  Just know that this review is only negative because of the quality of the port, and not the game itself I'll open with this, P4 Arena quickly became one of my favorite fighting games when I first played it because it has all the things I look for in a fighting game. It's fast paced, frantic, technical, has a large and diverse character roster, and is just plain fun. This is on top of being a love letter to personas 4 and 3, with a fairly decent, and canon, story mode to play through as well. With all of that being said I was very disappointed in this port having the issues it does have, because I wanted to see this game get a second chance in the spotlight. While I haven't ran into nearly as many issues as others have, there are still some very OBVIOUS issues that ANY PLAY-TESTING would've revealed instantly. Very bad audio mixing making the FMVs and random sound effects incredibly loud compared to the rest of the game, and generally poor online performance. From my experience it was mostly fine during matches although due to not having rollback yet, random stuttering will happen, and that is not ideal at all for a technical fighting game of this nature. If that wasn't bad enough, simply trying to get into a match and find players who you haven't played against before can be a real hassle. Also the game ran perfect from my experience, but I have friends who had the game run unplayably slow, despite having great PCs. This sucks because not only is it a gamble on the game FUNCTIONING for you, but for whoever you may want to play with as well. I just straight up can't play this game with some of my friends until they fix the optimization or whatever is causing this. All of this being said, it makes me very upset that this game wasn't handled with the respect it deserved, and was clearly rushed to meet a deadline. The player base is already pretty small, and I can very well see these issues making people drop the game or not want to pick it up entirely. TLDR, fantastic game, but buy with caution

  [h1]Great game, but Adachi can't save a bad PC Port[/h1] As a big Atlus/Persona fan, I never thought I'd refund a Persona game ever. It was a painful and difficult decision. I cannot recommend the game as it is right now. The PC Port is really bad to the point that it ruins the game experience. If you take a look closely at the Steam reviews, almost all positive reviews are just people simping for Adachi. Most of the real reviews of this game are negative due to the terrible port. P4AU itself is an incredible game, very fun to play with excellent characters and a very colorful, flashy and vibrant visuals. My PS3 broke due to a power surge that came from the network cable in a stormy day about a month after P4AU got released 9 years ago so I could never play it since then. I was really excited to finally be able play it now in current-gen hardware, especially on PC, but unfortunately the awful port ruined my experience of this great game. There are several random crashing issues in different modes, very inconsistent audio volumes that are either inaudibly quiet or freaking loud, plus video playback issues (init render and separate "active movie window" pop-up). The developers didn't even bother to upscale the game graphical assets from 720p to a higher resolution. Online matching crashes when searching for rooms with more than 2 slots and when it finds any rooms there are like only 3 people available. Ranked works but I can only find like 4 people with a 0 bar connection. I understand that this game is not popular in my region but I was expecting to find more than 7 people online at launch day. Lobbies have been removed in this version for no real reason. Atlus completely trolled us all at launch by unlocking the game 5 hours after the Steam page release time. The game is expensive for a bad 9 year old "remaster" and doesn't have regional pricing. I decided to buy it anyway because I'm a big Persona fan and I was really excited to play this game that I could never play for 9 years. The game itself is excellent, but the terrible PC Port and the big number of issues alongside a bad delay based netcode completely ruined the enjoyment of the game. Maybe I'll reconsider buying it again once rollback is implemented and the issues are fixed, but for now I can't recommend P4AU in it's current state. The negatives are greater than the positives and I felt a big disrespect from Atlus this time. I wasted too much time waiting the game troll release time, trying to fix the port issues, and trying to find people with acceptable connection online. It was a difficult decision, but I had to refund it unfortunately.

  Why was steam remote play disabled? worked just fine on launch. no reason to disable it other than to get people to buy another copy. EDIT: For anyone passing by this review who doesn't want to use parsec for whatever reason/doesn't work for them, this tool forces steam to start a remote play session. not as elegant as right clicking in your friends list, but until Atlus stops being greedy it works. https://github.com/m4dEngi/RemotePlayWhatever

  cool game should've waited for netcode to not suck before charging people for it
