Ah, this came completely out of left field when it was first announced almost a week ago. A great deal of my spirit is VERY annoyed at the fact that this isn't Guilty Gear, but another part of me is intrigued. I look forward to seeing this at TGS.

Gameplay Footage:

It looks awesome, but why was Chie using fireball attacks? Unless it was a really high-level skill that I never got Chie should be using Bufu spells.

Not that I recall.


I'm more weirded out by the fact none of the characters have their ultimate personas.

Does that mean that, in canon, Soji is an unsociable asshat? O:

OMG! This is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure all over again and JoJo was definitely one of my favorite fighters back in the day. O how I've dreamed of a sequel or new game similar to it. This looks down-right awesome!

Time to go dig up information on how the "Stands" work.

Is there a a story line to the game? It says it takes place 2 months after Persona 4. I wonder if there will be any connection to the first game as far as social links. I doubt it, though.

There will likely be a story, considering that story is very important to the Persona games, and Arc System Works already did a phenomenal job with the BlazBlue story.

Huh. I wonder how they will handle it, considering the main protagonist's dialog and "personality" were chosen by the player last time.

Mitsuru and Akihiko

Meh....

Yes!

Two of my favs from P3. If I get this it'll be so hard to pick a main.

Junpei would have been an infinitely superior choice to either of them sir. uhuh

That said, whenever I get this, I will main Aigis.

Because I <3 Aigis.

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

Yeauuuh!

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/02/persona-4-arenas-story-mode-is-roughly-half-the-size-of-persona-4/

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.

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/03/persona-3-heroes-dish-out-mass-destruction-in-persona-4-arena/

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.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118324-Atlus-Explains-Persona-4-Arena-Region-Lock

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

HWJBUDtK4YQ#!

Atlus streamed a full english trailer and stuff

Also, lol at Teddie's victory poses.

http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/teddy-persona-4-arena-win.png

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.

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 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.... http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/negativeman-55f.png


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, 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.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/aug/23/persona-4-arena-europe-release-date-still-unknown-due-development-issues/

Europe's release date is now unknown due to development issues.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/aug/15/junpei-and-yukari-confirmed-playable-upcoming-persona-4-arena-update/

I've been waiting for this.

Why?

Atlus are the makers of Megami Tensei.

It's probably going to be Sega.

Nah it's totally going to be Nintendo. Upcoming crossover seals the deal.

Yet, Sega is the one interested in buying Atlus.

Hmmmm
