Unironically this game changed my life. Played it when I was 16. I stopped being a cringy loner with no friends in high school and actually started studying, working out and spending time with people like a social link. Literally just acted like Yu and became a chad. Thanks persona 4!
Chad Narukami would be proud of you
It's so lovely how games can help us ...
FOR REAL! THIS GAME HELPS ME
To become a chad, you must be taught by a chad. You were taught by Yu.
So you have your own persona or not?
love the golden opening, but man this opening is just so insanely good
Which is why I’m glad they included this one in Golden as well.
Agree.
@@Swampert384 where?

@@FF-tp7qs oh, this. I never uderstood wth it was XD
I remember walking into a game stop and picking this game up cause it looked interesting, all with no prior knowledge of the games that came before it or anything from Atlus (aside from Snow boarding kids on the N64...) This game really changed my out look on life and got me through the hardest times growing up, Persona 4 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
I feel you, man! Same here I bought the game because of the same reason and it changed my view on many things in life.
It made me improve my English as well as a non native speaker.
For me this is THE most important game in my life
I haven't even finished it yet and it holds a special place in my heart.
I bought this game after 5 ( yes I’m one of those people) but I’m glad it introduced me to these games personally I think 4 had the best characters I just finished persona 3 two days ago so persona 3 has the best story and persona 5 has the best atmosphere music etc. I used to be very suicidal and funnily enough persona series helped me have a different look on life each game I took something to fix my own life with it. I owe it so much I’m still a teenager but I am living the best life right now and I am successful currently. I didn’t know what I was getting into when I played these games.
I saw joker in smash and thought he looked sick and so but persona 5 wasn’t on pc so I bought persona 4 and holy shit was it amazing to play
The gold think about persona games is that you can pick anyone you want WITHOUT losing much. I stopped persona 3 because it was kinda boring (the story was amazing but the mechanics kinda meh) and then skipped to persona 4 which was MUCH MUCH more developed (and take in mind Im talking about p4 for PS2 ) persona golden is obviously much much better but for PS2 standards persona 4 is fucking great
I love how this opening is just a perfect encapsulation of the 2000s aesthetic. Even the little silhouette part in the beginning very reminiscent of the iPod Daft Punk ads of that time.
たしかに！！iPodの広告はこんな感じでしたね〜！
懐かしいな
You mean the silhouette ads? Those are my favorite ads ever!
yeah strong 2000s
u2, not daft punk

This opening is such a banger, no one can even describe how stoked I was listening to this the first time I played Persona 4 on the PlayStation 2.
But, but, but, You just described it there.
@@ssabykoops I mean, they described the opening…but not the level of ‘stokeness’ they carried?? Lol
Same here. It felt downright magical since it was my first Persona-game and back then I had never seen anything like it before.
100%
@@ssabykoops Do you mean “Yu”?
That shot of Dojima and Adachi in the rain is just so cool to me, especially since it doesn't really come up in game either
SAME
Isnt it near the beginning of the game
it's literally at the beginning of the game doofus xD
@@MisterRegretti the sus with a sec had a perf al.
@@SomethingWithZSHUT UP ADACHI.
I really like this opening. The music is catchy, and the visuals complement the themes of the game nicely.
It's not like the golden opening where it just spams the word "Truth" at you like an angry paranoid spouse.
"Pursing My True Self" easily is one of- if not the best opening in Persona.
Don't get carried away, it's one of the best.
Nothing beats Burn my Bread
Eh, I personally preferred Dream Of Butterfly, the EP PSP opening, Soul Phrase, Shadow World and Colors Flying High
Then again, all Persona openings are top tier
Edit : Wrote "Moon" instead of "Soul" lol
@@wordofmouth7679 *Gotta burn that bread....*
@@wordofmouth7679 i see a man of culture
Honestly prefer this opening to Golden. In most cases I think the vanilla openings for the mainline entries do a much better job at embodying the tone, narrative and aesthetics of the respective games compared to the openings on the re-releases.
Yep. Usually the first openings are basically introducing you to the world through artistic symbolism, while the openings of the extended versions are more of a 'welcome back you already know what's going on' than anything else.
@@Gxmwp yep. hit the nail on the head. The original opening are usually your first experience with the game too. I think in every example i prefer the originals. i can enjoy the new ones though too.
I like more the P5 vanilla opening than Royal as well
100% agree, absolutely hate the FES opening in all honesty but I love both Soul Phrase and Burn My Dread "equally" (probably, still not sure).
For the most part I agree. I’d say the only exceptions are Soul Phase and and EP Portable’s opening
Anyone else think this is way better then the golden intro
A lot of people do, yes.
Way better, shadow world is the cheesiest intro next to royals.
i think theyre both great
I thought so once now I prefer shadow world
*than
At a young age Persona 4 helped me accept the parts of myself I hated. I was able to overcome all of my self loathing and grow to be a better person because of it.
I Remember nearly giving up on Yukiko's castle because i didn't know Gohom's let you return to the floor you used it at. After that it became my favourite game. Listening to this brings me back to the days I first played it. Incredible game. Just mind blowing.
Goho-Ms do what now.
Did you also awaken a kick ass persona
@@applesaucw7041 maybe
@@cephi_sui THIS WAS MY EXACT REACTION JUST NOW
@@cephi_sui Get it? "Go home" it lets you start back at whatever floor you used it on next time you use the entrance.
A certified hood classic
Played this game for the first time 2 years ago. Might play it again since I have a CRT which I got last year so it might hit different lol
Just be careful not to fall in
Yeah just don't touch the TV
@@kett912 you deserve love and a good day
My first persona game 2 years ago too
@@kett912 that's the fun part though
1:05 RIP rise's knee
I love how both this and the Golden opening perfectly capture the tone of the game just in different ways
True crime and fun time with your friends
As much as I like Golden's opening, this opening best fits the theme of the game. Golden was just a bit too cheery for me. This more serious looking yet so simple. I really liked the sequence at 0:57 and 1:08 as it more or less reflects how we meet the majority of our team-mates and our victims/would be victims - through the lens of cameras (like Yukiko's interview or Rise as Risette) and TVs.
Am i the only one that the Golden version fit for P5D or PQ.
Well keep in mind that the Golden intro is kinda of like a welcome back to the returning players who have already played the original game & know how things would play out in the story sorta like how in P5R they show everyone's Personas, Phantom Thief Outfits & have Akechi in the intro since they know people who already played P5 knew everything that is on screen so their isn't really a point in hiding it. But to a new player who never played the game & just heard from their friends or through the Internet to "Buy Persona 4 Golden/Persona 5 Royal that's the best way to play it" this seems like just spoilers & the intro just being corny.
@@ricniks4619 to be honest I feel like the persona 5 royal and persona 4 golden intro is just fan service and not very memorable
@@KousakaHonoka12 Because they aren't really meant to be memorable they are welcome backs to the players who already played the original game & got the remaster to experience the game again with the new content.
@@ricniks4619 it just feels like over done fan service compared to the original
I think I like this one a lot more than the golden one, it feels a bit darker and mysterious, really feels like a 2000s murder mystery
Whenever I start Golden I skip the intro and go to TV Listings to watch the original intro
This takes me waaaay back, so much nostalgia. Running home, working on assignment for school so fast just so i could play this game. So much nostalgia. Master piece.
2008,its been a long time since Persona 4 released, but it still remain in every P4 fans heart to this day, like a bond through the strength of heart
This opening, both song and visuals, is such a damn good introduction to what Persona 4 is. We see a little bit of who each of the characters are, but on the surface. For a game where the main theme is literally to pursue your true self, it's such a good way to establish everyone
One of my favorite intros, definitely in my top 3
Persona 4 has NO bad openings. Seriously, in all of the mainline games and spinoffs, the openings rocked
Started with 5. Cherishes 3 with all my heart. Just started this one, and I know it will be a great time
Have fun!
Same sequence I played the games, I just started p4 too.
How was it???
このどこか切ないメロディが絶妙だなぁ…
サビの「Life goes on with or without you」って所もやけに現実的で冷たい意見だけど、「それでも繋がりを大切にしよう」って言う希望と言うよりも願いと言う感じのメッセージが込められてる気がする
Persona 3 intro: you will die
Persona 4 intro: you will groove
This opening really give the mystery vibe, I never skip it once when playing ps2 P4 it’s just too good, at the front it reveal a bit of your teammate and before the end it’s just give you how they act in their daily life which represent them in tv and in real life both way
And Chie smile in elevator get me everytime
The Golden intro stays in my head longer but this one certainly hits my nostalgia in the way Golden can't do.
0:24 that transitions are extremely good
This is my favourite game of all time, i played it with the Vita Golden version but i love this intro too and the music is still FIRE, the characters, story and music just had me so invested, the characters felt like they could be my real friends, it's kind of hard to describe but hopefully you understand why i love it and why it's my favourite game of all time :)
Don’t know why but I see you absolutely everywhere
Agreed. Not sure it’s my #1, but it’s definitely in my top ten of all time.
@@exaltedb guess i'm just everywhere haha
“Favorite game of all time.”
*No mention of the GAMEplay for the GAME.
Bruh.
@@imjustalittleqwerty bro it's not a big deal
For a second my heart leapt in joy, then I remembered it’s just the damn opening. Bro Atlus, I will give you money for console ports of the old games. GOSH DARN TAKE IT! FRICKING DAMN!
BOOM 3 MONTHS LATER AND I FINALLY GET MY WISH!
I said this in another comment but it feels like Atlus really wants ports to fail and are embarrassed when they do well lol
I hope it never gets a switch port because it's too funny to see people like you this frustrated.
thats atlus for ya. people tell them what we want, but they are still confused lol. its funny at this point. at least they make amazing games.
@@notbrandon721 fr
no hate but seeing someone unironically type out "gosh darn take it fricking damn" is pretty funny
I love that this song isint some bombastic anime opening.
Its more professional and formal, as it tackles deep serious topics in an engaging way. I still wouldint play it as its straight up not my type, but i appreciate Persona games.
高画質！ありがとうございます...！
ペルソナ4好きだからめちゃくちゃうれしい
A fucking masterpiece. This opening got me into the series
This trash game is not a masterpiece. It is just a happy anime trope filled game with the worst cast of the franchise

You’re all right!
Literally in the top 3 greatest video games I’ve played of all time. All the memories, emotions, fights, everything just came back to me with this one video. Persona 4 golden was an even bigger treat as well
Played P4g for the first time on steam last year and this is the first time hearing this opening and i cant believe the feeling of nostalgia that im feeling even tho this is the first time im listening to it. this song captures the p4g vibe spot on, crazy
goddamn i need p3 and p5 on pc so bad
I was so disappointed with the new opening in Golden that I uninstalled it inmediately and I'm not going to touch it ever again.
I love Persona 4, I love this original opening, I feel like the new opening is some kind of "betrayal" haha. I know it sounds exagerated and like I'm taking it too seriously, but I love the game so much that changing something important from it really disappointed me and made me hate Golden.
Dude, I don't like the Golden opening either but you could've just installed a mod. 😭
And you're right; you did take it too seriously lmao.
@@pelgervampireduck I get It, but, all this just bc the intro? Golden gameplay is just like the original game experience plus a lot of new content, events, animated scenes and even new social links, dungeons and personas
Don't miss It just because you didn't like the intro
@@henryrick I know it sounds silly, but i love the original intro so much, and I don't like change. One day I'll give it another shot, I can mute the new intro and pretend it's playing the original song.
This game is so special to me, I hope they port it to modern consoles soon so more people can experience it
I mean it is on steam/steamdeck
@@TheRawyan Steam deck sadly doesn't support Persona 4 so you might have to wait a lil while for it to be playable on the go
@@thezeraora5439 no it does now
PC is as modern as you can get
Persona 4 Golden, at least.
Man this is such an awesome opener to an awesome game.
Much better then 4G's opening cinematic!
I've only been playing Persona for bout a week now and I'm already in love with this series!
yes, the ending and opening is every epic for me
I remember 12 years ago when i am still in high school, the game shopkeeper recomended me to buy this game, but for the first time i dont buy it because not interested, but after the second visit the shopkeeper recomended me again this game, she tell me this game will blowing your mind. And heck yeah, thanks to her i enjoying playing this master piece
I still own my original copy of Persona 4 with the soundtrack disc on Playstation 2 after 14 years. My God how time flies.
I have that plus the PS3 download version as well as Golden for PS Vita and the original Anime on Blu-ray. Persona 4 just never gets old for me no matter how many different ways I experience it.
wait 2008 was 14 years ago? oh god..

15 years later and it's still a banger! This soundtrack aged beautifully.
As akahiko would say: "I've been waiting for this."
It’s mind boggling how amazing this song is. Like I can’t even describe the feeling it gives me
This opening stirs up so many fond memories within me
I read fond as food at first lmao 💀
I’m never going to forget the impact that this game has on my life. It’s one of my favorite games ever, and I’m so happy it exists. Atlas did an amazing job on it.

@@dantecrailman8861 HOO BOY
thank ya
hope it is this one longer
Never played this on PS2 or even knew about the Persona series till recently but boy does this feel nostalgic!
15 years since its launch, but still a style that doesn't fade
On the adachi and Dojima shot, i like how both was focused then adachi started to blur out. I felt that meant something .
Best intro oat
This opening literally scream “ end of the 2000 begging of the 2010”
Definitely the best opening for the best version of Persona 4. The original was the game that got me into persona as a whole, and Golden will never be as good in my eyes.
Out of curiosity, why will Golden not be as good for you. OG P4 was also my introduction to Persona and SMT, so the PS2 release will always have a special place for me, but I never viewed Golden as inferior.
One of the W's from the original P4 along with Chie's VA.
Yeah, P4G chie voice is annoying..
Chie sounded like a chain smoker in the original game
@@smileytlj23 you know girls can have lower pitched voices?
@@NameEntry and Chie is a bubbly, cheerful teenager. Not a dour, Dr.Girlfriend type. Her Golden voice is more like the original Japanese. Chie is annoying but she's also energetic and youthful. She shouldn't sound like someone in the midst of a mis life crisis
@@NameEntry whether or not girls can have lower pitched voices is irrelevant to her characterization

I was a sucker for anime intros in video games. They were rare at the time, this game was released. It was very reason I purchased this game, back then, to play and see all the other cutscenes in the game.
Anyone else feels a strange feeling of nostalgia when watching and lsitening to this, despite not having played it when it came out? It's weirdly comforting
sign of masterpiece
WE ARE LIVING OUR LIIIIIIIIIVES
AROUND WITH SO MUCH INFORMATIOOOON
Used to question why everyone loves persona 4 so much, I played 3 and skipped 4, I would ask “why do people like it? It’s to bright and cheerful” and then I played it finally and beat it 2 days ago and my my my have my impressions changed, persona 4 has to be THEE funniest game I’ve ever played, it’s humor is what stole my heart along with the fact that the characters all have personality, I also loved how even though the protags personality is up to your choice they still made Yuu ease towards the funny side of life, drawbacks though are that the dungeons are both huge and short, coming from persona 3 and 5 I appreciated the small but long dungeon crawling, I generally do all my dungeon crawling and grinding in one sitting so I can focus on social links but the dungeons in 4 had huge floors but the dungeons were short, that’s my only drawback, this game stole my heart and it’s on my recommended to play list for anyone
Remember guys, never beg unworthy people to stay with you because "life goes on with or without them"
The calender and clock rolling forward is such a cool touch
I like the back ground text also 0:23 isn’t the velvet room and 0:26 - 0:40 are good ways to show the characters off and then 0:58 - 1:09 are nice ways to show the characters on different screens I also like the song and the visuals look amazing
The sister complex kingpin of steel: YU NARUKAMI!
Gawddamn it, P4U 🤣🤣🤣
Do video game openings have award shows? because this one would win at least a few.
I was amazed to learn this was a ps2 game
I only recently got into persona, but I just know if I played this as a kid my life would have been completely different
I grew up with a GameCube, not a ps2
But I truly wonder how I would have ended up if I had the other
I first play this game in Jr. High, stop because the creepy bgm, that dream place surrounding by fog and that siluet figure in the fog but then I give it another shot and I love this game until now
I love this opening and I’m once again being reminded I still haven’t beat Golden yet. I need to get around to doing that eventually.
Best intro you can't change my mind
this was my childhood i played it with my sister before she died and whenever i died she would play the game
Rip to ur sister, I hope u doing well now, she must be proud of u ❤
@@fuji.21 thanks man she means a lot to me
I love both openings of Persona 4, for different reasons. The original opening puts more of the focus on the mystery side of Persona 4, while the Golden opening focuses on the games more lighthearted side. It's almost like the OG opening was for the TV world, and the Golden opening is for the human world.
Make sense too since we do enter the tv world at the beginning
Oh.. 2008, We were so happy and didn't knew it.
I will always love this theme over Golden’s. While I only got it in late 2019 for the PS2 after finishing P5, I really got hooked with the intro, followed by the story and characters more than in 5.
Wait, I understand the preference of the original opening, but you played the original version of the game on the PS2? My condolences to you, my friend. 🙏
@@Cinder36 I played it and beat it in nearly 90 hours, though it was during the covid lockdown when I really took the time to finish it. I enjoyed my time with it and didn’t play Golden until it came out on steam that June.
@@ramiking745 I see. What are your personal thoughts between the two games? I've just heard Golden is better in pretty much every way, but it'd be interesting to hear your takes then.
@@Cinder36 I’d definitely start with Golden if you’re new to the game. I only went with the original PS2 release as I didn’t have a Vita at the time. Nowadays, you can find Golden on most platforms. Golden has most of what P4 had and them some (quick save, higher frame rate, an extra dungeon).
@Jonathan Ramirez Gotcha! I've already beaten Golden, but I was unaware of what really changed between the two versions until now.
This game helped me in so many aspects of my life. I first played it on the ps vita back during a time where I was at peak happiness--I'd just moved to a nice house and things were looking up. The game soaked-up all that happiness and cemented it as a source of good vibes. Whenever I listen to the soundtrack, it brings back fond memories that genuinely make me happy no matter what mood I'm in. Once it released on pc, i played that every night while eating a bowl of ramen. It's the little things that make this game the most important game in my life. Throughout my tougher times in later years, it continued to help me get through depression and hopelessness. I think everyone should play this game.
I only recently realised Rise is doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Virgin Shadow World vs Chad Pursuing my True Self
when i played this on the ps3, i would watch this whole way through everytime i booted up the game
Ah, truly a flood of nostalgia hearing this!
Persona 3-5 openings are bangers
Best persona opening dont @ me
Very nostalgic even though I played it like 1 year before. One of my favourite cast from persona games.
video games can be a beautiful thing... i'm so thankful to have experienced this.
Best persona song tbh
This opening is so much better than Golden’s in my opinion. The song is better too
can't wait for the remake
Infinitely better than Golden in every way.
Life goes on with or without you ! Who knew the game I grew up with was gonna make me make the decisions I make today
My first persona was persona 5, I had no knowledge or way to play the others until recently. My favorite rpg now is persona 4
replacing the intro with this one is a must-have mod for P4G on PC
Im really glad Persona will come to Xbox and PC. Im so happy because more people will play this awesome game.
but sadly the version ported is Golden, not this one. Golden has a new horrible intro.
@@pelgervampireduck I really, really hope that golden lets you change the intro to this one. The golden intro is garbage
When I got P4 on PC, I instantly swiped out the new intro with the original. I just prefer it.
Omg you remastered the og opening bless ATLUS
Years later,Still one of the best openings in the Persona franchise.
