Persona 4 Golden, the expanded edition of Atlus' beloved PlayStation 2 role-playing game, will be launching on Steam this weekend, according to an increasing number of reports.
Persona 4 originally released in 2008 and was hailed as an instant classic, refining the series' dual-focussed formula - one part JRPG dungeon-crawler, one part school-life sim - into a dazzling, unforgettable whole. For this (technically fifth) instalment in the series, the action shifted to a quiet, rural Japanese town, where, according to rumour, townsfolk would die if they watched a strange television channel that only appeared on rainy nights.
There was plenty of enjoyment to be had in Persona 4's randomly-generated dungeons as players eventually found themselves on the other side of that mysterious TV screen, but it was the sim-like daily activities - classes, clubs, and part-time jobs - that really made the game shine, their low-key daylight thrills grounding the more fanciful nighttime endeavours and helping players form a real emotional bond with the engaging cast of characters.
