Vita has one advantage over that though - portability. Which is a pretty big deal for me, but am different strokes for different folks :monster: You should also check if the Danganronpas are compatible because I'm telling you you're probably gonna love them.
I tend to play handheld systems at home anyway, so! Portability isn't a big deal for me, but I will check if Danganronpas is on there.
The main thing is the cost. I was checking at the actual PS Vita and that looks more expensive.
Well dang it I want the PS TV now
Danganronpa 1 is not compatible for reasons unknown.
I've heard this as well, but there are conflicting sources regarding it.Quote:

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I'll purchase the PS TV and a copy of Persona 4 Golden. Here's hoping the PS TV works exactly as intended. :)

Other than that, however, he says it functions fine, and says it's worth getting even for that platform.
I've watched a few hours of a guy playing P4DAN on the PSTV. He didn't really mention any input lag, but I've noticed that the story is... different. I figured it would just be a dancing game, but, no, it's got quite the story to it, too. And lots, and lots, (and lots) of fanservice. Including most of the girls' extra sounds in their dances consisting of only "oohs" and "ahs". Even Nanako a little bit, too. It kind of creeped me out a bit. Having said that, though, the music is still top notch (would be better if you could turn off in-song character speech), and the gameplay seems to be on par with most rhythm games that aren't Project DIVA. But Rise's voice actress changed, and the new one, while not bad in most of her roles, really does NOT fit Rise. Every time she talks I want to scream in terror.
That's Ashly Bunch of HAWP.
She's actually a really good voice actor and has played Rei in Persona Q. Still, hearing Rise voiced by anyone that isn't Laura Bailey is just wrong.
I still love how Matt Mercer and Troy Baker sound identical as Kanji.
I'm pretty positive I heard you can turn off character speech during the songs.
Oh, good. The guy I was watching was one of those people that the first thing he does when he starts a new game is NOT going into the config and making sure everything's perfect! :erm:
Another good thing I've noticed is that Persona 4: Arena Ultimax is on the PS3, which I do own, so that's a win.
Ultimax is a direct sequel to Persona 4 Arena, and you will miss a LOT of background info if you don't play Arena first. It's also for PS3.Quote:

In terms of mechanics, this is true. The original Persona 4 Arena released as an arcade game with no story mode. Several DLC characters were added over time. The console version (which was being worked on at the same time) was developed with a full story.Quote:

After the first version was completed, ATLUS begin writing a sequel, as Arc System Works began working on slightly tweaking the characters, mechanics, and developing more characters. While the second version released in arcades as Persona 4 Ultimax, and featured little more than the mechanical refinements, the home port again had an entirely new and separate story mode. It follows after the events of the first game. They tweaked how it is formatted as well, so the story doesn't follow the same structure as the original game.
I think ultimax has dlc that includes the story mode of the original arena too.
