Persona 4 Golden |OT| Love is the only gold.
- Thread starter we.are.the.armada
- Start date
I recall the party asking if
Counting a few variants, Three bad endings, two neutral endings, the Good ending, and the true ending.
thanks! does anyone know the date for the true ending? so many damn endings! which should i aim for with my first playthrough?
What Sophia said, lol.
March 3rd, I believe. It's the final day.
You can get both the true and normal ending in one playthrough.
I remember that mofo from P3. RUN FOOL! hehehe

Gotcha. Hopefully I'll recognize the branching point when it happens.

The Reaper...the bastard's still haunting my nightmares from P3...
I had a huge grin when I heard the new music

for Mitsuo's Shadow boss fight. I still think they should have also done "Reach Out to The Truth" 8-bit style for this dungeon, like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep_rtQIj0nE
Also they finally translated the menus for the boss fight, lol

I fucked that bitch up real good at around lv75, though it was a tough fight and all my party bar the MC had died by the end. You need to be that kind of level with the right persona equipped just to stop it 1-shotting you and your entire party in the first turn.
All the same, nowhere near as hard as it was in P3, especially if you don't have Thor's Thunder Reign to make easy work of him.

I'll admit that the game is a little too long for its own good, but your hour count for where you are is really high. It's not that hard to beat the game with the best ending in around 60 hours.
The ones to avoid the worst possible bad ending are pretty blatant. They get trickier and trickier as you play on.
His hour content isn't that high, at least by the standards of the original game. I was 43-45 hours at that point on my very first game. He's going a little slow for Golden however.

Not sure how indicative it is of the average, but I had a little over 60 hours when I beat the original game on Normal for the first time and a little under 60 hours beating Golden on Hard (True Ending + Bonus dungeon).
That's pretty fast for the original. Most playtimes I've seen are at the 75 hour mark. I can't speak for Golden tho, given I've could probably blitz through it in about 15-20 hours or less if I played on Very Easy and skipped all the cutscenes. >_>;

My vanilla P4 hour count on normal was about 80.
I shamefully played this one on easy and it was only 43 hours (over six sleep-deprived days, no less).
The new "voice" feature makes things INCREDIBLY efficient since you no longer have to run around town to see what social links are available before deciding.

91h as I mentioned earlier but I kept my party fairly even until the end (all in the 80s) and I was fusing late-game personas for the last 20 hours or so
70 is about average with True Ending

Next playthrough, Naoto will be my one and only waifu
I gave you your opportunity the first time Kanji

I think I might go for Naoto on my next play. I romanced Rise this time and I regret nothing.

I played every single dungeon with a different costume set and it was glorious.
Team attacks in the
ones were a whole new echelon of awesome.

I wish the portrait reflected the costumes currently equipped, but I imagine that would be more work for the team.

Kanji is the easily the best bro
Too bad his persona becomes a giant enemy crab and Yosuke's persona gets

From my experience so far (just beat Kanji's dungeon), I think sticking with Izanagi may actually make the game easier.

well gametrailers gave it a 9.4 lol, took them long enough to make the review
It does. Izanagi's stats grow faster from all the bonuses. The party doesn't see their stats increase unless they level up. MC can strengthen his personae via the shuffle time without that same barrier.

A clear step behind Mass Effect 3

Yeah, my Izanagi's stats are noticeably higher than everyone else's due to shuffle time and I've gotten some good abilities from skill cards. Just beat Kanji's dungeon & the boss fight was a breeze. Main had Masukunda, Mabufu, and Twin Shot (which was dealing about twice as much damage as Chie or Yosuke's physical abilities since my Strength was higher).
If you're going to do a Super Hard run (where XP gains are reduced), an Izanagi-only run looks like the best way to do it since your power is tied more to shuffle time than XP. Or pick another early Persona with better resistances than Izanagi and then stick with that one for the rest of the game.

Since I don't need to up any of my social stats in playthrough 2, would I need a guide to max S.Links? Most of them seem to be written for the first run through anyway
I'm using one now and I've been terrible at following it. I think a guide could at least help with knowing which responses get you the most points during the social link scenes. How necessary it is just comes down to how well you know the schedules.
I kind of wish I didn't already know
. Golden does a better job of hiding it, I feel. Well... kind of.
I feel there's a few anime elements they should maybe have added into the game though... Yukiko's bird metaphor, Rise's development episode, Kanji's keychain maybe.

We've been following the same one right? I'm pretty much on par with it. I just started November and I have a good deal of them done.
Other than the whole book fiasco, it's been fine.
That's the best way to go really, although, focus on your stats like "Knowledge" and "Understanding" etc, that way, it's easier to open up and finish the social links in NG+.
Guides are no fun for a first playthrough.
Yeah, I'm behind on Strength because I was trying to get those damn books for the trophy. I'll be cutting things close.
