They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case I'm not so sure....
That's actually kind of a sad realization. >_>

Does P4 Arena Ultimax include story from basic P4 Arena ?

It costs $10 to unlock.

I've started playing PQ. Four hours in and I'm on the second floor of the first dungeon. Methinks this might take a while.
I'm approaching 60 hours and I'm not even on the final dungeon yet
Depends how familiar you are with RPGs in general probably. P4G is probably one of, if not the, easiest Persona games, so normal isn't a bad idea. Failing that, easy also works. The main problem with the game is it doesn't explain the systems in it very well. Best I could tell you to would be to jump in and enjoy, and if you need something explained as it pops up, feel free to ask about it.

I'm pretty good with RPGs. Played a lot of them throughout the years, just not much on the highest difficulties

Then I'd go with normal. Hard is probably too much on a first play through with an unfamiliar battle system, even if the game is very front loaded in terms of it's difficulty.
I mean, don't get me wrong, the battle system isn't all that complicated(hit an enemy's weakness, the character gets another turn, enemy hits your weakness, enemy gets another turn), but a lot of the battles are about the prep work beforehand(getting different personas with different skills to hit different weaknesses while trying not to get whacked by an enemy hitting yours) rather than fights being too hard.
To that end, the best advice I'd probably give you is to keep your main character's personas current. The party members you'll get only have their Persona's level, while the MC has his own level and then equips different Personas(these equipped Personas have their own level and earn their own experience). Since the MC's personas usually take 2.5x the amount of experience to level than the regular party member's do, it's easy to find yourself getting whalloped without knowing why when your party is lv25 and you're using a lv15 Persona.
Still, something like this is not something you'll probably have to worry about even in your first dozen hours of game, so just have fun.
Exactly. Highly doubt he purposely set himself on fire.
Warms my crusty heart to know TATS-MAN still places so highly. I wouldn't be surprised if these inserts are so high on the virtue of their designs.
Yosuke's position is merited given how big a character he is in P4. Arena's manga even took his route, haha. Naoto's the real surprise to mre, even though she has a book now.
I'm at the beginning of the fourth dungeon clocking 43 hours and that's with doing most of the sidequests.
Play on normal. Don't use a social link guide. Don't worry about mis-managing your time, just enjoy yourself.
Seriously this. Just relax and play, the deadlines are easy to meet. Also make sure to fuse your personas, even if you think you don't really need to. Fusing is better than leveling them up by battling.
Yeah, this is the way to go the first time through a game. I don't much like being tied to guides anyway.

Speaking of Max S.link guides, I used one for the trophies on P4G.
What trophies do you think there will be for P5 and P4DAN?
P5 will more than likely have story progression, compendium completion, and S.Link ones (provided they return), but what else could they put in there that wouldnt feel like a repeat from P4G?
And as for P4DAN, I have no idea what those trophies are going to be like. I would assume some for story, some for score, but other than that, not a clue.
Any thoughts?

Finally! Like others have said, take your time and enjoy the ride. You might feel overwhelmed with the rules of the world at first (juggling events, school, dungeons, all within a fixed calendar) but remember you can always be doing something productive with your time -- be it social linking with your bro, doing a part-time job, or just scarfing a beef bowl downtown.
Also, remember to take a matching persona with you on S. Links. For example, take a Magician arcana persona when you hang out with Yosuke. It'll help speed along the S. Link process. That's kind of an important thing that I'm not sure the game really stresses.
Anyway, I'm so excited for you to dive in! Keep us posted on your progress here or on twitter! Enjoy Dawgson~!

Multiplayer trophies.

My guess is a lot of stuff about little odds and ends about town, similar to the beef bowl trophy from Aiya or the fishing trophy. What exactly you'll have to do will depend on what's in P5's world guess.

Probably trophies for clearing songs on the different difficulties, and for getting the bonus on every track. If it's like the Project Diva games then they'll be a lot tied to item unlocks and DIVA mode equivalent stuff, although I never really touched that aspect when I played them, so I don't really know how those work. Although since it's just Atlus working on it now, it could end up being quite a bit different from those games.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 was pretty bad for it.
IIRC, there was only one DLC that was important to the story. For some reason they're the scapegoats to a lot of things.

Glad to see Yosuke being the second

Maybe they could fix that if their DLC went on sale half as often as their games.

Welcome Dawg. Don't worry too much about difficulty, just take your time and enjoy the game. It'll be way easier to get full completion on your second play through.

People couldn't handle it if they bought over an equivalent to the Diva Room. People would see no more of the game than that, spending as much time as possible just stroking Chie's face.

I hope Teddie dances in his human form.
I'm just saying I'd spend actual dollars on Koromaru DLC. Because the man who animates a dog dancing sick dance moves deserves extra dollars. And because the only way to make Koromaru's character premise any sillier is to add the phrase "does sick dance moves" to "psychic albino shiba inu who fights the shadowy embodiment of human mental juice with a knife."

Hardcore Risette fan 2: Now with more frustration
I got this trophy my first playthrough without even knowing it existed, hahaha.
Persona Q, Evil Spirit Club, Floor 3
Yukiko correctly points out that after Senpai, Kanji and Rise have the most chemistry with each other.
I was literally dancing with joy when I got to that segment
Hehe, I remember when I was seriously arguing against someone who didn't believe that was the case
Atlus's got my back

I also felt a good deal of joy in Persona 4 Golden when Ms. Sofue said "I don't know how much the rest of you know about history (I'm an expert)"
Yeah, probably Kobe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Island
The map is pretty similar in appearances too.
