TV Listings & Programs

Navigate Persona 4 Golden's TV Listings & Programs section with this expert guide. Learn how to maximize your playthrough and achieve the Golden Ending.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Persona 4 Golden and wondering about the TV Listings and Programs section? It's not a direct gameplay mechanic you interact with moment-to-moment, but understanding how the game's schedule and events unfold is key to getting the most out of your first playthrough. This guide is all about helping you hit those major milestones – maxing out Social Stats, getting the Golden Ending, and completing all Social Links, even romancing the ladies if you fancy!

The core idea behind this guide is to help you make the 'best' choices at every turn, especially those that might be locked behind Social Stats in other games. We're aiming to give you a 2nd playthrough experience on your very first go, which is pretty sweet! Just a heads-up, this involves a bit of 'save scumming' – that means reloading your save file if you don't get the RNG results you need for certain activities. It can be a bit of a grind sometimes, but it's how we'll ensure you meet all the necessary thresholds to unlock everything.

By following this, you'll not only max out your Social Stats but also secure that coveted Golden Ending, complete with the epilogue scene. Plus, you'll unlock the secret Persona through 12-way fusion, which is awesome for any completionists out there. We'll also make sure you can max out every Social Link, and if you want to date multiple girls, that's totally doable. For your party members, most will unlock their 2nd Persona by the 5th dungeon, and you'll be able to invite anyone you want to special events like the Summer Festival, Christmas, and Valentine's Day.

Beyond that, this guide helps you get in 5 scooter rides with 4 party members, unlocking 15 new skills for them and upgrading your All-Out Attack. You'll even have around 6 free days (potentially more!) to use as you see fit – whether that's fishing, leveling up, or just grinding. We're also covering all the time-sensitive optional achievements, sidequests, costumes, models, dolls, Pub weapons, and acing every exam. And don't worry, all of this is achievable on your very first playthrough!

If you're looking to dive even deeper, there's a New Game + guide available too. And hey, if you spot any mistakes or have questions, feel free to send me a message – just be sure to give me the specifics so I can fix it up!
