As nice as that would be, it's better to wait until ArcSys themselves announce a release date. Spring isn't outside the realm of possibility, but unless development is more streamlined than we think, I wouldn't hold my breath. Unlikely. Although they've spoken of foreign markets before, ArcSys has shown time and again that they prioritize the Japanese market, so an overseas release would depend entirely on Aksys or some other localization company to initiate talks about licensing. And assuming a Spring release for arcades, I wouldn't expect any earlier than Fall for the home version, meaning a 2015 NA release is indeed the most likely outcome.

Do you have a source for this? I don't see anything on Examu's site or their AH twitter.

Those with the Fool arcana can use any Persona, so her still using Thanatos wouldn't in and of itself be an indicator.

Unless it turns out that netcode can't be patched in, NSC will be a patch. IIRC, it was just balance changes, and those always come in patches these days.

...What? This animation is, like, Toki Towa quality. It's several levels below Xrd's models.

No. It's been a while since I played Overture, but it definitely wasn't the same. Ky sacrificed the Thunderseal to freeze her in time so she wouldn't disappear, while, IIRC, Justice was sealed in an alternate space with an actual spell developed by the Order.

Your Engrish could use some work, Scottie. And Baker's boring half the time. His popularity is a mystery to me.

Why is Persona set to the massively overrated English voices? That nerfs my skill by, like, 30%, and I suck enough already without that.

That's Drakengard 3.

There is only one answer to this question. "Soon" is probably stretching it, but I think either Ishiwatari or Pachi said that Osaka has a good GG scene, so they were planning on holding the next one there.

TV Tropes is still the only source I know of that says BB was going to be an RPG, and they've been blatantly wrong on multiple occasions, so yeah, not that good a source. Likewise, Ishiwatari has said that GG was a fighting game from the get-go. Anyway, to stay on topic, hope the promised Osaka loketest comes soon.

I'm about to go to Fort Worth for a few days, and this thread is suddenly more active. Is this a sign?!

Most VAs will take any work they can get. As long as he isn't too busy, he likely wouldn't refuse the role. There is literally no point in doing so (well, asking him about Xrd, that is; the picture, I'm sure would be nice for you). The game won't even be out in arcades until most likely late next year, meaning no console version until sometime in 2015. There is no way he's getting cast well before then.

Has anyone else noticed that there's a visual effect on the health bar as damage is taken? Looks kind of like a spark. It also looks like Stunedge was right about differing timeslow durations; movement RCs don't seem to last even half as long as normal RCs.

I wasn't saying he DPs when I'm high in the air or that I usually get hit by it at the height the first hit connects, just that it's annoying I can't bait it with a jump like I can with, say, Mitsuru's. Probably could've worded that better in my previous post. 2B may be a decent AA, but I've learned not to rely on it too much. As you say, it'll beat out normal air approaches, but it's best to keep an eye for if he uses Raging Lion, since the A version can get Labrys if she uses 2B a bit late and the B version can catch her on recovery. But luckily, you can throw any version if you block it, so that should help. That seems to be common in these kind of MUs. I'm still working on both my spacing and my reads, but hopefully, I can retain what you've posted. Thanks for the advice.

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on sweep? I can think of ways that would be situationally useful, but I don't know if that's how you mean. As for j.B, that's almost never works in my experience. Air-to-ground, I lose to 2B or DP, air-to-air, I lose to j.B or 214A/B; hell, I remember seeing SKD recommend to Tectal (at least, I think it was Tectal) to just not go air-to-air against Narukami. Ugh, Cross Slash. Bane of this MU. Anyway, it seems that players tend to get reliant on his DP, so I often just block. The problem there is when he does something other than DP, which is what really annoys me about the first hit being AUB, 'cause being in the air would make my oki strats much easier.

I can't do anything in this MU, plz help me trick the game into thinking I can.

If anything, she'd just have different pre-fight clothes than in X (where she wore a dress) and XX (where she wore the standard Jellyfish clothes), and still switch to the same battle outfit at the end of her intro. Considering May has only aged, like, a month, I wouldn't count on this. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Potemkin is the only radical redesign in the cast.

Kliff and Justice have been dead since the first game (Justice dies in every ending, and Kliff dies in his own), so the amount of time after AC+ matters little for them. As for whether or not the every character will be in the roster, it's entirely possible that if they don't have every character in the game upon release that they'll just add them over time. No reason to be too worried, I'd say.

She is, but most will DP if you try to punish, so watch for that. And if you see her use that missile move too far away for you to punish, jump when the missiles come out. Most Aegis players will charge in even though you're chicken-blocking, so you won't have to worry about mix-up while they use up their Orgia meter. That move isn't used often, but it's something to keep in mind.

The wording in the Japanese line is, "ano gaki no shoutai," "shoutai" basically meaning "true identity" or "real self." The chances of it being Sin they're talking about are slim enough to be disregarded.

"That punk" isn't Sin. I forget what exactly the subtitles said, but the line was something like, "I don't care who that punk really is." In other words, considering the context he said it in, it's more likely to be a new antagonist. The +R loketest was streamed, but unless they announce they'll do the same for Xrd when they reveal the other characters tomorrow, we'll probably have to rely on shaky cam as usual.

Jiyuna said he'll be out of the country during the loketests, and it sounds like Xie will spend a decent amount of time at Comiket (which is going on at the same time), but I think he said he'll try to make it when he can.

"Hopefully" was an apt word to start your post with, because you have to be filled to the brim with hope to think this will ever happen with ArcSys.
