is there an option to rematch cutscenes in pq? like eou?
Eh...
Version 2.00 (set for Arcade release in January) will definitely come to consoles as a patch.
There will definitely not be a new Arena game in 2015.
There will be a new Arena game eventually.
or maybe a PS4/One version of Ultimax
Nope, I'll say it right now: no chance. Vita is possible, but kind of unlikely. No way would P4AU be on the Xbox One when it wasn't on the 360 in Japan; the NA PS3/360 situation was already pretty unusual. As for a PS4 version of it? It'd require a substantial, EX/Ultra-like update to justify it, and I really don't think that's happening with P4AU.
Game sold really well and was critically well received, just like its predecessor. Maybe the P4AU art book even hints at a sequel like the P4A art book did. The series will come back, just not soon.
Edit: Also, since I'm stating what will definitely be happening in the future: there will definitely be a new P Studio game announcement in 2015.

Go vote for Persona and all those other great Atlus and non-Atlus RPGs, people.

I just noticed his tongue is hanging out. Oh god, I feel like he's staring into my soul. Upon looking closer, I feel like Yukari's is the creepiest, I can't handle it.
That Shadow art is divine wallpaper material.
I thought it was awesomely hilarious.
She looks like something just took a shit on her porch.

I finished Persona 4 The Golden yesterday.
Had the bad ending. In before "You havent seen the real one bla"
I saw it on YouTube. Alright!
I hate Teddy so much. As a bear he was alright in the beginning. But I hated his all attitude later on.
Rise was my favourite waifu.
Marie was fun. Should have done more with her.
They story was interesting.
The city itself got a lil boring later on. Looking forward to be in a big one in P5.
Very good game tho. I think that was the first JRPG since FF X I actually finished.

Watch some videos of Teddie in Japanese. It will make you love what you have in the English release.
Should of kept multiple saves Bla, you missed about 20+ hours of extra gameplay and about three dungeons.
Go on Persona 3:FES next if you like P4, the dungeons are a little more repetitive but I honestly prefer the darker story in 3.
*shudders*
Wait bad ending? That is missing 3+ dungeons and a couple months of in game.
Its hard to consider the bad ending a completion of the game when it cuts you off from the last three dungeons, many story revelations, and many hours of gameplay.
Looks like Creative Uncut got some Persona Q art up. Most of it has been seen already, but it is nice to see the early Rei and Zen designs in high resolution.
Yeah, I played P3: FES right after P4G and ended up liking it even more than P4. Definitely give it a shot.
I got the bad ending on my first playthrough of P4 and was so disappointed. I thought the developers ran out of time and had to rush the ending or something.
Thankfully I kept a save handy and was able to go back and experience the true ending after checking if I missed something on the internet.
I was shocked how much content could be missed considering it's pretty easy to miss the true ending without knowing about it beforehand.
Persona 4 Golden warns you about it, at least. Even offers to let you save when it does so you don't have to repeat as many cutscenes. Doesn't quite tell you just how many endings (eight) there are tho.
I like the Rei on the right in this one.
Indeed. That one's pretty good.
Both Zen's look better than the final one does. Should have used one of those as the base and mixed it with the final's skin and hair color. (I'm assuming part of why they were scrapped was because they look too similar to Yu.

Aegis doesn't have that PTSD 1000 yard stare in those early iterations either.

Did you know Soejima worked on Another Century's Episode?
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ace/ace3.htm
Neither did I:
Obviously Stella Deus era, but hey, that's not a bad thing.

OOH! OOH! PICK ME!
I KNEW!
On a vaguely relevant note, I have no idea what Another Century is. I've just seen Soejima's art for it. He did some illustrations besides those designs, too. Also it's P3 FES era, not Stella Deus. 2006 as I recall?

Weird, isn't it? It's kind of unintuitive. You'd think you'd have to use <Element> Wall or something.
I knew he worked on Another Century's Episode 3. He didn't work on any other installments of it however.
Another Century's Episode is basically a giant action game crossover between anime mecha shows. Things like Gundam, Eureka Seven, Getter Robo, etc. Most of the characters in the game are taken from their respective shows, but there are a few original characters.
Of the three original characters above that Soejima did, the red-head in blue is Barrel Orland. He's the hero of the game. The girl in blue is Fei Roshande, the heroine of the game. The red head in grey is Belkt, who is the rival/antagonist character.
Perhaps most interesting? Barrel and Belkt are both voiced by Daisuke Namikawa. The same VA behind Yu Narukami.
I've heard R is rather sub-par, which is why I didn't import it. ACE3 is all sorts of awesome tho.
Yes
Similarly, Dekaja cancels Mind Charge, Power Charge, Bestial Roar... any sort of buff, really. This is because all buff and debuffs fall under the same type. (unlike in Persona 3/4 where stat buffs, power charge/mind charge and elemental resistances were separate types)
I hope P5 uses a similar system. I'm very glad that Dekunda is mildly useful this time around.

Whhhhhhhhhhhhat
Wait, if an enemy uses Dekaja would it cancel out Fuuka's end turn heals too?

Well, what the fuck. This is the first time previous SMT experience has actually worked against me.
Damn. Well, better late than never to know that stuff.

Fuuka's passive healing is counted as a buff, and dead party members lose it. They also don't regain it upon revival even if it's still active on other party members.
So yes.

The conclusion of the Hermit link is amusing.
If you want to break the endgame, (not a story spoiler)
max out the Devil and Star links.
Mitsuru will get you killed at one point in time.

- a general guide to tartarus: focus on getting to the highest floor available, then use the extra time afterwards to level up, get items, etc. generally if you get to the top floor you should definitely be prepared for the "story" bosses.
- multiple saves in case one of the aforementioned story bosses screws you over.
- this game is definitely harder than P4. some of the tartarus bosses are huge assholes. also the "one more" system (I think that's the name of the persona combat system) is much more strict than in P4.
- essential S. Links are Sun and Hermit, I'm partial to Lovers as well but I suppose that depends on your opinion of Yukari.
- Junpei is da man
It is. The system makes it so if you do something, it needs to hit a weakness to proc the "one more". If you're using maragi for example, every single enemy it touches has to be hit by it for a weakness. If it hits 3 of 4 mobs because it missed 1, no one more. If it hits all 4 but it only has 1 enemy weak to it, no one more.
Of course, this also works for enemies too so they can't spam aoe spells if only one teammate is weak to it. There's also the idea of the system being largely exploitable. P3 FES doesn't have the "dizzy" status effect, just knocking an enemy down by hitting it's weakness will cause it to lose it's turn. You can keep a lot of the harder mini boss fights stun locked in this fashion.
I'll also give you this handy idea on Tactics, since you cannot ever directly control your team mates in P3 FES. Keep in mind some of these Tactics may not be available until further in the game:
Act Freely - Will hit an enemy's weakness if it's known, then repeat it to further damage the same enemy. Will heal any character(if able) below a 33% threshold.
Heal/Support - Will hit an enemy's weakness if it's known, then repeat it to further damage the same enemy. Will heal any character(if able) below a 66% threshold. If the ally knows any buff or debuff spells, will use them if they're not currently active on anyone.
Full Assault - Will hit an enemy's weakness if it's known, then repeat it to further damage the same enemy. Will never do any kind of support in this role at all, regardless of what's happening around them.
Knock Down - Will hit an enemy's weakness if it's known. Once it's knocked down, will move to the next enemy in the fight. If they don't have an elemental weakness(or a known physical weakness to what they can do), they will just physically attack hoping to land a critical strike. If no enemy is available to attack(everything knocked down/enemy is immune to what they can do) will automatically pass their turn. NEVER attacks a downed enemy, NEVER does any kind of support in this role at all, regardless of what's happening around them.
There are others, but those are the biggies. A lot of people see themselves getting "game over"s at first when jumping into this because a teammate that has a heal spell didn't heal the MC and they don't know why. Managing tactics is the key to using the game's battle system.
