      I loved my high school years. I peak during my Junior year but Senior Year was great. I admit that I was a bully and quite arrogant. I played the PS2 version in college right before I got kicked out but I finished the Vita version a few years later and made me remember my high school memories. Good times.

      +Jaidon White I remember that February month when I bought this game. Once it was done downloading off PSN, that intro captivated me. It captivated me so much that I stopped talking to my friend on my phone. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. After the intro ended, I knew I was in for a good time. I do not regret the 60+ hrs of gameplay on this game.

      That's actually a pretty smart move on their part. They ingratiate that part of the song to us with A Corner of Memories, letting us listen to the leitmotif when we first booted up the game (first impression), then each time we came back to load our save (which would be A LOT of times, I remember clocking in at 200+ hours in my first playthrough alone). Then we hopefully get our sweet ending, start getting emotional during the credits, probably crying like a bitch, when suddenly... 03:40 Boom.

    I had issues with Persona 3 and 5. It felt like every character had a great relationship with the mc, but not with each other. Persona 4’s Investigation Team feels like a real group of friends, cracking jokes with each other and being open about their feelings. That’s what elevates this game to being my favorite in the series.

    Alright here's for probably the 500th "this game changed me" comment you'll probably see in this section.
    I was in a really dull, dark part of my life when I got into Persona. I was a hopeless shut-in. I was uncomfortable when it was only me and one other person in a room, and the most I could add into conversations was by becoming nothing more than an echo chamber. I preferred a life alone, away from everyone else. It sucked. I didn't trust anyone. Everytime I would mess something up it would just add to a tower of worries in my head until it would all eventually burst. At one point I honestly could not see a reason to keep going in this dull, boring world.
    But this game. This amazing fucking game said "yeah no open your eyes and take a better look at the world around you". At first I was using Persona to escape what I considered a miserable existence. Instead, it told me to give it another shot. This game, with it's story and characters, taught me that something new can arise everyday. Before I knew it, I had begun to want to go outside. I _wanted_ to see my friends, go places, and pull some crazy shit together to laugh about it later on.
    Most importantly it showed me, and this is gonna sound really fucking corny, that you do not need to be perfect for people to like you. All the troubles that I had in my head were nothing more than a stupid reality my mind created. I could appreciate people, and I realized I had people that appreciated me. In a way, this game helped _me_ face my true self and reach for the truth.
    That was some 2(?) years ago. Since then, I've made plenty more friends, gone out every other day, even trust someone so much that I fell for them. I'm glad I got to play Persona 4, that I got to see what reason there was to live. I hope anyone who faces a similar situation as me is able to reach a similar conclusion. Anyways, it's midnight, I've had this song on loop for like the half hour it took to write this, and I've had tears in my eyes the entire time. *Bless* this game. Goodnight weebs

    I know nobody nobody cares but I just wanted to say that this song makes me cry every single time I listen to it. Lately I'v been going through crippling depression, and this game is the Last one I played before it for severily worse. My father does not care for me and does not believe me when I ask for help, claiming that all I need is going outside and nothing else. Even if I suffer from anxiety, rage attacks and mood changes. All' I'd like to do is to seek help, but it's completely negated and I'm desperate. My cognitive skills are deteriorating and my will to live is long gone. So thank you Atlus, for making one of the very few things that make me feel something in existence

I am not kidding when i tell you this game is genuinely like a book better. You feel like you yourself is the protagonist. I get bullied at school and when i play persona 4 golden i forget who i am and what im going through right now and become this absolute chad whos got a whole group of friends with him who enjoy life to the fullest.

    It has been about a year and a half since I completed this game. Since then, I have played other Persona games and come to really enjoy the series. I even plan to get into Shin Megami Tensei as a whole soon. Recently, a friend of mine beat Persona 5(which I did around when i beat P4), and I told him he should get Persona 4. He did, and I sat right next to him for the entire playthrough, and when the credits were rolling, I was sad that the story ended again, but also incredibly happy that my best friend was also able to have the same experience I had. It gave me a chance to reflect on my playthrough on Persona 4 Golden(he was playing PS2 version), and although it was interesting to see things such as version differences, watching him do the social links, combat, and dungeons really made me appreciate how great of a game it really is, and the fact that I was able to share this wonderful game with him increased my enjoyment of the game as well. I have beat Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5, and i'm currently working on Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I am soon getting Persona Q and Persona Q2, as well as Persona 3 FES, Persona 1(PSP version) Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and I just can't wait to finally learn what happens after Persona 4, and see The Answer in Persona 3 FES, and try the original(and actually beat it at some point). Persona is a series that truly fulfills you, a series that makes you feel real emotion, and a series that has changed the lives of many. Persona is the one thing I like that, no matter what other thing I'm currently enjoying, is always in the back of my mind. It is an unforgettable experience, one that changes your outlook on life, and teaches you an important lesson. Persona 3 teaches you to live your life to the fullest, to not deny the inevitable, and that a relationship is always worth it, no matter how much it will hurt when it ends. Persona 4 teaches you to always seek the truth, no matter how sweet of a lie there may be. Persona 5 teaches you to think for yourself and fight for what you believe in, that a higher power isn't always correct or just, and that you have a right to rebel when something truly unjust is taking place. Persona 2 teaches you to accept change, and that no matter how tough things get when you're older, you can persevere, and you have people to support you, and it also teaches you to use the past as a guide for the future, and not to deny it or be caught up on it, to move on and keep going. Each Persona game is a profound experience, and you will always take something away from them. I really wish i hadn't written this in the comments of a music video from 7 and a half years ago, but hearing the credits song just reminded me of how much I've grown to love the series and the emotions it stirs up when I think about my experiences with each one. Every time I hear Igor say "You were truly a remarkable guest", no matter which game it's in, I feel as though I have completed a long journey, one with many hardships, paths, and bonds, and I have reached that journey's end. So, to the person reading this, whether you are just listening to the video for the song, a casual Persona fan, or a grizzled Shin Megami Tensei veteran, just go and play Persona, any game, or think about a past journey with it. I believe I have learned lessons that I will remember my entire life from theses games, and I believe that every person can learn something from these games. I just can't think of a good way to express my thoughts any longer without repeating myself, so just remember this: Cherish your experience with this series, take its messages and themes to heart, and love your time with these experiences that are beyond gaming or storytelling.
    I can't believe I just wrote this at 1:00 am in the RUclips comments section, it's kind of disappointing. I didn't plan this, I just said what i thought.

That happiness is the melody, while the harmony is that lurking sadness.

    Christ, I don't think a single game has made me tear up at tracks more than P4, every time I return to Inaba and hear "Heartbeat, Heartbreak" I tear up, every time I hear "I'll Face Myself" I tear up. But this fucking song, is in an emotional league of it's own, not only is it then end of an adventure, it's the end of your first experience with the game, and the first play through of a game is a magical thing in of itself, as it's something you genuinely can never have again, once you've played it, you can't get the same feeling as the first time you experienced it again, which is the sad part of this song at least the first time you hear it. But the fact you had a game engage you and make you so invested and interested and gave you the experience you did, thats what's so great. Thus this song is not just a sad song, but also, a triumphant one, one that makes you reflect on the amazing game that you just played. Or you can just play NG+ for the rest of your life, that's always an option.

You'll look back and appreciate what you went through in the game, just as you would with real life. That's the beauty of it, the game is over but your life isn't.

    Persona 4 captures what it would have been like to be a teenager in 2008, something I’ll never get to experience but wanted to experience it so badly. Persona 4 gave me that opportunity. It gave me friends that I’ve never had before. I am like Yu in many ways. I am a leader in my own right. I truly can connect with him, I believe destiny has brought us to this crossroad. I feel much stronger mentally after playing, although emotionally weaker. I can always return to Inaba at any time to spend time with them, and this assured me that their journey will never end. I like to imagine that Yu ends up with whoever the player chooses at the end of persona 4. The difference between 2008 and now well, people still had personality then, they’re all just mindless robots now who stare and do whatever other people want them to. Yu and his crew would never stand for this, they seek justice and so do I. The tv world in this world is like a computer, when people sit in front of it they change. It’s like I have my own persona when I sit in front of one. We wield incredible power, just as Yu does in the shadow world. I love all the characters, and I’d save all of them even if I wasn’t their friend. If it meant justice, it would happen. Though I’d be much more protective of the girls of the group. I’d always want them to stand behind me so I could take a hit for them. Not that they’re not strong, but I was taught chivalry and that’s why I’d do it. I have the detective intuition, Dojima is like me as a grown up, Yu is like me as a young teen. This combined with the hero aspect, the social link aspect, and the fact it’s an older game where people have personality is what made this game a perfect game for me to relate to.
    Should I record gameplay of this and voice it over with my own dialogue a bit for Yu? What do you guys think? I only own a PS2 and the original game, and I’d need to do in June, but I could.

    Even though it's not the best, hell, none of the Persona games are a definitive best, they all have flaws. Each one does something better than the other, each one takes you to a different place, explores a different theme, tells a different story...
    But this one touched me the most.
    The music carried me through a confusing point of life.
    The characters were so damn lovable.
    The story was so gripping.
    I tracked down a PSVita, spent over $200 on it in 2019 just so I could play this game, and it gave me so much life. 7 years after its initial release, this game is still touching people and still changing lives and impacting people. I'll never not love it.
    And nothing will compare to the feeling of emptiness that followed me finishing it. It genuinely depressed me once it was over. I know it's stupid getting so attached to a game, but this one does it so well. People that understand understand.
    I miss Kanji most.

    This game is so special to me, it made me feel accepted as a human. I live in a post sovietic country surounded by mindless close minded people that judge you based on everything they think is wrong. All my life i never got a friend who i can actually talk to diverse conversation on different topics, changing ideeas or just understand eachother and this made me feel a lot as an outsider. I also suffer from Pure OCD, a condition in witch i have different themes of intrusive thoughts based on absurd things and as you can see people look at me as a madman if i try to explain it "just don't think bro" i'm also asexual and i never opened to anyone outside my familly who is thankfully a tad bit open minded, all of this made me to luck up in miselff and getting really lost in "what am i supposed to do" but then i found out about this game through a soundtrack on a guy's video and i can fully say this game changed my life. It made me feel accepted for who i am by the friends from the game and gave me the feeling of what is like to just enjoy your life. My favorite character was Kanji, i loved his ideea of what is like to be a man, to do what you enjoy and be pround about it even if others would find it weird, i understanded also his anger of not having a guiding figure to teach you the ropes of life and how to act, it gave me the feeling of a fater figure because i didn't had one myself, my dad was bussy working oversees when i was young and never teached me different stuff. Thank you Persona, i will always cheerish this series as the one that helped me go trough a crisis of understanding not only the world but myself, because in the end doing what makes you happy will keep you motivated to go trough this hell called modern society.

    I graduated from highschool just 6 days ago. It's mixed with a farewell school trip. I was still in Adachi dungeon at that point. And for the next 2 days since the graduation i was enjoying the trip. Sure, it was fun and all, but the feeling knowing it's the last time that me and my school friends will enjoy together is still lurking around. Im trying to brush off the sorrow that haunts me on that vacation time.
    And then it was over before i knew it. I have no business anymore with school. It was over, that loud and wacky class that i spend my boring days on. I was strucked. There's no other thing i do beside rolling around the house aimlessly. And well, let's just waste my time gaming at that point. I continue my last save and beat ameno-sagiri. The team went to the shopping district after the fog clears. They chat and goofing around as they always do. I see myself in them, once laughing and just having a good, time enjoying the accompany. It's not over. Sure, there's no more goofing around in my highschool uniform after school, but is highschool uniform all there is?
    I learnt, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

This game, honestly, is more than art, it literally teaches you the things in life you need to hold dear, prioritize. We each have a truth that we are chasing and each of us has a fog that keeps getting in the way, bro idk why but this theme, when this theme started i literally got chills everywhere, reflecting on my journey all the choices, regrets, and FUN i had while i was in Inaba, this cast of characters will always have a special place in my heart, this game imo far surpasses most videogame "art", again, i think it's way more than that. I don't even know if i made half sense with this comment, and i wanna keep it like that cause this game sends me so many messages that you just need to play this masterpiece to fully understand what I'm trying to portray.

I played P5 its a good game as well as P3 but I liked P4G the best because it has a lot of memorable moments, memorable characters, and including this ost. Also the replayability. I probably had 5 playthroughs or more in this game and would want to play again for more. P4G is very light hearted and full of great character development, im not saying there wasnt anything in P5, like I said I liked that game too but theres just something really special about P4G that it keeps me going back to that it's became one of my favorite game of all the time.

    This probably won’t be read but other people have shared there story’s on persona comments sections so why not.
    Just last year I got into persona due to atlus releasing all the games on new consoles, and also from a little pressure from my best friend, and playing them was an amazing experience to say the least. From the way so many of the characters felt like they were real people, to the magnificent gameplay, etc. I loved it, it felt like a game made for me. And it just so happens that the year I got into the series was the year when I finally started making a bit more friends in school, after the previous two years where I had not a ton of friends. But flash forward to like, April I believe? And my parents got a call from their job saying that they would need to move to Louisiana to continue their work. While I was excited to move to Louisiana due to the fact that we had been living in a somewhat small town with not much things to do, it felt sad due to the fact that I would have to leave behind all my friends that I had made in the past school year. But while I was thinking about this, something kinda clicked in my mind, how kinda similar me and yu’s story’s kinda were. We both moved to a place that we weren’t really all to excited about, with not a ton to do all in all, but we both found fun in hanging out with friends, and as soon as I realized that, it felt oddly comforting. And when the day when I had to say goodbye to all my friends that I had built up over the year, including the friend that got me into persona came, where I was in the car ride from my old place to my new place, I played never more, and thinking about all the friends that I had made while the song was playing was one of the most bittersweet things ever, and overall just made me happy, that despite me moving away to a place where I would have to start a new, I could still hold the memories of my friends in my heart.
