Elizabeth to be added on April 5th, uses Thanatos as her Persona. Labrys becomes playable tomorrow.

Elizabeth is a great choice. Yet another character I wouldn't mind maining.

It sounds like Labrys and Shadow Labrys will actually be separate characters? I figured the "Shadow" versions would just be like Unlimited versions.

It seems since Labrys and her Shadow have different Personas they're counted as different characters. Which makes me wonder if they'll do something like this for other characters, Naoto and Yosuke for example have evolved personas that could lead to very different attacks (Susano-O having that saw blade ring that Jiraiya doesn't, and Yamato-Takeru being twice the size of Sukuna-Hikona).

I posted about her before, but I didn't expect them to actually add Elizabeth. Thanatos though? I was thinking of her infamous pixie megidolaonn nonsense. Guess its plot related.

Also I'm really surprised the arcade cabinets are getting extra dudes already, interesting to see that Labrys is being shown off as she is, rather than being relegated to being console-only. ArcSys, I tip my hat off to you. (Also thank you based ATLUS for bringing in Elizabeth.)

Blazblue also had 10 playables at arcade launch and dropped code unlocks for Hakumen/Nu-13 one-two months after. Shadow Labrys is kind of a curveball though, it makes me wonder whether that's their plan for the new characters they're promising with CS instead of filling out the roster with the P3 cast.

Clearly ATLUS' plan is sticking to what they hear the fans want, and pulling together ArcSys to implement the P3 crew, and then out of nowhere, the P2 cast become the New Kids In School to become the Ultimate Persona users.

I think she's pretty obsessed with the P3 MC, so kind of makes sense she'd get his persona.

Here's some crappy arcade mode footage of playable Labrys:

So far we have...
- Huge loving normals that are also really fast.
- A chargeable unblockable.
- A really dumb loop that does no damage.
- Spencer style zip-line special move. Awesome.
- Some really crazy/huge projectiles.
- Trap setup that holds them in place. This looks really nasty.


Yeah I definitely think this is the character I've been waiting for.

I said come in!

I agree, hopefully it's just a rumor.

There's going to be a whole huge story mode for the game once it hits consoles though, so who the hell knows what will happen!

I imagine him to be just like Bristol from Groove on Fight. Basically all of his normals and special moves are all different demons.

Either that or it'd just be a ludicrously broken Pixie. That would be fun too.

I'd expect both Aigis and Elizabeth to be there for the one reason, so those spoilers wouldn't really surprise me.

Now come on, ArcSYS/Atlus. Yukari. Complete the trifecta.

If they did Demifiend, I could see them doing something along the lines of Young Joseph. That being, instead of having a persona, he'd have other spells/abilities bound to his 'persona' buttons.

I doubt they'd throw him in, though. (Though I would very much like it.)

Yukari got pissed Elizabeth's special enough to have her bf's super Persona, now she's dragging Junpei with her into the TV World to kick her rear end and take names.

It'd also make sense for her and Junpei to even be in the game since otherwise, Yukiko and Yosuke are the only two who're using Agi and Garu spells in the game.

Also Demi-Fiend in P4A would also be one of the best things, just like Elizabeth's inclusion.

Althought I never did finish FES, anyone care to spoil me as to why it would ruin P3 if he got revived?

P3's MC willingly sacrificed their very essence in order to seal away Erebus, the world's collective malice, to prevent Nyx's arrival. That said, there could be other ways of reviving him without undoing the seal. I have heard there are Japanese books based on Aigis and Elizabeth searching for ways to bring him back. Popular speculation for Aigis's role in P4A is that she's searching for another way to revive the MC.

Completely new character just for this game. I heard some say she was mentioned once or something in a previous persona game at least.

Atlus doesn't have a dedicated European arm, they license out their products to European publishers. It's kind of out of their hands if nobody wants to pick it up for the region.

But it's still possible that some niche European publisher like Ghostlight or Rising Star or somebody could do it. Don't lose hope!
