Really torn between Ragnarok Odyssey or Persona 4 Golden as my next game. I was going to pick up P4G a few days ago but gameplay videos looked a little meh and there seems to be too much emphasis on the plot. Having a good story is welcome but if I'm going to be reading thousands of lines of text, the gameplay bits better be top notch. Really the only thing making me consider P4G at all is it being the highest rated game on Vita.
P4G is one of the best games I have played in years - and I don't say that lightly - but if you are not up to reading much, it is not a game for you. Half of the game is something like a VN. Which to most people is great because you get believable, fleshed out characters in a mammoth JRPG.*
RO is a perfectly fine game, but it's a little stale if you're playing by yourself. The RO GAF thread is kinda dead but there'd probably be a couple of people who'd still be interested, myself included.
OH MY GOD MY FIRST TOP OF THE PAGE EVER
Ahem.
Buy ZHP, P4G and Playstation Plus.
* that's a massive JRPG, not a JRPG about mammoths.
