PERSONA 4

Help me out fellow anons
So, after beating Persona 3 for the first time, the time has come to play Persona 4. There's a Golden version that's apparently better on Vita, but i don't have a vita and i doubt i'm going to get one this year.
Here's my question:
is it REALLY that good, and should i wait for a vita emulator/to get a vita, or should i just fuck it and play the base version on PS2?
Pic semi related.

just get a ps TV

This, it's cheap and P4 Golden really is a major upgrade.

I don't have a TV i could hook that up to, i recently moved out and the only TV i could take from my parents' house was one of those big gray boxes you can only use RCA with
>inb4 how can you not have a tv blah blah
i'm a slav, shit's pricey yo

You could always play Golden later if you're one to replay games like this.

Golden is objectively better unless you're actually allergic to anime filler and Marie, but vanilla is fine too. The biggest bonus in Golden is the ability to choose what skills you pass on in fusion, instead of having to RNG it forever.

I did replay P3P because of the FeMC, though i did that because switching genders is a big thing and i wanted to see how it affects everything, from what i've seen P4Golden just adds shit and buying vita, or a ps TV, just to replay P4 seems meh as well

how do i get the max fps out of this game on pcsx2?

Context on gif?

Akihiko's lines from P3 and his "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS" and "Where have you been?" have become a meme, so they put "Where have you been?" in place of "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS"

Ask yourself this.

Do you want to listen to vanilla P4 Chie?
Or do you want to listen to Golden P4 Chie?
Pick your poison.

Nothing good on TV anyway, good riddance. I'm in the same situation as you and I certainly don't miss that piece of shit box. Also a slav.

Well that too, i don't watch TV at all and getting a better TV, AND a PS TV just to play P4G doesn't sound good
Getting a Vita JUST for P4G doesn't sound good either, that's why im asking since peeps online keep saying you should apparently get an used vita just to play P4G

Then plug it into your computer monitor, genius.

Believe it or not, my monitor does not have any HDMI ports.

PSTV was gonna be my suggestion (best way to play it), so I don't really know what to suggest. Go for the PS2 version, I guess. Given that you're a slav, will you be playing it in English? If so, try to ignore Chie's voice as hard as you can and eventually you'll get used to it. Teddie too to a lesser extent. Sadly you won't get the best social link in the game (it's a Golden exclusive), but at least you'll be able to play it whatsoever.

Well i heard the Golden exclusive, Marie, is apparently fucking annoying but that's someone's opinion i guess.
What's wrong with Chie's voice? Haven't played it yet

Get an HDMI to RCA adapter. That should work. Something like this:

I think you bigger things to worry about than playing p4 or p4g

I'm not talking about Marie. She's a different addition. The social link I'm thinking of is male and it's a huge spoiler.

Won't it look and sound like garbage?

>Buy a vita
>CFW
>SD adapter soon
Literally a win win situation

>what's wrong with Chie's voice

She infamously sounds too old in the original P4, which is why most people call OG P4's Chie "grandma Chie." Still, that's all subjective. Some people prefer it. I'm simply not one of those people

Vita emulation isn't happening in the coming years, just go with the original.

I guess i'll just wait for my poor ass to get a Vita, i see there's tons of new shit in golden, might as well go through my backlog in the meantime.
Thanks anons

I mean, it'll probably be less than optimal, sure, but it sounds like you don't have a ton of options, man.
>Original P4
>Wait indefinitely for a Vita
>Buy a whole new TV or monitor just so you can buy a PSTV along with it
Just trying to give you some sort of middle-ground solution. You're going to get an imperfect experience regardless if you don't play Golden, so pick your poison, I guess. The vastly improved and updated version of the game vs. graphical and audio fidelity.

Vanilla P4 Chie is great, so that's a pretty easy choice.

>Some user said that Jester S Link spoils the entire soup
>Its actually nothing
Maybe im too retarded

I'm playing P3 at the moment and I'm in the same boat but I think I will just go with the original. It can't be THAT much worse, people had to love it in the first place for it to get a remaster. I'm not a completionist anyway so I shouldn't miss the new content too much.

Yeah i get that, what's bumming me is after beating P4 i'd probably go and discuss it on Sup Forums in any of the threads i stumble upon, and then i'd probably spoil myself about all that cool stuff p4 golden adds
I wish there was a way ot import a save from P4 or something, then it wouldn't be that much of a problem

You and the other user are free to hold whatever opinions you want.

Does P4 Golden have an undub? I couldn't find one on groogle.

I don't remember if I ever finished his link but Adachi having one of the special arcana makes it incredibly obvious that he's actually very important to the main plot and there aren't exactly a lot of things that that could be

Not really sure what to tell you, Slavic user. Sometimes you've just gotta take the cards you're dealt and roll with 'em.

Meh, you'd only be missing out on some new scenes, worse music and a shitty new character.

>Vanilla Chie

yeah try nyaa

I know it's stupid, but some people genuinely don't notice that sort of thing. I had a friend play through the entire thing completely unaware that Adachi was the cuplrit, in spite of him following along with the social link up until the reveal.

>nyaa
TOO SOON user

Makes sense i guess
>There are people that havent been spoiled prior to play p4
Truly a rare occasion indeed

I'm and I've known for years it was fucking him. Fuck Sup Forums and Sup Forums

look through the links in the homebrew thread on /vg/ or just search for it on reddit in the /vitapiracy/ sub. I know for sure someone uploaded it and linked it on reddit a couple months ago.

Sometimes it feels as if I'm the only one who liked her.

Not OP, but would anyone recommend emulating the PS2 verison of it?

I just did and had a blast. Go for it.

Overall Marie isn't even that bad honestly.
Yes, she talks like a fucking retard and the way they force you to listen to her edgy poems about muffins and mermaids when you just want to quickly hop into the velvet room and fuse something is absurd, but the overall story benefits a lot from her and her dungeon between Adachi's and the finale. It's legitimately a worse game without her.

Slavish OP here, same, i've known that he's a bad guy before playing any persona game.

Thanks user, going in blind as my first Persona game expecting good things.

No.
Chie sounds like a 40 year old and there's less content.
It's the worst version of the game.

Maybe if she appearead in the shit that mc-kun and his friends does instead of a sub-plot that no one gives a shit
>Mary sue event starts
>Everyone magically appears
Ah come on

>going in blind
Leave this thread right now and don't come back to Sup Forums until you finish it. Start running.
Oh, and have fun.

>Chie sounds like a 40 year old
This is objectively false.

see you all in a month, thanks

Play P3 first senpai, you'll likely want to play it after P4 and it's somewhat different in mechanics.
Trust me, it's epic.

Nanako is the killer

You're alright user. The English voiced Chie I like is the one from vanilla. Even if she's voiced by a hag.

YA IT'S FUKKIN WORFF IT

Is a vita TV in the budget? I've seen those used/on sale for $40-50 before. That might be a good option.

For me personally, golden was worth it just for manual inheritance.

Nevermind. Just checked. $60 on amazon right now.
That still opens you up to a couple other solid and heavily discounted games, as well.

Release 3 and 4 on ps4 REEEEEEE

>it's another
>"Hey Sup Forums, I need to decide between A or B, but A seems expensive is it worth it?"
>Yeah it is, and you can get A for cheap.
>"Oh, uh, well, you see I Iive in a shoebox and have spaghetti for hair, so I can't be asked to choose A"
>episode
THEN PICK B YOU FUCKING RETARD.
Why even make the thread if your mind's made up already?

Plottwist: OP picked A after all, you giant retard.

Just play Vanilla P4 on a PS3 or emulator

You'll be just missing:
>Chie's atrocious new VA
>Widescreen aspect ratio
>Sharper, "HD" like menus
>A trash new character named Marie
>A trash epilogue
>One or two social links
>One new trash dungeon

you can just watch on YouTube the new social links and epilogue and you're good to go

Trash "opinion"

For some reason I think that feMC was way better than his male counterart in P3P. The dialogues felt more bland with male MC.

Yes, I got both my P3 FES and my P4G games undub from a yukikofag on a vitapiracy thread, you'll just need to create an account.

I don't see how someone can stomach the dub froom both games, sounds like hot garbage.
