MAKE IT HAPPEN ATLUS / ARCSYS!

Soooo... I've never played a Persona/SMT game before. I like fighting games a lot and don't mind anime elements as long as the game is fun. Should I stay away since I have no idea what's going on with this game or pick it up since I like fighters?
Thoughts on this matter would be great.

No.No.No. He may have been a drone, but the fashion sense was windy city swag.
Yu could learn a thing or two.

If you like fighters / ArcSys games by all means pick it up! Even potentially could lure you into eventually playing through persona 4 in the future lol

Rent it and see what you think? Just watch videos and see if it appeals?
If you've no idea what's going on and just want to play for the fighting mechancis then just skip the cutscenes.
Basically: you know your self best (and I don't mean that in a lazy cop-out way).

I recently bought BlazBlue on a whim to check it out. It's actually very fun and surprisingly deep and easy to do cool combos and stuff. I'm of intermediate skill at best but I still have fun with it. It's the only Arcsys game I've ever played but P4 Arena caught my eye.
the GameMania in the Netherlands says august 31st. So it seems it's really gonna be close to to those 2 dates.
With this game, you're better off being a fighting games fan rather than a Persona fan.
Try it, you'll probably enjoy it!

So Stores again?
Hard to trust those sources and early dates, considering they haven't even announced their special editions yet (as they recently said there would be).

That seriously would have made an awesome hidden character. Esp with the character design I could see Arc Sys doing quite a good job with the animations of his clothing.

Damn, it looks like the majority of players will be on PS3. I was planning on going with 360 because I have arcade sticks for it.
But should I go with PS3 instead and stick it out with a dual shock 3? Thoughts?

Well, I suppose she could crush people.

Although it will never happen, I still demand this!
With all jokes aside, we really do need another more orthodox grab character. Since Kanji is a bit too combo / grab based which I think is why people kinda dont like using him. Though his grab does do an insane amount of damage for a single move.

360 has busted online.

360 has major lag issues that the developers are looking into. Don't know that there's much difference between the versions other than that and things that are safe to assume. 360 version will probably have a smaller community, but better netplay in general once they patch whatever issue is going on now. PS3 will probably have a bigger community and more high-level anime fighter dudes.
Ah okay, thanks for the heads up. I'll probably just stick with 360 if there's a fix incoming, it looks like there's enough SP content to keep me occupied.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'd like to get it on PS3 for the larger community, but I don't have an arcade stick for PS3 and can't afford to get a new $100+ stick for a long while.
Apparently this isn't that bad to play with a pad.

Was driving me crazy though for challenge mode till I got my stick. But then again Im not like a top tier fighting game player

Ugh it can't be worse than MvC3. My freaking left thumb was black and blue until I got a stick.

At least a huge plus which will save folks thumbs is that this game doesnt use overly complex motions. Most are either charge moves or QCB / QCF type of commands.
The days of old school SNK fighting games made me sad. Esp trying to do the raging storm.

Lol, some of challenges in BB are far and beyond the ones in MvC3. I know because I've done all of the MvC3 ones and I may never finish some of those BB ones since I can't wrap my head around some characters like Carl.
From the small fraction of what I've seen of P4A's mission mode it doesnt seem too difficult but there's gonna be tricky stuff, especially since all of the characters play completely different.

Hmm... to cancel Amazon or not...
I'd be tempted if I wasn't getting 12 bucks off my Newegg order.
BBCS doesn't even ease you into the trial either. I remember doing one of hakumens trials. The easy shit like moves, supers, etc and then the next combo has you doing jump cancels and tking one of his moves into a long ass combo. It was only challange 3. THREE.
fuck that game.

That makes no sense that they'd do a midnight release for P4:A. I love the series, but it can't have that much widespread appeal.
Yes I saw, and a little too late, at least for me. I'm glad they made the right move with implementing that stuff into P4A though.
Well, keep in mind I'm not that great at fighters. If this is as accessible as people are saying, I'm gonna put a lot of effort into becoming competitive.
Yea the guy acted like it was just because a lot of the people in the area requested it. So I guess the scene around me is gonna be really into it.
