The red lock on Marie's icon implies that she would be on the character select screen whether or not someone obtained the DLC. That's true, though it's potentially because he was unlocked in the build they were showing off (since he'll be ready for release while Marie won't be). Either way, yeah, it isn't final.

It might be an odd thing to be troubled by, but I really can't envision the final character select screen having no on-screen "Random" icon with the option being relegated to a button, which is what the select screen in that trailer would lean one to think if Margaret were to replace the one on the upper-left corner.

Mode page updated to the website with Lobby and Network. Lobby mode video. Edit: Beaten.

That Famitsu article also talks about something at the bottom. Something about Famitsu presenting the "latest P4AU info" in next week's issue (or is it the 21st's?) and there being a DLC appendix in the subsequent issue? It would presumably mean there would be something like a comprehensive list of information concerning all the Ultimax DLC that we know of now in the issue after the next Famitsu issue that would have the "latest P4AU info."

New Margaret pics. She's got about a million Persona cards, in actuality.

Related to "boss characters", ASW's page for Golden Arena Mode mentioned how characters will fight a special boss character every 5 stages to gain special skills that aren't obtainable in regular fights.

Admittedly, I didn't look into it, so my thoughts went straight to what Xrd is doing with M.O.M. characters. So there's a screenshot associated with the caption "Boss Characters"? What does it show? Edit: Oh, it must be that Yu vs. Yosuke pic. Nothing indicative there, but it does indeed lack a GAM UI. Edit 2: Yeah, it's sounding like SA characters if there's no indication of GAM at all.

Pretty sure it's referring to using GAM characters outside of that mode, like how Xrd lets players use M.O.M. characters online. Um, so? It says boss characters, not unlimited characters. The wording might be too vague to actually determine what it is right now.

P4AU confirmed for September 30 NA/SA release.

Definitely not something one should look into too deeply.

Ah, that's true, though maybe it's both? Either way, it's unsure now.

More of a topic for Zepp, but this is probably not referring to who you think.

Thursday in Japan, like every week, which means 11:00 AM EDT tomorrow. As per usual, we should be getting some Margaret scans by then (possibly earlier), followed by additional screenshots that weren't in the magazine on the Atlus x Famitsu blog on Friday, at approximately 11:00 AM EDT as well.

The P4AU roster is excellent. Ten's a nice, round number, though. With Margaret confirmed now, though, there aren't any more (clear) indications of an upcoming character. No DLC card numbers, no website hints, no A5 clear file art...

For Rise, it was the same week she was announced (April 22 - April 24). For Ken, it was the week after he was announced (May 20 - May 29). For Adachi, it was two weeks after he was announced (June 3 - June 19). For Marie, it was the week after she was announced (July 15 - July 24). So yeah, most likely we'll be getting Margaret's next week, but things might change a bit since the game's close to release.

Confirmed via Famitsu leak.

No pics (as has been the norm with the other Famitsu character leaks), but we might know what Personas she uses soon enough. And as I say this: "Yoshitsune, Cu Chulainn and Ardha.": https://twitter.com/hc0519/status/496601692796747776

Margaret confirmed as Persona 4 Arena Ultimax character. She uses three different Personas in order to fight.

Zen and Rei from Persona Q will be lobby avatars (not to mention the P3 version of Aigis as a bonus lobby avatar). Your theory doesn't work.

Not that we should look into the character select screen layout for future character possibilities, but there is absolutely no way that there won't be a dedicated random button on there. No other (modern) ASW game has omitted one, and think about the arcade versions of the game that wouldn't have a dedicated random button or people who play with arcade sticks that would possibly not have one either. Edit: Here are three possible layouts I came up with if we are to assume the following: Margaret will be a playable character, there will be a random icon on the char. select and that the overall layout will not change in the final game: Theory 1 Theory 2 Theory 3

To be clear, one does not need to own the game, physically or otherwise, to download the free DLC characters. You just need to go on PSN/XBL during the period of time they're free on those services, and download them, whether or not you own the game, and you're good. — Source

It'd be even weirder if that version was the Japanese version. There should be no reason for that one, specifically, to be locked. I don't like how we still don't have a concrete answer and how Atlus USA has announced the official release date for Persona Q when there still isn't one for P4AU, but region locking the JPN version would be crazy.

Much farther from my place, but I suppose it being potentially cheaper would be the counterbalance. For it, if it brings in more people.

Adachi stomping on people would look so out of character. His throw is much more how I envision him acting, leaving the savage acts for Magatsu Izanagi.
