despite everything in the cultural zeitgeist shifting persona 4 still has the most immaculate vibes of any persona game. there really is no game that quite has this aesthetic

Also in spite of the obvious things like "it was a PS2 game first", P4 and its aesthetics are such Vita Things in my head, ya know? I just associate the two together so heavily because P4G really was such a big part of why I got into the Vita as a console even if I already owned one for Wipeout 2048
i think persona 5's motif taking off was one thing but i'm really surprised p4 never got that treatment on such a wide scale. the sound design and UI of P4 is so pretty and so uniquely one with itself (which is ironic considering the themes of the game lol)
To me Persona 4 is a game that your view of entirely depends on when in your life you played it. Experiencing it as a teen who didn't feel like I had any direction in life really gave it a personal meaning to me. But I also understand how people are turned off by it when they play it later.
absolutely, i think persona 4 is one of those games where the flaws are difficult to look past (especially irt naoto/kanji, without getting into any of that stuff) but ironically i think this makes it more self-fulfilling because character arcs are centralized around embracing your flaws lol
i played it as a teen and it helped me through some really tough times so it means a lot to me and i love it but i also kind of hate a lot of it these days sadly
i still think theres strong moments but a lot of it just feels either needlessly cruel or ... idk how to put it. conformist?
it feels like so much of that game is trying to teach the moral that if youre an outcast you should do your best to not be disruptive to Others and it makes me uncomfortable for a game that on the surface is about discovering who you really are

I know pointing out any of the vocal themes is kind of going for the lowest hanging fruit, but God damn this is just a good song, period.
Even had that skin for the console but it didn't last long
