    **Jogo** - Persona 4 Golden - Atlus - 2008
    Conheci a franquia Persona na pandemia quando eu joguei o estiloso Persona 5 que estava em promoção na PSN, de começo me apaixonei pelo jogo e destrinchei suas mais de 80 horas de jogo.
    Esse ano tive a felicidade de jogar seu anterior e posso dizer que apesar das diferenças obvias devido a diferença de tempo de produções de ambos seu anterior na fica devendo em nada.
    Nele controlamos Yu Narukami que passa a viver com seu Tio Dojima e sua filha Nanako na fictícia e pacata cidade de Inaba e lá começamos nosso primeiro dia de estudante onde vamos conhecer e conviver durante um ano com os habitantes dessa cidade, porém junto com o dia a dia há nessa um assassino que deixa os corpos de suas vitimas em situações estranhas sem deixar pistas.
    Os enredos dos jogos Persona normalmente segue esse estilo, um personagem de fora da cidade chega, lá ele conhece pessoas, se encontra diante de um desafio e assim a história se desenrola, porém esse desenrolar é onde está o brilho da série.
    Cada jogo trata de uma temática central onde ela é trabalhada através dos seus personagens e no andar da história.
    Persona 3 tem a temática morte, com predominância da cor azul e personagens mais sombrios e densos.
    Persona 5 trata da liberdade, com a predominância da cor vermelha e personagens carismáticos e fortes e principalmente rebeldes.
    Persona 4 trata da verdade no quesito de a busca pela verdade e de como somos realmente em nossos defeitos e qualidades, predominância da cor amarela e personagens que estão em processo de autodescoberta lidando com a descoberta de quem são realmente.
    Irei manter minha análise por aqui por que o que importa mesmo é o que está no profundo, o que está além, a mensagem do jogo abrange toda a sociedade, e como essa desvia o olhar para a verdade buscando o que está nas aparências, por incapacidade para lidar e aceitar o que realmente é, utilizando os mitos xintoístas como inspiração.
    Persona é aquele tipo de jogo que assim como Nier Automata, Final Fantasy, Okami e Journey que flertam com a filosofia, psicologia e principalmente com a Arte.
    Esses são jogos que quando finalizados você com certeza não é a mais pessoa de antes de apertar o Play!

    It was my first Persona game, it was very fun because of the daily life and the combat is fun, but the dungeons being randomly generated was very disappointing with a sloppy mechanic in some of the floors put into it, I am glad that the dungeons can be completed in just like a couple of hours and move again into the fun part of the game. Glad they changed in Persona 5 with the palaces,It was my first Persona game, it was very fun because of the daily life and the combat is fun, but the dungeons being randomly generated was very disappointing with a sloppy mechanic in some of the floors put into it, I am glad that the dungeons can be completed in just like a couple of hours and move again into the fun part of the game.

    Persona 4 Golden is a very fun Game with a very interesting story. I had much fun playing this game but sometimes I got frustrated because I was constantly underleveld and then I made the golden hand manipulation and because I had to play on my keyboard and not good with it did they keep despawning in my face or walk into me so that they flee. But overall a pretty good game.

    Its combat is difficult I'll tell you that.
    But the romance options are good.

    Pros:
    - Great Writing
    - Good Story with a lot of twists - Great Characters (this might be covered by "Great Writing" and "Good Story", but still) - Adjustable Difficulty for certain aspects of the game - Good amount of Replayablity through New Game + - Good quality voice acting for the English voice lines - Interesting gameplay separation between the main world and the other world
    Pros:
    - Great Writing
    - Good Story with a lot of twists
    - Great Characters (this might be covered by "Great Writing" and "Good Story", but still)
    - Adjustable Difficulty for certain aspects of the game
    - Good amount of Replayablity through New Game +
    - Good quality voice acting for the English voice lines
    - Interesting gameplay separation between the main world and the other world
    - Soundtrack is full of BANGERS (ex: Heartbreak, Heartbeat; and Your Affection)
    - the cutscenes that they have in this game are very well animated

    Cons:
    - Audio Quality could've been better for the Japanese Voice Lines
    - At least to a monkey-brained person like me, The True Ending is a bit too hard to achieve without a guide
    - The Anime Tropes can get very annoying at times.
    - It isn't the most replayable due to the fact that it's a story-based game AND a mystery
    - you will be depressed for weeks after you completed the game

    Verdict: To preface this, I'd like to say that I'm not too big of a fan of RPGs, let alone JRPGs; but with that being said, this is one of my favorite games of all time. I'd completely recommend buying it and playing it blind.

    a wonderful JRPG, I'm not a fan of this kind of games but PERSONA has something charming, an interesting world with interesting dialogues and a story that catches you

    One of the best stories across all RPGs, and the only gal-like game that tugs at my heart with harem-induced suffering.

    La historia y los personajes son muy memorables además de su carisma y arte que no había visto en otro juego , lo único malo serían las masmorras un poco repetitivas las cuales te aburren en ciertos casos .

    Amazing cast, really loved the interactions between everyone. The graphics aren't anything to write home about but it gets the job done. The music, while repetitive, is pretty good on its own. The dungeons are a big letdown with how repetitive it gets but it is serviceable. The overall plot is good enough to keep you wanting more.

    Great game in every aspect. There is only one thing that was disappointing for me, it's quite easy to predict the main antagonist, but overall the story is really good!!!

    It’s a strong showing that is genuinely fun to return to, even if I think certain characters’ stories deserved better representation and development. I’m glad a whole new audience will get to visit Inaba.

    By the end of the game, Inaba will feel like home to you. [Issue#247, p.50]

    Persona 4 Golden was largely considered one of the PlayStation Vita’s must-play titles and for good reason. Inaba’s small-town feel, the fantastic cast, incredibly personable dialogue, excellent audio, and strong gameplay combine to make the game a superb all-around experience. Though there are no distinct advantages of playing this version over the Vita one, its release on PC should be rightfully celebrated for giving a whole new set of RPGamers the chance to play a game that resonates just as strongly now as it first did.
