uh yeah?Įvery game is going to have aspects you aren’t going to enjoy, some people probably enjoyed the confidant or activities you didn’t enjoy. The reason the completion time for Royal is long isn’t necessarily the “fluff” you are talking about, but rather the massive amounts of text you have to sit through for story purposes, some stuff gets said over and over a LOT.īesides that, regarding the “fluff” I’m kinda confused, what it really sounds like is simply a matter of preference, in that you didn’t like some of the confidants, excess time or some of the extra (but not required) activities. Hmm, well I haven’t finished P4G, but I have finished Royal, and honestly I think I understand what you’re saying but I think something should be clarified. Royal built off of Golden, so it makes sense there are more features, and things I like from the newest version. Even with all the differences I put up, I would rate them both the same in terms of how much I want to play them. That's enough of my ranting, and I know I am on a Persona 4 Sub so this might not be a popular opinion, but I do truly think both games are 10/10. At least with Royal though, you get perks for these interactions. I love Yumi's version though, not so much the band route). For Golden I would say the weakest are: Hanged, Tower, Temperance, Hermit, Death, and Sun (iffy, for me. But most of that is based on my interest in their story. I think each one has their merits, but if I were to pick the weakest from Royal, I would say: Devil, Hanged, and Sun. Personally I love all of them (minus a few from Golden I didn't get a chance to get to know). I noticed you mention how you don't like many of the confidants in Royal, but I would argue that many of the ones in Golden are just as bad. Royals group by contrary feel more like aged up high schoolers (except maybe Ryuji). They are childish which is endearing, and they don't really feel like they've hit that stage in childhood where you have to worry about adult stuff. The characters are all fantastic and feel like kids who started a mystery group after school. The murder mystery segments to this game are fantastic, and it has a lot of heart tugging moments. I think it has a fantastic story about a small town that progressively gets bigger the more you interact with it's inhabitants. The characters, the friendship, the comradery. Sure the walls look different, but everything is basically a giant maze of hallways. I don't feel I can say the same about Golden. Every dungeon in Royal is unique, and fills a role. I like that each Palace is designed and has a layout, as opposed to random floors, and I love spending time in momento's. Royal has great style, and great gameplay, as well as a ton of Quality of Life improvements to the leveling/fusion systems. I have no nostalgia for either game btw, I played them both over the last 2 years. Personally I think Royal is better than Golden. But, Persona 4 and 5 feel like I am actually ripping off the developers- which is a strange feeling I've never had before. A lot of games I've bought in my life either felt like I got ripped off (short game/underdeveloped) or they just felt. One thing is for certain though, both Persona 4 and Persona 5 are some of the few games I've played where I actually feel like I've ripped off the developers, rather than the other way around. I'm not even halfway through Persona 5 yet, so, I am holding off on any overly-elaborate opinions of it. Here's something as well, Persona 4's party social links blow Persona 5's party social links out of the water in my opinion (because I love Persona 4's cast so much), but, Persona 5 has far, far better social links for characters outside of your main party. I will say however, that there's zero doubt in my mind that Persona 5 has way better dungeon design and combat. I also felt more intrigued with Persona 4's murder mystery plot more-so than I am interested in the plot surrounding Persona 5. Persona 4 has far, far better characters in my opinion- and a WAY better soundtrack. I'm not experienced in both games enough to answer this question, as, right now, I am only roughly 30 hours into Persona 5: Royal, however, even if it is an early judgement, I will say that there's elements of Persona 4 I prefer over Persona 5, and likewise there's elements of Persona 5 I prefer over Persona 4.
