Another Ann fan, currently romancing her in my second playthrough of P5. How does P4 Golden compare to the original release? Wondering whether it'd be easier (and much cheaper) to dust off my PS2, rather than having to pony up the dosh for a Vita so I can play P4G? I just like the character a lot because she reminds of my friends from high school. A pretty chill and grounded girl As for Golden, it adds a lot of new content that is worth checking out for, it also replaces Teddie’s and Chie’s voice actors with a new one respectively, personally I preferred the old ones but there it is. Get Persona 4 Golden if you can.

How does P4 Golden compare to the original release? Wondering whether it'd be easier (and much cheaper) to dust off my PS2, rather than having to pony up the dosh for a Vita so I can play P4G? Golden is pretty much an improvement in every possible way, and I bought a PSTV last year specifically to play it and don't regret it one bit (although unless you buy used, the price has gone up on them quite a bit, admittedly). Here's all that it adds: - Several new minor story/hang-out scenes. A couple festivals in August, a concert in October, New Year's and Valentine's stuff, a ski trip, and others.
- A new character, Marie, with an added Social Link that eventually unlocks an additional dungeon and special epilogue, which explores and clarifies some more elements related to the backstory of the plot.
- A Social Link added for Detective Adachi, because his poor, downtrodden, not-so-nutritionally-balanced lifestyle earned him a lot of fans in the original who wanted to learn more about him.
- Several new daytime activities that can be done with party members. Notably, going to the movies together to give them stat/level boosts for their Personas, and hot spring visits where they can learn new skills.
- Party members can also learn new skills by advancing their social links, allowing much more customization of their combat abilities than in the original version. They also get a "Rank 11" Social Link event near the end of the game, upgrading to a 3rd tier Persona and each learning a wholly-unique skill.
- Two new town areas that can be accessed by getting a motorcycle license: Okina City, which has aforementioned movie theater and a couple other unique stores, and Shichiri Beach, and alternative fishing spot.
- To compensate for all of the above, January was made playable, giving you an extra four weeks of calendar time. You will need them.
- The ability to explore parts of town at night, adding additional activities and non-rank-up events with various Social Links.
- Streamlined Persona fusions, allowing you to select what abilities to inherit, and a very easy-to-use (perhaps a little too easy, in fact) Skill Card system that allows full customization of pretty much every Persona.

Going to a convention in July to meet Ann’s voice actress. I know I’ll be able to get my Panther Funko autographed since it’s an autograph signing, but hoping to get a picture too.

An impressive amount of screentime on a female character, finally. We got it! People have been speculating on whether she's meant to be female Joker or not?
Her dialogue about the Phantom Thieves seems far too negative for Joker (unless they were lying) and her class pin on her Shujin uniform shows her to be a first year, rather than a second year. She might be a new character entirely, which would be a shame, because her design is definitely cool enough to suit a female Joker.

Yeah, she's most likely not a female Joker. So this means that either we are getting a new NPC/Confidant or Atlus has for the first time ever decided to put effort into developing a 2nd MC and alter a bit of story to make the transistion better. Money is absolutely on the easy route of her not being a new MC

Having learnt that Hifumi was initially meant to be a party member in P5, that got me thinking... how much of her planned content might have Atlus repurposed for Kasumi in P5R?

Having learnt that Hifumi was initially meant to be a party member in P5, that got me thinking... how much of her planned content might have Atlus repurposed for Kasumi in P5R? First thing to note is that Hifumi wasn't actually meant to be a party member. That's a weird misconception that got out of hand. Hifumi's character art (and only the art) was repurposed from a potential party member design when two characters who were designed separately were merged into one single character (that being Makoto). They then went back and picked up that piece of art out of the recycling bin when they were designing Confidants, but Hifumi as we know her was created independently; they just didn't want a good design to go to waste. Sorry for the tangent, but that urban legend somehow gets me peeved, so I feel compelled to quash it when I see it rear its ugly head. Anyway, as far as the two Proto-Makotos go, we don't really know anything about them. Technically, the character who originally bore Makoto's design might actually be less like the Makoto we got, and the Makoto we got may be like the one who bore Hifumi's design originally. Or it's possible that everything about both characters was rolled into the one we got in an effective fashion. It is also possible that there were indeed plot elements that were going to be to used for one or the other but were dropped, will, in fact, be incorporated into Kasumi's character instead. There's simply too little known about the early planning stages of the game to say. However, P5 is pretty tightly written. I think anything recycled from Proto-Makoto #2 would probably have just been a whim in the first place that they decided to recycle (like the design) if anything. I think most if not all of Kasumi's story is going to be stuff they came up with afterwards, and I somewhat doubt there's a "we wanted to do [x], too, but ran out of time" factor.

(*Such as Hawke being "fine" with blood magic, despite their clear and obvious disdain for it's use in both DA2 and DAI.)
Wasn't aware that Hifumi being a party member was only a fan myth, seen it repeated even in a few gaming articles. I wonder how those rumours got started, something the Japanese devs said that was misreported/mistranslated perhaps? Or journalists not bothering to check sources before publishing, as per usual?

I suspect it's due to misunderstanding/mistranslating the bit from the artbook that explains that the design was recycled. A fansite early on started claiming that Hifumi was meant to be a teammate even though that passage refers to her as "a completely different character". For reference, here's the bit:
