From the Famitsu scan Kurushii posted, it looks like Jubei carelessly let slip out of his mouth that "the Lynchpin" could be used to "defeat" "that" and Ragna hearing that assumed "that" was referring to the Imperator... Oops...

Actually, in Bang's ending it was implied by Relius that Tenjou could have used it but quite deliberately chose not to. Potentially, Tenjou's kid could also use it.

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201308/22038666.html By now you've read that Ragna is searching for Kushinada's Lynchpin because he heard Jubei saying it could be used to defeat the Imperator. (Jubei, WTF ARE YOU SAYING AROUND RAGNA?) He's probably not going to use it for a number of reasons: 1. It stops all flow of seithr, meaning the world which currently revolves around seithr usage would crumble and fall. 2. It is not known if point number 1 is a permanent effect. In Phase 0, Nine was thinking it would only be a temporary solution to the Black Beast problem and the Beast would eventually return. This presents a problem as using the Lynchpin would not only expose the world to one catastrophe but also a second catastrophe: the possible return of poisonous seithr after the world has gotten used to it no longer being there. 3. There's only a very short list of people who could in fact use the Lynchpin as far as we know. Ragna is not among them. 4. Using it would mean Ragna would lose his Azure Grimoire or possibly his own life. In other news, Ragna clearly holds "Sister" in utmost regard. He returned to her grave to report that he had met with Jin and Saya again.

, thus Chao's post above. No, that's Shuichiro Ayatsuki.

If they do that, they'll have to take away the choice to have Japanese voices for story scenes and only have them for battles (like the exact reverse of the Japanese releases of BBCS and Extend). And you know the amount of rage from the Dual-Audio crowd that will happen then.

I just noticed on the character select screen behind the character bio, there's text in the same font as the P4A title logo that says "AREANA". Heh.

EX supers are not actually stated to be Shadow mode only, they're mentioned off-hand in a screenshot caption along things like "S-Hold System" (something where you hold down A during EX moves) and "Guard Cancel Quick Escape".

From the 4Gamer article: シャドウタイプではバーストの代わりに「シャドウ暴走」が使用可能で，一定時間SPスキルやスキルブースト（後述）が使い放題になる。 Shadow Fury allows you to use SP Skills (Supers) and Skill Boosts (EX Specials) for as much as you like for a limited time. The 4Gamer article also mentions SP Skill Boosts (EX Supers) that cost 75 meter.

Elizabeth and Shadow Labrys don't have "Shadow Mode". ノーマルモードとシャドウモードでは、キャラクターの見た目がやや異なる(エリザベスとシャドウラビリスにはシャドウモードがない)。シャドウモードは、ちょっと……怖めです！

On the character select screen: The bottom row is Persona 3 characters (plus the Labryses, who are somewhat related to Persona 3, and random) while the top row is Persona 4 characters. Assuming the remaining two slots get filled, they'll likely be filled with Persona 4 characters (or characters related to Persona 4 characters). Inb4 Marie and/or Adachi.

Yeah, he did say so. I just went searching through his tweets to see if I remembered correctly. https://twitter.com/XiePlus/status/361370960928059392 https://twitter.com/XiePlus/status/361352517629652992

I suppose, but IIRC Xie went to one of these playtest events and he claimed Terumi's theme was new. He also said Terumi VS Ragna would play Nightmare Fiction II and that Terumi VS Platinum would play the Six Heroes theme.

It wouldn't be a placeholder since the game should be content complete by now, the game should be sent in for 1st party certification very soon if it hasn't already been sent in.

It's okay. The English version localised the Imperator's line as "All phenomenon once random is now sequential." The original line as stated by the Imperator is actually at the very beginning of the first trailer for Extend.

Oh yeah, some things I should point out. 確率事象 is "Random Phenomenon" or "Continuum Shift". That's not just the official translations, that's what the characters say (in English in the Japanese voices) when that set of kanji shows in the Japanese (the common reading was Continuum Shift but the Imperator called it Random Phenomenon). 確立事象 is "Sequential Phenomenon". Again not just the official translation, when that set of kanji showed up the Imperator said "Sequential Phemonemon" again in the Japanese dialogue but in English words. In fact, the Imperator is the as yet the only person to utter this piece of nomenclature in game, though it appears in the arcade opening for Chronophantasma. It's apparently what she "shifted" the Continuum Shift into being after she took control of Takamagahara. Fun little fact, both 確率事象 and 確立事象 can be read the same way, they can both be romanised as "Kakuritsu Jishou".

The burning church and much of their childhood at the church was covered in the CT novels.

Huh? I know that's what is most likely but AFAIK, there's actually no official confirmation of how many episodes.

The anime is being written by same person as Remix Heart (Deko Akao), I suppose it's possible.

Max may have made Marvel 3 content on youtube, but the overall impression I get from his appearance at Salty Cupcakes and indeed even that Xrd impressions video is that he does not like Marvel 3, he doesn't find it very fun at all.

Apparently they're reusing old music (probably only as placeholders).

That's cool. I'm not really a fan of KOTOKO, only songs from her I've ever really liked are "Being" and "Light My Fire". "Ao -Iconoclast-" is pretty meh and "Hekira no Sore e Izanaido" is godawful.

Aira Yuhki. I figure you're asking "who", not "how".

LOL at that name for the opening theme. "Blue Blaze"... it's just BlazBlue but with the word order in reverse.

Oh... I get it. I can see where this is going.
