If I'm not mistaken, Akihiko had a pretty terrible matchup against Liz. Did that change or Liz can actually beat somebody?

That early post said that Ikutsuki is probably dead since he fell off Tartarus. I'd normally agree with that, especially in P3 where at least 5 people died in the plot. But there's also the possibility of a stupid ass-pull like Makoto in Alter Memory falling from the top of Kagutsuchi (Which is on top of one of the highest mountains in the planet) and somehow surviving.

Looks like you hit the jackpot. And our predictions about Elizabeth's story are correct if this is true. Blue Hair may or may not be revived, but Elizabeth will reach the end of her story, wrapping up P3 alongside it. Can you post the link with the translated quotes?

P4AU will wrap up P3, P4 and Arena storylines. Elizabeth will find something and may return to the Velvet Room in P5. Did Margaret actually leave the Velvet Room like Liz in P4?

I remembered when the Shadow Operatives might have interrogated Adachi. Remember the beginning of Mitsuru's P4A story when she says that she didn't believe that a Class 4 Shadow Incident (Or something like that) happened in Inaba? How would she find out that it was a Shadow-related incident without interrogating Adachi?

Do North America and South America share the same "Region" if P4U2 is region locked?

So, Valentine just trolls May in her ending? On a more serious note, what kind of people disappear? Relevant characters or faceless mooks?

Does anyone know if there were any changes in the "Evasive Action" mechanic?

I hope you can at least TK it. From a gameplay perspective I see some uses to this super like corner carrying or something, but visually? This is more underwhelming than Dragon Install (And everything about it)

I completely forgot about Basement. I'm pretty sure it was Basement in the video. Anyway, did someone translate what SHO said in that video? Maybe he actually said something that could give us a clue about something.

Crisis is Shadow Akihiko's theme. At least that' what I've heard in the Ost Thread. And just because it isn't Mitsuru's theme (Which is "Shadow" in her shadow form) it doesn't mean that it can't play in a match against her. RWA asked what was the song on the video not her theme.

Great find! I'd translate this if I could but my japanese skills are very basic. However, if someone still have doubts about the kid SHO's talking about is a girl or whatever... He just says "That child". It may be the girl used as a base to Labrys and Aigis, but she is not related to Sho in a family way. He probably met her in the hospital after getting his Plume of Dusk. And the song playing when he's facing Mitsuru is Calamity from P3.

Azrael is working with Sector Seven in BB. He just wants to wreck some faces, therefore he is neutral. We don't know why is Bedman working with The Senate.

Actually, The only mention to the guild made in Overture was Ky telling a soldier in Mission 2 or 3 to not contact the guild yet. So apparently Venom or anyone of the guild weren't coercing him. And Bedman sounds like a neutral character. He just breaks what's on the way and don't care about the rest. In other news, That Man is now officially married with That Woman. Sources confirm that possible names for their children include That Chick and That Kid.

If Makoto/Minato/Blue Hair manages to be playable sometime, can we actually have someone with the wild card that summons different personas mid battle?

No baseless speculation? There's no info enough to make educated guesses yet. Is there any arcade story translations yet? Does Shadow Labrys even have a place in the story? The plot thickens...

Exactly. P5 will have it's own self-contained story that will wrap itself up. What I said is that doesn't rule out the possibility of P4U2 events affecting concepts in the Persona series, including P5. However, we're getting a little off-topic here aren't we?

P5 will most likely be a game with it's own story like P3 and P4. That doesn't mean any plot devices used in Arena can't be used there. For example, Personas turning back into Shadows and who knows if the events of P4U2 won't have any impacts in P5.

As long they don't rush the story and make a "True End" story like BB, I don't mind.

Really? I've read in the first page that it had a standalone version but it must have changed in one of the loketests. Thanks for the info.

How Sho's dodge mechanic work? He just sidesteps or actually dodges stuff?

How is SHO more consistent with the Eerie Voice than ME?

The ME is probably what's possessing Sho. (In my opinion, Nyarlathotep disguised as Tsukiyomi.) The problem with P4A's endings is that The Eerie Voice doesn't sound like Sho at all. But Sho said that he has an ally (ME) and from what I've heard, he said that he threw Labrys in the TV or at least decided to use her as the victim. Am I the only one who that there's a third being involved in the story?

We still don't know if P4G Extended ending is canon. Probably not, but we would need to see how the characters will appear in P4D, which may not be canon itself. Therefore, we shouldn't think that P4U2 will actually finish the Arena storyline. In fact, P4U2 may leave plot points that could be left unresolved even after P5.

What if Tsukiyomi is actually Nyarlathotep? Makes sense if you stop to think about it.
