SolxBaiken Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Website is officially up now Site is completely flashed based so it can take some time for things to load... Reveals there will be 11 characters (no new ones unveiled). Sample a track (pretty awesome, most likely stage music). Characters are given two interesting classifications; Main Weapon and Type. Protagonist; Katana, Standard Type. Yosuke; Kunai, Speed Type. Chie; Kicks, Kung Fu Rush Type. Aegis; Firearms, Firearms + Mode Change Type. Interestingly you can see a few new screenshots on the character page but Aegis only has one single image (despite having 2 clickable shots they both are the same one) Atlus staff includes: Producer - Katsura Hashino Director - Kazuhisa Wada Character Designer - Shigenori Soejima Sound Composer - Shoji Meguro Arc staff includes: Producer - Toshimichi Mori Director - Takumi Iguchiya
SoWL Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) SUCK IT EVERYWHERE THAT ISN'T TEXAS!!! Cause in April the convention Anime Matsuri will have this game for the weekend event! I'm gonna attend this year. Damn you, America, getting all the cool stuff again! Oh well, better for some of us to get it than for none, right? I mean, outside the console release. EDIT: Oh boy, is that a Galactic Punt bar I see on one of Chie's screenshots? Edited September 7, 2011 by SoWL
Hecatom Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/ I know I'm posting on a forum called "Dustloop" but I'm personally hoping for no roman cancel mechanic. every arcsys game outside battlefantasia has some sort of cancel mechanic hnk has the boost cancel and sbx has the engun cancel at this point i wouldnt be surprised if this game has one as well Edited September 7, 2011 by Hecatom
Tong Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 The music sounds extremely good, top composing material right there! Couldnt expect less than Meguro!!!!!! God... What about the moonrunes, do they reveal anything important or cool? This game's gonna be way too good for its own sake... cant wait x_x
SoWL Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 More screens, more UI speculation and other cool details! (For now, I'll be calling the bar under the life bars the "minor gauge", as opposed to the "major gauge" at the bottom of the screen.) - The round begins with full minor gauge and the major gauge at 75%. Seems like there's a lot of stuff to spend it on. - The first match in the arcade mode is against Kuma/Teddie? I wonder if it's a tutorial match or something more. - Some new bar appears with the combo counter. Though it doesn't fill up by much even with the 10-hit combo that kills Yosuke. On the other hand, it's completely filled from Yosuke's two-hit special. What is it for? Maybe it fills up when the combo can be broken? - The diamonds over the health bar swirl with the KO/when a cool super-move is performed? Maybe it's not a round counter after all. - The 150% bonus of the major gauge doesn't seem to be related to the supers after all, since Yosuke has it even while being pounded by Chie. It can also be both blue and red. - Chie has her own gauge, maybe to charge her moves Makoto-style. - There seem to be some flashy moves going on right at the beginning of the round, but that's probably because of the debug mode. - The protag is called Yu Narukami, just like in the anime. Suck it, Souji! - The character select screen includes the color "PRISET" choice, the option to put on your glasses, and to change your Persona? Perhaps the last one is to change between the regular and the evolved version? This is getting more interesting with every batch, just as it should be. Too bad that we'll know everything about the gameplay by next week.
Butters Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Ok, so MC has the same name as the anime: Narukami Yu. (Narukami means "to become a god." Subtle, I know.) However, they don't use the kanji for "kami as in god." Whatever, I'll just call the dude "Yu" I guess. Other note: Aegis screenshot still has "Free Pray," which makes me smile.
Tong Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 If you can really change personas, the system will be VERY variable like LB2 Speed/Power and Samurai Shodown Bust/Slash modes. If this holds true, god,the depth.
shtkn Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 i'm pretty sure hte diamonds are round counters. otherwise why would chie and P4 protag show 2 diamonds on top here http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/2132460424/ and have 5 diamonds on top here http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/2132460420/ also iirc most debug screenshots for bb also had matches be best of 9 rounds too.

Then I guess the "swirling" is just a fancy way to add a counter.
Butters Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/2132460403/ This must be the screen shot SoWL is talking about. I don't think that option is to change Persona, it is probably just to change the Persona's color. Not sure about "Navigation" though.
Nini Heart Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Wait so is this game like bloody roar where the characters can transform into a more powerful version?
Tong Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Wait so is this game like bloody roar where the characters can transform into a more powerful version? They summon their Personas, Relius/Jojo style. Personas can transform into more powerful versions.
RadRed Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I'm not sure if anyone noticed this yet, but there's something rather interesting in one screenshot. I'm willing to assume that this screen is of arcade mode and there is a list of who you have fought previously and who you're about to fight (like a lot of other fighters do). In the screenshot is says that the first person fought was クマ which is the Japanese name for Teddie in Persona 4. Playable Teddie confirmation?
Kronikhall Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/2132460403/ This must be the screen shot SoWL is talking about. I don't think that option is to change Persona, it is probably just to change the Persona's color. Not sure about "Navigation" though. i'm not too sure about that. if you look at chie hovering over color priset, it shows 2 options. one's probably for chie, and one's probably for tomoe (her persona). i was thinking maybe changing persona would kinda sorta be like blazblue's unlimited mode. the choice of persona would be between their normal one and their ultimate one.

Tong Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I uploaded the site track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7BXDuS5d04 Now you dont need to wait 10 minutes of loading, I think. Im beginning to think that if the game is canon, there'll be no bad guys to play, like Adachi
Akiro Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Yep, Pretty sure that confirms Teddy, and since this is game is based on P4 with a little bit a P3 I guess we can assume Naoto will be playable too. That leaves 2 characters for P3 for the Arcade release, maybe more slots will be opened for the console release down the line?
LunaKage Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 It wouldn't really make sense to select your persona since that was always an MC only kinda thing.
Drill Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 It wouldn't really make sense to select your persona since that was always an MC only kinda thing. Most people are saying it would be a choice between the initial and evolved Persona. For example, Yosuke starts with Jiraiya. However, perhaps he can also select Susano-o.
Kuuhaku Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 It wouldn't really make sense to select your persona since that was always an MC only kinda thing. I think it is just costume option. Note the "megane" highlighted option on Yosuke's side and him wearing glasses.
Akiro Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Megane is the Romaji for glasses, so that is a glasses "on and off" feature.
LunaKage Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Megane is the Romaji for glasses, so that is a glasses "on and off" feature. I like it.
Kuuhaku Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Megane is the Romaji for glasses, so that is a glasses "on and off" feature. Yeah. It might just let you switch on costumes. I'd main Teddy if there is an Alice option.
shtkn Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 seeing as it says "Color Prisets" at teh top, i assume it's just color select + glasses. no idea what navigation would mean... maybe back to char select?
furix Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Yeah. It might just let you switch on costumes. I'd main Teddy if there is an Alice option. That would be too good.
GenoWhirl Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Alice Teddy will be like Order Sol/Robo Ky calling it
