Perhaps in EU anyways. Honestly, the domestic (JP) release matters the most to the developers so if it's making them money, which it is, there will be a follow up.
Fuck that noise, bring on Gas Chamber
Only if Junpei joins so we get double the impassioned screaming vocals from Kosuke Toriumi.

The woman who did EP's ending song would be nice.

Junpei wishes he was as cool as Tatsuya, Michelle and Jun. Wishes so bad.

And I thought everyone knew that Todoroki was possessed/co-inhabited?

Gold burst also gives you full meter if it hits.

I know this has probably been answered more than once but are there anime cutscenes in the story or just stills?
There are full animated cutscenes at various points in the story. Just like P4/P3 before it.

Thanks for the quick answer. Just finished the P4 anime today and I already want more.

I'm still bothered by it since I own two Japanese systems. I'm less pissed since it's been discovered that the Asian version will work on Japanese systems. With that, the difference in cost from the NA version to Asian version is something like $5 more for me.

Gold burst also only takes half burst gauge I think
Unless Im thinking of something else
Probably thinking One More/Roman Cancels/whatever you want to call them.
Burst is burst is burst. No matter if you use it defense (blue) or offense (gold) it's going to take a full Burst meter to do.
In the japanese version it was called Mayonaka Television (Mayonaka TV). In the english version, it's the Midnight Channel.
Otherwise they just called it "The TV world".
Mayonaka sounds so much cooler.
This game was designed with beginners in mind, so it's absolutely a good way to get into the genre.
Yes it does. I can't picture this ad with the English name.
Λ Core Plus. Not the newest one in arcades. So ya....

yeah that's what I thought
like GG, RC's in this game are just meter dependent not burst.
well technically you can use your burst meter to create a pseudo rapid cancel.
also taken from the p4a dustloop wiki
There are two versions of RCs in this game. One uses burst meter and the other uses super meter.
You're not disproving my theory.
Burst: Get-off-me attack/defense attack. It uses a full meter no matter which option you use. If the offense lands you gain 25% Burst Refill in P4U, compared to the burst being totally gone in GG and BB.
You still need a full burst meter to burst. It does not remove 50% of the Burst gauge on a successful offensive burst hit. That's my point, he's talking about a mechanic that allows you to change a move on something with 50% meter, and I said "that isn't burst because it takes a full meter."
Yeah, you can "roman cancel, one-more, whatever you call it" a move with a burst, but it isn't practical because you're wasting "meter"/burst gauge to do that for what is a super/tension/SP bar gauge mechanic.
i wasn't disproving you at all. he asked tentatively about the gold burst mechanic. you said he was probably thinking of something else. i linked something to show that he was thinking of the right mechanic.

Is that a good thing? I've never played either of them.

Told ya.
It's a really good thing for me. The execution barrier is not nearly as high as either of those games though.
Bro, I payed off my pre-order and I'm probably one of the worst fighting game players on GAF. You go get you some Persona.

I'm really bad at fighters too, I'm getting this for the story.
Is it easy compared to, say, Marvel?
You think Marvel is "easy"? Define easy.
The combo system is easy to catch so far. Air combos can be a little tricky initially but you'll get used to it. Things like instant turn around air dash can also be a bit challenging at first.
Given GG:XX:^C+ has no release date yet for PSN/XBLA, it's up in the air. Running theory is no but who knows. Maybe that'll change if Arc has some sense.

If marvel is easy, then this game is fisher price my first fighting game
Well, I could see Maya traveling to Inaba to get the scoop on the murders and Ulala tagging along just for kicks. Katsuya could maybe have a Naoto connection. Wouldn't Baofu be in his mid-forties by then?
Junpei (Trismegistus) - Slow sword user with range and priority like Hakumen.
Yukari (Isis) - Annoying projectile character like Guile.
Maya (Maia) - Water element user, fighting style resembles Noel's.
Ulala (Callisto) - Ground element user, boxer/grappler hybrid. Maybe she could be similar to say, Kevin from Garou.
Would be a nicely balanced list of additions IMO.
Besides, pitting anyone from the P1/2 cast against the newer Persona characters would be pretty damn unfair. I mean, every single one of them are roughly on Minato's level.
Well Marvel 3 is pretty input lenient. I find it really easy to do a basic Ryu LMHS combo for example. Not saying the game itself is easy; just the combo system (I am horrible at explaining stuff). Thank for the info though.

Man, including autocombos in this games seems like such a brilliant moves. Yesterday I just played this game with a friend of mine who are not interested in fighting game at all. Autocombos stuff lured him in and after a few match we start learning deeper, that was really fun.

we've been slowly getting hitboxes of attacks online.
only characters without hitbox data yet are kanji and elizabeth

Marvel is easy, unless you think he is talking about MvC2 or something.
It really is a good way of letting casuals play without completely breaking the game.
I'm also glad that Arc seemed to learn from Broken Mode (er-"Beginner Mode") Troel (er-"Noel") BBBBBBBBBBBBB (whatever that is in Broken mode, CCCCCCCC?) ... BBBBBBA (mix-up) 66 (or 44 if facing left) *dash* BBBBBBBB... looping trolling in ranked mode (until they patched it.
) that CS1/2 had in that the auto-combos here end (if they have SP) in a super, if not they just end with no loop-ability. Let's the opponent at least attempt to get out of it."God's Beard!"

And awesome. He'd have a unique moveset compared to the other potential characters, saving Koromaru.
