Welcome to the Persona 4 Golden NeoGAF Official Thread! If you are avoiding spoilers and would just like the most basic information, it'll be spelled out here:

• P4G is a turn-based JRPG featuring high school students that are trying to stop a serial killer in their country town; demons and dating sim-esque gameplay is involved.
• P4G for Playstation Vita, releases November 20, 2012, and costs $39.99 USD.
• The Solid Gold Edition costs $69.99 USD and releases the same day was sold out in limited quantity and is probably being flipped on the internet.
• It is scheduled to release in Europe on February 22, 2013.

Don’t forget: we’re offering a free PS Vita skin and accompanying wallpapers with pre-orders of Persona 4 Golden. Quantities are limited, so be sure you pre-order soon (and make sure the retailer you pre-order from is participating in this offer) or risk missing out. Of course, if you manage to get your hands on the sold out Solid Gold Premium Edition, you’ll get that PS Vita skin, along with a hard pouch, face protector, and stickers! We know they’re hard to come by, but keep an eye out on PS.Blog and the @PlayStation Twitter page, as we’re cooking something up to take care of a lucky fan. Otherwise, all versions physical and digital will be available for sale on November 20th, which is… coming up quickly! In any case, I do hope that you’re looking forward to this title, and that if you weren’t before, you are now. Thanks for reading!

So excited.

Been waiting for this forever. Now I will finally play P4.

 

[bigkrev]

Dear Sony-

If you pull a Mass Effect 3 and put this on the store at midnight instead of GCT, I will buy it as well as a physical copy.

Please.

 

[MisterC20XX]

[buddha0991]

.....That steak looks delicious....

 

[Persona7]

STEAK!

 

[KingofSarus]

The main reason why I'm even getting a Vita...

 

[Shane86]

Feb 22nd in EU I love Atlus but why do they hate us?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Boy are all those captioned portraits a knife in my side.

Great OT though.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Ima buy this game right here.

This game right here ima buy.

 

[Astra]

Awesome OT!
My steak is so ready for the 20th.

 

[Onion_Relish]

No reference to reaching out, no reference to the truth, for shame.

Gonna get this digital for my vita when I pony up for it.

 

[Squire]

Never really got hooked by P3P like I wanted to; pre-ordered this anyway. Lets go!

 

[Omikaru]

I bought a Vita just for this game. It has been a painful wait.

Only 7-10 days left for me (EU import), and I need to find something to distract me before I begin.

 

[Corran Horn]

I never played 4...only part of 3. Bought 3 psp for my vita during that sale but probably wont play since I want to wait for 4. Ugh I want to play now lol.

 

[Ken]

Aha is this the Vita's chance.

 

[RedBoot]

Oh sweet, there's the Vita wallpapers I made!

Can't wait to play this game all over again. And then do it again on a harder difficulty. And get the platinum.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Aha is this the Vita's chance.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Sweet OT!

Looking forward to playing the game to see what all the commotion is about.

 

[LProtag]

A huge reason why I'm probably buying a Vita soon.

Must consume as much Persona media as possible.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

My Solid Gold Edition will be coming from Gamestop!

Keeping it sealed though. Will double-dip and grab the digital version over PSN.

Can't wait, my first time playing through the game.

 

[chickdigger802]

oh shit. next week.

thought it was gonna be at end of month.

btw: whats different about suffle time?

everyone says it's new/revamped.

 

[Kincaido]

One of the reasons I bought a Vita for. Can't wait.

 

[NinajHeartless]

Nice OT armada!

I can't wait to read the impressions of all the P4 newbs :3

Have fun kids!

 

[krpiper]

Damn it I shouldnt be spending money and I have P3P to beat :/

and PSASBR

 

[lunch]

Nice OT.

I was really lukewarm on the original game and never finished it, but I have Golden preordered. I'm still deciding whether or not to keep it.

 

[buddha0991]

Boy are all those captioned portraits a knife in my side.

Great OT though.

I know that feel buddy, I know that feel

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Taken

The OP is great.

 

[jello44]

In honor of this thread, I present you with this.

Getting the super-duper Solid Gold edition, my body is so ready.

snip

Did you ever get around to making more of these?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Have my Newegg copy pre-ordered for $10 off since I'm in no rush to get it. Maybe I'll get lucky and I'll get it on the day of release?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Yoink.

 

[dakkumauji]

Dear Amazon, please deliver the Solid Gold LE on release day.

Please and thank you.

 

[jediyoshi]

all that waifu

 

[woober]

YOU'RE NOT ME!!!!!!!

 

[LuuKyK]

If only people stopped overhyping the potato head, as its pretty clear who is the better girl of the cast. Oh well...

Spoiler

Don't kill me guys

 

[buddha0991]

Yes, I believe this will do nicely...anyone know if anyone else took the Spookies logo yet?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I could really go for some Pistachio pudding right now..

 

[Typographenia]

This game will probably make me buy a Vita. I loved playing P4 so much that I would love to have a portable version to play when I please. Not to mention that extra content.

Sheesh!

 

[perorist]

What's the lore behind the steak?

 

[Astra]

Yoink.

You'll be unrecognizable without your puppy!

What's the lore behind the steak?

It gives Chie her super strength. It also bounds her up, which is why she is such an angry girl.

 

[TheSeks]

Charlie Tunoku!

Seta Souji. >:|

I'm passing on AC3:Liberation right now to get this. WHY.jpg I don't like it as much as I liked P3/FES and it doesn't hold a candle to P2.

*trophies/achievements*

Oh.

Spoiler

It's not like the game is terrible. I just don't really like the yellow/happy-go-lucky tone. Doesn't feel SMT to me.

Does buying day one on PSN give you the themes? Atlus dudes that post here, answer this please? I don't want to be burned by this assumption like I was with Street vs Juggleken. >:|

 

[yami4ct]

I'll take Izanagi. Why not? We all know he's a pretty cool design. Also, my Sinanju avatar was getting pretty old.

Man, if I could erase my memories of playing it and experience P4 fresh all over again, that'd be the best thing ever. So good.
