Persona 4: Arena |OT| Midnight's Just Around The Corner
- Thread starter cj_iwakura
- Start date
Seriously think entire paragraphs could be written on the flawed nature of the Anti-Shadow Weapons. Maybe I'm just overly fond of the concept of non human-entities obtaining human like individuality and emotions.
Oof, internet too crappy at the moment to try out Chie. Spent the day instead going through some joke endings, watching the NorCal Install stream, and witnessing Brett rage at score attack.
SCOOBY GANG! >_>;
Velma doesn't quuuite fit Chie tho, the rest are spot on however.
Not sure off the top of my head, but PSN offers a description telling which pack belongs to which characters.
It tells you in the description, or at least it does on the 360.

She mentioned that
Erebus resurrects in a year. A YEAR.
I've got a friend who mains Labrys, and I'm having lots of trouble fighting her. Once she gets in I can't find a good way to keep her out besides Shuffle Time. The typical blockstring that ends with Guillotine Axe leaves her just within range of 5B, but if I throw 5B she has time to jump and airdash over and counter me in the recovery for a good combo. She can easily do 4.7k damage once she gets the red axe and meter. It's hard to cross under her because her jumping B hits on both sides of her. If I get lucky I can 2B to counter one of her jump cancelled attacks, that lets me do an easy 2k combo on her, but that's far from enough (I really need to learn how to do that Mahagarudyne thing that lets me recover in time to combo the enemy).
Well, Labby-chan is the best.
So I've gotten true endings for everyone except Naoto and Chie, but I feel like I've seen enough to post about this now.
Edit: Since Persona 4 Golden isn't out yet, I don't know the details yet, but I think it's pretty much confirmed there's a new character that's gonna be in that game. It's almost too bad they didn't try to introduce her in this game in some fashion if she's gonna be considered canon.
I really like the game, but the cliffhanger ending is kinda driving me nuts. Not that it was written bad or anything, but I hate being left in anticipation. I really liked Labrys story, and thought it was pretty emotional and a good addition to the series. Now I'm going nuts wondering who this mystery man is thought that kidnapped Labrys and took control of her near the end. Are there already any theories on this that I've missed until now?
I've never completed Personas 1 or 2, and I'm wondering does anything that happens in these games play into any of the fiction of those original games at all? I'm wondering if maybe there is some hint about this stuff going back to Innocent Sin, or Eternal Punishment that might hint at the identity of our mysterious enemy.
While I really like this game, I hope it's the only one like this. I don't want it to be like Blazblue where we get Persona 4 Arena Extend next or something. I just hope this is all leading into another RPG. Whether it's Persona 5 or not, I'm not sure. It never seemed like any of the previous games were so directly connected, but the way this game ends, it just wouldn't seem right to not have a return with these characters since they all say they plan to pursue it further.

People are theorizing it's
Nyarlathotep, the big bad from P1 and P2 making a comeback which would be super awesome. Supposedly both english and japanese voice actor casting, as well as the possession/impersonation abilities of the culprit support this.
No sep 7th is not official. Fans on the personaeurope fb page think it can get delayed to end of september of even mid-october.
TTT2 will rip this game a new one if it releases after it. Tekken is huge in India, Middle East (countries ive lived in)
In regards to Persona 4 Golden,
The new character couldn't appear in the game due to details that are explained rather thoroughly in Persona 4 Golden.
As for the ending
There are actually TWO villains. One of which is a normal human who set up the hijacking and lacks a Persona, the other is someone not quite human. Who is heavily implied to be Nyarlathotep, and as Beast Legacy mentioned, it's the same actor in both P2 and P4A... Nyarlathotep is pretty much unbeatable due to the fact that chaos exists in the hearts of all humans. As long as humanity exists, he can come back with enough effort. =P
I really hope it's out before DOA5. If it's not, I'll probably just rent this for the story mode. Can't have two fighters on the go at once, and I know for a fact I'll like DOA more.
Also, Zen have an event booked for the end of August so.... Well, let's just say not to expect it until some time after the end of August.

In regards to P3/P4 and P4A endings
Sure are alot of God like entities that want to fuck up this "Persona Prime" Earth.

I expect everyone to save these spoilers for the story thread so I don't have to go backtracking to read them all later.
Lol it was probably that.

Why don't you just make the thread now while people definitely want to talk about the story?
I'd make it if I wasn't a junior. Isn't the first post pretty much supposed to be spoilers ahead beware anyway?

Considering I haven't beaten the game, that seems a bit silly.
I just finished Arcade mode with all characters and all I can say is that I really suck at fighting games. Ive been watching the demos of the challenges for possible combos and theres really no way I can do those stuff. Oh well, gonna start Story mode within the week once I get more free time. Im actually scared to go Online seeing as how I got eaten last night.

this isn't about you, it's about people having a place to talk about the story without black bars all over the page
No, what is silly is that you won't make a thread because you haven't beaten the game as opposed to making that thread and leaving it the hell alone until you do.

Well if you insist... I just thought traditionally those threads were made by people who can contribute to them.
Just make it, it doesn't even need a fancy graphic.
I personally find people not making threads for reasons like that being utterly silly. It's a spoiler thread. All you need to do is make it with "discuss P4U story here instead of in the OT," and be done with it. *shrug*
Damn.
Here's to hoping this is just a short ban.
I would love a counter under the "banned" tag, indicating the number of days left. ^^

Nah, it's a place for people to talk. The OP doesn't have to do anything else with it. The Darksiders 2 spoiler thread has been up for a few days already and hardly anyone has played the game.

Yeah TTT2 is gonna dominate, but I'll still get both when they get released.

Well as you probably know the only way to get better is to try and practice.

High level online play. There was a Chie called Spinking that was doing some crazy IAD backturned crossups with meteors.

Finally picked up a copy. Playing the tutorial mode, eh, it's okay. Play the challenge mode, holy fuck this is awesome!
Edit: The only thing this game's Challenge mode is missing is input and timing display, there's at least a display mode to give you an idea though.

I don't really see how those regions have anything to do with the US or Japan. TTT2 might have some impact in Europe though.
