Played this game twice on PS VITA, isn't stopping me from playing this the third and beyond-amount of times.

Persona 4 Golden, as many of my friends know, is not only my favorite game, but one I refuse to ever shut up about.

The added Japanese voice over, sound effects, crispier visuals, uncapped framerate, overall smooth optimization and the addition of adding Persona 4 GOLDEN, over the already-amazing original, really shows how much they care for Persona 4 as a game, how much they care about the fan/playerbase and expanding it. At a crazy good price, on top of that. ATLUS and SEGA clearly put an extreme amount of love and effort onto the PC version.

ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and you'd be crazy to miss out on the OST by not spending only $5 more on the Deluxe Edition.

Pros:
+ Amazing writing; characters are well-developed and colorful, the writing presents a solid theme, handles and tackles modern-day social and humanistic issues amazingly
+ Personality-filled voice-acting performance (Pretty solid English dub also!)
+ Uncapped framerates, solid overall PC adaptation
+ Addition of Japanese voiceover and sound effects
+ Immersive worldbuilding; lighthearted and dark moments are well-balanced, modern social aspects are relatable and well-portrayed, making for a relatable, atmospheric experience
+ Smooth, challenging turn-based combat
+ Highly replayable, and first runthrough alone is approx 40+ hours.
+ "Grind" doesn't feel repetitive
+ Top-tier, emotional soundtrack
+ Smooth (enough) controls
+ Affordable price tag

Cons:
- Dungeon layout can get very repetitive, although aesthetically very good
- Mitsuo's very existence and Izanami (but no form of writing is ever perfect)
