My friend, there is a God and he works at Arcsys-Aksys (whatever the f**k)!

Yeauuuh!

The storymode is going to be about half as long as Persona 4.

So, about 30-40 hours.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and concerning palette swaps, each character gets one from the Persona series (2/3 mainly), a Guilty Gear swap, and a BlazBlue swap.

Persona 3 character moves and stuff.

And also, it appears that unlike characters from 4, the characters from 3 didn't lose their ultimate personas.

Game's going to be region-locked as far as physical copies go (But not online, can still play with anyone in the world)

Interesting to note is that this is the first region-locked PS3 game.

Here's the opening cinematic

Atlus streamed a full english trailer and stuff

YouTube video

Also, lol at Teddie's victory poses.

So this is coming out soon, and it made sold a shitton of copies in Japan. It is now the best selling conventional fighting game in the past four years, selling over 138,000 copies in just four days. To compare, Street Fighter IV only sold 86,000 in it’s first week and Tekken 6 sold approximately 103,000. In fact, the only fighting games that beat Persona 4 Arena were non-conventional Square-Enix titles Dissidia and Dissidia Duodecim which sold around 490,000 and 286,000 units respectively.

Just a heads up.

That's only Japan though, to be fair, will have to wait and see how it does in America and Europe.

But yeah, Persona's awesome and stuff.

Yerp.

Its sold almost as much as Persona 4 The Golden (188,782), which is kewl. I hope it sells well in 'merica as well.

Yosuke's storyline legit made me lol.

Spoiler:
lol at his rampant homophobia

I just picked this up today. It is excellent!!!!

Elizabeth is one big troll in this game

And is also apparently a mountain buster. mmm

Whaaaaaaaa-?

Yeah she

Spoiler:
flipped over a mountain sized Erebus who is stated to be able to "flatten mountains" or something, with one hand.

Then one-shotted him with Thanatos.

Still as adorably goofy as always though.

Goddamn.

Well at least she didn't bust out dat Pixie.

Dat bloody Pixie....

She was pretty much my favorite character in 3, boss fight excluded. So adorably and funny. <3

So after completing the story mode of the game,

Spoiler:
I have some suspicions that the "Malevolent Entity" that comes up a few times is actually Nyarlathotep. The internet seems to agree with me.

So, Elizabeth is basically the "Nu-13" of this game, as far as I can tell. mhmm

Also, am moderately sure Junpei and probably Yukari will be DLC at some point.

I think they've said that they aren't working on any DLC at this time. But if there's evidence in the story....

Also I seriously think Mitsuru may have become a pimp.

I've never seen any statement like that O:

And there are some implications in the story. mmm Plus, the whole Playstation Store bar in the menu.
