Where do you find this? If it involves scans, then I'll look for it myself.
For the next character reveal, I'm betting on Makoto or Fuuka.
We have no information concerning whether or not Marie is related to the story, however this has been the modus operandi for literally every character who's part of the roster currently, for Atlus' motivations behind character choices for the game, and for ASW's character choices behind their own fighting games. I currently see no reason to believe otherwise.
The signs were ones that had been present before the reveal, and were made relevant after it. I had not thought much of them from my natural scepticism, but now they seem far more important to me. Stuff like:
1. Yu Namba's quote after the P4AU exhibition. He said something like: "We already have one DLC character announced... more to come, hey."
2. Special DLC cards. There are going to be 37 of them, and we know [Redacted] is number 035. It is very probable that Marie will be #036.
3. Character screen layout. Not as relevant as the other points, but they'll have to maintain symmetry unless they want it to look like a mess, and in its current design that would require two more additions to the current one instead of one unless they were to completely revamp it. There's also the part where I really think P3 and P4 should have their own rows completely, but that's a lesser point.
4. Every month since April has had its own character reveal. April, May and June, didn't mean too much, but July added onto that is too much. This is combined with the fact that, if Marie was the last character to be revealed, why wouldn't she have been revealed in August as a last promotional boost since she's going to be post-launch DLC?
5. Intuition. I had displayed my confusion previously as to why [Redacted] was revealed so early if he were to be the last character several times. More than two months before the game launch seemed like too much if they were to maximize hype factor when it's something that could have been kept for last. I am now asking myself the same kind of questions when it comes to Marie: why would they not have switched the Marie reveal with [Redacted]'s if she was to be the last? It could be related to P4GA, but I would think the former would be more popular and currently has openly demonstrated ties to the narrative, so it just seems like they would have naturally been the last one instead of Marie.
A lot of that were things I had glossed over before because I doubted any character reveal after June's, but now I'm optimistic on the prospect.

Marie scans are out, she has 5 or 6 persona cards and looks to be sort of a joke character. Jack-in-the-box with Igor, haha.

It says DLC on the site [ http://p-atlus.jp/p4u2/story/ ] , if you're thinking of importing a JP copy, you can download dlc from the JP store fairly easily.

Yeah, someone pm me the scans also. Thanks.
Awesome Lucina pic Dantis.

I see, that's a lot of hints dropped there. I almost forgot about the character cards.
I also think that it wouldn't make sense if Marie is the last character to be revealed. There should be one last character to be revealed to give that extra oomph before the game is released.
Thanks a bunch, silly me didn't even think about checking the official site for info
Well anyway now I see there's also a BGM pack DLC with "Burn my Dread" coming with the LE, so LE pre-ordered. Thanks again

Im more than happy with the current roster. Anything at this point for me is a bonus. But putting Makoto into the game makes sense for a number of reasons. Plus, him being the last character to be revealed will send this game to hype heaven like no other.

I think Makoto is in the game but is story only. Possibility as a playable character but... not keeping hopes up.

I may be setting myself up for disappointment, but I have this feeling that Makoto is the last playable character, and that he is going to actually have an arc to himself. Whether it is via time travel (remembering events from a diff dimension, a la PQ) or whether he is actually
Idk, but just like Flux called, it's my intuition working here. There's just so many factors pointing that way.
I really am setting myself up for disappointment. LOL.

Right, im gonna go and try finish Persona 3. I have two guardians left to defeat in Tatarus. The grinding in this game is a nightmare.

Isn't that what waiting for Persona news is all about, speculation, drama, suspense and waiting. Looooots of waiting.

Try 35 hours non stop of grinding in the answer, then tell me how you feel about grinding in P3 lol
It wasn't so bad in p3 because of school/s-links, and I kinda enjoyed fighting (still love all those animations)
Anyone know when the next Persona related event will be where we can possibly get news on 5? I have trouble believing that we will get a blowout at TGS when the game will be out like two months after that. There has to be SOMETHING in between. I mean I know atlus likes to promote games close to their release but I was thinking something like 6 months.

Yeah, i keep hearing scary things about the answer. I don't think ill have the time to grind for that long. Ill prob get a save file with all the characters maxed out. That way, i can just blow through it at a decent pace.

You might as well just watch The Answer on youtube.
It will?
Oh boy, I just finished FES and started on The Answer a week ago (only a couple of hours in, beat first boss), this kinda talk is making me hesitate picking it up again. It's worth it in the end, though, right?
Most people say no it isn't since what's worth it can just be watched online or something. I suppose it depends how much more you want to play Persona gameplay at the time.
I gotta say I enjoyed it in the end. It took me a few months due to my work schedule though. They kinda hold everything back until the last 2-3 hours of it, the rest is grinding with some fan service scenes. Trust me, you'll be begging to see those few animated cutscenes at the end lol, but it makes it so much better. So yea, I recommend playing it, unless you really are against grinding. Good way to pass the time until these new persona games come out though
I held back from watching the cutscenes on youtube, I wasn't going down that easy. My best friend however, doesn't have the will power/ lazy and won't even try.

Trying to keep myself busy... Destiny beta drops tomorrow so that's good. Any of you bros on it? We should start a PGaf clan lol.

so If I pre-order P4AU and not pick it up day one; Will I still get that day one DLC?

Is the answer really that bad. How much story/cutscenes are there in comparison to the main game?
You'll get more insight on some of the events/ past in p3 for the characters between every few mini boss battles, 2 really cool animated cutscenes in the beggining, and the last few animated cutscenes are all near the end. If you have the time to play it, its not so bad at all. They could have made the pacing a bit better and not made the whole "cycle" so repetitive up until the end. Probably one of the main reasons its a put off to some
Also thanks pan-hime for posting those lyrics! Was driving me crazy trying to decipher them
As long as you download the character the first week the game is out, you'll get him. You don't even need the game yourself.
Atlus did the same with the Japanese narrator voices in Dragon's Crown.

You should be able to download the code regardless of whether you preorder it or not just as long as you do it on the week of release.

She doesn't have the collectedness to be a figure like igor IMO.
Dude, I was kidding. Thought it was obvious with people asking for PMs on this very page.
At the end of P4G, after she is over her angst, I think she's actually pretty collected. I hope P4AU doesn't make her revert back to the way she was initially.

Dammit. Well, it's gone now. I don't read through this thread very often.

Thinking of picking up both those albums myself. £30 forth pair seems fair. No idea, you'll have to let us know!
Yeah when I get into work tomorrow I'll take a look. I'm sure the scans will have already hit by then anyway.
30 quid is pretty good. I paid about 53 dollars (tax in) at Animate and got a free sticker lol.
