How does learning skills on the Demifiend work? Can you just learn the skills from one magatama and then move onto another, or does level factor into it somehow?

If I'm remembering right, he can only have a certain number of skills at a time, from any/all magatama. I think the amount he can have increases at certain levels, up to a point.
Once you learn a skill you can keep it until you replace it with another one.
Some skills you will want to keep for pretty much ever, others you'll replace because your demons will be able to do them better, or they won't fit your playstyle, or things like that.

Just don't be hasty and replace things without considering what other skills you and your demons have available at the time and you should be fine.

Edit: That is to say, once you replace a previously learned skill, there is no way to get it back and you'll have to rely on your demons for whatever it was.
Thats right, right? its been a while since I played it...

All true except for this part. The maximum number of skills is always eight.

Every skill has a hidden level requirement. If the magatama is glowing and shaking, you can learn a skill from it. It's only your level that matters, you don't need to ingest the magatama before it's ready if you don't want to.

I really don't know what to think of Ultimate. On one hand it looks like it has its own thing going for it (Which is good), but on the other I am just largely bored by the gameplay I've seen. I dunno, I should probably wait to get better quality gameplay before I judge too much.

Any fighting game is going to look boring when both players don't know what they're doing. Capcom's been using high-level players to demo their games in the past, so it would be cool if Arc System Works did the same.

The HUD in this game doesn't look as awful as BlazBlue's, so I'm going to take that as a good sign.

That trailer for the anime looks brilliant. Will there be any high class organizations providing fansubs? I don't watch anime often, so I don't know this stuff.

As for Ultimate Mayonnaise Arena, I hope this means that the game will have more than ten fighters. I guess I'm just really hoping that Persona 3 has Yukari and a few other P3 Vets in it. :ohdear:

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
I'm unironically happy that the anime seems to be continuing the original's legacy of J-pop battle themes.

The Ass Hand: Evolution's Greatest Triumph

"Surprising" character? Koromaru?

This does make it sound like there's more characters than the ten slots currently on the select screen, though. Naoto and Teddy are pretty much givens, which brings us to eight, and add a couple more P3s, some surprises, and at least one original character, and we could be looking at a decent sized roster (for an Arc Systems game).

An original character's kind of a cool idea, though for a fanservice game you have to wonder if it's worth it when you could just put in another fan-favorite. But then, Ruby Heart was pretty cool.

If Mortal Kombat can have Zombie Liu Kang, P4: Ultimate can have Zombie Shinjiro. Seriously though, I'd like to see Margaret or Elizabeth make it in. I'm still wondering who the villain is going to be in this game.

I was hesitating on saying something like this, but yeah, I'd love Maya to be in the game. Hell keep Naoto in, I like Naoto too, but at the same time I'd love to see what some of the P2 characters look like 11 years later.

Elly and Baufu would be pretty cool, rapier and shooting coins infused with ki or whatever. I'd want Nanjo, Ulala and Ginko as well but I think their weapons are already covered...

From the fighting game thread here is how mayonaise arena actually works including a moveset.

Most of its mechanics are cribbed from Blazblue, and it looks like the Personas are tied to specials, although the "Persona Rush" thing hasn't been explained yet.

Gwyrgyn Blood
Dec 17, 2002

Those mechanics aren't even remotely cribbed from BlazBlue though? Burst and Roman Cancel aren't a BB original thing and those are the only two things that look pretty similar. And the Burst works mechanically like the GG one, not the BB one.

Demi-fiend and Raidou would be the best set of characters to get, but the chances of that are pretty drat low I think.

Atlus released some Persona 4 The Golden screenshots for TGS

They're not native resolution and like half of them are repeats, but we get to see some snippets of new anime scenes (such as a victim dangling from power line!)


vvv Really? I'm not sure, it was just the one anime scene in those screenshots I hadn't seen before.

This is a rough (possibly incorrect) translation of Marie's description on the site:

"A new girl the main character will meet in this game. The player will forge a social link with her and accompany her to various places. She takes a cold and indifferent stance towards her surroundings but also has a naive, more honest side to her. She seems to have an embarrassing hobby that she can't tell anyone else about..."

I guess she might be tsundere or something?

VV Rise is way better than Yukiko's boring rear end. VV

I'm just trying to figure out where I would fit the time to pursue a social link for her.

Assuming she isn't obnoxious anyway. I always ignore Rise, for example.
