I literally just heard this from my brother. P4V will be sweet as it won't cut stuff and will add a lot of stuff. And the fighting game I may just get since it's being done by the same guys as Blazblue.

I'm actually more excited about the fighting game than P4V.

I'd be more excited about P4V if there was a female MC, but I guess they can't use that gimmick again.

Persona Team Intimately Involved in Persona 4 Fighting Game Development

Latest details on this week's unexpected Persona announcement.

Posted on 08.31.2011 at 12:17, by Anoop Gantayat

The big shocker from this week's Famitsu is Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka, an HD fighting game based of Persona 4. A few additional details have surfaced since word of the game first broke earlier in the day.

As detailed earlier (see this story), The Ultimate in Mayonaka is being developed by the BlazBlue staff at Arc System Works. But the Persona team appears to be intimately involved.

Speaking with Famitsu, the game's producer, Arc's Toshimichi Mori, said that he was shocked when Atlus came to them with the offer to work on the title. The BlazBlue team includes many fans of the Persona series, so their motivation for the project was very high, he said.

The Persona team didn't want to just have the BlazBlue team develop the game for them. Instead, they wanted the game to be a joint development project. According to Mori, game's director Takumi Iguchiya (whom you'll recognize as the lead programmer on the BlazBlue series) is working closely with the Persona team.

In addition to the commentary Mori, we have a list of modes that appears in Famitsu:

Arcade Mode: Face off against CPU opponents while following the story
Story Mode: Delve deeper into the arcade mode's story. This will be exclusive to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
Score Attack Mode: Face off against CPU opponents to get the high score
VS Mode: Face off against a CPU or human opponent
Online Battle: Face off against players throughout the world in online combat (I imagine that can be taken as confirmation of an international release...)

The game will include original stories for all its included characters, which come from both Persona 4 and Persona 3. The overarching story is set two yeas after the events of Persona 4. The characters appear on a fighting program called "P-1 Grand Prix."

The Ultimate in Mayonaka will be released first to arcades in Spring 2012. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will follow in the summer.

I'm actually really curious to how they'll implement personas in the fighting game. And I hope the story mode will be as deep as the Blazblue story.

What, why not? I'm enjoying my second playthrough of Persona 3 much more in P3P since I can play as FeMC now. It makes the game feel fresh again.

They have more anime cutscenes too!

But really, apart from the opening that plays before the title screen, the animation in those games is fucking horrible

ditto the one I saw in Catherine. I appreciate the thought, Atlus, but your in-game rendering is a thousand times more expressive than that 2fps bullshit

I'm not going to lie, shirtless akihiko gets me more excited than he should.

This is alarming.

Still probably going to main Chie or Mitsuru though, so at least that's intact.



I guess she's wearing a fur coat, actually? Jesus.

I would like Yukari and/or Minato to be in the game.

Also, to be honest, a general Shin Megami Tensei fighting game would have been better. I mean, we need more Demi-Fiend and Raidou Kuzunoha. Serph as well.

I personally think he's wearing a cape because he's shirtless. He's badass enough to be shirtless but not really.

Edit: Just read somewhere that it's actually not a cape, and it's like a gym jacket or something without wearing the sleeves. Look really close at it.

I mean yeah, it's worn like a cape, but it's not technically a cape, I guess.

Minato deserves a spot in P4u, but it would be nice if there you could have a Persona as a character itself (e.g. Orpheus, Thanatos, Beelzebub?).

Why does Yukiko have more meter than other characters? And yeah, that was pretty boring and it didn't even do that much damage despite using 150 meter.

When you drop below a certain amount of health, you go into some kind of awakening mode and your current and maximum meter increase by 50.

Oh, son of a bitch, looks like Mitsuru is a charge character. I...might have to stick to Chie. Or Naoto.

P4 figures would look so much better if made by goodsmile >:

On the other note, this looks really good, but got to lift my pre-order off cause of my weak money situation.. I kind of regret doing that now. http://www.hlj.com/product/ALT20272

Yeah... ): I think I read somewhere that the designs aren't finalized, so hopefully he'll look better when they're released...

Also, I wonder who the two "secret" characters are. I'd say Dojima/Nanako or maybe human Teddie.

Preordered SMT: Devil survivor 2 and also ordered strange journey at same time. Dunno if i'll actually play the game in near future though because i already have save in Strange Journey where i'm almost at end. I just thought it would be nice addition to collection as it didn't even cost much in play-asia, only 16 bucks. Really hyped over Devil survivor 2, although I know they didn't change really anything in battle system, but story is all that counts for me and I liked the DS1 battle system, so why change?

Speak of the Devil (Survivor), because the site's now up. Wait, 22nd? Thought it was on the 28th.

That answer got me smiling. Glad to hear so i didn't spend my pennies for nothing. And you are right, seems to be 28th. Guess I took false information by browsing amazon and their release dates are never 100% correct.
Hopefully MC isn't jerk in this one, others characters feel quite ok to me. But wow, how could they make the story sound so bland on the site? Still hyped.

Well, I guess that I'm also excited about Devil Survivor 2, since I enjoyed the first game very much. Though, there is one thing that made me think lately, it's about the Persona Fighting Game, and I think noone pointed it out yet. Back then when Akihiko and Mitsuru weren't confirmed as character, I recall that on the website, the part about the characters to be exact, was empty, but the slots were there. Now, all of the ten slots for playable characters are filled (I consider the slot in the middle as the "Random" option, since the P4 MC will most likely be the character in the middle), but if you look at the Special/Twitter Icon-section of the website, there is still one icon missing. I'm wondering which character that could be. Hopefully not Fuuka as another commentator...

Nope, 10 is about normal. There are of course games with much more than that, but 10 is reasonable for the first in a series.

Dammit Remco, we're not looking for words. We're trying to keep this on the down low, so we can pretend to be legitimate.

Apparently some stores broke street date, and that may or may not have caused it to become available by other means.

$40, nah.
I bought a PSP secondhand to play it though, but I wouldn't spend 40 bucks on the game on it's own. I wouldn't spend that amount of cash on any game, though.

It seems like the final character for P4U was revealed. Although there isn't anything on the official website, it seems like there'll be a character named Labrys, at least according to the Megami Tensei-Wiki.Also, since there are already screenshots of her around, I doubt it's a fake. Though, she only appeared in a drama CD of P3 so far... I wonder how she'll be like.
Also, started Devil Survivor a few days ago. It's awesome so far, I have to admit. Favorite character so far would be Ronaldo, although I have to admit that I also like Fumi and Jungo. Maybe my final team will consist of them, then. Don't know how Ronaldo's stats will develop, though, since he didn't join my team up until now...

Fuck Ronaldo. What a douchebag.

My ideal team is Fumi, Makoto and Otome, but I really wish Makoto didn't have so much magic; there are a lot of skills I'd like to use with her but she winds up not having enough str/vit/agi and she's kicking around a bunch of magic that she doesn't need. I think Hinako has a better stat distribution but holy shit is she annoying.

I actually wish I had run with a physical MC this time around, since Fumi is more than adequate for magic.

As far as P4U is concerned, I'm kind of disappointed with Labrys. I'd much rather have had Metis instead if I had to have another robot, but I'd really have preferred some persona 2 cast members or maybe even Raidou or something.

I'm on The Anguished One's route as well, though I can say that I still need a little bit until I'll finish it. Reached the final mission, but I definitely want to get Lucifer before I finish the game to carry it over. I heard that the system how you carry over things is the same like in Devil Survivor Overclocked, so if that's true... then I want to have at least one good demon that I can carry over. Also, my team is almost like I expected it - Jungo and Fumi are in it, though the fourth character is the one of my ending route. Concerning the stats, I decided to go for getting the highest stats for Strength and Agility, the rest for vitality with a little bit into Magic (I think he has 9 points there). And man, Multi-Strike definitely hurts this way. Too bad that four characters couldn't join me, though - I hate it that I couldn't get Hinako and Otome because the Fate Link was too low.
Anyways, I think my next run would be either Ronaldo's or Daichi's route - that depends on my mood, I guess.

Multi-strike is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know what the hell they were thinking with that skill.

Taking a break to play some other games, but I'll probably run through with a physical MC next time around since I really don't need two magical nukers with 5/40/10/20 ish stat spreads.

Persona 3 just won't end D: and good thing too, because one of my only remaining quests left involves Siegfried, which requires Yuko SLink 10, and Yuko keeps getting mad at me for sleeping with other people and idk why but it makes it really hard to max out her SLink

The other is to man-handle the reaper but with a max-stat Persona that still isn't going over too well

Well, at least you're gaining a good Persona for completing that Social Link - Metatron can be useful. Also, can't say that I had trouble with maxing the Social Link fpr Yuko, but Chihiro gave me some trouble to be honest. Though, I think they only start complaining as soon as the Social Link reached Level 7, at least I remember it that way. Though, in Persona 4 it wasn't like that at all - again, if I remember it correctly. Ah well, the Fate System in Devil Survivor 2 works easier, I suppose~.

In Persona 4 the girls can catch you fooling around with other girls (the scenes can be entertaining) but there are no repercussions for it. I really like the Persona 3 approach, where being a selfish douche actually pisses people off

hey not true, I've tried being a gentleman in dialogue options and pissed hormonal women off because idk man they're fuckin' confusing

The one thing I dislike about the Persona games is that they're a chilling reflection (and thereby reminder) of how I just don't understand other people's feelings.

also Persona 4 added a feature to it that Persona 3 didn't have which I really liked, and that was, when being asked to hang out with others, you have "Yes", "Sure, but not right now, I gotta take care of something first", and "No"

Persona 3 I have to be like "oh shit I forgot; I have errands to do at the mall first. No, I'm not hanging out with you" 3 minutes elapse "hey let's do stuff"

oh and I defeated the Reaper last night

I made the lovely mistake of bringing 3 party members with elemental weaknesses to the fight and things got pretty close.

Do NOT Tetrakarn that motherfucker; he just spams Megidolaon if you do and that thing wipes my entire party other than me

So, I just managed it to finish my 2nd run through Devil Survivor 2 during the last weekend. Took Daichi's route this time, and then took the option to kill Polaris. It's a shame I still didn't manage it to complete Yamato's Fate Link, and he was the only one not joining me of those whou would have been possible. Ah well... Anyways, I'll try to get the perfect ending next, along with beating the bonus bosses. The good thing is that I can carry over things that are worth 710 points in total - it's awesome that my long training in the first playthrough paid off, because this way I managed it to unlock 2 titles in my second run that were all worth 200 points.

Finished The Journey, now going through The Answer. The Answer seems to be really stripped down in terms of content, though.

The Answer is deemed abysmal by the internet. I've skipped it.

The Answer is fantastic for its gameplay. Storywise, yeah, not much there.

Metis is the best character in Persona 3, so there's that.

We going through Persona 3 FES/Portable again?

Cause I will not study for my last year of high school to finish that game. I bought this as I almost finished Persona 4 and I don't like P4 any more now. Oh well.

Also, Social Links are way harder...kind of a great challenge to me.

Could someone give a summary of the story? I'm somewhat tempted to play it so I can know what happens with the party after the MC dies

Here's a summary from Wikipedia which I've shortened:

SPOILER
During their last dinner party together, the SEES members discover that they are trapped in their dorm, and that the day March 31 is repeating itself. Later, a large hole opens in the floor of the dorm, and SEES is attacked by Metis, an anti-Shadow weapon similar to Aigis. In the midst of fighting Metis to protect her friends, Aigis's Persona, Athena, transforms into Orpheus, the original Persona of the Protagonist. She also gains the Protagonist's Wild Card ability. Aigis is able to subdue Metis, whose actions were an attempt to end the time skip and save Aigis, who she calls her "sister".

Underneath the dorm is the Abyss of Time, the cause of the time skip. The Abyss contains seven doors, all leading multi-floor dungeons, similar in design to Tartarus. At the top of the seventh and final door, SEES fights a Shadow-like version of the Protagonist. After defeating it, each of them obtain a key. By combining the keys, they would be able to end the time skip and leave the dorm. However, Metis presents SEES with an alternative: they may also use the keys to travel back in time, to before the fight against Nyx and the death of the Protagonist, allowing them to prevent it.

Unable to agree on how to use the keys, the characters determine that they must fight each other to decide. Aigis and Metis claim all eight keys, which fuse into the Final Key. The group then discovers a new door in the Abyss of Time, which they use to travel to the moment the Protagonist sealed Nyx from the world.

Metis explains that the purpose of the seal created by the Protagonist was not to seal Nyx from humanity, but to prevent humanity from calling out to Nyx. However, the malice of the human race manifested in a monster called Erebus, which was able to break through the seal, causing the time skip. SEES fights and defeats Erebus.

After breaking the time skip and exiting through the front door of the dorm with the Final Key, Metis, Aigis, and the rest of SEES are summoned to the Velvet Room. There they learn that Metis is a manifestation of a part of Aigis's personality. Distraught over the death of the Protagonist, she no longer wanted to live like a human, and wished to return to being a machine. However, after being set free from the Abyss of Time, Aigis changes her mind, deciding to continue to attend school, something she had chosen not to do earlier.
