Persona 4 just never clicked with me in the same way that Persona 3 and Persona 5 did, despite having a soundtrack every bit as good as Persona 3's. Persona 4, as I've been loud about in the past, is my least loved.

For me, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable-leaning weirdo, Persona 3 FES and the femme-led Persona 3 Portable are mutually tied for my favorite. For most people, that means 2012's PlayStation Vita-bound Persona 4 Golden or 2017's Persona 5 have stolen their hearts. I have said this many times, and I'll say it again: everyone's first Persona game is their favorite. It is very much an upscaled PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Vita game, but it looks much cleaner than it ever has before. It is a port through and through-while the higher resolutions look nice, faces remain stagnant when they talk the animations are sometimes clunky. fine, but isn't optimal for any JRPG in my opinion) or a traditional gamepad. Players can even toggle text settings to Japanese, English, Korean, or Traditional Chinese, and they can play with either mouse and keyboard (which works. It also brings with it achievements, HD resolution with unlocked frame rates, a fuller 16:9 aspect ratio, and even support for higher resolutions.

The PC port doesn't solely introduce Japanese audio. Considering I've played through Persona 4 before though, I've stuck mostly with Japanese so far regardless just so I can have a different sort of experience. It's not the worst audio quality in the world, but toggling back and forth between English and Japanese, there is a definite noticeable difference in overall audio quality. It sounds a little bit tinny, as if Atlus couldn't find the true source file for the Japanese audio, and is compromising somehow. There is one hindrance that I've found with the Japanese audio option: It's not as crisp as the default English voice acting. I won't lie, I let my PC idle for probably a couple hours on Sunday in the midst of Inaba, just letting it play 'Heartbeat, Heartbreak' on quote-unquote 'accident.' Back at it again at the Velvet Room. The music remains the absolute best, of course.

And then for Teddie, I prefer neither, because I will always loathe Teddie forever. (For the record: I prefer Golden Chie to PlayStation 2 Chie.) For others, I'm finding Japanese is better. I find myself preferring the English voice actors for some characters, like Chie. It's been a fascinating new way to play Persona 4 Golden over the past week. Now we can be annoyed with Teddie in Japanese too! So when the most surprising of emails landed in my inbox-Persona 4 Golden is leaving its PlayStation Vita prison and coming to PC(!)-one buried feature about the 2020 port stood out to me: 'Audio: Japanese and English.' Yes, fellow small town detectives, thanks to the new Persona 4 Golden release on PC via Steam today, at last we don't have to suffer through how annoying Teddie is in English.

Persona 5, despite having a separate download for Japanese voice acting for the first time in the series via DLC, received a tremendous amount of flack for its dub script, with some calling it out for being the clunkiest of all. The dub script still had the English-speaking cast speaking with Japanese honorifics, leading to sometimes stilted or awkward-sounding conversations.

Before Persona 5, modern Persona games were only playable with English voice acting.
