The scar is from when Akihiko gets attacked by the giant Shadow that appears at the start of P3.

That's a heck of an attention to detail if that's true. I'm so pumped. It looks like he has a cape as well, or at least a jacket wrapped around him.

Hm, looks like Akihiko has some kind of "LV" counter above his super bar. Wonder what he levels?

Trailer got me more hyped for the game. Come on, announce a US release! Also, I really hope the writers for the anime (it's actually pretty good, honest) are doing the story mode.

So Atlus sent out an e-mail of what was seemingly a black rectangle, but some photoshop work indicates it's a teaser for Mayonaka Arena.

Aigis has a pretty awesome remix of Heartfelt Cry. I swear I've heard something like Chie's theme somewhere, like menu music or something. :psyduck:

I want to say Akihiko's theme sounds very familiar but I can't put my finger on what it's a remix of.

Maybe she's branching out to Capoeira.

Also I think they're vs. CPU, so really it isn't too representative of play. Anyway, Rise doesn't sound like she'll get too grating during matches, which is nice. It may be just me, but it sounds like Aigis's VA has changed since P3.

Haha, I like that the achievement for blocking a lot is 'Null Physical'. Well played, Atlus.

Yeah, there's a bunch of references to the series which is awesome. My personal favorite is "Meat Dimension." And it looks like there will be multiple titles.

So do we know if we have the ability to change voiceovers individually because I like certain character's English VAs and some of them are horrible.

Edit: If you cannot hear the Joisey in Labrys' voice you'd probably be okay with it.

I've lived here long enough to hear it though. Holy poo poo.

Haha, I sorta hear it too now. Gonna have to try the robot student council president wise gal now.

Were there any major bug fixes for Blazblue? I honestly forget if there was a similar situation in that game.

You should because that store rules, they're not Gamestop and they have staff that actually know a thing or two about video games. :) Give them a call tomorrow. I think they open at 11am. I'll also be in the area again tomorrow so I could check for you. How far away are you?

Oh yeah, Persona 4. This game is incredible. I've been going through the challenges just to learn the characters and how they play. I really can't decide who my favorites are, but Akihiko and Mitsuru are pretty fun. Also digging Naoto. If anyone wants to spar, practice or just screw around my PSN is SirSpergsalot.

I was there last week. Jaw hit the floor with the amount and variety of games. Shot the breeze with the employees there for a while and had a great time. I'm in New Jersey, but I might head in to hang out with my sister as well.

Chie's new voice actor Erin Fitzgerald does a really good job. Yeah, her first two lines are a bit weird, but she's also supposed to be overjoyed and screaming with enthusiasm. You can't really get a good gauge on someone's vocal skills with that in mind.

I always figured her first line is supposed to be exaggerated and fake sounding since she's trying to hide from Yu that the Midnight Channel is back. I thought Fitzgerald did a great job during Chie's "bad end" of her story path when Chie and Akihiko fight over the beef bowl. That was hilarious.
