The Bosses of Persona 4 Golden Ranked from Worst to Best

[@TitaRussellTrails]

Rise has her own unique difficulty setting. It’s where you turn your tv volume up to max While friends or family are home

LOL you had me laughing for 10 solid minutes with that comment

[@olstargamer3119]

This has got to be the funniest comment I’ve seen on any video ever lmao

[@DaitylSword]

I’d say it’s a good thing that Shadow Mitsuo has so much effort put into his fight because he’s, at least initially, presented as the killer and the final battle of the game

[@krampusthestoryteller1416]

I mean yes but the social links and the investigation team progress bar kind of spoil for you that it's not. It would be a hell of a twist though if even the progression system were tuned to jebait you like that.

[@TheShiningEnergy]

Kanji's plotline isn't actually about being gay (although you could certainly say he was). It's really about him liking hobbies that are not conventional to a male in society, like making dolls, and sewing.

[@harrybechtle4333]

He’s probably bisexual though

Ameno after getting their ass beat "understandable have a nice day"

[@jambles3752]

"Yo Jack. I just had s3x in persona 4." "wut"

[@rixbyte7438]

Surprised to see this tier list like this, personally I did not have any problems with Kunino Sagiri besides the annoying mind control gimmick, I beat it on my first try funny enough, I wouldn't say he is the best boss or anything though, he is just decent. And Kubo's fight was annoying, the 8-bit gimmick did not appeal to me and it was way too long.

[@UniqueHandles]

No lie lol. Watching that segment I was just sitting there thinking to myself “I cooked him”

[@Ageleszly]

Shadow Mitsuo is my favourite, not presentation wise, but if you play on hard difficulty he is the first boss where you actually have to defend to prevent the enemy from exploiting your elemental weaknesses, it was kind of an eye opener. Ameno-Sagiri on the other hand has awesome music and setting, but I loathe the rest, battle-wise he has no interesting mechanics and he- as well as his first form is simply an large damage sponge where you have to sit through a lot of uneventful minutes if you lose. I thought compared to him Kunino Sagiri is a lot more interesting with his elemental mechanics which you can play around deterministically.

[@Gamernutritionfacts]

Agreed about the leveling gripe. At least in persona you can turn down the difficulty at any time to very easy to get more experience, but even that’s risky if you don’t wanna over level the protagonist or your other mainstay team members

Yet another classic Cytonox video

Is really disappointing that the final boss is just some random woman that appeared 120 hours ago

My ranking: 1| Shadow Yukiko 2| Shadow Mitsuo 3| Ameno-Sagiri 4| Izanami 5| Shadow Naoto 6| Shadow Kanji 7| Adachi 8| Shadow Chie 9| Shadow Teddie 10| Shadow Yosuke 11| Shadow Rise 12| Kunino-Sagiri 13| Kusumi-no-Okami

[@MelonTartVA]

When I first played p4g, Shadow Teddie was my fav boss cuz he came out of nowhere and I didn't see him coming. But now, in terms of ranking: 1, Shadow Naoto 2, Shadow Teddie 3, Marie 4, Izanami 5, Shadow Kanji 6, Adachi 7, giant eye 8, Shadow Chie 9, Ameno Sagiri 10, Shadow Mitsuo 11, Shadow Yukiko 12, Shadow Yosuke 13, Shadow Rise

[@rpgfan1187]

Great video, Alex! I still need to play this game at some point (the only SMT and Persona games I've played so far are 5 Vanilla & Royal and Nocturne), but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. P5R is my favorite game of the 8th generation, so I definitely want to experience more of the franchise. Anyway, I'm enjoying your content as always and look forward to your future uploads!

[@golemofwill4728]

I played this game on vita years ago and come back to it every now and then. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I actually don't hate a single boss here. I never struggled with this game because I just grinded a lot. The only boss that annoys me is Izanami because the victory esque theme kicks in way too early and should have been scripted. The fight is barely started and it plays cheerful music . And every other fake finale felt better and more interesting to me than her. Ameno was much cooler and more engaging of a final boss. Persona 3 had way worse fights than anything here.

[@Aegis19-f2t]

Adachi stan: red flag red flag red flag

[@victrystarz5953]

Hey what was the song used for the adachi entry? Also great video!

[@Cytonox]

It came from the persona 4 golden anime, it’s called ying yang

[@jcplays5831]

12:03 yes. Me. I’m not dumb, I just didn’t think about it on my first playthrough

[@levelmaster2]

My old coworker never could beat Adachi till several years later

[@TotallySearch]

I beat him on PS2 and believe me it was hard

[@argentgoat6184]

That first one was rather aggressive

it is indeed a GOLDEN age for Persona players, where we get P5 people to play Golden kekw

mf’s will have a seizure when they see how shitty all out attacks look in comparison lol

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

Persona 4: the golden(!) standard on how to make good tanky JRPG bosses. Even gives an example on how not to do it. I've two list requests you may like, one for a game, one for a series. For the game, Fate/Grand Order, specifically all the bosses in story chapters/main interludes, excluding the Fatal Battles in the prologue and first five chapters (the grand battles and those with unique BGM are fine, for comparison to later bits). Yes, it's a gacha, but also one where the bosses get pretty amazing by the time you reach Camelot. Besides, it's the most fun I had on video games as of writing. For the series, Ys. The forerunner of all Action RPG franchises, it'd be really amazing to see how you'd rank the myriad of amazing boss fights, and maybe the BGM too. There's no such thing as bad Falcom music.

[@Levahk]

I'm confused by a lot of what you said. Kanji was supposed to be a difficult boss fight? Naoto and Kanji were the only bosses I cleared 1st match(hardest difficulty for everyone.) I mean chia, yususke, and teddy who you claimed were pushover actually beat me. I think the most hated boss you had was probably my favorite, the toughest of them all took me forever to fully do and when I finally did him in I was so relieved, with the exception of baby boss who also took me multiple times I had the rest I learned after a few times or Kanji and Naoto who I steamrolled over. (I never did Marie, adachi, god, or izanami, during adachi stage the minions got so tough that I couldn't even clear them. I was horribly underdeveloped all the bosses and my team just couldn't make up without me lowering the difficulty or farming for days to fight adachi, I gave up on the mini boss who 1 shot me almost everytime I showed up.

[@Anoonymous420]

That fight boss in the video I thought was too easy. But I was overleveled sooooo

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Lmao guess i am the only human being that like Kunino sagiri for the challange he posed if you equip personas which block fire and heal like every 5 turns this boss does not kill you every 2 turns lol at the other way around i do not like the pixel 8bit boss whose name i forgot again he was fucking annoying to deal with he was what you guys said kunino sagiri was but actually shit you could play as well as you like in his baby form he tanked a shit ton and i didn't like the character to begin with his dungeon was also in my opinion the most boring in the game with the most obnoxious mechanic i don't get why people always rank his dungeon and fight so damn high. And because i actually like Kunino Sagiri i guess i am not welcome here anymore it was a nice time see y'all (inserts piece to trigger anxiety again ;)

[@JadenOmega]

My bosses from worst to best from this game. 14. Kunino Sagiri (100% Agree, Fuck this boss.) 13. Amino Sagiri 12. Shadow Kanji 11. Shadow Teddie 10. Shadow Yosuke 9. Shadow Yukiko 8. Shadow Chie 7. Margaret 6. Shadow Mitsuo 5. Shadow Rise 4. Shadow Naoto 3. Izanami 2. Tohrou Adachi 1. Marie/Kasumi No Okami

[@aarontruong354]

Only played OG and never played Golden. Only super boss I ever did was Elizabeth from P3, I'm pretty sure Margaret is easier but I swore off all optional super bosses after that because I never wanted to go through that again. Cytonox got that dog in them nonstop bangers fr, also thanks for saying my last name correctly

[@dachannelfire7049]

I lovvve the slice of life stuff in this game, but I honestly find the bosses to be like getting my life drained by an ugly succubus!
