History Trivia / Persona4

** ''Golden'' actually has [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/746230710150496367/1064197439038427186/image.png six time of day phases]], but one called "Forenoon" is never used.

* NoBudget: Creator/{{Atlus}} was going through severe financial trouble during development and this shows quite a bit if one digs through the data, as the game was essentially built on top of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' in a way that is more or less akin to a fanmade hack, with much of the data assets remaining buried in the code in a way that was most likely not test data. This is a testament that, despite the lack of money, the game was still financially and critically successful, which likely influenced Sega buying Atlus out instead of liquidating Atlus' assets after they went bankrupt a few months post-release.
