P5 isn't any more voluminous than P4G so that excuse doesn't work. Find some other excuse for why the P5 localization is an obvious step down in quality.

At this point, should Atlus release Persona 4 Golden on PS4?

Actually, all this talk of P3 getting an upgrade is much better. I played Portable before FES and with the improvements P3P made, going to FES is...hard. Controlling party members being the obvious one, but fast travel is still pretty big. Not to mention everything that Golden and 5 had on top of it. FES tells a story better, but I frankly had no issues with P3P's visual novel based storytelling.

Is this just, like, runaway hype that can only yield crushing disappointment?
I've got things about games that I find myself being obsessive and analytical about, but I'm so glad this isn't one of them.
I think the Japanese flavor is really evident in all of P5's writing and, frankly, I like this direction. It's clear that this was Atlus' intent -- chase authenticity wherever possible -- and in 96 hours I've only noticed them step over the line into "obviously awkward" a handful of times.
On-topic: Atlus should definitely remaster the entire series in a content-complete PS4 collection. Though I'm not sure I would replay P4G for quite some time. Chasing that Platinum was incredibly fulfilling 2.5-playthrough experience. Nevermind that P5 either meets or exceeds P4G in every way.

Atlus could just release Persona 4 as a PS2 Classic.

Technically P4G is a more full featured and better value game because of all the extra shit they put into, but I don't know...
Tonally I felt all the new scenes they added in that game to be off. The character interactions did not sound right to me, like they were all more exaggerated than they were in the original portions of the game. I felt combined with the new stuff in P4G, and the Persona 4 Arena stories, they started to make the characters into caricatures of themselves more, and I felt it showed more in P4G, because of the more obvious contrast right next to the original content. It never sat well with me, and still makes me prefer the PS2 version of the game.
That, and original Chie is still better.

I'd prefer a remastered P3:FES with the P3P FemMC stuff added in
OMG Dozens of lines out of several thousand? We should burn it all down and start again

I'd love to see it on PS4!
P3: FES should be the version ported. I really dislike how much the PSP version killed P3's amazing presentation.

Being mad that an editor took the time to document some of the problems with the localization of Persona 5 is extremely petty.
It was you wasn't it?

Sure why not? I probably wouldn't play it again, going for the platinum trophy on Vita made me never wanna play it again haha(still love it though).
Lol, no.

the p5 localization is unacceptable in a post-nier world

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I would, in every case, rather have a Vita game on a console than on the Vita. So yes, I would like Persona 4 Golden on PS4.

This kind of thinking undermines how much the game is changed by FeMC. I can't play P3 without her.

I hope they do it. Legit considering getting a Vita for 4 when I finish 5.

Why not 1 and 2 as well?

Surprised they haven't done so already. It seems to make perfect business sense given the top of mind that persona currently is with P5 doing so well.
P4G on PS4 could easily sell 500K worldwide.

I just want both Persona 2 games in one package, to be honest.

Because 1 is like the worst game in the entire SMT series
Not really, but it's bottom of the barrel
FES with the improvements from portable would be the ultimate, the visual novel presentation on the PSP was too much of a loss to me
It was the original idea for the PSP ports. I want they try again, but please please take P2 Batsu as the base game.
Oh damn I need to do that. Not really one to switch to Japanese voices generally, but it would work perfectly for this game given the style of the translation like you noted.

Yes, I own P4G but i just have zero interest in playing a long game on a handheld, would definitely double dip on P3 and P4 ported over to PS4.

It seems like they just didn't give it the care Maragos would have.
It's really good. The characters are sort of broad strokes but the game doesn't pretend they're not and they don't need to be more than that.
We already got 2 topics about this. What does this have to do with a p4 port?

thanks for stating your irrelevant opinions twice in this P4G thread. at least try to make it relate to the topic....you just want to be quoted and troll dont you?
P5 has a more than acceptable translation anyways.
regarding P4G - a port might be worth it for them to release, not sure if anything more though. I probably wouldn't buy it again, but people definitely would, especially with those new to the series that P5 has brought in. the dungeons could easily turn them off though
The PSTV is essentially a tiny (like a pack of cards) Vita you can play with a DS4 on a TV. I personally think it's well worth $50 (cheaper than a new game), but that's just my opinion.
Also in the same typography as the game. It's way too much effort for just pointing out a few mistakes that got passed.
Oh, this not the localisation topic lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Golden port is announced at this year's PSX.

just slap on trophies and release fes and vanilla p4 via the ps2 emulator

As long it isn't substantially relocalized I'd be ok with it.
Haha! Perfect.
A PS4 port doesn't make much sense for the japanese market and Atlus rarely (if ever) does anything with the western audience in mind, so I don't see it happening, honestly.
P3FES and P4 as PS2 on PS4 titles are a no brainer though.

but please do every other PS2 Megaten game first!
This is true.
That would be awesome!

I wonder if Sony could just sell you PSV games on PS4 though some kind of emulator that is can play anything a PSV TV could. So Vita, PS1 and PSP games.
Of course none of your existing back library will carry over because Sony gonna Sony and gives zero fucks about your investments into their platform but I think there is probably a decent legacy market for them if they wanted.
