  2. P4 has a great eng dub. No need to switch to jap dub.

  3. Late on this, but I have to wait on these Personas until I play the most recent I purchased, Persona 5 Royal 😊. I don’t mind in-depth storytelling though as long as it is intriguing!
    *Edit: after watching both reviews (for 3 & 4 on Switch) I think I might enjoy 4 more, I really like the social aspect and how the dungeons are designed! Thanks to Holden for sharing your expertise 👍

  4. Great to see new comers play the series, I still have an extra copy of P4 Golden on my vita unopened!

  5. Get the Steam Deck. Sooo much better than this shitty Switch

  6. I’ve enjoyed every persona game I’ve ever played tbh.

  7. if you play this after then you will enjoy real 3rd semester, and "DLC lover" here got stronger bond with you than Kasumi, trust me

  8. 10 minutes passed and he got shorter

    Thanks for making this review as you did! I'm one of those who only play games on Nintendo consoles, so I've never played the Persona games before. So a review that doesn't expect previous knowledge is fantastic!

    By the way, would you advise to play Persona 4 before or after Persona 5? Not in terms of story, I know the Persona games are pretty much independent, but in terms of mechanics. For someone who has never played a Persona or a Shin Megami Tensei game, which of the two provides the smoothest learning curve?

  10. i always wanted to play persona 4 so I'm really happy ! Just bought it and i want to enjoy it but, since people don't talk about it, it doesn't bother anyone the motion blur ? i'm having a hard time fully enjoying the game because of it, so i wonder if i am the only one

  11. Favorite game ever

  12. Great entry

    It hurts my soul when an awesome game exclusively on 1 console gets ported because it kinda of ruins the legacy of when it was on that one console.
    In this case the ps vita and ur sucks now because the ps vita now gets thrown to the side and forgotten even more because the port gives it one lesss reason to play

  14. playin this game on my PS VITA beat it not gonna buy and play this again on my switch oled

  15. Classic! Still got my vita copy. Many hours back in the day lost sat in my bed lol

  16. is the game still weirdly homophobic?

  17. Ps4 got me hooked on the persona series and now I’ve played them all they’re amazing

  18. This sounds like a game I don’t want to miss out on! Can’t wait to pick it up asap

  19. Don’t know if I should get this on PS or Switch

  20. Can we get SMT4 and APOCALYPSE please!

  21. Still a masterpiece.

  22. Ha! never got into the Persona series, so thanks for the perfect introduction.. might be the time now, 94%…

  23. Hold up, this is only $20 at launch? I was expecting $30 at least! For a game of this size and quality, that is absolutely value for money. I might just get it. Cheers guys

  24. Played p4g so many times. I absolutely loooved this game, and was my entry to jrpg games

  25. Already in my switch now☺☺☺

  26. my first ever persona played it on Steam (PC)

    made me get into the franchise

    understanding how good P4G is, will make you understand what makes Persona 5 Royal the best successor to it

  27. A game you cannot put down? Oof. I played on Vita and although I liked the setting and art direction, for me everything was underwhelming. Too many invisible walls, way too linear and dungeons were stupid repetitive and characters were all cringe-inducing. After about 25 hours I decided the game wasn't gonna get any better and I dropped it. Wish I hadn't sold it though. Worth a mint now 😅
    Anywho, I moved onto Legend of Heroes after and that was way more my speed.

  28. I beat this game in high school and it was phenomenal. I’m so excited for everyone to experience this for the first time! 🎉

  29. Probably the best Persona game, or JRPG I've ever played in my life.

  30. Is it better than P5?

  31. I love both P3 and P4. Gonna buy them again, but first I have to finish XBC3 😂. About 50 hours into that game so far.

  32. P5 will always be my favourite. But P4 has a lovable cast of characters and I became really invested in there individual storylines

  33. Persona 4 Life. 😏🤭

  34. Too much Persona…

  35. Still not out on PlayStation yet

    This is amazing news, and I feel that Level 5 is one of the best at storytelling. We will surely be in for a treat this year, and I can't wait!!!!

  37. Not a fan of this game but nice review anyway 🙂 thanks!
