto and New Margaret are in the game. They're still distracting.
Oh, and Matt Mercer is an upgrade. Troy Baker started to sound too much like himself in Golden.

Is there any word of the Vita theme coming to NA? Or was that a CE bonus?
Thanks, could have sworn it was not there the first time I booted up the game.

So far, I'm enjoying the game a decent bit. Rise's new VA isn't too bad, but I quickly adapted. A few things I've noticed when playing on the Vita is that the timing to press the button and the music is just minutely out of sync, so I'm depending on just the music for the timing, rather than both the screen and music; It feels I have to press the buttons just slightly before the line for it to match with the music. It is a very minute difference in the timing, but I wish I could slightly calibrate that. Other than that, good thing you can use the screen to do the scratches rather than just the analog sticks. At first, I thought the analogs were the only way to the scratches and it did fell a bit awkward using the analog sticks.

I did it before I got mine so it was all ready when mine arrived.
Went to my GameStop and they couldn't find the posters. :/ guess I'll try back tomorrow.
You mean the Theme that came with the LE Vita? It will probably stay exclusive to the LE.
This game has made a terrible first impression on me. The lack of distinct shapes/colors on the notes is making the game really hard for me to follow, and whoever decided those scratch notes were a good idea deserves death. I'm going to keep at it, but I'm already worried I wasted my money.
Also, this pouch is comically oversized, and useless for travel. I was able to fit a 7 inch tablet in the pouch with plenty of room to spare!

You can dim the background in the options menu.
And those scratch notes are a great idea.
Wow, I'm having a totally different experience with the game. Did you try enabling l/r for scratch notes? I found that a lot easier.
No, I did not realize you could do that. Does it cause a penalty like it does in Miku?
Plenty; the review embargo for the title was last week and a lot of reviews have cropped up since then, most of them being fairly positive.

No, as it was another control scheme that was patched in due to feedback received from fans playing the JP version.
You have to enable it in the options menu.

Does anyone know how this plays on the Vita TV
Huh, that wasn't what I expected Tanaka to sound like in english at all.
Pretty sure it's explained at the very end of story mode.
No, it's explained at the very beginning.
