Persona 4 Golden is an enhanced version of the role-playing game Persona 4, combining turn-based combat with daily life simulation. Players control a high school student who moves to the rural town of Inaba for one year and becomes involved in investigating a series of murders linked to a mysterious world inside television sets. Gameplay is divided between exploring randomly generated dungeons where players fight Shadows using summoned creatures called Personas, and navigating daily life by attending school, building friendships through Social Links, and developing character attributes. Golden adds new story content including the character Marie, additional Personas, online features, new difficulty settings, expanded voice acting, and additional animated cutscenes over the original PlayStation 2 release.

I have made it through the 1st 1 month on the game calendar on normal difficulty. At level 27, and about to go through the 8th floor of the Steambath Dungeon. Not too much of a challenge yet, but the battles are just as fun as Persona 3.

The scenes with Kanji Tatsumi's alter ego are friggin' hilarious.

Personal side note - I just started my Grouvee account, and this is my first status update.

I'm really down a hole with this Persona 4 thing. I've watched the first season of the anime, and am now part of the way through the second season. I've bought the original PS2 version, and a physical version of the Vita game just to make sure I always have a copy. I think I'm a little bit crazy...

I'll write a review later, but man this game was good. I played for just over 80 hours, got the true ending, and really enjoyed myself. If you've got a Vita, get this game.

I am finally in the last dungeon. I will be finishing this game tomorrow night, I swear.

Finished the optional, second to last dungeon. I liked the story that went along with it, but that dungeon really sucked. There were way too many battles, and they are hardly worth it. You don't get much experience, and every battle takes away your magic. It really ended up just being a grind.

I finished what I thought was the final dungeon tonight. Turns out, there's a couple more to go to see the rest of this story. I'm fascinated by what's going on, but at the same time, I really want to see the end of this thing.

Died while fighting part two of what I think is the final boss today, and it took me back kind of far. Wasn't too happy when that happened. All I really want to see is the end of this story at this point. Probably will just bust out a guide that tells me the easiest way to beat this guy.

Finished the first boss of the final dungeon last night. I'm really excited to see the end of this story.

I just passed the critical December 3rd date. This game just got crazy intense. I'm almost scared to finish it because I'm so attached to all the characters right now.

Got some free time tonight, so I'm getting back into Inaba tonight. Pretty excited.

Just finished the True Ending. What an amazing game and what a perfect ending. If I wasn't at work I would be crying buckets right now. If you're doubting whether it's worth it or not to put in the extra 15 hours for the True Ending - it is, trust me. If you care about the characters or the story …

Just finished the True Ending. What an amazing game and what a perfect ending. If I wasn't at work I would be crying buckets right now. If you're doubting whether it's worth it or not to put in the extra 15 hours for the True Ending - it is, trust me. If you care about the characters or the story at all it is so worth it.I highly suggest following a spoiler-free guide to get the True Ending, it's only 2 or 3 areas where you have to pick the right option to get access to it. I also suggest maxing Marie's social link.Final playtime is 81h 59m, and every minute was beyond worth it. What a game.

I crossed the 50 hour mark this weekend. This is the longest I've spent on a game since Demon's Souls I think. It's been a long time since a game has held my attention this long.

Almost finished now... Technically already finished it a week ago but I got the normal ending and I wanted to see the 'True Ending'. Literally adds about 30+ hours onto the game if you choose the correct options. I would highly suggest anyone to read a guide to get the true ending, or at least get the extended gameplay. You can read a guide without getting anything spoiled and it's definitely worth it. As long as you're not drained of the game already. I have to admit I am getting a bit drained now and I'm glad I'm on the final boss.

The dogs and I are on the couch this rainy afternoon. Seems like a good time to get a little Inaba time in.
