From what I remember, The JP voices are included in the US version.
Whoa.

They only said jp voices would be in arena.
No, that's only Arena. There is only English in Golden.

There's also that school trip they take
to the high school from persona 3
It's pretty great to see that if you've played both games, although I don't think you'll miss out on much if you haven't.
But they licensed them for Arena?

This probably has been asked before but now that the Japanese version is out, do you guys think it's worth waiting to play this Vita version or just play the PS2 version (I bought 4 years ago but haven't yet played)?
If you have a Vita and haven't played it yet, you might as well just wait.

Well, I personally think you should wait for the Vita version. It's a bit late to play through P4 for the first time if you intend to just start playing P4G as soon as it releases. Instead, play through Persona 3 Portable if you haven't already played P3 - it's on sale right now, and perfectly playable on Vita.

Im glad to see that Atlus didnt go adding in any unnecessary features such as forced touch controls etc. Plus how they actually kept the game as close to the original as possible, with adding other useful features. Such as the ability to buy skills found from the arcana cards. Also to help those new to the series its much easier to not screw yourself over with the random arcana draw since you see everything that appears plus the bonus draws if you can actually obtain every card from the hand.
Really is a great port on the VITA and a must have title for fans of RPG games.

The Arc Systemworks difference.
Well, put it like this: Not much content is added, and a very large amount of what is added is fan service.
If you have a Vita, I'd say wait for P4G. If you don't have a Vita, play the PS2 version. It's more focused, less herpy derp and miles cheaper. And the majority of the game is the same.

Thanks. I do own a Vita, Persona 4 on PS2, and I've played Persona 3. I was mostly curious if it's A) FES to Persona 3, or B) somehow worse than the PS2 version. All I've heard of the Vita version is that it looks better and fixes the load times (I wasn't aware of load time issues in Persona 4).
I'll probably wait for the Vita version, or impressions once the localized version is out.

Id say wait for the Vita version. Regardless of what negative things others might say, Id have to say personally the game has some good improvements making it much easier to just play and enjoy along with less grinding to some extent too. With how you can purchase skills and how much easier the random arcana bonus system is. Plus the fact that they didnt "dumb down" anything in the sense of like how P3P took away the walking around the area maps a huge plus and they actually listened to what pissed off the fans with the previous port of the Persona series.
Making money in the game is still a pain in the ass though so that hasnt changed lol
I assume the costumes will be unlocked and bought like in FES and P3P
You mean voic actors? They have already confirmed they're redoing Teddie and Chie
Nope, we're getting the new VAs.
Ugh
Proper? edit: oh voice acting?

There is an SOS feature wich you can use to call in help from other people.
So I started playing P3 Fes and P3P on and off to see the differences and see if going P3P first was worth it (Yeah I'm a dork lol)
I'd say no. Surprisingly, there were so many little things cut out of the opening scene and early dialogues. It probably doesn't change the game too much but take that and add in the pointer-based exploration outside of dungeons and you have a half-assed port IMO.
Surely they didn't need to bastardize P4 on Vita, right?

The majority of people who have played P4 Golden agree that it is easily the definitive version.
Ugh that is awful. I think of a DBZ character when I hear a voice like that. The original Teddie VA was perfect.
No no no no no no no please no. She sounds nothing like Chie.
I hope there isn't any voice changes in P4G, the P4A VOs are disappointing.
Interesting, I thought P3P was better than P3 FES.
But when I get my Vita, this is one of the first games I'll be getting. I dare say it looks better than the PS2 version running on PCSX2 (that's how I'm currently playing it.).
It's confirmed at this point that they're changing voices for Golden, right? I'm okay with it. I can always watch youtube to remember Chie's huskier voice.
It's not. They just ran into the limitations of PSP/UMD and had to work around it. It's the best it could be on the platform it's on. Half-assed would imply they just put some shit out without putting any effort into it. That's not what P3P is. At all. Imho, P3P is much more playable than P3 was, though it takes a hit into the presentation as a result of being on the platform it's on. But that's not that much worse considering Persona has never been a Final Fantasy level audiovisual, big-budget RPG series.
They've added things and improved gameplay in some ways as well, so yeah, this port is not lazy in any meaning of the word.
Why would they change VAs? Why not just use the old sound?

Yeah, it's something to get used to again. Hashino was right when he remarked that he was worried over those two characters needing to be changed, but trusted in the US branch to pull it off, and Wittenberg and Rooney NAILED their characters. Sad that they're the two that couldn't make the new stuff for whatever reasons.
Not sure I'm convinced that they couldn't have done a bit more on PSP. Also, with a game like this, presentation is HUGE. Stripping a lot of it away just seems wrong IMO lol
I was referring to Chie and Teddy. Was that just P4A?
Because there's new content in the game, and it would be kind of silly to have like 85% of the lines read in one voice, and 15% in another.
Did a VA quit or what?

Ubisoft games are always like 70% off after the holiday season.
Everyone should know what to do.
It's not smart to have 10 different Vita games come out within 2 weeks of each other.

I believe someone said that her original VA doesn't do voice acting anymore, I think.
That's what I've heard, and supposedly the VA for Teddie never got back to them.
Yes, let's not support what seems like one of the few big budget efforts on Vita from a western publisher. That's the way to show that Vita is a viable platform!
Seriously. Apart from Uncharted and Gravity Rush, this is probably the biggest non-port out there. If it's good, it deserves an early buy
