Spoiler http://gematsu.com/2013/08/persona-4-arena-sequel-announced Well, even though Atlus is still to be bought (which is most likely going to happen by the end of this month or the beginning of September by Sega or Nintendo) Arc System Works (developers of P4A) have begun public testing (in Japan) out for two new characters for the sequel, Junpei Iori and Yukari Takeba. Also according to Arc System Works, there is going to be a third character added, my money is on Minato or Adachi. We will most likely hear more about this when Atlus is bought, and hopefully we will get a western localization :3 Thoughts?
this is awesome news! i didn't think they would create a fighting game sequel to P4A. even though the events from P4A were hardly resolved, i thought it would be some material for Persona 5. but this works too. though, i 'm not too crazy about Junpei's present look. it took me a while to warm up to Akihiko and Mitsuru's present day appearances so maybe i'll change my mind. as for this rumored 3rd character, i don't think it would be Minato (well, Persona 3 players should know why i have doubts) even though that would be awesome. i hope that's true. it is certainly possible for a DLC way of doing this, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is also doing something similar to this with an DLC expansion method or new disc. so it's a possibility.
THIS JUST IN! Every character in the game will now have a "shadow" version of themselves and they will all be playable and have different move sets!
huh, i suppose it'll be like Labrys as opposed to Shadow Labyrs. though i didn't think Shadow Labrys would be back given the events that happened in the game. also i didn't notice it before but it seems like they are using more of a Persona 3 style color scheme in the HUD. by using blue instead of yellow.
some gameplay videos have surfaced. they were taken at the arcade test locations in Japan. i got these links from a website called Dustloop Persona 4 Arena Location Test // Elizabeth vs Junpei 1 Persona 4 Arena Location Test // Elizabeth vs Junpei 2 Persona 4 Arena Location Test // Elizabeth vs Junpei 3
dumb name, but good news! it's too bad they showed us nothing about the new guy. i like the new attacks that they gave the old characters. it also makes me wonder how they adjusted the balancing of the characters as well.
