Game Over: Persona 4 Golden

Dane reached the end of Persona 4 Golden.

Persona 3 was arguably the game that made me appreciate JRPGs again. Lisa: The Painful and Earthbound both helped in more minor ways, but whilst I eventually trailed off on completing both, Persona 3’s story and characters kept me hooked the whole way. I hadn’t really felt that attached to a game’s cast to that degree before, and it made me understand what people loved about the JRPG format. The long form meant you had a very significant portion of time to get to know your party members and to invest yourself in the world and story. It was a great revelation, it felt like finally solving a puzzle that you’d been stuck on for weeks.
