Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #persona4golden, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I'm intrigued by #Persona4Golden so far but it already feels like I have the same problem I had with #LikeADragon, there's just so much dialogue. It's not a fault of the game, it's just a bit much for my liking. I'll stick with it for a while longer but I'm not hopeful. #P4G #VideoGames #Gaming

  2. Od premiery #MetaphorReFantazio, kręcę się w okolicach około-personowych. #Persona3Reload to był mój punkt wejścia w ten „gatunek”, ale w kolejce czekają jeszcze kolejne odsłony.

    O #Persona4Golden bardzo fajnie pisze Darek z @pograneeu 👇🏻

  3. CW: Persona 4 Golden spoilers

    That’s a wrap on P4G! What an absolutely incredible story and experience. It did drag a bit at a few places, but so worth it in the end!

    Excited to dive into P5R, but think I’m gonna need a bit of a break first, haha.

    Oop, I fucked up. Shouldn’t have tossed him in the TV. Time to reload!

    Ran the Secret Laboratory and rescued Naoto! Backtracking was annoying but I like how they try to keep the dungeons different and interesting.

    Chose Yukiko and maxed out her social link. Also maxed out Athletes and Marie. Started working at the hospital to boost courage to start the Ai link. The nurse is creeping me out.

    Closing in on 20 hours. Just recently realized I could take Marie out of the Velvet Room, so a little late to that party.

    Have met Rise, am working my way thru the striptease. It’s entertaining to me when even the characters are like “This is going a bit too far.”

    The Vita was a bit too “squinty” for the amount of text in P4G so I ended up switching to the Steam Deck which has been a much more comfortable experience.

    About ten hours in now, scored average on midterms and Kanji has just shown up on the Midnight Channel. Still enjoying the game quite a bit more than I’d expected! It’s very nice to kick back and relax.

  9. I've listened Chie's voice from the original #Persona4 game. Because of the voice, her character appears completely different from #Persona4Golden I didn't know there was such a difference for players of the original game. She seemed much more mature and calm in the original.

  10. There were a lot of Persona cosplayers at the con throughout and I was able to get some pictures with some more. Akechi is probably one of my favourite Megami Tensei characters honestly.

  11. Clip stuido crashed while making this so I had to make it in Paint instead

  12. I got my peeps to level 99, and I'm fusing some special personas 🥳 In a remake, I'd like to see an interface to fuse and sort personas like in P3R. I'm enjoying the game so much that I don't want it to end, but I also feel the need of some variety and to get back to some unfinished Steam games. This #Atlus rush has been great, but Catherine and P5 will have to wait, hehe #Persona4Golden #videogames

  13. I just want Marie's dungeon to end. Suddenly, I feel like I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei. #Persona4Golden

  14. It’s been a minute! I was on vacation and travelled to visit family. I had the best intentions to keep up with my gaming streak but very quickly noticed that I wouldn’t do anything else if I played video games like I normally do. I enjoyed the change of pace and being with family I haven’t seen in a while. We took walks in historical places, went to museums and churches, ate good food and talked about everything we could think of. We also got our share of family drama, but all things considered, I enjoyed my time very, very much. 

    Between reading, doing crochet, and playing with gorgeous family cats, I found some moments where I could play a little bit of Persona 4 Golden. I’m still reading The House in Fata Morgana, but I think my enthusiasm ended at the end of the main game. A Requiem for Innocence had some interesting, even exciting story arcs, but Resurrection is a slog and so unnecessary. When I’m reading it I feel like I should be doing something else, however I can’t put down something that I’ve already started. It’s just that I don’t really need to know the backstories of everyone involved in the main game when the information is already available there. I don’t need to know their futures either because it deletes the uncertainty that made the ending of the main game so meaningful.

    On another note, it isn’t surprising that I’m enjoying Persona 4 Golden as much as I am. It’s the Atlus effect! Their games are good and appeal to me with no effort. I don’t care if it’s high schoolers again fighting against some sinister power because the characters, their portraits, the art, the story, the gameplay, are just pure top tier goodness. I think the story and atmosphere in Persona 3 Reload is more up my alley though. The green fog, the corrupted minds, the certainty of the end of days, the messiah that will save us all – it’s in fact a very familiar story in the sense that it conveys a positive message of love, sacrifice and, ultimately, physical and spiritual endurance. That group of friends goes through everything imaginable to save what they believe in, their connections, the love between each other, and the world at large.

    One of my favourite scenes so far in Persona 4 Golden

    Persona 4 Golden is a bit more chill in the story aspect, at least so far. I don’t believe there isn’t any higher power at work, good or bad. Is there in fact any Persona game that doesn’t make us question our beliefs and drives us through hell to make us see the significance of everything around us? It’s the little things, man. The story is more like a thriller – a set of mysterious murders and disappearances in the city of Inaba connected to antennas and the TV. Bodies are found dangling from antennas, people disappear from the world and end up inside a TV program that broadcasts on rainy nights. We soon discover that we can literally enter the TV and save people there before it’s too late.

    The main story is focused on the investigation aspect. The Velvet room’s existence feels even more mysterious with the presence of Maria and her dry sense of humour. I haven’t explored Margaret’s social link yet to see if there’s more than a list of boring persona fusions I won’t ever use. Then there’s loads of other social links, all significantly impacting the power of our fused personas. The core group we play with is positively affected in battle the higher our social link is. I’ve been focusing mostly on the party we play with and the characters we can interact with at night. 

    Persona 4 Golden is the best version of the game there is, but it isn’t a remake like Reload with all the quality of life features these remakes have been spoiling us with. I think the game is perfectly fine, but I can’t say I feel like I’m being as efficient in my time management as I was in Reload. Most of the time I have no idea about what I can do on certain days. I often feel like I’m wasting time in activities like fishing. Fishing makes time pass as well as maintaining the garden, but catching bugs doesn’t. It’s confusing. This is where the voice feature comes in. It’s a feature that lets us see what other players did during the day we’re in. I use it to get some clues about which people are available that day to hang out, and it’s also useful to see what activities got the bigger number of participants. For a first playthrough, it beats having a guide with me at all times.

    After about 30 hours of gameplay, I still don’t have a clue about what’s going on and most likely I’m not supposed to. I believe I stopped playing at the time when I got all the clues about Naoto and I’m ready to step into his dungeon. I haven’t been in the mood for dungeon crawling these days, so I took a little break from the game. Persona games slowly build up and I kind of enjoy the pace. Since this time I’m playing the game in shorter sessions I’m not following the story so thoroughly. 

    I’ve mentioned on Mastodon how uncomfortable I feel with Yosuke’s homophobia. I don’t want to dwell on it because most people know it’s wrong and unacceptable. I think, however, that situations like the tent scene are all too common among younger and even older people, and still should be represented in video games. I’m not for censuring older games because of their unfortunate takes, but I’d like to have had some agency as a player to tell Yosuke that his masculinity is not at risk by sharing the same tent with a colleague because he’s gay or bisexual.

    I know that all this can be seen as good fun and extremely natural interactions between young boys. Besides, I’m far from the intended audience for this game, but since I’m playing it, allow me to express some disbelief and disappointment. I enjoyed Yosuke’s character from the start. He’s the less stupid sidekick I had the pleasure to know and yet later he presents himself as the main sexist and homophobic from the group. I don’t know why I’m so shocked since almost every boy in my class in the 90s was Yosuke. I don’t know how things are between people from that age group today but I guess we’ve come a long way since then. 

    On another note, the game is beautiful to look at and it shines with the little stories for every social link. Chie and Marie are two of my favourite characters and I find Hisano and the nurse very intriguing and a bit creepy. The other social links that I’m more engaged with are Dojima and Nanako, who’s struggling with immense solitude. I’m still expecting some weird twists in the main story but I haven’t run into any major events yet. Everything happening in the margins has been so satisfying that I don’t feel any need to rush things. 

    Overall my experience with the game has been very positive and my level of enjoyment is on par with Persona 3 Reload. Both experiences are very distinct from each other, even when sharing the same Megami Tensei universe. I’m really enjoying these games, what sets them apart and what connects them in a broader sense. It’s not a dull franchise where everything looks the same and feels the same, just with better coat of paint. As soon as I get back into my routine I’ll spend some afternoons with this great cast of characters.

    On another note, the game is beautiful to look at and it shines with the little stories for every social link. Chie and Marie are two of my favourite characters and I find Hisano and the nurse very intriguing and a bit creepy. The other social links that I’m more engaged with are Dojima and Nanako, who’s struggling with immense solitude. I’m still expecting some weird twists in the main story but I haven’t run into any major events yet. Everything happening in the margins has been so satisfying that I don’t feel any need to rush things. 

    Overall my experience with the game has been very positive and my level of enjoyment is on par with Persona 3 Reload. Both experiences are very distinct from each other, even when sharing the same Megami Tensei universe. I’m really enjoying these games, what sets them apart and what connects them in a broader sense. It’s not a dull franchise where everything looks the same and feels the same, just with better coat of paint. As soon as I get back into my routine I’ll spend some afternoons with this great cast of characters.

  18. 【里中千枝】

    準備>畫稿>拍照>套色>ALT 差不多花了一個小時,畫得很順。應該是頭髮部份做得最好。

    畫同人會回憶起打電動的時候。儘管現在已經沒有耐性去玩時間管理大師遊戲,但是還是滿喜歡 P4G 的

    等等可以來讀書了……

  19. I'm over 48hrs into #Persona3Portable & it's dragging. I've enjoyed a lot but it's feeling like it's wearing out it's welcome. Hope it picks up/wraps up soon. This isn't helped by 2 NPCs I'm clearly supposed to max a link w/being so unlikable I choose no to every opportunity to interact w/them. This includes the romantic interest - of which there are only opposite sex options. When I finish or abandon the game it will either be my last #persona game or I'll put #Persona4Golden in my queue
