The 800 yen tier character will appear on the 11th.
It's already on the disc along with Soul Phrase, so I expect the P3P music DLC to be available next week when Marie arrives.
Each character has their own theme song, as well as a couple other original songs (that aren't for anyone in particular), and at this point, basically every song imaginable from Persona 3/FES/Portable/Movie and 4/Golden/Animation/Golden Animation, and some extra (some are DLC though). You can pick auto to have it select the opposing character's theme (though it's been picking other stuff for me for whatever reason) or a random song. This can be done for Versus, Training, Challenge, or Online modes.

So is anyone willing to play for a while?
Same theme songs from P4A or remixes/new tracks?
Game looks very pretty. I've been watching it on twitch. Question about the story mode. What is the gameplay like in this mode? Is it side scrolling beat em up style ala Dragon's Crown or is it still 1vs1 based? The OP makes it sound like it's the former.
The story mode is just Visual Novel scenes chronicling the misadventures of Team Blue and Team Dancing All Night. From time to time you will fight people in a..well..normal fighting game fight if the plot demands that you fight.
No beat em ups, sorry. This game's pretty beginner friendly though, so if you're new you should have a pretty good time.
You seem so sure of this.
Well, they've announced it already.

Wow why's JP PSN so slow! 
It's only letting me download at 5Mbps on my 50/50 connection.

I think this retail is a bit overpriced since it's really just a expansion.
It's not. It's a full fledged sequel. Brand new story mode, new characters, old characters have received plenty of changes, new system mechanics, shadow characters, online arcade lobbies, you can have multi play lobbies, replay lobbies, and training lobbies; new stages, a ton of new music, and Golden Arena mode.

This is not Super Street Fighter 4. This is a true sequel, basically.

God, I get why they did it but I really dislike changing Yosuke's kunais to 2A/B :/

GGs it's alright I totally deserved that probably
I want to blame netplay for my performance but truth is I would've gotten my ass kicked by your Yu anyways...although I'm pretty sure it did fuck up my Yosuke somewhat at least

Ngl, I was laughing at and felt bad about some of those Sukukaja shenanigans and was just like "oh god this is so stupid why is it even hitting"
Now imagine if I could actually do this gliding thing :T

Yes, on 9/11.
Sure, invite me; I'm up for a few games.
Marie's interesting. I've played about 40 matches with her so far, and she's a zoner, but she does it kind of indirectly compared to the others. I guess her usual tools are the storm cloud, the chocolate thing and her 214C/D eye that sucks opponents in. That eye, in particular, seems to be what she has to use in order to give herself some room to pull out the presents. Her Persona normals are pretty good and cover a wide area with relatively fast start-up.
Most interesting part is the weather mechanic, which influences her status and moves. She can control the weather by landing her 236236C/D super, and holding A, B, C or D once the cards are spinning.
A (Aeon) will result in the sunny weather with an explosion, which is also the default at the start of a match. Not sure if it influences anything else yet, but it increases the damage of the super's A variation.
B (Emperor) will result in the cloudy weather with a thunder strike. This will cause all of Marie's electric based moves (e.g. her throw, her DP and the B super itself) to inflict the opponent with paralysis. Additionally, when she pulls out the storm cloud out of her bag during this weather, she will pull two out instead of one.
C (Empress) will result in the rainy weather. Marie will slowly regenerate HP during this weather. This will also significantly increase the damage of the C variation of her super.
D (Star) will result in snowy weather with a giant ice block falling on the opponent. Marie will slowly gain SP during this weather, but unlike Elizabeth or a Victory Cry Junpei where it constantly increases, she gains SP in chunks of 5 SP per ~3 seconds. Additionally, the D version of her super will now freeze the opponent.
The weather will change between rounds. Not sure if it's completely random, or if there are conditions that will determine what the weather will change to at the start of the subsequent round.
The more I use Adachi, the more thankful I am there's no Shadow version. He'd be so broken lol
Also since I'm waiting on the HK PSN, I don't have Marie yet. I think her tools are ridiculously good though.
Good frame data on her normals, and she can get quite a lot of damage out of certain starters.
Also her Awakening Super is pretty scary. Basically Litchi's super giving you lots of free mixups from what I saw.
Once people get a feel for her tools and form it into her set play, she's going to be a monster.

You can switch it back to Mist in the options somewhere. I'm glad they gave the choice. Mist is probably my favorite IK music in any ASW game I've played.
