But everyone's favorite girl isn't even in Persona 4.
I actually like Ayane. ;__;
And by favorite girl, I mean Lisa Silverman.

Persona 2 Innocent Sin has returned to the PSN store. At least for the US PSN store. Not sure about Europe.

You forgot Yumi, Ayane, and Ai.
Aside from the new bath scene, what exactly pushes P4G over the edge?

Well, mostly it's the new stuff you can do with the girl you chose. It's pretty obviously just waifu pandering crap. Also that Naoto stuff. I just saw those awful new outfits and all I can ask is why?
also that gif is amazing
edit: I should probably add that I already dislike Naoto as a character and the sexualization stuff is just ugh

Way to spoil the best scene.
Wait, excusing the Naoto and other fanservice cutscene stuff, you call having events with the girls pandering? I mean, not everyone is the same, but a high school student like Yu probably has all those options available to him. I don't see where the pandering is.
EDIT: I do agree though with the whole ski lodge thing, but everything else seemed okay to me in terms of "new stuff you can do".

Holy shit, first I find Greninja is a character in SSB WiiU, and now this gif walks into my life?
What have I done to deserve such blessings?
Those still exist?!
Haha, almost feel like making a better, webm version of that .gif I made a while back. It's relatively low quality, too, though it's pretty good.
*Best scenes?

I suppose it's just the ski lodge thing (and all that other fanservice crap). I don't really like the choose your waifu thing anyway (yea I know I have a Yukari avatar) and any expansion on it just... I don't like it. That moment at S. link rank 10 where whatever girl says "I love you" honestly just creeps me out.
I don't think there's anything outright offensive with the ski-lodge trip (its mostly humor based, if anything. Especially if you hung out with the boys) and the Valentine day events are legitimately sweet (or heartbreaking, if you're a player). I know, both of these opinions are subjective. That's just where I stand on the matter.
As for the costumes, I won't deny that some of them are outright horrible, but the few horrible ones are counterbalanced by the immense amount of awesome costumes (including and not limited to: The drag costumes, the new winter outfits, the halloween, costumes, etc)
Though, I do agree with you on one thing. Romance/fanservice that involves Naoto is almost universally terrible.
Flux's gif is still amazing

You don't have to romance any of them in Persona 4 and still max their social links.

I still agree that most of those scenes in that gif are toxic and should not have been in P4G, but they are, so oh well
They're meh, but they don't really help the "Persona is just an anime waifu simulator" argument that some people think.

Is that what Elizabeth did before she joined The Velvet Room?
Honestly the only scene I did not like in the entire game was bathtime with Marie. One hotsprings trip I can handle, especially when it is used to cleverly set up a moment that will gut the player later on.
But Marie's hot-spring lightning bolt action pushed that line a wee bit, I thought.
Rest of it was gold.
The thing is that the original Persona 4 had the same hot spring scene, but without the extra fanservice anime cutscene that Persona 4 Golden added.

Yup, the first hotsprings trip was the same, sans that cutscene.

Nobody even cares that P2 IS is back on PSN. Worse than dead, ignored.
Most who wanted it in this thread probably already have it.

It was taken off?
I'm sorta ambivalent about those scenes because the characters are all kinda off model and because anime cut-scenes stopped being a big deal to me after Mega Man X4.
But I did like the others. Like the moped scene, the snowboarding and the band one. Band one gets a lot of flak, but Laura Bailey singing is where it's at.

Yeah, probably.
Yep, it was due to some exploitation. I don't remember all the details.
If it's just for story mode, you really just need to do Lesson Mode and you're set. Mashing A for the auto-combo is probably all you need to beat the CPU in story mode anyways. Also, actual fighting is only, like, 10% of the story mode while the rest is reading. If it's problematic, you could just lower the difficulty.
This is how I played most of Arena. Fighting games are a true struggle for me.
That's the face of Tomoko from Watamote. Her nendo has some amazing faces.
I love that those parts are interchangeable.
If you guys are completely lost, try to watch the Persona 4 Arena tutorial videos made by Atlus:

They are even narrated by Teddie and Mitsuru!
Anyone can button mash their way through the story on a setting lower than normal. The AI literally sits there sometimes.
They're not good scenes, but you're also not using this term correctly. Just a tip.
