Awesome Fan Mod Restores Persona 4's Original Art Design to Persona 4 Golden

Twitter user @_ace_defective_ has announced that their patch for Persona 4 Golden's PC version has been released!

The original version of Persona 4 featured fog within the TV world and a darker aesthetic that helped set the creepy and mysterious atmosphere for the game; however, the enhanced version of the game "Golden" changed the fog and revamped the graphics in general. It's one of the few parts of Persona 4 Golden that many fans would consider a "down grade," in an otherwise definitive version of the game. (Putting aside the change in voice actors that is.) Well, thanks to the new patch, the classic style has now been restored!

As stated on the mod's official webpage:

Persona 4 Golden's release came with significant changes to the game's visual identity. While there are several potential reasons for this from tone changes to hardware features/limitations, it is clear that Persona 4 Golden looks very different.

This mod is a visual overhaul mod for Persona 4 Golden that aims to restore the visuals of Persona 4, starting with some of the most iconic areas of the original P4 - the dungeons. I've always felt the original P4 looks really nice, and my goal with this was to make a mod that would allow people to finally experience the visuals of the original Persona 4 through Persona 4 Golden, a game that is infinitely more accessible today.

To be clear - this mod aims to give P4G the aesthetic of the original. It's not restoring missing fog or adding back missing assets. I mention this because I've seen a lot of people say P4G broke the P4 fog, but for the most part, it really seems like they just went for a different style.
