I don;t understand what this means because lol fighting games

Japanese first impressions of Yukari in P4A: Hawkeye from UMvC3. Oooooooh!

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I don;t understand what this means because lol fighting games

It means she's an awesome zoning character with a variety of projectiles who can hold their own in close-quarters combat.

In other words, a cool character.

That just went "woosh" over my head.
I'm only in it for the story and music.

 

[Sophia]

ROFL. JUNPEI'S CHARACTER SPECIFIC SPECIAL METER IS A BASEBALL FIELD. WAT. XD

Or: Ron will like her a lot.

Spoiler

And I do!

She's in the same ball park as Yukiko.

 

[cjkeats]

I bet Junepi is a professional baseball player now.
Kinda looks like a baseball outfit he's wearing.

 

[TurnipFritters]

he does baseball now

 

[pirata]

Wait, they're adding Junpei to P4A?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I really hope Time To Make History is in the game so I can use it as Junpei unofficial theme.

Just step on up to the plaaaaaaaaaaaaate~

Spoiler

Seriously though, his theme had better be amazing.

 

[Squire]

Wait, they're adding Junpei to P4A?

And Yukari, yeah!

[TurnipFritters]

there's also two BIG EMPTY SPACES on the character select screen, so please look forward to highschool ken and koromaru/final boss (which also a teenage robot girl in a school uniform)/persona 5 cameo

Gross. I would have hoped someone would have killed him by now.

and koromaru/final boss (which also a teenage robot girl in a school uniform)/persona 5 cameo

I can live with this.

 

[Astra]

Holy crap, something was announced?!

Sadly I have zero interest in P4A, but I am happy to see something new being announced amidst all the uncertainty.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Gross. I would have hoped someone would have killed him by now.



I can live with this.

i mean it could end up being new robot girl and shadow version of new robot girl.

 

[Tamanon]

I actually like Junpei's new design. Fits his character.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

i mean it could end up being new robot girl and shadow version of new robot girl.

Hoping for Tetsuya or Nanjo.

 

[Tamanon]

Nanjo and Ulala.

Let's do this.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Hoping for Tetsuya or Nanjo.

Nanjo and Ulala.

Let's do this.

your dreams will go unfulfilled

 

[Squire]

Hmm, I bet Marie will in this, even it's only in a few cutscenes and nothing more.

 

[buddha0991]

your dreams will go unfulfilled

If I had to guess Turnip, my guess would be Nanjo and Margaret, really.

 

[Tamanon]

More than just the new characters, I'm looking forward to the new story bits for them. See how Junpei is doing at the end of things.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

i mean it could end up being new robot girl and shadow version of new robot girl.

Nanjo makes too much sense, Tetsuya because he's awesome

 

[cj_iwakura]

Dantis on suicide watch

I'll be asleep when he hits this thread, but I'll have my popcorn ready in the morning.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

P4 is a brand. P3 is now a game in the P4 franchise.

I'm okay with this.

These are the worst opinions.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I'll be asleep when he hits this thread, but I'll have my popcorn ready in the morning.

I hope he has a super nova esque meltdown.

 

[TurnipFritters]

does dantis not like persona or something

 

[cjkeats]

Shadow mode Chie

 

[XiaNaphryz]

does dantis not like persona or something

Everyone's just joking around, Dantis LOVES all things to do with Persona 4 Arena.

 

[Squire]

I'll be asleep when he hits this thread, but I'll have my popcorn ready in the morning.

LOL, I'm gonna watch it live.

 

[TurnipFritters]

that's a shyguy

 

[Meia]

If I had to guess Turnip, my guess would be Nanjo and Margaret, really.

Margaret probably isn't a bad guess. I'd LOVE for Nanjo to be in it too.

Love Junpei's look, and Yukari as the pink ranger is awesome.


Dantis may be ok. If this is a full fledged sequel, that means they'll continue Arena's story in it, which means Persona 5 will most likely be it's own separate entity story wise. Unless the Arena stories are building up to where 5 starts off...


This is what I get for sleeping during the day, blah.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Something interesting Zef from another board posted, from Persona guidance.

Ever wonder how Chidori's sketch of Junpei looked?

Huh? That can't be the Persona World Guidance, as that only covers P1/P2.... What book is that? o_o;

 

[cj_iwakura]

Huh? That can't be the Persona World Guidance, as that only covers P1/P2.... What book is that? o_o;

My bad, it's from a P3 fanbook called 'My Episode'. Maybe it's not legit?

 

[Soma]

Ohhhhh damn @ Junpei's new design. Hyped to see Yukari in this too.

Now just give me Makoto and I'm sold.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Apparently Famitsu has confirmed this is a sequel to P4A? Not that surprising really.

 

[Sophia]

My bad, it's from a P3 fanbook called 'My Episode'. Maybe it's not legit?

Ahh, the fanbooks. They've got expanded story info in them, but they're not quite 100% canon.

That looks like detailed story walkthrough.

Apparently Famitsu has confirmed this is a sequel to P4A? Not that surprising really.

Yeah it's a sequel, too many system changes for it not to be. They're practically doubling the roster with shadow types.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Apparently Famitsu has confirmed this is a sequel to P4A? Not that surprising really.

Expected, but awesome. I'm thinking there'll be at least 4-6 more characters than Junpei and Yukari.

So now that it's proven that Hashino's blog post about the 25th anniversary announcements we were talking about before wasn't merely restricted to 2014, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.

So can we finally say it.

Next Tuesday.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

So can we finally sat it.

Next Tuesday.

Sure, for once I'm willing to follow that train of thought.

Hell, at least next Tuesday there should be some new P4A2 info.

Ehhhh that's a bit of wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong, I'd be all over it, but that character screen really only has room for two more unless it's a bait and switch.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Elizabeth killed every girl that was in her way, there you go, lots more room!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Nope, I think 4-6 more characters is fully to be expected. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger to Continuum Shift had 8 additional characters, after all.

If you go back to conversations when P4A was first introduced, people were also taking the character select screen at face value, but that proved erroneous. I'm fully confident that 2 additional characters than the ones shown at this loketest wouldn't be enough for a sequel.

 

[cjkeats]

lol. And we just got Yukari too.

Well I'm with you on this one then!

 

[TurnipFritters]

are there even 4-6 persona users left in the p3/p4 verse

also all the previous characters have shadow versions that play differently so there's that

 

[cjkeats]

are there even 4-6 persona users left in the p3/p4 verse

I don't remember,

Spoiler

are Strega all dead?

I know at least one of them is.

 

[Sophia]

ArcSys likes their symmetrical menus, so I'm pretty confident in assuming there will only be two more new reveals. One of which will most likely be the Bigger Bad antagonist from Persona 4 Arena.

are there even 4-6 persona users left in the p3/p4 verse

Protagonist, Ken, Koromaru, Shiniro are unaccounted for as for P3 characters.

Spoiler

That said, two of those four are deceased.

Also Strega.

Spoiler

Who are all dead now.

Plus we have the entire P1/P2 cast, however unlikely it'd be that the Persona 2 cast would appear again.

 

[TurnipFritters]

I don't remember,

Spoiler

are Strega all dead?

I know at least one of them is.

Spoiler

Chidori is alive but an amnesiac, Gin is presumed blown up (but this possibly leaves room to become a bionic robot dude) and Takaya was last seen laying on top of Tartarus after getting whooped

 

[Levito]

Hey Guys a Persona game was announced this month.


Also the Arena 2 announcement podcast has an FGC all star cast, if you got any questions. Post'em here.
