Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Out in NA, It's Time You Burn That Dread

[Rutger]

Looks like the NA PS3 version will be region locked, that's interesting.

Also Atlus games PSN sale this month. Cathrine for $20, sounds like a good time to finally get that.

Well, that'll cut down lag, but can they really like...enforce that? I mean, I guess they can make the NTSC, PAL, and Japan versions have different servers, but still. Hm, will the NA release at least have a training/practice mode?

 

[Rutger]

I don't remember anything being said about netplay, all the regions should still be able to play together as far as I know.

It means that a NA copy of Persona 4 Arena will not work on an EU PS3.

Ohhh. Well, I figured that was the case with most games anyway. Looks like I fail for not reading the article.

 

[Rutger]

Nope, most PS3 games are region free.


Edit: Aigis, Akihiko, and Mitsuru movelist + voices.

I have to admit Akihiku looks kinda boring. Not sure what to make of Aigis and Mitsuru.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I actually think Akihiko looks like a super ultra badass. He's one of the characters I look forward to.

I think the majority of the P4 cast looks boring, tbh. Except Yukiko. Even if I do like the game better than P3 atm.

To each his own, I guess.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I think all of the characters look fun to play as right now.

This is the first fighter (outside of GG) that I've been genuinely excited about in a long while.

[Rutger]

I would say that some of the characters looked boring if it wasn't for the Persona mechanic, it makes even the strait forward characters like Yu interesting imo.

 

[HariKyuubi]

So, basically, Naoto is a trap character in this?

Spoiler

Makes perfect sense for her.

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWJBUDtK4YQ

edit: Fixed link.

 

[Rutger]

I like the opening, feels like it fits this game.


Here is a picture from the ending of Persona 4 the Golden as well.

[/COLLAPSE]

Hahaha, Kanji, what happened to you? XD

This game isn't enough for me to get a PS Vita, but it really makes me want one.

 

[Lythium]

His face.

I died.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Uh, well, okay then. I'm admittedly so lost I'm not sure which of the 2 guys in that picture is Kanji, lol.

 

[Rutger]

Yeah, you're really lost if you think there are only two guys in that picture. :3

Kanji is all the way on the right.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

If I knew Rise was going to look like that, I might as well make her my main girl, lol.

Chie and Naoto are looking more feminine too, me like :]

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, you're really lost if you think there are only two guys in that picture. :3

Kanji is all the way on the right.

Oh right, there's 3. And I thought that was Kanji in the back right, but well...also thought I was crazy.

 

[Rutger]

There's four actually.

Though it is understandable if Teddie confuses you. He did win a crossdressing contest after all. :/

 

[Lythium]

Teddie is awfully pretty.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Wait...isn't Teddie that weird round and fat robot/whatever the heck it is is thing in P4U? There's TWO Teddie's?

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Unless you want us to spoil the story, you'll have to play the game yourself xD

I'll just assume it's a Cait Sith style situation and we can all smile and be on our ways.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Heh heh heh.

 

[Lythium]

You should just play it, Livewire.

It's reaaaaaaally good.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I'm sure I will at some point. I just want to make sure I can get a 3DS in a bit in the meantime.

 

[Lythium]

Pssshht, 3DS.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Pssshht, 3DS.

Ack, Lythi. My wound, that salt. How harsh, lol.

 

[Minato]

Pssshht, 3DS.

But... Zero Escape, Lythium. You can't deny him that.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, it's true. I can't. :3

 

[LivewiresXe]

But... Zero Escape, Lythium. You can't deny him that.

First reason for buying it, yo.

 

[Rutger]

Achievement/Trophy list is out for anyone that cares.

The Combo Master one shows us that there are over 300 challenges.


New trailer as well.

[arturefo]

aigis remember me of lambda's playstyle.good zoning and good rushdown.the best in the game in orgia mode,imo.i'm looking foward to play with her.

nice trailer,by the way.it makes me even more hype for the game.

I'm passing on a 3DS for now and getting a Vita. I gotta have my Persona 4 Golden.
I'll get a 3DS when I see MH4, FE, and SMT4 here,

along with a built in second analog.

I actually think she's mostly rushdown, personally. Her long range attacks aren't effective as Yukiko.
She has limited bullets, and that one really good special with the missiles is only done in Orgia mode.

I'll probably be putting in time for 4 characters once this game's out. Aigis, Naoto, Elizabeth, and Akihiko.
Yuu on the side as well, I guess, since I know I do well with that style.

yeah,she is more of a rushdown character for sure.but i still think she has a great zoning too,even if its worse than yukiko's(she is pure zoner,so she have to be the best in the zoning skills).

i'll try to make aigis my main,but i want to play with naoto,chie,yukiko and mitsusu.

 

[Minato]

The qualified players for P4U at Tougeki/SBO http://www.dustloop.com/forums/content.php?403

The character total breakdown is definitely interesting and matches the current tier list pretty well.
I'm surprised that there's only 1 Naoto and how there are 3 Shadow Labrys players.

 

[arturefo]

i expected more regular labrys too.

 

[Lythium]

I feel like (from what I've seen anyway) that vanilla Labby has a lot of weird flaws and match-ups.

Fuuka announcer, I assume DLC? Hopefully her English VA will do better than in P3.

I'd love to know how much the DLC will cost, oh well, just 19 more days.

 

[Two-Ell]

Posting for sub. Lol, I was just about to ask in the BB thread when this thread was gonna be started.

[Lythium]

Fresh from Japan:

S: Aigis, Mitsuru
A: Teddie, Akihiko, Yu, Yosuke, Chie
B: Shadow Labrys, Labrys, Yukiko, Kanji, Naoto, Elizabeth

Also, according to stunedge, the worst match-ups in the game are most likely Mitsuru vs. Elizabeth, S. Labrys vs. Yukiko, and Elizabeth vs. Kanji, which are all probably close to 7:3.
