Persona 4 Golden |OT| Love is the only gold.

I agree. There's an element of the supernatural and the strangeness of the TV world to everything you listed. The music bit is just... well... bullshit. So far it's the only new content from Golden which I've not liked. Some of the other new stuff, like the ski resort and beach event was basically just fanservice, but I think it was pretty harmless and not at all grating. It was actually quite funny, and done in the spirit of the original. But that whole music thing? Blegh. I wish I could learn an instrument that fast.
That's the joke though - they can't bake
Also, I gotta say, decent baking's a lot fucking easier than decent music-playing.
Not that I want to harp on and on about the music, it's a blip on the radar at most. Although... the added hot springs fanservice... ==;;
It also took them three tries WHILE using a cookbook.

I love my Trumpeter
ALl done without Skill Cards cuz I dont cheat
It's not really cheating if the developer expects you to use the feature. The whole point of the skill card system is to make persona customization easier.
I was just saying that as an expression. All i been doing is giving skill cards to Marie anyways and havent bought or used a single one. For me, being able to select what skills to inherit for fusion is already too op. Mind charge and Power charge going down the family tree and all that lol
Edit : I dont think i used skill cards either back in P3

You know, the one thing about the band event that's weird - you really should invite Ayane to be a part of it.
I always thought it was weird how the Nanako and Dojima events could go off track if you decided to do one without the other, but this just seems like a weird oversight. Especially since, given her S-link, you know she wants to perform.
But hey, I guess they couldn't account for every little choice?

Oh, I see.
You don't need any cards for her social link. Rank 2 is the ippon-datara, right? You can just fuse Angel and Sarasvati.
No, they just couldn't do that because there's no guarantee you'll join the music club and the investigation doesn't know her, anyway. It'd be crazy weird.
She always did well when I played.
I thought it was funny how hyped she was for it though.
Oh, ok. My gut says that a Justice persona would have that as a skill card, but I can't remember who I got it from.
Anzu (heirophant) learns it at 19.
Margret's SL is so much easier now that you can give the card or choose the skill it inherits.
I used this http://www.gamefaqs.com/vita/641695-persona-4-golden/faqs/64630 to finish it. I'm basically shitting money at this point and can delete and buy personae at will. Also helps that I also have a 20% discount.
I got the velvet room costumes too. They're pretty awesome. Chie does her little flip then poses like Elizabeth, quotes her too.
I always do it in one day.
I did most of them in one shot up until Trumpeter. Only because I wasn't at the right level.

I just gained access to the home shopping channel: adios shoes or medical kit?
I just found out there are, question is do I want to do a 4th playthroughGekkou Uniform costumes
Yes, you do. Just for the awesomeness.
Chie and Yukiko are cute in the Gekkou uniforms. <3
Med-Kits because the shoes will be outclassed sooner than later.

No, I mean, there's no reason why they couldn't have added a few scenes if you were in the music club and you were in a high enough relationship with her.
They already have events where the "minor" S-link characters can bump into the "real" characters in various optional events, so it's just weird that you are a) already part of a band and b) friends with people who can play instruments and that you never even think of that as an option.

Yes. YESSS.
Naoto looks wrong with it. I dunno, got used to her being a... Trap? Reverse trap?
I hate that you get them so late in the game.

Right when I read this, i got the splashes. Thanks!
Greatest feature ever. Keeping cosmetics and stuff like that.
Okay, I finished the PS2 version around noon today with the true ending, along with maxing most social links and completing all quests. 75 hours all told. Looking back, I think Persona 4 might be one of my favorite games ever.
The only things that I didn't like were the dungeon designs, and partially how long they were. Although I think the game expects you to spread out your dungeon crawling, I always thought it was beneficial to clear a dungeon in one day. Getting to the 11th floor of
with the monotonous music pounding in one sitting was a bit much, though I won't hold it against the game knowing that it was my choice to do a dungeon in one afternoon.
I might be in the minority here, but the difficulty was pretty well-balanced throughout the game, up until the final boss.
Another thing to note is that the localization is, I think, one of the best in the business. The flow of the dialogue and the interaction between characters is consistently great, and the script doesn't fall prey to translation oddities or errors or Phoenix Wright's "this game totally takes place in America. no, really, I swear."
And the voice acting is god tier. Chie and Naoto are my favorites, but Kanji is great as well - and he didn't nearly get enough lines. I really like how mature they sounded despite them being high schoolers, and after listening to the anime's Japanese VA, I appreciate the English cast even more. And nu-Chie's voice actress in Golden makes me cringe.
I also think that having a silent protagonist was really the right choice to go for this game. I loved how often your character's name comes up in dialogue, and the game's deadpan "you blah blah blah" comments. I'm not entirely sure why, but I don't think I would've liked it nearly as much if the MC was a character like Shepard in Mass Effect.
At the end, when
, I just lost it and broke down crying. I should've followed this guy's advice. I'm not entirely sure what it was about the cast, but I don't think I've ever held this much affection for fictional characters before. I'm frankly surprised I had this much of a reaction.
So...yeah. Persona 4's a pretty good game, but I don't need to tell you guys, right? Anyway, thanks for reading if you did.

Depends. Some of them end suddenly, some don't. You'd have to give more details about what happened.

Maybe it's been a while, but I don't mind the new Chie voice anymore. She's maybe better than the original. But, you never forget the first I suppose.

Hey guys, this guide I'm following is a bit confusing. Do I need to be in a
love relationship with Marie to get the secret dungeon? It says I need it but I don't think so. I can just be friends, right?
You don't have to be in a relationship with her.
On a side note, what exactly does it mean when you fuse demons and the thing is highlighted in purple?
Shining Sunshine

You tried it? Just making sure.
I think the purple thing means that it is a unique fusion that can only be done with what you're fusing with. Nothing special.

Yeah, the Guardians are infinite iirc.
To catch the Sea Guardian, you need to start the final Hermit quest and then talk to the old man by the river.

Another random question - has anyone been through the broken S-link with Ai/Moon? I forgot to try it out this time around and I'm curious to see what the game makes you do to repair that relationship, if it's even possible.
Yeah, I did it in the first run through, I think being in a relationship with her just adds a few lines to the epilogue.
That would make sense, seeing as there is only one way to fuse Norn.
They stop making her shout so much after the first few hours.
