She's described as an elevator girl from the Velvet Room. It's also says that she came to Yasoinaba for her "goal".
The Google translation seems pretty legit.
I'm making my online title 'eighty rice feather' if possible.
Nothing terribly important, I think. As far as I can tell it just says something about her being a resident of the Velvet Room and coming to Inaba for a purpose?
Yeah, it was the latter part I was wondering about. OG Shadow Labrys' story bit actually hints at her being relevant to the P4AU story because of how it says something like "But she should have disappeared...", so I was wondering if this was another case of something like that.
Thanks for the clarifications.
Edit: Translation of the Famitsu article from Shoryuken. Ken and Koromaru are actually "reserve members" of the Shadow Ops, so they usually don't see a lot of action.

Thanks for this Levit0 and Slink crew.
Im still playing Fes, i doubt i could bring myself to play p3p even though i really would like to do those extra slinks
Really? I think his voice is awesome. He sounds like an insane crazy person.
Congrats on becoming a full member.
Am i right in assuming there's 5 new modes outside golden arena mode? Or is it the same situation as the characters(arcade, versus, and options are apparently "new" modes)

Now despite my earlier comments about PK Gaming calling everyone's waifu a slut (which is still true) I haven't actually played a Persona game.
From what I can tell P4 seems to switch between happy/goofy and serious/dark tones very well which Earthbound also does and I hold that game on a pedestal, so that's a good start.

Makes sense they're reserve members. Ken's still a kid (not even as old as the rest of SEES was during P3) and Koromaru's a dog.
Sounds like it, at least in terms of pertaining solely to the story, which sounds about right. Definitely exciting.

This may not have any relevance, but at least on the mobile site for P4U2, even though they have the "New Comer" spot for Ken on the characters page, the gray "Coming Soon" spot is still there as well. Maybe they're not done with new characters?

Im gonna play devils advocate and assume that spot is for Shadow ken. Would love to be wrong.
Then again even if it is, there are still 2 television spaces on that page, so who knows.
I bet its for Koro
Don't play with my heart.

Chie's birthday is 5 days after mine. Also share sign with her. Thats pretty cool!
Im relived she is most near character and I don't have something like Ken near lol
I noticed, I always thought of it as a recurring joke.

Personasama confirmed Skullgirls 2 on this episode, huge get for us. (obvious jokes)
This will come handy for my drawing session today. Thanks!
It's there on the desktop version of the website as well, on the second page.
Hard to say either way. I've been expecting at least one more character myself, though. I think we'll know for sure if it means anything when Ken is officially added. If his page incorporates Koromaru and the Shadow Ken page is there as well, but that slot is still there, it probably means something.

Nope, but I'm pretty sure something somewhere said Margaret is staying in the Velvet Room. Or I just made that up, you decide.

Who seriously cares about Famitsu reviews though. If you do, you shouldn't.

I'll bet that there are no more unrevealed
characters in Ultimax. The Best Buy ad was pretty clear about six new characters.
non-DLC
So apparently, Atlus is now handling Persona 4 Arena in Europe:
This was posted on that weird Persona Europe Facebook page made by Zen.

Zen please, they're probably just posting that so people don't get mad at them.
The day Atlus actually take charge and publish in Europe is the day SMTIV gets released.
Actually, this might just be digital titles only, in which case it makes sense

Junpei, Yukari, Rise, KoroKen, Sho and PerSHOna make six. Sorry to say, but that's probably all we're gonna get in terms of non-DLC characters.
I'm fine with this.
I come bearing a Sho trailer in English! As it turns out, the only thing you need to be the biggest bad guy around is to have puns worse than Teddie's and boy does he have them in spades!
God speed, Atlus USA. Some of the ones he throws even just in this trailer are real head scratchers. Hope you're getting paid the good bucks to figure this stuff out in English~

「皆を死体にしたい」 - That's painfully lame D:

I think that description is outdated. Not to say that it was false, but I think it got replaced with a new one that doesn't even mention Rise or Ken for a reason.
You're never the only one, but I also don't think it's awful at all. "Friendship is true strength" isn't much better if you're going to criticize that stance.
Lollipop Dave

It's equally awful as 'friendship and bonds'.

dat Bob Ross reference XD
Valid. Fortunately, that isn't quite so on the nose outside of Arena's story with Elizabeth. Which was also extremely bad.
I feel like that's what P4's villain could have been, but then they decided to go a more subtle route.
I mean, P4's villian essentially says the same thing, it's just less obvious.
I actually don't remember the P4 villain saying that. Sho just feels really lame though. "I'm going to burn everything and everyone because I don't like anything RAAAAAARGH".
Yuck.
I spent like a half hour thinking that up! Aren't you proud of me!?
LOL.

I just want Sho and SHO to form an alliance called 2Pun Crew, is that too much to ask?
...I mean thank you very much for translating the trailer as usual o/
Spectrasonic

P4U ends with Sho realizing how important friends are and starts a social link with Yu.
I guarantee that it will end with Sho learning about the power of friendship.
It's going to be as bad as the Ameno Sagiri fight in the P4 anime.

So proud, I'm going to have to lie down.
It's basically anime villain 101.

edited my post already to reflect this.
for content: Sho faces:
I'm calling dibs, anyone who wields dual swords is awesome in my book.
That's what I'm saying: P4's villian is essentially making the same "friendship is useless" case, he just never outright says it. Any antagonist in this series is essentially going to make that point, since the game's core themes are around building bonds in order to find truth/accept death/whatever P5's themes are.
I'm agreeing with you. When you say it at face value, like Sho is, it obviously sounds a little corny.
I guess, like you say, it's about the presentation.
When does the P4 protagonist say it though? I genuinely don't remember him mentioning friendships or bonds or whatever.
I can't really think of any character in the entire Persona series who based their motivations around isolation and the rejection of social bonds, whether it be protagonist or antagonist.
Closest I can think is, like, P3M #1 Makoto, but that's just apathy.
Edit: Oh, there's also EP Tatsuya, but that's a bit different as well.

That's because it's a really bad motivation. The idea of a character who 'just wants to see the world burn' is such a lazy and nonsensical choice.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a character who's just evil for the sake of being evil, but like everything it has to be done right.
Um, if you say so. In my opinion, it's all about the execution, and there have been antagonists with that goal who have been developed greatly in the past.
Well, just going off the trailer, he does seem rather simple minded for a villain. I guess that's what SHO is for huh.
animaSerah
Member
Yeah, that's my feeling too. Obviously Minazuki has to come into play as well at some point, and we know next to nothing of his motivations other than he may be Malevolent Entity. Sho being set up as a loner and anarchistic character likely makes him a good vessel for the ME, assuming that's in fact what happens.

I assume at the end of the day he's still a kid, right? Can't be too complex.
(sorry to all the masters of evil youth clubs out there)
