This is the end of the line for our discussion podcast for Persona 4 Golden. Seems like the game hasn’t aged as gracefully as everyone wanted and that’s OK. If you, too, are not as into the gameplay but am interested in the story, we recommend watching the anime.

If you like the gameplay, but wish Persona 4 had more quality of life improvements, then you should absolutely play Persona 5. After this experience, I think its obvious to state that Persona 5 should be someone’s first experience with the Persona franchise.

We may reconvene once more if people watch the anime or try Persona 5 to discuss the franchise as a whole, but we do hope you enjoyed your time with us and this Persona 4 adventure.

Kanji has been rescued and boy, the group is disappointed with the revelation (or lack of revelation) of Kanji’s sexuality. The game is starting to show its age with its social commentary, at least looking at it from a 2023 perspective. Kanji’s story is ultimately one about society’s expectations of masculinity and how he was bullied for not fitting that mold.

Acknowledging his shadow is just the first part of his journey of personal growth in this game. In order to develop a social link with him, you’ll need to talk to a woman on the 2nd floor of the Learning Building who states Kanji has been bullying people. You’ll then find Kanji on the 1st floor of the Practice Building, longingly looking into the crafts room and you can confront him about these rumors. From here, you’ll be able to spend time with him to help him resolve his internal conflicts.

The next victim we have to save is Rise Kujikawa, a famous idol that is from Iniba. She’s been overly-sexualized due to her pervious life in the public spotlight and that manifests when she’s thrown into the TV in probably the most uncomfortable part of the game.

The group also discusses the incredibly problematic camping trip. Yikes. Ronin leads and Cookie, Melkor, and Shrimpy join the discussion

After Completing the first dungeon and recruiting Yukiko into the investigation team, you now set out to save the next potential murder victim, Kanji Tatsumi.

So far the group isn’t exploring the life simulator aspect of this game all that much. Iniba is a small town, but there’s always multiple options for things to do each day. Here’s some quick tips for how you can spend your time:

You can earn money and raise your skills by getting a job. Check the bulletin board near the Aiya restaurant for available jobs.

-Join clubs and hang out with with your friends. Spending time with your pals will allow you to fuse stronger personas

-Fuse your personas! This will allow you to pass on strong attacks to Personas with high stats.

-Give Marie your skill cards. Skill cards are one time use. Giving them to Marie will allow you to purchase multiple later.

-Make sure you buy vegetable seeds. Tomatoes can restore SP!

-The group so far in unimpressed with this JRPG favorite. The life simulator aspect hasn’t grabbed them and no one is super enthused to invest time in activities outside dungeon crawling. At least they like the story.
