There is a better chance of Dancing All Night being shown at the presser/TGS than Persona 5 at this point.

Oh man, totally. P4U2 at that time was just like meh, specially since we even believed [Redacted] would be only a NPC. But then the Best Buy leak came in, then that boxart with Marie and Margaret, etc. Can't believe there are now over 7 playable characters.

Ha, I remember reading this for the first time last year: http://www.destructoid.com/persona-4-arena-follow-up-starts-location-test-in-japan-260127.phtml
I thought Yukari and Junpei were going to be DLC.
This was the page where P4AU was announced, back in OT2.

Does anyone know when Margaret and Marie will be available to purchase as DLC characters for the Japanese version?
9/25 and 9/11, respectively.

Yeah. And then, out of all the places, Best Buy was the one that made us know about Ken and Rise. Time sure flies.
it was in this week's Dengeki.

Thank you. I'll make sure to get them.

I now retroactively miss Undertaker Yukiko.
The full Famitsu cover for P4A2 looks really good, actually. Rise looks a lot better here than she does in the game proper, at least.

That cover has P4 spoilers (and also reminds me of Dantis art lol)
[Redacted] and Sho look really cool there. Yeah, Rise looks way better.
That sounds like a challenge to Yu.

Mind posting if dual audio exists when you start playing?
What are you talking about?
Dual audio for story mode confirmed.
I'm all up in this story now, finally.
Edit: Not spoilers, but just a comment from the very start of the story:
Right from the start, it's mindblowing that Igor now has a new (English) voice actor with new lines. Heh, "Margaret... [shut up]."
No English text though, if I remember correctly?
Might pop in at the stores to see if local R3 copies (HK/Singapore) carry them.

Dual audio is confirmed, I don't think there is dual text anywhere tho.

There is - the full English script was leaked from the JP version - it's just inaccessible. It's unfortunate that the lack of region lock makes us wait another month for a completed game. Oh well!
I wouldn't think so, all 360 assets were found in the JP version too, and the engine is already running on the 360.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 360 port also plays a role in the delay.

I wonder if they will enable the option in a month
Nah, there's no way English text is ever unlocked for the JP version. Wouldn't be surprised if the English version lacks the option to change text, too.
Edit: Some comments on the voices. Kanji and Naoto's voices are excellent. It's true; they're practically the same as the old voices with minor differences; one probably wouldn't tell if they weren't told their VAs changed. Margaret's is noticeably different, though. Will see if I get used to that one.
Labrys' voice is amazing, as always.

P4U2 for best OST of all time, forever.

The way Sho's forearm points straight out behind Yu's shoulder weirds me out. It's like his forearm is really short and his upper arm is really long.
Now that you mentioned it, all I can see is that Yu has three arms. Noooo.
Also, have fun to those who are playing Ultimax right now!
I always thought that Margaret's voice was egregiously bad (it's so wooden and stilted) - so this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Although her old VA got better in the first Arena (I recall her saying this herself in SlinkFM since the VO director is different)
Her new voice in the character select screen is weird, the way she says Persona really irked me, it sounded like "perSOna" in tone. She also sounded even drier than her old VA in P4
Well, hopefully the full release can change my mind
Why can't Ali Hillis voice new Marge ugh

For some reason this reminds me of the Gurren Lagann image spots. It must be the coloring and shading.
Yeah, that looks loads better.
It's still worse than the Dengeki image, but it looks really good, even so.

I agree, not enough bare chest.
Anyone want to make a wild guess when P4D will re-debut then? I think it'll be two weeks from now. The Tuesday, obviously.
Exactly.
Exactly.

2 weeks maybe, TGS is a week after that so possibly then.
Deep down I think they'll have some sort of announcement next week, but unlikely.
Elliot Gay of Japanator (He's also a gaffer, iirc) reviewed the second Persona 3 movie.

Guys I'm at the start of May now and I can see this game is completely different kind of beast compared to any other RPG I've played. S-links are bloody genious BUT I'm fretting over who to talk to and how to manage my time while visiting Tartarus.
So I had a few questions:
1, Should I go to Tartarus each night or? How often is enough? So far I get like 4-5 exp per fight.
2. Should I concrentate more on S-links or my stats (courage, academics)?
3. When my Persona levels up while fusing and it says "you have gained 2 Strength". Is it MC that gains it or just the Persona? Do these stats carry over even if I change Personas?
4. Will I have time to see most of the stories of characters that I can interact with? Here I am sweating with who to spend my afternoons

You can go about it with any pace that is comfortable with you. If you are concerned about maximizing your time outside of tartarus, once or twice every month. If you beat all the bosses and reach the barricade, it's a good indication that you're strong enough and you don't need to grind.
Prioritize s.links.
It's just the specific persona. Your MC's stats are whatever persona you have equipped at the time + items you are equipped with.
Only with a guide. You should only worry about seeing every story in a second playthrough. It's better to play blind on your first time and be spontaneous.
At this point we're getting so "close" to the theoretical release date of P5 that I'd honestly rather hear about that than P4D.
We can't be more than a month or so away from solid P4D info, unless it's delayed.
A big factor as to why Ultimax's updates were more exciting is because they were a lot closer to the release date. We're still two-three months off of Persona Q in English, versus only a month for Ultimax.
I have a feeling both of them are delayed at this rate. I'm also wondering if they can afford to keep Persona 5 on only the PS3 given the popularity of the series outside of Japan now.

I think because it is a continuation of the story it's inherently more exciting too.
