3, maybe even more like a 2.5.
The only difficult part is defeating Margareth and even that is not particularly difficult as you can choose which skills personae inherit during fusion. Might be slightly time consuming due to the 100% compendium completion but nothing should really prove difficult for the plat. Just time consuming. I'd give it 80hrs+, depending how much you decide to skip during the story events as maxing all social links will still take time as well.

EDIT @ Sep 2nd: Got the platinum. Took me just a bit over 140 hours (save-game time, around a 120 hours actual play time maybe?) and it still stays a 3.
The only difficult trophy was the 'Livid Rise Fan' as it is way too random, only got it on my 3rd playthrough and still had to do a 4th one to max out social links was planning to do my 2nd playthrough as a clean-up + getting Rise's trophy but failed it so had to do an extra one. Still absolutely loved the game tho.

Giving this a 4. Most of the trophies are very easy to get. Like you only have to bug catching once, cafe once, etc. I'm surprised they didn't put a trophy for get all Requests. Instead they put like get lucky in the vending machine and buy the special croquette (why put this?). Also good thing they didn't put 100% Skill Cards. That would been even worse than the 100% Persona IMO.

For me the hard trophies would be...
- Beating Margaret
- Bibliomania - Read all the books. Some are available only through events (and if you max the commu early or say the wrong response you won't get it)
- Rise Fan - you have to get her to say 250 unique quotes in battle. This is missable if you are too powerful (you let MC do all the work), don't get low health or status effects, don't analyze the enemy and if you don't switch party members.
- 100% Commu - Just mainly following a schedule.
- 100% Persona - Mostly just the cost to do the fusions and the need for all the Max Commu.

I think you will need minimum two playthroughs unless you follow a very strict schedule.

Damn I actually wanted this to be a hard plat.

Putting all my hopes of Plattting Persona 4 here ... Persona 4 Arena is disgusting in terms of trophy , but not the Golden.

I gave a 6 to this. Reason is I played in Risky mode from the beginning and I had some problems on certain BOSS. I didn't actually finish the game but I'm working on it ^^ : GREATEST GAME so far on the VITA by the way....I never played a Persona before.

[TenshiNoHane]

I rate 5/10 for this game.

I don't think there is any particularly hard trophy in the game. I got Rise's 250 Navi right after I rescued Naoto in my 1st play through. All I can suggest for this trophy is, try to grind a little for types of encounters and status effects.

BTW, I spent about 140 hours to get the platium (two play throughs, spent lots of time grinding shuffle cards to raise my persona's parameters to all 99 ^ ^)

Have not played a Persona game but I pre-ordered anyway. Massive amount of people say its good so why not for my vita. Some of you say in two playthroughs, is there a new game plus to make it easier to get through the game?

Got the platinum today. It really was one of the most enjoyable platinum for quite a while.

I gave this one a 4, there is oohing hard but if you don't plan things carefully enough you might end up doing more rounds.

[Gunningyoudown]

Id say its a 6/10 because some of the achievements could be hard to get (I.E. EVERY SOCIAL LINK MAX!) Others that it will take forever
