Pre-loading on PSN is up.

Seems that some are starting to get their copies of the game.

Thank you. I wonder if that means voices for the story mode or just in-game battle voices, but at least we know P4A DLC can be transferred over, now.

Awesome. There'll also be a Shadow version of the box art, seen in that article. That article might have some other interesting info in it, because I think it mentions something about dual language (potential limitations?) along with the game being region free, and maybe also something about P4A to P4AU DLC transferability?

26th.

What? There are 4 buttons in the game: A, B, C, D. She could have Persona switching, but shoulder buttons don't factor into this at all.

GGs to those I played in the lobby yesterday.

I've got the digital PSN JP version pre-ordered (PSN cash was deducted two days ago) and the physical Premium Newcomer Package ordered, too. #YOLO

It was 9 from the Famitsu reveal pics so, yeah, it seems they changed it to 8.

Same here.

It was JYB. He said on Twitter a while back that he's voicing Adachi closer to the in-game version than the anime. Those trailers were great, too. Most we've seen of what Adachi and Marie are capable of to date. Also, nice job Matthew Mercer. He got 5-0'd by Valle, but he was surprisingly good.

Now that's crazy. If we're really not getting those colors as Hardin suggested, I guess it was just an unsupervised part of the build they were using to show it off.

We (most likely) won't be getting any of those alt colors outside of Japan because they're Famitsu exclusive, just like the P4A ones that we never got. Edit: Not even most likely. We won't be getting those colors.

You will never get an answer for anything close to something like that by contacting Atlus Japan. You would get an answer by contacting John Hardin, the PR manager for Atlus USA, but he doesn't know anything about whether the Japan version is region locked or not.

Not to self-promote without reason, but I created Persona Central for this express purpose. That's odd. Without the hotlink, the straight up URL is: http://personacentral.com/

Late to the party on that one. Atlus USA will be streaming gameplay from Golden Arena Mode tomorrow, on August 19, at 11:30 AM PDT (2:30 PM EDT).

The P4A Platinum felt more rewarding to get because of its difficulty, though.

P4AU 360 Achievements Secret achievements can be seen by clicking on them. Minor spoiler, I guess: .

And yet, somewhat comforting because we had already heard P4A was region locked at the parallel point in time two years ago, and I feel we would know the same by now if P4AU was. It's a weird situation.

There has been no confirmation either way, and every indication points to the JPN version being region free.

Yep, Obon's going from August 13-15, so we got our weekly update early on Tuesday.

It seems that the Japanese version of the game might not have dual text, from the Hong Kong PSN store listing.

Also, new P4AU trailers from Atlus USA: Yu, Yosuke and Yukiko.

Like I thought before, I really wouldn't have expected any direct news concerning the Japanese release's region locked/free status. I think we'll have to rely on the word of third parties or wait until the game comes out to find out for sure. CD Japan claims that the game is region free, and Play-Asia is very adamant that the Japanese release of P4AU will be region free.

Dumb question, but just to be sure: This does not mean one can play the game on the 24th, correct? Edit: Looking into it, it seems that it'll be a standard pre-load situation. Wonder if people will be able to look into the game data files. Edit 2: Also, the pre-order period is from August 13 to August 24, and the game will download automatically on August 26.
