Yup, that's a Margaret trailer alright. And she has a suplex.

drat was that a tartarus entrance stage? Or just a background?

Either way it looks like her multiple persona are just different moves activating differenet ones as far as I can tell.

Looks good!

I actually went to Atlus' USA account to link the new English trailers for Sho, Minazuki, and Slabrys, but stumbled on that. Hahahahha.

Love how they translated "Tsundere" to "Antisocial" even though that is not at all what that means (and Marie is not even portrayed as antisocial, just kinda distant)

These english trailers upset me because apparently (just) the story mode is all Dub only, so they aren't giving you the choice to listen to it or not

All the new characters look great and seem fun, but the more they pump into this the more bloated that story mode is gonna be. The first one had a fun and goofy story that took wayyyyyyy too long to get through because of lots and lots of repetitious lines and weak writing. If they just excise all the inner monologues and pare down the story to a similar length as the last game while including like twice the characters, I'll be very happy.

It doesn't really matter though because its a fighting game story and I'll be spending 90% of my time with the game playing online but still!!

I sort of expect the story mode to end up being segmented between groups, but with people like Adachi, Marie, and Margaret getting their own stories and now they've got Slabrys who cannot possibly fit into any faction, it might end up being another loving series of individual story modes.

So basically we're getting a repeat of Continuum Shift Extend, it'll be awful.

Yeah, they showed these at WNF on the leveluplive stream last night after the Alex Valle vs. Matthew Mercer exhibition. I think Adachi sounds fine and I think Marie's gameplay looks like it might be pretty interesting.

The thing is, Adachi's VA made him sound more nasally so not to confuse the listener with Yu, since their voice is both provided by Johnny Yong Bosch. It's a weird quirk and it stems from the anime's dub so meh. Meeeeh. I like how Margaret seems anti-Liz where she looks loving nuts.

It's just too much for me. I'm too used to waiting for the buildup to where Adachi drops the act and goes "EVIL MODE" and Johnny Yong Bosch goes nuts in the best way possible. It's easily his best role and the fact that he can't act it the way he did in P4 and P4G is disappointing, especially because it would end up even funnier in a fighting game. I do like how slapstick he sounds whenever he is talking just being dropped into the tournament. Also I honestly though he was voiced by Spike Spencer for a minute when he did the finishing blow of his IK.

souji/yu sounds like a grown-rear end man with a deep voice. adachi sounded fine when he was relaxed, then he just suddenly switches to Full Anime Villain voice and sort-of pulls it off. now yu and adachi both have to talk directly to each other which makes it really stupid, because they asked him to make Adachi's voice higher while Yu still sounds like an older guy. If anything, it should be in reverse

Also people are somehow managing to think that this is a sign that the P3 main character will be returning. :psyduck:

If I had a dollar for every time someone thought that the main character from P3 was coming back, I would be an incredibly rich man right now.

This is like the final curtain call on the Persona 3/4 line of work. If he's not unlocked at the end of the true story, he will be a DLC character. Aside from Persona 3, all the games in this line of work have had happy endings and the ultimate happy ending would be the revival of the P3MC.

I guess you could look at the trophies for spoilers.
http://www.gamerinabox.com/1696-persona-4-arena-ultimax/Succes360-2.html

There's nothing that appears to mention the P3MC and the P3 ending uses Mitsuru as the silhouette, while P4 uses Yu.

E: Also a DLC P3MC (both male and female varieties) would be a license for Atlus to print money.

Corpse Party, bitches.
If they wanted to, they could incorporate the P3MC as a DLC character and then not work him into the story at all. It's not like it's unheard of for a game to have completely non-canon DLC.

I don't really expect this to happen, but I don't really expect it not to happen either. Seems like something they might do as a cash grab, but there's already a ton of DLC characters.

I wish they hadn't dropped all these "hints" about Liz bringing him back, because it undermines the entire point of the original game and now thousands of idiots spam every Atlus stream demanding "Door-kun" get added to Ultimax.

I mean they had a literal playable epilogue explaining why that refusal to face reality was holding all the SEES crew back, and the end message was "get over it, he had a good reason to do what he did, and you can't go changing the past"

no you don't get it, he's a jesus analogy so of course they have to bring him back

Even if they did, they already used Thanatos so he would have to be left with what, Orpheus? Boring. I think the characters surrounding him do more of a good job paying homage to him than actually making him a full-blown fighter would.

You could just make him a DLC character and not give him a story mode or whatever. Basically, just have him playable without actually being 'canon.'

Or have him playable in his door form and his gimmick is that he is immobile but takes way too many hits to defeat and can only win via time ups.

You know what would be the best possible ending to this whole "bring back P3MC" thing the fans are clamoring for?

Elizabeth and the rest of the P3 and P4 crew succeed. They finally find a way to destroy Erebus for good and manage to release P3MC from the burden of being the Great Seal. At which point he thanks them, smiles... and fades away into the Sea of Souls, because he already sacrificed his life and you can't bring back the dead.

And then drive the point home by having Adachi make fun of any of the cast who are like, "No! Why?! :qq:"

I know that I, for one, can't wait.

Also, for the more import-inclined, the JP version is confirmed to be region free, you'll need 7000 PSN points if you're getting digital. So start looking for share buddies if you haven't already.

Edit: Also, apparently there's an alternate/reversible cover for the physical copy? Cool.
