I bought the Vita bundle on Amazon, and went out to get P4G today. I opened the case and was kinda depressed.

Do Vita games not come with a manual or anything like that?

Unfortunately not. The manual is on the Vita game card itself, accessed through the Live Area, or whatever it's called before you boot the game.

Man, I am super jelly of all you guys playing P4G right now. It'd best come tomorrow, or I'll set my dog on the postman.

Spoiler

Not really. I don't have a dog.

I've got a ton of screenshots but SPOILERS so I'm going to avoid posting them.

So here's some wallpapers/screens of FMVs. Not too sure how quality they are but here you go:

Holy shit spoilers for repeat players even?

FUCKING REAPER IN A CHEST OH GOD 3 HOURS LOST

 

[Trigger]

Weird, I liked Erica a lot. In fact none of the VO from Catherine is bad. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm used to the other Chie.

Doesn't it also appear in dungeon floors if you stay too long? I swear I've heard the chains rattling.

He shows up in a random chest after you open 20 chests. The chains rattling means he's in one. There are like two prompts before you open him, though, saying LOOKOUT

If Vita games don't come with a manual then what the hell's the point of that clip on the left side of the case?

JP version got a controls leaflet and a P4U ad.

Superior version. :O

Some do. Rayman, for example.

Still waiting for my copy from Newegg. Pre-ordered forever ago, getting it on the 28th.

Lol it freaked the fuck out of me the first time I heard it. I think someone here told me how it worked, Dark Schala maybe.

glad you can just restart floors if you wipe now.

Lower his attack power, raise your defense. Buffs yo! He also resists physical

 

[rainking187]

Caved and bought this to go with my new Vita. Ordered it from Newegg since their listing says it still includes the Vita skin, hope that's right.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Someday i'll purchase a Vita specifically for this game, if only it were possible to have Jeff and Vinny narrate and play the whole thing for me.
The GB endurance runs have left a hole in my heart that remains to be filled.

Welcome to the Vita Family!

 

[Tiu Neo]

My copy should be here by monday. I'm not really sure how this happened, since games normally take from two weeks to one month to arrive here. I'm still waiting my AC3: Liberation, for example.

It's... Some kind of miracle. Something is telling me to play this game asap. And to think I almost bought the digital version while I waited for my physical copy. PSASBR saved my wallet.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Still amazed they managed to get all that swag in the Golden Edition into a box that's barely bigger than the Vita itself..

 

[Nexas]

I don't know if I have just gotten used to it, or if it's getting better, but Erin's Chie sounds fine to me now. I just did

Spoiler

her rank 9 event, which is fully voiced now,

and thought it was actually pretty good.

 

[tch]

How many gigs is the game? Is it worth getting physical or digital?

 

[Duffyside]

Huh, I don't remember seeing any

Spoiler

Reaper

during the Giant Bomb ER. Is it a new thing for the remake?

 

[jello44]

How many gigs is the game? Is it worth getting physical or digital?

3.1 GB and it depends on how large your memory card is. If you just have the 4 GB one, you're better off getting the physical card, even 8 is pushing it.

I have a 16 GB card and still went for physical because I like my physical media, plus I bought the Solid Gold edition. ;p

 

[Trigger]

Huh, I don't remember seeing any

Spoiler

Reaper

during the Giant Bomb ER. Is it a new thing for the remake?

Yes.

To clarify:

Spoiler

He used to be a new game plus feature in the original. Now you can encounter him during an initial playthrough.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Got my copy today finally!

<333

 

[Dresden]

Got this thing coming in with my new vita, can't wait.

 

[Cloudy]

Are the blue butterfy save points new? I don't remember getting to save so early when I played it on ps2 for an hour or so

 

[SpaceBridge]

Is there a way to lock the Vita when listening to music tracks in the TV listings section?

 

[Mattakuevan]

Are the blue butterfy save points new? I don't remember getting to save so early when I played it on ps2 for an hour or so

Nope, they were in the original.

Edit: Though I think the waltz around the shopping center near the beginning is new which is where you could have saved early on. I don't remember it from the ps2 version (or I just forgot because its inconsequential).

 

[Duffyside]

Yes.

To clarify:

Ah, ok. Thanks!

... What does he do?

 

[buddha0991]

Nope, there are actually less of them in Golden than in Persona 4

 

[Trigger]

In the original, the first 20 or so minutes is nothing but cutscenes. They gave us sometime to walk around in Golden. I wish they didn't remove save points from next to boss doors. It's inconvenient to backtrack back to the entrance.

Ah, ok. Thanks!

Spoiler

Same thing as P3. You fight him for a tough challenge and I think (?) a strong weapon drops. lol, I never cared to fight him.

 

[Sophia]

It's new. Also looking through some playthroughs of the English version, the dubbing performance for Chie isn't quite like the one she did for Persona 4 Arena.

EDIT: I knew I wasn't deluding myself, Erin Fitzgerald's voice is noticeably more squeakier in Persona 4 Golden than it was for Arena.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

I did a three day marathon, beating P3P just in time to start up P4 the day it came out.

I'm in fucking looooove. Never played the PS2 version, started on Hard and adoring this. So happy with the presentation.

I think this is why Goho-M's are so much more common.

 

[kewlmyc]

So, Yukiko and Chie just did some move called "Twin Dragon" that didn't do much damage, but was flashy as hell and damaged everything on screen. What was that about?

New fusion attacks!

Also, stolen from twitter.

 

[Trigger]

Goho-Ms are great. I also didn't realize that it was a pun on "go home" until I saw the old P4 GAF thread.

So, Yukiko and Chie just did some move called "Twin Dragon" that didn't do much damage, but was flashy as hell and damaged everything on screen. What was that about?

lol, you more or less saw what that was about. Characters can do dual attacks if an all-out attack leaves enemies remaining. It's random, but good for mopping up crowds. I've only seen Chie/Yukiko, but if I had to guess the other pairs are (late game spoilers)

Spoiler

Teddie/Yosuke and Kanji/Naoto

.

 

[pelicansurf]

I remember there being save points with auto-go back to start in the OG. I played on normal then and not hard though. That might be it.

 

[BearPawB]

So I think I broke my "voice" button. I was somehow able to move it around. Now it in the top middle of my screen and I can't click it.

It's borked in my save as wel. Any ideas?

 

[yami4ct]

So, I've been super careful about my S.Link schedule, but I will say it doesn't seem like it's going to be too difficult to Max them all on one playthrough. I'm only a couple months in, and am like 6 or 7 on a huge number of them. Seems way faster pace than my original playthrough, but now that I know how to min/max Social Stats, it's way easier as well.

 

[Dark Schala]

I could've sworn that Daring Gigases were weak vs Garu.

Seems like they're not in this version? So, I guess regular enemies got rebalanced too. Edit: seems like they're weak vs Hama now.

 

[Nexas]

Man they are going pretty extreme on the tests now. Now they are me asking to remember kanji characters.

 

[Trigger]

Why can't I romance Kanji? He's so adorable.

 

[buddha0991]

because he was purposefully left ambiguous

You never noticed them in the trailers?
