The above image should actually read “New Challanger: Marie” as this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine reveals that Marie is the newest playable character to appear in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.

According to the report, it seems like Marie will be taking a short break from the Velvet Room, and this time, to help her friends out in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax as a DLC character.

HYPE INTENSIFIES

I'm a HUGE fan of the first P4 Arena and I was so psyched to see that they were making a sequel. The inclusion of Junpei and Adachi made me audibly squee. XD

And scans.
Looks like the scans were removed.

She has weather icons above her SP meter, and a jack in the box with Igor's head.

She looks cool, I'm looking forward to seeing how she plays.
We still haven't really seen how Adachi plays, it's probably going to be a while. D:

Margaret confirmed?

 

[Rutger]

Obviously it's just speculation right now, but I've always wanted Margaret so I'm hoping she's in. It's strange to add her to the cover art when there's no other NPC.

Even if she isn't in, I'm already happy with the roster, there's a lot more characters than I expected to get. I'm really looking forward to getting the game and trying things out.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I really was thinking of the possibility of Margaret being in. After Rise and Marie, I had the idea they were just going all out with this.

Much like Adachi, Marie will be free for the first week for NA.
I believe Japan will always have to pay for her, so this is cool for those that don't import. I'm probably not, so I'm happy about this.

Great. All the more reason to buy the game on release, then.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I don't know why, but that hardly matters

 

[Minato]

I would play that.

 

[Rutger]

Margaret is going to be a DLC character too. All we know right now is that she has Yo****sune, Cu Chulainn, and Ardha as personas.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I feel like I called this a while back.

If not here, then in my mind.

Give Fuuka or riot pls

Hello Margaret.

She looks great. I'm going to play her, main, sub, I don't know, but I've wanted her in from the beginning.

 

[Roy-Kun]

Holy crap, Margaret looks crazy awesome to use. Three different Personae to use and that suplex, not to mention Morning Star as finisher.

All of my approval to both Marie and Margaret. I'm still annoyed at Adachi, but eh, I have someone who I can use as a punching bag at least.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Margaret does look pretty awesome.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I knew I was going to like her kit. Yessssss.

That remix of Battle for Everyone's Souls though.

 

[solitonmedic]

I'm loving how Atlus is putting all their effort in crossing over P3 and P4 together in one game, Arena and PQ.

Ken and Naoto are going to be my mains for sure.

 

[DJCrinkleCut]

Margaret looks freaking awesome! Not to mention she uses Yo****sune.
I mean, I'm still going to main Chie, because Chie is my waifu, but I'm definitely going to play Margaret.

 

[Jae]

Margaret's looking great, I'll probably use her alongside with Rise and Yukari as my newcomer playables. C:<

Spoiler

A part of me is hoping that P3MC will be a playable character (story-wise or not). I miss the guy a whole lot and I want his actual canon name to be settled once and for all.

 

[Zankoku]

So is anybody here getting day 1 Japan copy?

 

[Jam Stunna]

I may be getting a Japanese copy soon. A friend of mine has a Japanese PSN account, so we may go half on it.

EDIT- Game is purchased. I have to download it from my friend later tonight.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm really liking Rise.

 

[DJCrinkleCut]

How's Margaret? Out of all the new characters she's the only one that I'm interested in.

 

[Rutger]

Japan will not have her until Sep. 25th I believe.
NA one week after it's released.

There's a video of the three DLC characters, we may not see anything else until she's out.

 

[Minato]

The wait for this game is unbearable. At this point I'm not sure if I'm even going to get into it competitively if I have to wait four more weeks.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I should give you Demon's Souls so you can wisely spend your time.

But yeah... I'm in the same boat.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Adachi looks pretty neat

 

[Minato]

Adachi looks pretty neat

We still need to play Jam. I finally got the game.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Definitely. Prepare yourself for my totally garbage Rise. I'm going to pick up Marie and Adachi this weekend too and give them a try.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm really liking Margaret, alot more than Rise. Some of her stuff is so off the wall (2A, 2B and her sweep are all pretty different), but she's fun and her moves make sense together to me together. I think I want to explore her alot more. Unfortunately my stick is out of commission right now, so i'm stuck fumbling around with a pad until I get a new one.

 

[Zankoku]

Game comes out in North America tomorrow! Hope to see a bit of activity then.

 

[Minato]

More players would be nice. This goes for UNIEL too.

 

[Rutger]

The game will be out tomorrow. :D

New game means the old list of IDs and Tags is no longer relevant, so I've deleted all of them except for the few I know imported, and myself. I don't have anyone's characters though.

If you want your name added, just post it like so:
