Shadow mode Labrys has unblockable setups :stare:

Red axe brutal impact should be 4.8k if it's anything like P4A

Yeah between shadow mode Labrys and S. Naoto I'm interested enough to play them despite their short comings just because of how cool the set ups are.

We've got ourselves a DLC schedule now:

Adachi: 9/4
Marie: :911:
Margaret: 9/25

As for Margaret, her localized title is The Sadistic Stud-Keeping Secretary, her AoA is a teleport, her sweep is basically Slidehead, and she's incredibly fast. That's all I could gather from news from a stream that I apparently missed. Oh well. Additionally, it looks like Adachi's got access to Fear, Poison, Paralyze, and Rage thus far.

Just FYI for those asking about the accent, Shadow Labrys has her accent now, making her the best version of Labrys even more.

Also if anyone has any vids they want to give me to add to the second post while I'm hunting them down on Dustloop go ahead and send them to me. I already know of a few vids I can add, but there are some I will no doubt miss and the help in showing off everyones favs would be appreciate. Preferably it would be from the 1.1 patch since I believe that's what the console version is based off of, but there's always room for silly poo poo too.

Three or more voice changes since the original P4, taking away Labrys' accent-- Persona games used to be one of the few series who had a decent English dub, and then they swapped out the good ones for crap, ruining Labrys even more (and not buffing her at all), what is their deal over there

Yes. it sounds like he's trying to do a bad impression of japanese Adachi, but it's not menacing or creepy at all

.... It was just leaked early a few days ago, it's not out for a little while yet. Atlus also has a "NO SPOILERS" warning up on the site in response to the leak, with Shadow Teddie threatening to curse anyone who ruins the game for others.




Also does anyone know of a chart with the "official" story of Arena? Like what specific dialogue and routes actually happened in canon? Because it is impossible for every route to have happened if they were getting each other trapped in rooms with invisible walls.

You should probably just assume every route happened then, because you are never getting a full outline of what actually was canon.

The wiki for Arena mentions this:

quote:

As Elizabeth continues on her journey, she stops by at the gate of death to defeat Erebus, who comes back about once a year (she picks it up with one hand, throws it through a portal to the moon, then kills it in one hit with Thanatos).

I did not know this, that is hilarious. Liz is a loving boss.

I have updated the OP to add the new trailers for character, fix some char descriptions and the second post now has a little summary about Shadow characters, their utility, and some combo videos for the really threatening ones. I will be adding more match vids to that and possibly a mechanics glossary if I feel like it after I get back home.

I assumed it was something Like Yu's, Elizabeth's, and Labrys's modes put together since they're all kind of separate and protagonist-y.

I'm just going with the idea that the most important parts of each character's story happened. Chie met Akihiko, Teddie was Labrys' knight, Yu battled Liz, Aigis and Yosuke fought, Mitsuru was awesome, just stuff like that. If anything, I feel like the only canon parts of Liz's story were the intro and epilogue, and probably the fight with Yu.

The best thing you can do with a story like Arena's is just replay it and then play Ultimax and figure out what carried over from everyone's story, because that's what's canon.

Also the execution on that Shadow Mitsuru stuff is pretty insane. If I remember correctly he is triggering the icicles off one of the supers one by one while hes comboing and cancelling into One More supers or whatever.

The infinite SP for shadows thing might have been a bad idea!!

Kinda late, but yeah, the JP VA drops the Kansai accent... for SHADOW Labrys. Regular Labrys still speaks Kansai, while Shadow Labrys talks like a Yakuza.
