Persona 4: Golden on PS Vita for me.
I heard great things about the game and bought my Vita in part to play P4G. Played for a few hours but was totally confused by the dungeon crawling aspect. Every floor looked the same to me, the game was pretty hard for someone without much JRPG experience and when you died inside a dungeon you lost a lot of progress. I hated it. Gave it another try a year or two after that and got a little further into the game, but again stopped playing.

Then Persona 5 released on Switch and I absolutely loved that game, so I gave P4G another chance when it released on Switch. And what can I say? It turned into one of my favorite games of all time. I loved it, even more than I loved Persona 5. I think I've never felt so close to video game characters my whole life. The game really touched me on an emotional level. Those friends I made in Inaba were... special. It reminded me of my time as a teenager. I like the message it conveys: that it is important to find and then follow your own path through life. I hope it gets a proper remake some day, like P3 will be getting soon.
