ArcSystemWorks are busy not working on another Guilty Gear again.
It's a fighting game based on the PS2 JRPG Persona 4. It's to be released in arcades in Spring 2012 in Japan and on PS3 and 360 in Summer.

Holy. Sh¡T!

Since I consider P4 the 2nd-best thing on PS2, I am HYPED! I hope it takes some cues from JoJo's. Also, Chie is mai waifu (so I got dibs)

HOLY CRAP YES!!!!!!!!!!

As long as it plays like GG/BB I'll buy it, although has ArcSys ever done a fighter that wasn't like Guilty Gear?

stev0knev022 · 31-08-2011 4:46am

I'm fkn hype for this.

I would love if they tried a new system for this, Blazblue is not completely dead, so they can try something new and exciting for this, especially since the Persona team are "intimately involved" on the development.

And it's getting an arcade release!

Would their Sengoku Basara or Hokuto no Ken fighters count?

I haven't played either of these games but I watched some videos and it looks like they both play like Guilty Gear, or probably more like Arcana Heart. Although having never played them I can't say for sure. However if the Persona 4 game plays like any of these I'll still play it.

ArcSys keeping up a good tradition of strong ankled fighters.

Looks colourful

Seems there is going to be a playable version at TGS this year! Probably a very early version but it's pretty cool to see some in-game actual play so early after an announcement...

There's also been a confirmation of a 4 button set up, which makes me think possibly A-B-C regular attacks with D being your Persona's set up. Just speculating though

Monkeyto · 07-09-2011 4:12pm

And we got an official website...in Japanese: http://p-atlus.jp/p4u/

There are no gameplay details at the site yet, but as the game's arcade version is scheduled to go playable next week at Tokyo Game Show...

We expect you to be randomselect.ie's Japanese correspondent.

TGS is your first assignment.

It'll probably be Zen United. They do BlazBlue, Guilty Gear and Arcana Heart - Arc System Work's other fighters.

And since Zen is involved, yes, we will be enjoying the waiting game for quite a while.

Although given that they seem to be more interested in us being able to rest our wrists between Mei-Fang's breasts than actually bringing games out on time, the waiting game is still very much on (and on and on and on...).

Zen United or Ghostlight probably.

K.O.Kiki · 09-09-2011 1:36am

But we'll probably be importing from USA anyway.

Chie seems to have some of Kuradoberi Jam's kick moves from GG.

Just a heads up on this that Zen United will indeed be publishing this in Europe for 2012.
Not a whole lot of information aside from that, but there ya go.

It'll be out in JPN on July26th, which is the same day as Aqua Pizza Pazza.

Both game are REALLY popular right now, Persona has a tonne of machines in Akihabara and they are always busy in the evenings. I think it'll do well sales wise. Interestingly enough, Persona is the first game that I've seen more than a handful of female gamers play together in the arcade too. Usually you may see a few of them on Aqua Pazza, and even fewer on SFIV (if at all).

Might pick this up for a larf when I stop off in Tokyo

..though probably not. I have no interest in playing this game. Have you tried it out, Monkey?

Doctor DooM · 30-05-2012 11:21am

Have to say of all the Arcsys fighters this one is easily the most visually attractive to me. Think it's the bright colours and the character designs seem a little less... Arcsys-ee, probably because another team was behinf them

Monkeyto · 31-05-2012 2:10am

Yeah I have played it a good bit. For me, it feels very BB, and honestly I wouldn't be able to tell the subtle difference between the 2. Visually it's a feast.

I'll buy it when it comes out, along with AP. It's a fun game and I prefer the chars in this to BB. Kuma is good fun for trolling!

They still managed to have 2 characters with no feet though.

Can't say I've been terribly interested in this, probably will buy it and play it for a week anyway because.... I dunno I must hate myself. :pac:
