I'm worried about that auto-health regen that Marie has, and how fast it's working. Better hope rain has an incredibly low rate of appearing or she has pathetically low life totals or something.

Huh, i'm surprised she's getting a story mode. I assumed she'd only be available for arcade mode like SLabrys and the other shadow characters. Although, from what was shown it doesn't look like her story is connected to the events of the game. She looks pretty fun to play as though.

I just beat p4g and want to play the fighting game. I heard something about ultimax having dlc for people who didn't play the first arena, was that true? Should I wait for ultimax or look for a cheap copy of arena? I'd prefer to wait, since the developers would get a sale instead of me getting arena secondhand.

There is a DLC which contains the story of P4A for P4AU which you get as a pre-order bonus in Japan. No one knows yet how that's gonna work in America.

If you just want the story, you could look the cutscenes up online or something. I think there's an LP of it in the LP subforum too.

EDIT: Also, subbed marie trailer, if anyone was curious.

Looks like Marie has some kind of weather system, as well as HP UP (like liz has SP). Gotta say, I'm intrigued, despite not liking her much in P4G.

A bit late on this, but Atlus USA has started to upload character trailers. Rise, Junpei, and Yukari have theirs up already. I see Yukari's shadow is a masochist. :v:

For those attempting to keep up with ArcRevo this year, here's the current character turnout: https://twitter.com/ak_regnitz/status/495930256063074304

Just in case anyone was unclear about the status of Labrys and Elizabeth in this revision.

Edit: Let me double check that I think that's actually just the list of SILVER winners (ie those who made it to qualifiers) ...

Yeah that list was just silver qualifiers sorry, so there may be some duplicates in there. There are only 32 players total who will qualify for it, should have been obvious. :downs:

Let me see if I can figure out who actually qualified out of those.

Edit: Just those who have fully qualified (gold ticket) that I've confirmed so far, there are 5 missing:

Yu - 5
Yosuke - 4
Aigis - 3
Mitsuru - 3
Akihiko - 2
Teddie - 2
Chie - 1
Junpei - 1
Elizabeth - 1
Yukari - 1
Yukiko - 1
Kanji - 1

I was surprised to see Yukiko down there with the joke characters, I remember people saying she was tiered at P4U2 launch. Did Arcsys push her back down the staircase or did she fall off as people learned the new version?

Posted in the SMT thread that I think she'll end up being the Persona version of Zappa. Do you guys think she'll be more along those lines or a completely different stance for each persona? I know the latest update of BB was supposed to introduce a Stance character.

It's way too early to tell right now, we don't even have much on Marie or Adachi yet. Probably gonna have to wait until the inevitable PR thing where voice actors play their characters on Nico to get any real info on playstyles.

(Also, funny that you should mention BB having a stance character, they're actually taking away her stance mechanic in the 2.0 update to make room for another character. Oh, Mori, you are a bastard.)

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
Because arcsys is mad lazy and thinks splitting CP nu into two incredibly similar characters is a good decision, she'll probably just be elizabeth 2 where instead of having one dude that does everyone's moves she has three dudes that do 1/3rd of everyone's moves, with a focus on stealing from the newer characters.

oh, and she'll be SSS tier because arcsys hates elizabeth :negative:

she has narukami/yosuke/yukiko/mitsuru supers as the very obvious basis for her four main special moves and both of naotos instant kill supers with different gimmicks.

she's not dural or anything but it's pretty clear of a theme

Hellioning

Yes, because they're based off of the same attack spells from the RPG. They're not copying those character's moves, they're both using the same source.

Not really, they aren't that super similar. Like it's the same elements but the moves themselves are different.

I can't imagine any of those three Persona are going to function anything similar to Liz's. Like she's got three different Persona (Two of which are physical based) and none of them really have anything they can take from others short of Cuchulainn with magarula.
