PERSONA 4 GOLDEN FOR BEGINNERS 

Also available on Steam :)

How many persona fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 2! One persona 4 fan to put it in and 1 persona 3 fan to complain it's not dark enough

"Please let this game die guys" Persona 4 Golden on PC: *allow me to introduce myself*

P3 Social Links: Romance P4 Social Links: Therapy

I lost an entire summer playing this game. I only took breaks for meals and going to the gym. I played it so often that I began to dream about Persona. Zero regrets.

>"how old is Rise again" >thirsts over Kanji, who is the same age

0:55 “Please let this game die guys.” *A few years later* *Buns looks on steam* Buns: FU-

Yo if anyone's gonna play p4 (golden at least, I'm not sure if it's in the original) go back to the heaven dungeon after you beat the main boss. Go back, beat the new boss, and by the exit you can pick up an item. *PLEASE* GET THIS ITEM. It's an accessory you can put on anyone and it takes all move they can do and halfs the sp needed; makes anyone you put it on really op, ecsepcially Naoto. Good luck yalls

"You need to sit through a 3 hour prologue" Laughs in kingdom hearts 2

9:18 "MANIPULATE YOUR FRIENDS TO MAKE YOURSELF MORE POWERFUL!" This is needed to be captured.

"The only reason people bought a PS Vita" That one hit a bit too close to home XD

I literally just started playing golden just a couple of weeks ago, and can already say that eating glass is a good way to describe Marie's social link.

omg. everyone knows theres only one true waifu...its Kanji

"probably 20 hours to beat good luck" It took me 100 hours to finish the first playthrough...

People are gonna need this now more than ever

>grinding in an smt game >grinding in a persona game >grinding in *persona 4 golden* what

"Persona 4 is the only reason people buy a ps vita" Que Monokuma laugh

" Please let this game dies " And now p4 is coming to PC Another waifu war incoming boys

I... have been looking for you for my entire life...

Buns: "Please let this game die guys" Atlus: "You mean release it on steam?"

"That is, if we ever get it!" *Chuckles in Persona 5 Royal*

My experience with the Vita: Came for P4G, stayed for greatness. Seriously the vita has a great library if you're weeb trash

I wish I could score Naoto.

"We lost a lot of good people in the Waifu Wars... Please let this game die, guys" *SEVEN MINUTES (ish) LATER* "RISE IS BEST GURL!" BUNS LOGIC.

When you chose to date all the waifu's and Valentine's day comes around

Rise is an odd way to say Naoto #TeamNaoto #TheWarNeverEnded

“Rise is best girl.” That’s a funny way of saying “Naoto”

step 1: fuse yoshitsune step 2: that's it you've won the game

Persona 4 “never ends” and should be called ““This isn’t even my final form” The Game” Then what do you call Persona 5?

"The fox can give you SP if you give him da moneys." ALL YO YENS YIP YIP YAP

My party was just all the dudes and it worked out great. Teddie = Bufu + Healing Kanji = Zio + Physical Yousuke = Garu + ALWAYS MISSING WHEN IT COUNTS -uh, I mean - debuffs (or buffs I don't remember lol) Also, Rise IS best waifu.

Who's here because P4G on Steam

Since I'm assuming there will be an influx of people to this video after it was re-released on Steam, here's some tips I'd give to people surfing the comments. 1. Gold Hands are amazing. They give PLENTY of money and experience, often leveling up party members more than 1 level on defeat. The thing is... they resist everything. Your only real option is Almighty attacks. This doesn't necessarily mean you need Megido spells, though. All-Out Attacks also do the job, but make sure you have a plan for them, meaning either crits or Megido spells. 2. If you really want to break the game in half, fuse Kaiwan during a day with "skill change". You are hoping that Tetrakarn gets changed into something else, because Tetrakarn can change into absolutely amazing skills like Spell Master or Victory Cry. 3. The damage on skills is kind of wonky, but just know that the game takes the square root of the power listed for a skill (if you go by the wiki). That means that multihits get a substantial advantage over single-hit skills. There are definitely exceptions (the big 3 physical skills, being Brave Blade, God's Hand, and Primal Force, are stronger than the multihits), but generally more hits>higher power. 4. Follow up to 3: Blade of Fury is absolutely ridiculous. From the time you an get it (low 40's, from Okuninushi or Hanuman), it is the strongest physical attack you get, against a single or multiple targets, until you get Brave Blade/God's Hand/Primal Force for single target or until you get Hassou Tobi or Pralaya for multi target. That's insane. It's only slightly weaker than Agneyastra in exchange for higher accuracy and less HP cost. Use it. It's minimum damage is literally the same as Vorpal Blade's damage 5. To illuminate why Black Frost is considered so good: it has no weaknesses and it gets Agidyne, Fire Amp, and Mind Charge. Wile you likely have had Mind Charge for quite a while now (Jack Frost learns it), Black Frost learns Agidyne rather early and Fire Amp EXTREMELY early. Unless you get lucky with Magician cards in shuffle time, Fire Amp will be your only Amp for quite a while. 6. I recommend, if possible, doing each dungeon in a single day. You shouldn't waste time that can be spent towards confidants, social stats, or bike skills. 7. Speaking of bike skills, only a few are really worth the effort. Imo, the good ones are Chie rank 5 (Bufudyne), Yukiko rank 5 (Mind Charge), Teddie rank 5 (Evade Phys), Naoto ranks 1, 2, 4, and 5 (Bufudyne, Ziodyne, Myriad Arrows, and Angelic Grace, in that order), and all the Rise ones. Of those, I'd recommend only really going for Yukiko (all 5), Naoto ranks 1 and 2, and Rise. Rise's are just always good, Naoto's first 2 give her access to all the elements (she learns Mahamaon, Mamudoon, Agidyne, Garudyne, and Megidolaon naturally), and Yukiko's increases her damage substantially. Teddie has too many skill slots to really worry about Evade Physical in my opinion, and, while I'd probably use Bufudyne in the "ideal" Chie build, I'm not sure it's important enough for 5 bike rides. She'll suck at magic regardless. 8. Hang out with your Social Links, but not all of them are super important. The good ones are any party members, Adachi, Marie, and the Fox at the shrine. You might as well do Margaret's also, because it doesn't take time (it destroys your money, though), but the others are less important. 9. For early game bosses, I highly recommend using Yosuke's Sukukaja on party members whose weaknesses will be targeted. That means Yosuke himself on Shadow Chie (though this fight is easy anyway), Chie against Shadow Yukiko, and Yosuke again against Shadoe Kanji. The others are avoidable (just have Yukiko guard when Shadoe Teddie mind charges and you'll be fine), but for those, Sukukaja is nice. Alternatively, you can get a Wall spell and use it on them, but I prefer using MC for Rakunda and damage.

Still that one guy who likes the dancing game. Its fun if you like the soundtrack.

M for Mmmhmmmm

I just now realized that the colors on the glasses and the character’s main colors make up the TV error screen Coincidence? I think not.

>fusing Personas is ultra-important *beat Persona 4 Golden using only Izanagi and skill cards on my first run* *sweats*

Saying someone's waifu sucks is like telling them their religion wrong...

Years later, and I still watch this every 10 hours on every playthrough of Persona 4 Golden. Currently playing on Steam Deck! Feels like I'm back on my old PS Vita. Such nostalgia. Anyway, thank you for making such a beautiful, entertaining guide chock full of useful advice. Can't wait until you finish your P5Royal playthrough, and fingers crossed it results in another great vid!

2020 Can confirm this game will never die

Sometimes I come back to this video just to see the wrestling bit with Yu's face again. I love it.

Game theory: how ‘funky student’ is an alternate universe version of ‘Mirror B’

i barely survived the waifu wars. battered and broken, the S.S. Chie somehow made it back to port.

I got advice for everyone: don't eat mystery food X or let any of the girls cook

This video might become relevant pretty soon. Persona 4 Golden might come to pc.

Hmm... I can hear rattling. I wonder what happens if I open this chest... A couple seconds later.... OHGODHELPWHYDIDN'TILISTEN?????

My Opinions: Persona 3 Waifu - Fuuka Persona 4 Waifu - Any of the main party girls. Or Guys, actually. UPDATE: Persona 5 Waifu - Once again, any of the main party is cool by me but if I had to choose one (pretending for a sec that I was actually straight)- Makoto. Still wish the games let you be gay but, eh, cultural differences I guess...

"Please let this game die" Atlus and 20k people at launch: No

Kanji is the #bestwaifu Naoto is also the #nextbestwaifu

Is this Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable?

Bun: Rise is best girl. Me, a Chie/Naoto fan: Well this can’t get too bad can i- Other girl fans: NOW LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SH-

I can confirm that Black Frost is the best persona. Make him in SMT 3 Nocturne, Buns.

Naoto actually is hot.

I'm probably gonna get some flak for this, but (I kinda like Persona 4's cast more than 5's). Aside from Futaba because shes an angelic cinnamon roll who must be saved at all costs.

When this game first came out on PC I never played a persona game but I was drawn in by the art style and I was immediately hooked on everything. When the game was over I felt a little empty inside. Would love to wipe my memory and replay this again.

Everyday is great at*tears* yyyour *sniff* Juu...juu...juu

2:53 - “People are DYING, GUYS!” Fave quote.

Kanji will always be best girl in my heart

Who else is rewatching this for the steam release?

remeber: “there’s no best girl: just do harem route” actually: akechi, kanji and junpei are kinda hot

NAOTO IS BEST ROMANTIC INTEREST AND YOU KNOW IT!

Who’s here in 2020 ready for the pc port

I just started playing the steam version for the first time. I have never been much of a console gamer so this is my introduction the series. Its fun so far. The time management idea and knowing I can miss things is kind of stressful though. It would be nice if I had an unlimited amount of time to grind levels and do my own thing but I guess you don't.

Oh come on guys, don't kid yourselves. Adachi is best waifu

YEAH RISE IS BEST GIRL

Who's here after the release on modern consoles

We all know that Naoto is the true best girl. (Even though I support the idea that Yu, Rise and Naoto are a threesome).

This is my first time here on your channel... and... WOW. I'm already a huge fan. Laughed waaaaayyy too hard on your videos. Thanks! Keep up the good job, you're awesome! Kuddos from Brazil.

Anyone came back here once Persona 4 Golden got released on Steam?

Re watching this after the switch re boot I must say I’ve never seen someone do commentary this fun🔥 you are an icon⭐️

It's not the ONLY reason I bought a Vita. But it is the biggest one.

"Rise is Best Girl" Me: THANK YOU!!!

Me: Coming to Persona 4 from Persona 5 after GF recommended it and got mad for not playing it. Buns: Adachi the cabbage man. Me: ...Ada *CHI* vs Ake *CHI* ...I don't even need to play the game to understand...the cabbage vs pancake wars must still be intense to this day-

Buns: “Please let this game die, guys” Altus: ports game to Switch Buns: “Oh, MOTHER-“

Whoes here after the steam release lol

WHY DO TOU HATE YUKIKO SO MUCH BY THE WAY I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Turn Shadow off in the settings. Boom

Guys let’s all be honest here, Naoto is best boy.

I honestly found myself using Naoto a lot in the original game. Once you get an accessory that cuts SP costs, her insta-death spells become amazing random-battle sweeper moves and she becomes enough of a spellcasting powerhouse with Almighty skills to be useful against bosses. Wound up using her almost non-stop for the latter portions of the game.

>hates Yukiko >"Rise best girl" Wow, I didn't know they let such garbage taste on RU-vid.

Make sure to level up by fighting Shadows. I made the mistake of trying to spread my time out evenly and that was a huge mistake. If you fail to rescue a person, the game will send you back to the previous week and you will lose any progress you made during the week you're supposed to save someone. Trust me, it's awful and much easier to do than most people think. Just become OP by fighting Shadows and do the rest when you can. It will make the game a lot more enjoyable.

Because of you I became a fan of the Persona series! P4G is the first one I’ve played and it was amazing. Now I’m in the middle of P5 and I’m considering to get P3! 😃

PC lets go

Rumored release on Steam on June 13th. Something my wallet really really really didn't want right now. BUT IT WILL SUFFER ALL THE SAME.

8:13 YASS! buns is a woman of culture i see

I played this game twice just for a stupid book I didn't get on my first playthrough. When I finally got that platinum trophy, I felt so happy but a little sad because I love these characters

I’m a Nintendo purist who got a PS4 when Joker was added in smash. I watched the “Persona 5 for Beginners” video which eventually led me into a rabbit hole of the channel and saw the other Persona videos for Beginners. I told myself I wouldn’t watch them until I had someway to access the other games. I’ve literally waited since I passed Persona 5 sometime in 2018 to watch this damn video. I did start playing Persona 4 Golden earlier today (2023) but this has been in my “watch later” playlist for literal years. I love this series so much and it’s actually super helpful and super fun to watch I can’t wait to see you make more and (hopefully) I won’t have to wait years to see old videos.

3:15 whats so bad about yukiko tho

2:07 Damn, and I thought Kingdom hearts 2 had a long prolong...

With the switch port, this video popped on my for you page for the first time in 5 years

EVERYONE KNOWS CHIE IS BEST GRL FRIKKIN FITE ME BUNS!!

#YukikoDefenseSquad

Currently playing this game on the xbox one and your persona for beginners vids are a staple while I play.

Oh c'mon, Dancing All night is actually pretty good, give it a chance. Also Rise is 15. The age of consent is 14 in Japan. Just sayin'.

i bet you i'm the only who's watching this using the psvita if i'm not the only one then i owe you 2 likes

P3 Harem: Whoo, that was close. Thanks, guys - couldn't wish for better bros. P4 Harem: MY SOUL IS BURNING

_dont_ listen to the bit where she says to go home from the dungeon. By all means go back to old dungeons for items. Grind as much as you want when you’re in the dungeon, but if at all possible _finish the dungeon in one trip_ Going into the tv wipes out your whole day *and* night. Every day you spend beyond the first in the tv is incredibly wasteful If it happens, it happens. One or two days over the course of the game only matter for a perfect run, but it’s not something you want to choose to do as a strategy.

the waifu wars... oh, the terror...

Nobody judge me lol, I just started playing p4 last today. I loved p5 (which was my first) and today I was bored so I thought I’d try this. Looooove this one, granted I will say…that first 4 hours of dialogue…was real….I started very engaged…then fell asleep then was literally watching RU-vid while clicking “x” lmao I promise 80% of the dialogue is unnecessary lol. I wouldn’t mind it if there was a prepay button for dialogue

Wait... Waitwaitwaitwaitwait... Fsteak wasn't an edit? That's actually in the real game? I... Hiimdaisy. Hiimdaisy, come back to us and see what you have done to the series. You have contributed to the universe.
