Was the original's treatment of
as bad as this game's or is it worse this time around? I only remember the part of the ending where
Also, is this game harder than the original for anyone else?

Toby found out she used to be a guy and he lost his Vcard to her.

Yeah, don't feel bad about it, it's a nice extra to get but it's not worth the upfront price of the game if indeed it doubles your price.
I'm sure there will be a proper fullsize book with more in depth look at the creative process in the future.
There is this book:

Can't say about the contents tho
Thanks, bought ;) If it's interesting i'll tell about the content... in ... err... 3 weeks (i'm cheap for shipping)
I mean, the Chie avatar.... P4 is not exactly without a stain on its hands for being regressive on issues.
The fact the game has garnered so much discussion because of this issue with a character is, in and of itself, significant I think. It's just a shame its writer's aren't nearly as ready to tackle complicated subject matter despite what it thinks.

Hoping to grab the game this week or next. Really I just wanna sit and struggle with a hard game; it's been a while since I've played for a challenge and I heard Cath is great for it. 🍷
Looks like you had to some text message stuff so I'm too late for that one unfortunately. Damn, some of these really are obscure.
Here's a spoiler free guide if anyone was looking for one.
Going through my first ever playthrough and I'm really into everything so far, including the puzzles. I'm not going to read any guides and just go with the flow.
I'm not that far in, but I think the "broken" indicator after a question marks your way toward that path. There are 19 endings in total, so at some point a guide could be necessary.
Yep, I tried going in blind and missed all the new stuff my first playthrough. Which is a bummer since I had already played this extensively in the original release and with the PC release.
You can skip puzzles at least so a new playthrough didn't take too long.
I dunno, I thought it was pretty straightforward if you're specifically aiming for Rin. You won't be free to answer the questions as you want to, but if you keep in mind what Rin's all about, it's pretty simple each time you're prompted.
I 100%'d Catherine on PC a few weeks ago and im debating if I want to try it again with full body. Catherine is probably my favourite puzzle game and (for the most part) it was a fun hundo but it took a lot out of me to do. Not sure if im ready for that again.
Might just play the PS4 version casually and double dip if it ever comes to PC and 100% it there instead.

For sure. But was my impression right, about the "broken" meter when answering before/after trials? Or is it something entirely else? I don't remember that from original, though that was a long time ago.
Well it's an interesting comment from someone with a Persona 4 avatar for one thing
Great OP. With so many games coming out I keep getting pulled away from this, but it does truly feel like a new experience even having played the original. Feels like a 1.5 rather than a more incremental upgrade.
Yup, after Vincent annoyed me so much by the end of the game (just his endless whining an indecision) I actually can't be bothered to get it in English. I got the gist of enough of the story that I'd really only want to get the other endings for trophies. The game is just so well suited to handheld play that I personally find the Vita version to be my preferred version. Plus the new levels and arranged mode are fantastic additions, makes a good puzzle game even better.
I'm really enjoying the game so far. I forgot how fun the puzzle gameplay is, it's like nothing else out there. Remix mode isn't for me though, played a few levels with it and found it frustrating and more difficult; it feels more constraining to have to work with those bigger blocks to a point where the various techniques taught seem worthless in this mode. Maybe I'll revisit it in another run.
So far I'm finding the Rin path pretty intuitive, I picked up on the meter shatters and the hints about new possibilities and new paths. I just finished Chapter 5 so maybe it gets more obtuse? Stayed up late last night playing because I kept thinking "just one more puzzle...."

Played this on Xbox when it first came out and loved it. I have gotten worse at video games though the puzzles are way more challenging than I remember. I am just a few hours in but in surprised about just how much Rin has been in the game. I thought she would be a small side character but a lot of these early scenes are brand new with her.
10-15 hours for a single playthrough and there's 14 different endings with remixed stages. There's also a lot of optional content. This game can last you a while if you really want it to.

Also, they added powerups to the challenge stages, so they're not AS bad, but still really tough.
Yeah, and it actually has DLC for nine different seiyuu choices for Catherine even.
If you are trying to simple get Rin's true ending, then yes. Once the meter breaks, then you are on Rin's path. But trying to also get the bad and normal endings you do need to know where and how to answer.
I don't remember the end game being this frustrating. Lol. Had to resort to following a YouTube video.
Okay, thank you! I had that impression and the question's nature pointed a bit in that way. Yes, I'll play without obsessing about it, and once I complete it, it'll take a look somewhere, otherwise it's going to be impossible.

Remix is no joke. It completely revamps stages with 'tetris' blocks.
The remix mode is surprisingly different, its amazing how different the whole game feels because of it.
Will probably get this when it's cheap. I like the game's story, but the wackier/supernatural elements really clash with some of the serious themes. The Catherine endings really didn't do it for me.
Bought the Special Edition yesterday that came with the sheep plush, artbook and soundtrack. I played through Catherine some 8 years ago on my ps3 and absolutely loved the mix of addictive puzzle gameplay and actual story themes that are relative to me as opposed to the classic JRPG 16 yo saves the world trope.
The presentation is gorgeous, the acting is spot on and the writing is fitting. The soundtrack is perfect for the mood that the game sets to make and the characters are memorable and all likeable. The additional content is welcome and I'm feeling the game grab me again like it did years ago. Glad Atlus and Sega brought this game back as it's one of my favourites from last generation. Likewise, this will remain so for the current consoles.
I really should go for a better ending this time though. I got one of the bad endings back in 2011.

Yes, was really looking forward to this on Vita.
Now I am not buying this game...Or is there a way to play the Japanese release with English text?
Probably not, unless there is some "unofficial" way to do it, which remains doubtful for now. I think that version didn't perform too well, in any case. Playing your PS4 version through Remote Play is bound to offer equal or better results.
Thanks.
Even though I could just use Remote Play, I am not supporting this bullshit decision not to bring it over, even as a digital only release. Doesn't matter how much Sony is to blame as well.
Rather not buying the game at all.
That's fair. Perhaps in the future some dedicated modder takes the time to translate that version.
I'm going for Rin True ending and I agree. While I understand some of the complaints, I feel they overshadow some of the good work that route does.
