Yeah, but who honestly cares? If they wanted to solve this problem they should've recasted Yu.

Adachi's a pretty popular character. For some reasons more than others.

Anyway was wondering if an official release date for Arena Ultimax was announced for the West. I'm in the US and Amazon is saying the release date's September 30, 2014. Just wondering if that's them just putting up a date or official.

That's the official date. Altus USA is doing what they did last game and localizing it as it's being made so the game gets released close to the Japanese release.

They're a lot better, people say Teddie and Rise are kind of annoying but I think they're fine. Originally I switched in P4A when I heard Chie's voice pop up in a cutscene. Slammed the brakes hard on that and switched to Japanese.
You actually like Japanese Teddie?

He packs a handgun but his entire moveset consists of awkward, gangly kicks and pistol-whipping people.

His throw has him take a minute to point and laugh at you.

Adachi you might be pathologically incapable of feeling empathy but that's no reason we can't be best friends.

Dunno if anyone noticed, but Adachi's opening animation with his yellow coat is actually a reference to a concept design of his.

It's a mind game. You see your opponent bring a gun to the fight, the last thing you expect is for him to kick the poo poo out of you.

Doesn't he wear that briefly at the start of the game/anime, too? When the first body is found.

Nah, the first thing you see of Adachi is him rushing off to go vomit. Even a bit later during the opening parts of P4 the dude's using an umbrella, he never actually wears that coat. I don't remember the anime though, he might've worn it in that.

That's probably the funniest thing about Adachi's playstyle: the gun is for show. This is a guy who admits in-game that the only reason he became a police officer was to legally own a gun, and he never uses it.

Also, I hadn't really noticed it until you mentioned it, but the sprite work for Adachi does make him way more ganglier and noodle-like than in P4 proper.

I think a number of the characters look way noodlier than their previous versions.

Look at Ken, for example. He's like 13, but he has a serious case of the CLAMP.

And then you have the opposite with Kanji, who's 16 and somehow a brick shithouse.

Although that's more ArcSys bias towards grappler character design.

So most of you probably missed it, but AtlusUSA streamed some Ultimax earlier and among other things such as it having playable Rise and Ken there is are three random selects on the character screen. Two of these are on opposite ends of the character select, while one is in the middle of the bottom row. One of these is no doubt a placeholder spot for Adachi, but that leaves one more that is obviously a placeholder spot for someone.

I wouldn't put it past them that the one in the middle is Adachi, and both of the end ones are legit. Other games have done that. I believe one of the Mortal Kombat games did, and I think one of the Street Fighter vs Capcom games as well.

The color palettes are pretty crazy this time around, probably like 17+ per character, including pure gold, sepia tone, black and white...

Also everyone has Velvet Room colors. It rules

I am posting about Shadow Labrys and there's nothing anyone can do about it!

We'll need a translation to actually infer anything from the story segments. Could be S.Lab[Asterius] is involved in the story, or they could have just lifted an S.Lab[Ariadne] bit for this trailer.

I recall going into S.Lab's sound test in vanilla P4A, and the PERSONA, ASTERIUS lines were present there (albeit unused as far as I know?), so we can't reliably infer anything from that, either, until above.

What kind of accent does Labrys have? It sounds entirely fake but I can't tell what she's faking. At first I thought it was a bad fake of a british street youth by an american, then I noticed some ?? New York slang or pronunciation? I live in California and am first language english, not American, and I can't tell what on earth is up with her accent. I have trouble believing anyone talks like that. How wrong am I?
