I've been playing through the series in the originally intended order by the developers (5-3-4), making topics as I go along, and it's finally time for P4. First we had Brent Johnson (P5) and his lover Makoto, then we had Frank Svensson and his lovers Yukari, Aigis, Chihiro, and Maya (I'd have had Mitsuru in that harem as well but for the reversal mechanic), and soon there will be another high schooler with a clearly Japanese name and a girlfriend. I'll post my thoughts and opinions as I go along. I am playing the PS2 version, not the Vita version, because I don't own a Vita. I know there's extra content in it, but I'll just have to miss it.

Please don't post spoilers until I reach the appropriate part of the game. However, I will spoil P3 and P5 freely.

Full disclosure, I know the following things:
- Its color is yellow, whereas P3's is blue and P5's is red.
- People call it the Scooby-Doo game.
- The main villain is the scruffy-looking guy, I don't know his name but I know he's a meme on 4chan. I considered lying and pretending I didn't know this so that I could 'figure it out' early on and impress everyone with my mystery solving skills, but after screwing up so badly on P3 and P5's mysteries, I don't think there's any redeeming myself anyway.
- It takes place in a rural town instead of a big city like the other games.
- The Morgana of this game is a talking teddy bear who turns into a human.
- There's a fat ugly schoolgirl.
- The Lovers arcana girl has the same hairstyle as Ann.
- There's a girl named Marie whom fans complain doesn't fit in with the rest of the game, but I don't know why.

Questions I have:
1. Is any of the added content in P4G significant?
2. Are girls automatically romanced once you hit the appropriate social link rank, or do you have to make it happen on purpose? I don't want awkward Valentine's Day stuff happening, so I need to know in advance if I should stop after a certain rank.
3. Are the dungeons better than P3's? Because that's not a high bar.
4. Does knowing who the villain is in advance ruin the game's story?

And because people asked in the previous topics,
Makoto >= Kawakami > Aigis > Shadow Sae > Sae > Haru > Yukari > Futaba > Toriumi > Mitsuru > Tae > Hifumi > Ann > Chihiro > Fuuka > Chihaya > Yuko > Ohya

The game is currently paused on the title screen, so now it's time to begin.
