That is one super-ridiculous fanservice outfit that chick's wearing.

That's it, i'm giving up on Atlus until they either start making games that look fun again, or remake SMT1 since they love remakes so much.

I can only hope Raidou will be in the fighter, even as a Naoto outfit.

How would that Mary chick be playable? She's talking. :stare:

Wait, why is that a fanservicey outfit? It looks pretty normal to me, apart from the skirt being on the short side.

Maybe this is part of a section of the story where the MC returns to the city, and runs into her or something. Probably could happen during one of those slow periods of the plot. That or during the field trip.

So, a fanservicey looking character totally indicates how 'fun' a game is, particularly a game that is one of the most loved games of its given franchise. I see.

How have you managed to play anything from Japan? Like, ever?

Regardless of your actual opinion on the games (I mean, you have a BB avatar), both Guilty Gear and Blazblue have indeed been 'well-received'.

I spent years playing arcade GG and anyone will tell you that it's one of the best 2D fighters, unfortunately it was designed by the people who worked at ASW 10+ years ago whereas BB's made by the guys working for them now and if you think BB has been "well-received" you and I understand that term very differently

Her VA tends to do work for fanservicy younger girls in most shows she's in, but I did like her in .hack//Quantum. I guess we'll see if she's typecast or not.

Someone I'm talking with is citing the fact that multiple party members are present on one screenshot indicates that she's more than JUST an S-Link. Unfortunately I don't know if that means she's a certified party member yet.

That's the opposite of every other character (except Teddie) having some sort of style sense.

I was thinking mostly of Guilty Gear when I wrote that, and I didn't realize that most of the GG team members were gone at this point. That does explain why I don't particularly care for BlazBlue though. Still, regardless of its popularity (or lack thereof) in the fighting game community relative to other series, the games do get favorable reviews, and they keep getting made, so "well-received" is an apt enough description.

Edit: P.S. Thanks for destroying any optimism I had for the supposed eventual return of Guilty Gear. It's going to end up being terrible, isn't it. :(

Don't they already have the "city kid in the sticks" thing covered with both the main character and Yosuke? Even Adachi is from the city and bitter about it.

remake SMT1

At this point it's pretty obvious that after P4P the next thing Atlus is gonna do is remake Eternal Punishment. I just hope they don't do that and actually make either P5, Raidou 3 or SMT5 instead of remaking poo poo again and again and again.

But if they must remake something, Soul Hackers is a drat good candidate. I'd be more interested in that than pretty much anything else they could remake at this point.

They've got to remake EP considering the plan was to put IS and EP into the same game, but they didn't have the space. It'd be a bit of a dick move to make one half of P2 but not the other.

That said, I do wish they'd get to work on P5 already.

Marie/Mary looks like the lost love child of the Persona 4 protagonist and Catherine, to me.

More importantly, is that the P4MC and Yosuke on mopeds in the second picture? I'm calling it now, illegal street racing hot moped action minigame.

I suspect it's her nickname. It's the only name listed there after all, not that and a last name or anything.

You might be right. And in your favor, her hair isn't blonde or red or anything and I think that's some kind of anime rule for foreign characters.

Yeah exactly, it didn't occur to me for a second that she would be foreign (western anyway), the Japanese WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE that westerners can have dark hair too.

Also I don't think they associate that kind of clothes with the west either, rather with specific places in Tokyo.

I was going through the title list in DS:OC, and when they say "Finish without any deaths" does that mean without anyone in your party getting KO'd, or not saving anyone from their death clock?

If I can make Teddie wear his fabulous outfit inside of dungeons then I guess I'm going to have to buy a Vita. Those scenes with Yosuke though are pretty interesting, looks like he finally found the money to buy that motorcycle. Have to say the most important detail I'm noticing is that on the persona fusion screen the inherited skills are "blank", please tell me this means they're using Devil Survivor's system for skill inheritance.

So if the fighting game is made by the Blazblue people, I guess we can expect some crazy long story mode? Should be interesting if they have the Persona writers write the actual story. A fighting game. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. :psyduck:

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. Either that or his Alice costume. Really all the guys should have their cross-dressing clothes for dungeon crawling.

Ok nevermind the fabulous outfit, I better be able to have Teddie wear what he's wearing here.
Looks like the roster for the fighter so far is : Minato, Yu, Chie, Aegis, and Yosuke. Not sure on who the Emperor person is, the image is way to whited out to tell if it's Kanji or Akihiko.
