So it's not a One Piece CC2 fighter?

I honestly think that the Arena games would be even better if ArcSys put the same attention to detail into them as CC2 did into Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Every single frame and animation is pitch-perfect.

Don't get me wrong; the Arena games have crazy awesome sprites, but when you can make multiple 10+ minute videos compiling the shout-outs to the source material, you know you've struck gold.

So I'm guessing this is a bad thing. Or am I supposed to be excited?
Right now the only other game I'm hyped for is PQ. But I don't even have a 3DS.
In P5 do you think they're going to have any arcana outside of the standard Thoth deck (Aeon, Jester)? If they add more, they might need to extend the amount of time that you stay in town before the protagonist inevitably has to part with his friends so it's possible to max s-links (unless they want to keep it impossible).
I really like some of the character interactions and stuff with certain match ups, if that counts. Sprites are pretty good and some of the moves are references to their P4 counterparts. Pretty much all of redacted's quotes. Also story dialogue between characters.

Oh yeah, but I think that's just impossible with a sprite-based fighter like P4A. Taunts along with custom intros and win poses based on MUs could have helped for that, but CC2's objective wasn't to make a fighting game with ASB, but to make a "Jojo game" (hence why it's a pretty bad fighting game). If P4A had 3D models instead of sprites, it'd probably have dynamic camera angles and a bit more of those kinds of touches like Xrd does.
To be fair, what detail would they draw from? The character's idle poses in-game? Persona doesn't have a 20 year going strong manga to pull individual frames of inspiration from.
It's a fighting game; I want that flair, as well as attention to detail in respect to how the characters fight. P4A does both.
I disagree. Some characters are well portrayed (Elizabeth and Naoto come to mind). Others are badly portrayed (Narukami). Others are horrendously portrayed (Teddie)
Teddie, sure. He can't do half the stuff that his fighting game equivalent can (I personally don't mind this, but I can see why people would).
I don't get the Narukami one though. What did they do wrong?
Exactly, which is why the few exceptions aren't a big deal.
Too 'swag'. Animates like a shonen anime character.
But anyway, I don't mean to get into an Arena bashing thing. I do actually like Ultimax.
Didn't think of this, it's actually a pretty agreeable criticism. Though I'd still contribute his 'swag overload' to the games general flashiness; Yu's attacks themselves (without all the effects) are really just bland sword swings.
Though despite possibly being the worst offender of being too 'swag', I'll always love cross slash.
Are you referring to his idle animation? It's justified, given he has to use his free hand to crush his Persona card / jab.
It's not any more 'shonen' than most of the fighters in this game.
Right, and that's why they're wrong.
That's what I had in mind, though I don't think that's really a justification since he could always take his hand off his sword (though that'd require more animation and thus is unfavourable).
Again though, I was just saying what I've seen others complain about, I don't have a problem with it myself.

CC2 are one of my favourite developers. .Hack games are amazing and the Naruto series have some of the best cut-scenes/animations going and lets not forget Asuras Wrath. Just forget about the .Hack fighter that came with the anime discs. That was pretty bad.
FUN FACT:
.Hack is the reason I got into Persona. My friend used to talk about .Hack constantly, and when I got a PS2 because I was sick of all the shootybang games on my 360, I figured I'd give it a go...
Except I misremembered and bought Nocturne, Persona 3 and DDS instead, thinking that Shin Megami Tensei was the series that he'd been talking about. Whoops!
About a year after that I bought the first .Hack and absolutely hated it. Funny that. Imagine if I'd got it in the first place? Things would probably actually be rather different.
This post had better be ironic.

THAT or it's a P2 game being used to help drum up support for the P2 anime!
...
Right?

I'm gonna regret this, but what is this "Meatsuru" thing?

So Sleeping Table... yeah... is the only way to get past this to grind? As far as I can tell I have no way to prevent almighty damage
It was the worst, most despair inducing incident in PersonaGAF history.
A long time ago, an acerbic and bitter Persona 2 fanboy was annoyed at how well received Persona 3/4 were. When he couldn't bear the good vibes any longer, he'd post a fat fetish image of Mitsuru (the image itself was literally gigantic) and then act coy and play dumb, even though it was extremely patently obvious what his intentions were.
He did this 2-3 times and eventually stopped once a mod told him to cut that shit out. To this day, he still takes potshots at Persona 3/4 fans, and paints them under the same brush.

Yeah I just went back to that page and saw that image...
Also RIP in peace Smed.
And what's so about this page other than the Swag OD?

Pretty much.
Smedwicks requested a temp ban to focus on school.
And the meme is painfully overdone at this point, and I have a much higher tolerance for them than most people.
He did it on purpose, he'll be back.

Why did they ruin the Persona 3 characters?
Rather have a Raidou game be made by Platnium honestly.
I don't know what I'd prefer in terms of a hypothetical studio collab. (actually, I do know and it'd be a Persona Ace Attorney or Danganronpa game, but that ain't happening), but I do think that, if P Studio is going to do it again, CC2 might be more likely than Platinum. They excel at different things, though a Platinum game would most likely play better.

What, you mean you don't like cape hobo, gimp suit fencer, baseball man, and Power Ranger girl? They were the best in their game of origin and incredibly true to character. lol

Sleeping table was brutal, came down to getting lucky with it not casting megidola and missing evil touch/hamaon while using magic mirror and revolution to pray for crits or free 200 magic counter damage. Glad I didn't have to grind though (was 41 mc 37-39 party)

That's... awful...
Unfortunately, I guess I saw this same picture on deviantart.. and it wasn't only Mitsuru. I just ask myself why.
And the guy is still around?
I have a terrible confession to make.
Yes, he goes by a different name now.
I don't remember the last time he came here, actually.
I found the Arena versions of the P3 characters more interesting than the originals. Not nearly as complex or really dignified, but consistently more entertaining.

Speaking of meat, Erin Fitzgerald did this a couple years ago.
There's no music, but I asked her to sing Meat Destruction.
