tl;dr: Play this game over the Vanilla PS2 game

People often overlook how much of an upgrade Golden is compared to Vanilla P4. Sure, the graphics are somehow worse than the PS2 version. But the added dialogues, events, cutscenes… All of it adds so much charm to the game.
I always thought P4 was a boring game, where nothing really happens. It did not help that the villain was spoiled for me… But Golden changed my perspective. I understood how much of a great game it was.
One of the big regrets I had when re-playing it on steam tho, was that most of the TV Listings things were deleted from the game.
It's just too bad it did not add more Chihiro screen-time --> More Chihiro = more happiness in the world.
