About Persona 4 Golden
Persona 4 Golden is an enhanced version of the role-playing game Persona 4, combining turn-based combat with daily life simulation. Players control a high school student who moves to the rural town of Inaba for one year and becomes involved in investigating a series of murders linked to a mysterious world inside television sets. Gameplay is divided between exploring randomly generated dungeons where players fight Shadows using summoned creatures called Personas, and navigating daily life by attending school, building friendships through Social Links, and developing character attributes.
Golden adds new story content including the character Marie, additional Personas, online features, new difficulty settings, expanded voice acting, and additional animated cutscenes over the original PlayStation 2 release.

Somehow FFIX still hits harder emotionally, am I wrong here?

Non, j'ai pleuré à la fin sur Inaba, pas sur IX. Chacun son vécu
QuestKnight
Il fait mieux que Final Fantasy XIII sur l'attachement aux personnages, non
Alice_1995
L'attachement oui, mais XIII a un rythme plus tenu.
LuckyHunter
FFXIII never let me care about its cast the way Inaba did, so yeah, easy pick here.
ComboWarden
Sur XIII je vois pas le rapport, moi c'est XIII qui m'a plus marqué niveau personnages.
ComboLegend
Golden ou pas, le calendrier scolaire me stresse plus que n'importe quel boss de la liste.

Je trouve la partie enquête très en retrait par rapport à ce qu'on nous vend, on suit surtout des indices évidents et les vraies surprises sont rares. Le classement lui donne un poids qu'il n'a pas vraiment gagné à mes yeux.

Les indices sont surtout redondants dans l'interface, ça n'aide pas à masquer le problème.

Comparé à Final Fantasy VII, l'histoire d'Inaba reste beaucoup plus modeste, et je trouve qu'on lui prête des qualités qu'il n'a pas vraiment.

Modest story, sure, whatever gives it a top 300 spot must be pure hype then, nothing to do with the characters.
