loving what :psyduck:

This basically sums up my feelings.
Never in a million years did I expect something like this to be dropped. A loving fighting game?! When the FF series announced Dissidia I barely bat a eyelash, but I had to reread this news a few times for it to sink in.
Maybe I just haven't been paying attention to the anime fighting genre recently (or at all), but it just seems like such a small audience to be selling too. Unless this gets extremely high praise, it'll most definitely be a bargin bin buy for me.

However, P4P is awesome news. Ever since I got a real job, I haven't had enough time to play console RPG's, and now that my backlog is getting ported, I couldn't be happier.

I'm just hoping for a female protagonist because it would add content that would make the game worth buying. They keep releasing games on PSP that I can't play, so it would be nice to have some reason to get it. At the same time, the Vita will be even more expensive, so it'd have to have some killer titles to make it worthwhile. Since I've never played a New Game Plus before, I'd much rather play a new version of the game instead of just playing the old one again. On the other hand, P4 is better than P3 in just about every way, so there's less reason to play an improved version (except that the PSP version is a downgrade in many ways anyway, which this game will probably avoid).

Also, I'm pretty sure a licensed fighting game is doomed to failure. Has there been a good one that doesn't involve Marvel?

Yeah one extra Slink and an animated cut-scene or two isn't really going to make this worth buying. The female protagonist gave a different perspective and spiced it up a little so I hope they are just holding out on that announcement.

The fighting game on the other hand is seriously out of nowhere. I know it's P3/P4 but they better release previous characters as DLC or something since they are all the best ones.

I love the title, although I wish the fighting game was named The Golden. It just sounds like some real bad translation, and usually when fighting games sound like that they're so hilariously bad it's fun.

Oh and if Adachi, Naoto or Shinjiro are not in the game then gently caress it. As hype as Chie makes me I need more than one character to play as to have fun otherwise it is not worth it.

It was on one of half a dozen (Japanese) message boards I was looking through. I, uh, don't actually know which one it was, because I closed the board window when I found it.

Also, y'all, the screen shot in the top righthand corner is the character select screen from the fighting game, it seems.

This would be really exciting news if it was five years ago and I still thought Arc System Works made games I like. I'll still buy it if they include Raidou Kuzunoha and Adachi, though, because I am a consumer whore.

I see about 11 character slots. Hoping that means DLC for more, but more importantly, that means we aren't even getting all the main characters to start, right?

Knowing Atlus, they probably goof up and think FEMC is just your main character always wearing that dress from the beauty pageants.

Apparently it takes place two years after Persona 4, so it should be neat to see how the kids grew up.

I imagine everybody will look the exact same right down to wearing their usual clothes. That one fragment of a screenshot we have so far seems to confirm this.

I wonder if they'll tie into into the Golden Playhouse from Catherine. The game's story mode was presented as a late-night B-movie show thing called this, which wouldn't be too much of a stretch to associate with the Midnight Channel... somehow.

At least I would be okay with a Trisha cameo.

Well, if that's what you want then Impress Game Watch is much better. The only reason I care about Famitsu is merely to make announcements faster than everyone else, other than that it has no value to me.

Don't worry, I'm not some sexist ass, MRAs are MRAs because they can't get laid either. By the way, I am totally an MRA!
To go along with this, when putting on the leotards in Persona 3, is there supposed to be a costume change? The characters comment on it, but they're still wearing the same clothes. Also, do the dudes get anything other than the chivalrous shirts and their normal costumes?

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I'm very grateful that I experience Persona 4 on the English side. There have been some creepy official examples of fanservice pandering of the female characters on the Japanese side. (For example, does anyone remember that flash game on the official Japanese site where the goal was to peep on the girls in the bath? Euugh.)

At least only with the English game to go on, I can pretend that my main character's relationships with the girls are built of love and mutual respect. (Except for the whole Naoto in a girl's uniform bit, which I can write away as Naoto having hosed up gender binary expectations that come from childrens' cartoons, anyway.)
