We've known that for a while now.

It was just confirmed today by Atlus, because usually the end of the month release date is a placeholder set by retailers.

Also they updated their website with the new character profiles. Everyone but Marie has theirs up now. No videos yet though!

I'll update my question: Will this game have the dubious honour of being the second region-locked PS3 game ever?

Not this time, no! In fact it's probably not going to be delayed as hard as the last one either, because now that Sega owns Atlus they don't have to go through Zen Digital. This'll be their first title released in Europe without that sort of publishing deal, though; who knows what the wait's actually going to be.

Yeah I'm probably going to ship it over, then. It'll end up cheaper anyway because 60 dollars translates to 60€ in the EU. :rolleyes:

Sega has more than Sonic to its name you know. Sonic Team is really they're only black mark (and that seems to be changing since the last two games kicked rear end.)

Sega Sammy is one of those weird video game conglomerates that ended up having a ton of weird poo poo.

Pachinko machines, Hatsune Miku games and PC RTSes are what's keeping the Sonic train going. Let Sonic die.

Yea Sega also has the Total War series and a few other PC exclusives.

But basically, pachinko money is big time cash.

New trailer is up, showing off the lobbies. Normally that wouldn't be too interesting. However at the 1:39 mark, they show off one of the characters from Persona Q, in lobby form.

Possible they just transfered sprites from Persona Q to save some time. They look very similar to the Persona Q versions at least.

His shadow sounds exactly like Adachi in the shadow world. I know it's the same VA, but I mean the same intonation and everything.

I dunno, I kind of like it for that. Drawing parallels with Adachi is kind of neat, especially after the Adachi S. Link happened.

The clip of her talking to Rise at Junes has Yukiko credited as 'Dark-haired girl' instead of her name, like the focus of that story doesn't actually know her. That... could be something, but it's honestly just as likely that it's part of Junpei's story or whatever and he's just watching the two talk.

Crossposting from the Let's Watch Pro Fighting Games thread since it's probably more appropriate here. Atlus is streaming P4A2 at the moment, showing off the Golden Arena mode which incorporates RPG elements into the game with character progression, passive skills, etc.: http://www.twitch.tv/atlususa

AtlusUSA has a couple "Play with the Pros" videos up on their Youtube channel at the moment, wherein they brought in a couple local competitive fighting game players to show off the changes to their character of choice from the old game. They've covered Akihiko/Shadow Akihiko and Kanji/Shadow Kanji so far. The Kanji video also features Matthew Mercer, who also plays some in a third video because he's going to take part in some kind of grudge match at Wednesday Night Fights at Super Arcade tonight.

Akihiko video: http://youtu.be/hDSjsRc9kn8
Kanji video: http://youtu.be/0tCflXzSXCM
The Education of Kanji Tatsumi: http://youtu.be/T811lBnKV0w

At 8PM PST (2.5 hours from now), the P4AU showcase which should include that grudge match will be on: http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive

Edit: I only just noticed that I counted the hours wrong earlier. Go me.
