Persona 4 Arena

Persona 4 Arena Video Tutorial is Fighting Talk
Written Wednesday, May 02, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Here’s a new vid for Persona 4 Arena, providing a tutorial on how to play the game. “The joystick controls the character,” apparently. Who knew?

A fighter made by genre stalwarts Arc System Works, Persona 4 Arena ties into the respected JPRG series by being set two months after the events of Persona 4. It features characters from both Persona 4 and Persona 3, plus the gorgeous art style you’ll see in the trailer. It’s also utterly, utterly gorgeous. 

Persona 4 Arena is out in August.

Looks fun but also awkwardly different from Blazblue in terms of button combinations.

Also, still hate the new video player.

@5 Don't be fooled. This is a Persona game in name only. They took the characters from the series and awkwardly shoehorned them into the most unnecessary spin-off fighting game ever. If you want a Persona game, get Persona 3 for the PSP.

As much as I love Teddy from Persona 4... why on earth they made him so damn... *shudders* in "Voice Acting". The problem? The Japanese version of his voice over is just as bad, I guess he was destined to be an annoying character.

@5

Like 7 just said, this is not a Persona game. I'd suggest getting a PS2 for Persona 3 if you really want to play one. Or Persona 3 Portable, but it cuts out some of the awesome anime cutscenes and voices (still, its a super great port).

Fighting? I wish Persona 4 is adventure rpg like PS2 version did but this time on Xbox 360. Shame isn't but at least bring Persona series onto Xbox 360 this time that is good thing to see. :)

it's sad teddy and chie's voice is changed but. this kind of game will sell well with a much larger audience. casual gamers can get into fighting games much easier then rpgs. the fact it's getting an american release so close to the japanese is proof if we support this project we may see a persona 5 in our lifetimes xD. the fact it has a 360 release as well is encouraging that we may see more persona games on the xbox as well as ps.

Eh, I don't think I'd be going for this. But I have heard that they're bringing Persona 4 to the Vita, so there's that.

#4, this game's story is canonical. It takes place two years after the RPG and even includes characters from Persona 3.

#7, don't knock it before you try it, Arc System Works is an incredible fighting game studio and there are actually a bunch of mechanics that add some fresh elements to the fighting game genre. Considering that Shin Megami Tensei ranges from dungeon crawler to strategy RPG to even having dating sim elements, a fighting game really isn't that hard to fathom.

Teddie's voice sounds completely different then it did in the PS2 game. Rise's voice sounds about the same though.

Man, I really hope they let you switch the voices to Japanese. Atlus doesn't usually do that, but there is nothing worse than a dubbed over fighting game. Every single fighter I have ever played had absolutely intolerable english acting.

Please god, Atlus, leave the original voices alone!

Honestly people what is the problem? They're remaking Persona 4 for the Vita and they announced Persona 5 already in the works. If they want to make a fighting game too, then they can. What's so bad about that? haha
There are people out there who like fighting games you know.

I'm really looking forward to this. I just wish there were more characters from P3. I played that one a lot more than P4. Show me Shinji and/or MC and I'll definitely buy this.

I've been waiting for a new, interesting fighting series (even if this game is going to be a one-and-done) and with it being developed by Arc Systems (you can see the GG influences) I have complete faith in it being a fun and eye-catching game!

I'll be buying this come August. Thank you, Atlus! :D
