I'm not usually the type to look to reviews to validate my own opinion, but each perfect score I see makes me a bit sad because I'd really like somebody to validate my opinion.

Persona 4 Golden |OT| Love is the only gold.
- Thread starter we.are.the.armada
- Start date
There are still tons of things to improve on. I feel like certain things took a step back from P3 and with the high amounts of praise I don't think they will ever be addressed.
When Soejima's going for normal looking characters he definitely shines. P3/4 both had really memorable characters looks that never relied on having ridiculous over the top outfits.
EDIT: Oh wow. So you can't refuse Yosuke? LAME. If I want to be an anti-social asshole in Persona 4 I should be allowed to.
Rise and I can finish up the rest of the game anyhow.
P5 needs to have all these events be optional. Missing them doesn't hurt the story and they are very intrusive both in gameplay and role-playing. Your character is an empty canvas supposedly, but these events force him into a role that can be really out of character sometimes.
Sorta like this?
Ha. Pretty good.
Unfortunately it paints a picture that just isn't possible. The characters will still love you no matter what.

It's funny how odd the social link system is when you think about it.
This is why I like the reverse and broken social links. I was really hoping they would enhance/tune that aspect in P4... oh well.
I was wondering why Persona 4 was doing so well this year on the Essential RPG list. I guess it makes sense with so many people playing through the game currently.
Persona 4 is currently second behind Chrono Trigger by points.

Yeah not surprising at all. It is definitely one of those wrinkle in time sort of games like Chrono Trigger.
kswiston, you've played Persona 4 right?

Can someone post a link, without any plot spoilers, explaining how to access the extra content and events in the game?

It has been a big year with the anime, fighting game, and Vita release all either introducing people or reminding people of P4.

Is there a fusion guide for jester and aeon? Everything out there is garbage and I have a few stragglers.
The dungeons? I think we've already posted that.

I tried looking for something similar to no avail - it's a minefield out there. You could ask for some things specifically here and maybe we could help - what is it that you're looking for?
Yep. One of my favourite PS2 games. However, I don't have a Vita yet so it will be awhile before I get to try out P4: Golden.

Damn... why does Chie's new VA suck so hard? She was great in P4A.
Any examples of the differences?

Just grabbed this from a kind soul for $20.
Damn... why does Chie's new VA suck so hard? The "pride of Inaba" dialogue was almost cringe-inducing. She was great in P4A.
She's really hit or miss in this for whatever reason. I don't know if it is because she overacts the part at times or it was kind of a rush job with them getting the game out. Because there are times when she is just PERFECT (mostly the date scenes) and times when she's just screeching.
Which do you need?
Would I ever need more than ten of a gem if I was going to go for getting every piece of equipment from the nighttime shop? Aside from the Magatsu Xandrite it looks like no more than two things will ever use the same gem and they each require 5. I ask because I could use the money from selling them...
If you've thoroughly checked the listing to make sure you have enough then why not?

By the time you could trade for anything it is probably already worthless. I would sell them all, unless you just want them for the joke factor or whatever. You will need to keep (I think) 8 Magatsu Xandrites in order to complete a late-game quest for a costume.
Yay! I leveled up!
I'm overleveled.
I wish there could be another punchline about how she is still level 15 or whatever, but I balance out all my party member's levels.
I thought as much. Excellent. The 1000 per gem I get isn't much, but every little bit helps.

I know about maxing Marie's SL to acess her dungeon, but what about the extra scenes and extra ending?
Shining Sunshine

Extra scenes? There are some changes to the normal ending and true ending routes if you get Jester to rank 6. Everything else is either automatic (so you can't miss it) or very minor. For example, I've heard there's a slight change to the epilogue should you romance Marie, but that's it.

Thanks Trigger. You're the best.
Do I need to max Marie's SL to get her dungeon but I don't need to romance her or choose her on Xmas?
Thanks Trigger. You're the best.

Yes, you need her SL maxed, no you don't need to romance her.
Thanks Trigger. You're the best.

Just maxed is fine.

Just maxing her link is fine.
No no no no no. I find Chie endearing, I like that she has issues being feminine and stuff but her s.link is nothing but that. There's no relationship building between the the protag and her. Yukiko on the other hand is hilarious, quite lovely, and well there's an actual relationship there.
But if you romance Chie, it gets sweeter on Christmas/New Years/Valentine's Day though. :3
Yeah she's pretty cute on the last scene of her s.link if you choose to date her. But I can't cheat on Yukiko. I'll date everyone on my NG+.

I'll watch it on youtube cuz I am a cheating bastard =3
Easiest way to get a specific persona should be fusing the next two higher level persona of the same arcana. (e.g. Narcissus + Sati = Ame-no-Uzume; Kumbhanda + Chernobog = Baphomet, etc.)
If that doesn't work, try these:
Forneus + Oberon + Phoenix (must be highest level) = Ame-no-Uzume
Jack Frost + Mokoi + Power (must be highest level) = Take-Minakata
Legion + Ara Mitama + Undine (must be highest level) = Pale Rider
Decarabia + Leanan Sidhe + Ganesha (must be highest level) = Baphomet
Let me know if any of those don't work (I may have flubbed the math somewhere) or if you don't have the right personae at the right levels.
EDIT: I made a couple mistakes; should be fixed now.

Thanks! I'll try that out.

Do you get the ability to fuse a different ultimate persona if you
max out the Jester social link instead of switching it to Hunger?
Which is sorta lame.

Shit... Was I suppose to max Empress before completing
Magatsu Inaba for the Margaret battle?

Valentine's day
is fucking brutal if you romanced everyone!
Naw,
you should still have time in January. Last I recall, you just have to do it before the final day and make sure to get those bosses too.
