[P4AU] News & Gameplay Discussion

[Givinguponlife]

Alright thanks I might just buy the JP limited edition version so I won't miss out and also yeah I thought that was another new character but it may be they Capetian teddie guy from the first game

[shoryusatsu999]

I'm not 100% sure but when I asked at the stream back in EVO they told me they don't know yet. They said that so far all first prints are going to get the Teddie bobble, the cards, and a few other swag items.

 

I'm a long time lurker but kind of new to the forums so I'm not sure if I'm suppose to ask this or not. I apologize in advance.

 

On the last scan if you look in the background next to Aki you will see something or another. It looks like someone is facing their back or is that part of the logo? I circled it.

That looks like Labrys's other hand.

[Anne]

Can we include new playable character speculation?

Please!?

Hmm? I don't get what you're asking.

Margaret hype thread let's go

If she gets announced sure.

[Givinguponlife]

i was on my phone when i looked at the picture but on my computer i can see it clearer. It may be nothing though cause in a better resolution nothing is there https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsMuM4zIcAA_vHE.jpg:large

[Loli Bacon]

Oh man I was excited. Labrys looks like Metis in that picture so I thought maybe Metis would be in.

[Saffron Sadness]

Whoever becomes playable I'm just grateful P3MC, Shinjiro or any other canonically dead character isn't gonna be playable whatsoever. Serves the fanboys right after going on and on about why FeMC shouldn't be in the game.

[shoryusatsu999]

Wait until the game comes out before saying things like that. You may end up eating those words later.

[Number 13]

People legitimately hoping for FeMC were setting themselves for disappointment from the very beginning because the most you will get is a reference color. Even the detective Dojima/Nanako tag team idea had a better chance because they at least exist in this dimension. 

[D.R.F.]

^ hey they can always play labrys since she has a FeMC color

How are those two things related?

[Slaythe]

Do we have any information regarding the japanese version being region locked or region free ?

 

Edit: 

 

I contacted several importers, they all first answered "region free, ps3 games are region free" after insisting and reminding them of the P4U original debacle, they were far more cautious and were like "we recommend waiting until official release before ordering" ...

[SoWL]

We know for sure that the US version is not region-locked, so it's most probably the same case with other regions, as well.

[Saffron Sadness]

Kinda sad the online lobby doesn't have an Amagi Inn level. It would have been the perfect place to create that.

 

Also if anyone is curious about the Navigators of P4U2, there's:

• Rise Kujikawa
• Teddie
• Mitsuru Kirijo
• Fuuka Yamagishi
• Nanako Dojima
• Yosuke Hanamura
• Aigis
• Tohru Adachi
• Ken Amada
• Yukari Takeba

​All the girls of P3 are going to be Navis so that's cool I guess.

Also Kaguya looks like the personified version of Yukiko; she's really pretty.

[Angry Guy of DE]

I would've liked a Shadow version of each announcer, at least for characters that in-fact have a shadow version in-game.
...
Of course wanting some-one to verbally berate me when I lose is a little unsettling now that I think about it...

[Balguna]

That's why you have Adachi.

I would have enjoyed a Shadow Lab Navigator, but anyway.

 

Yukari Navigator...interesting, I'll definitely need to try her

[JRSven]

I really hope I don't have to beat Score Attack to unlock stuff. The thought of getting my potatoes repeatedly mashed by an Unlimited Shadow Chie is unpleasant

[shoryusatsu999]

Every time we've seen the main menu, there was a P$ counter. I assume that the gallery will double as an in-game store like in BlazBlue.

During one of the Atlus streams, they stated that they "weren't allowed to talk about Score Attack." With the expanded roster, I think it's likely we'll see Score Attack courses in the same style as BB:CP, as even without DLC characters, Score Attack would go from 13 opponents to 19 (Yukari, Junpei, Sho, Minazuki, Rise, and Ken... and with the possibility of a story unlock alone, that's 20). And that's sadistic even by ASW standards, particularly if the "clear SA with each character" rule returns. My guess is we get three SA courses and trophies for score upon completion and for completing all three courses. (If it's "fight the full roster," we'd better be able to unlock Unlimiteds.)

My guess is solely a guess, however. I suspect part of the reason SA is under wraps is because of the identity of the final opponent (I have a hunch it's the final boss of story mode, which would explain "no talking about SA"). And since Golden Arcade mode looks like P4A's version of the Abyss, who knows what we'll be able to unlock with in-game currency and levels.

Of course, it's likely all unlocks will be available for actual money, as it would be unprecedented if that weren't the case.

But not for ATLUS standards . . .

[JyakotuKurayami]

Would really like Shadow Kanji to be part of the voice navigators. Out of all the Shadow characters, he's my favorite for obvious reasons. I can only imagine what his commentary would be like during fights. Lol

P$ is fine. I just hate the idea of stuff being locked behind a mode I'd only play if I'm feeling like a masochist. P4A SA with fast-buffed Yosuke off the bat was like EVERY DAY'S GREAT AT YOUR JUNES. He might as well be teleporting! I only think I've ever made it to the fourth fight! I can't imagine with certain Shadows + buffs. Boo-hoo lol

Since the arcade mode had five selectable difficulties from the start (much like the arcade version), I wouldn't be surprised if Score Attack has five difficulties of three tracks each like the arcade version.

Just wishful thinking and speculation but if we draw a parallel with the char added in BBCP (4 new characters in arcade + 3 console exclusive characters), we might get another character ! let's just cross fingers and hope it's not Robo-Yu xD !

I would actually want a robo kanji, just to see what he'd do for the YOLODIVE/Flying shitlord/Chris brown/flying Omex
