Also you couldn't go out at night, or grow vegetables, or fish, the game ended at December, no SL for Adachi, no motorcycles, no beach scene, no music festival... yeah you get the idea, Golden added A LOT.

Also Chie has a different VA in the two games and it’s weird

Kanji actually gets Power Charge in Golden, so you know which I'm picking.

Golden. It's just P4 but wayyyyy better.

While I appreciate all the extra stuff that Golden adds, there's something about specifically how boring Inaba actually is in P4 that really sells itself as an accurate descriptor. Yukiko, Adachi, Yosuke and Nanako are all characters who specifically have parts of them tied to the fact that the only interesting thing to do around Inaba is go to Junes. But that sort of falls apart in Golden when Okina City is added as a location that you can visit on any day you want or the fact the protagonists don't have to go too far to go on a fun skiing trip.

People seem to have forgotten how Yukiko's castle had beetles with repell physical + taunt in the OG version.

Yeah the bosses were very tough on ps2. I remember shadow yukiko taking me a lot of tries to beat

One of the most overlooked differences was that in the original P4 there was a save point at the top floor of every dungeon, while in Golden you're forced to use a Goho-M if u want to do this

You forgot the most important difference, the amount of Adachi.

As someone who has been deeply in love with p4 since she was 10, playing up to yukikos dungeon makes it clear p4 golden is so superior on many quality of life moments.

Your affection, your affection

"Just persona 4 with Marie"

The one where I don't have to spend a whole afternoon re-rolling the skills that will be passed down through Fusions.

Damn, I just started playing Golden not too long ago, and shuffle time feels like an upgrade compared to Persona 3 shuffle time, I find it weird it wasn’t like this in the vanilla version of Persona 4

vanilla P4 was a fun ass game on PS2. Playing it before Golden made me appreciate the positive changes Golden made but also highlighted how they made the game way too easy in the new version.

YOUR AFFECTIONNNN YOUR AFFECTIONNNNN 🕺🏿🕺🏿

the tv effect on the models and ui is sooooo sick. i wish they kept it

I miss those TV filters since 2010 lol

one thing for sure is the p4 original intro is the best

If I recall correctly in OG when your teammates persona evolve, they lose their elemental weakness. In golden they learn evade instead
