This Year in RPGs: November

Persona 4 Golden (released 11/20/2012)


Although a port of a PS2 game, P4G provides a solid RPG experience on the Vita. For a system in dire need of software, Persona 4 Golden is a welcome sight.



One thing I failed to highlight in my last blog post about Persona 4 Golden is the humor present in the series. It's a dialogue heavy series, and some of that dialogue is quite funny. Again, because the game is centered around Japan, (or rather a fictitious Japanese countryside) some of that humor may be lost on us culturally, but most of the time localization efforts manage to convey the joke.

Graphically, Persona 4 Golden is rather pretty to behold. Persona 4 arrived on the PS2 at the end of the cosole's life, and the developer seemed to squeeze every last drop of processing power in making the game. Now on Vita, with a new shiny coat of paint, Persona 4 Golden wouldn't look out of place on the PS3 or Xbox 360.



It seems like just yesterday I was recommending picking up Persona 4 Golden to everyone that has a Vita, so I won't spend too much more time going on about it, but allow me to just reiterate: If you have a Vita and like RPGs, buy it.
