I played this during my prime Persona obsession caused by playing Persona 5 Royal for 2 weeks straight, and I will admit I was a little biased. Persona 5 Royal is my favorite game in the franchise so far, and with this games very ancient looks and gameplay compared to p5's I was hesitant to play this worrying that I would hate it upon the first 3 hours of the game.
Boy was I wrong.
Persona 4 Golden is another fantastic game in and of itself. It may look old and dated, but the story is still as good as ever and it helped lead the way for Atlus to spread its wings far enough to create the extravagant Persona 5. The story is creative and heart-wrenching, each character in the Investigation Team and everyone outside of it are all great and flowing with personality, and the town of Inaba helps create this sense of charm that really ties everything together. Persona 4 is another prime example of why this series is so beloved, and while I do have some quarrels with the story and characters compared to the other games, I'm still incredibly happy that I gave this game a chance.
