Atlus + Arc System Works = Nerd Wet Dream

Seriously, these screen shots look so good!

looks nice!

for a second there, in my mind before clicking on your link.....

I had a jojo's bizzare adventure flashback! Maybe the game will have something similar to that..... hmm

Arc System did a cross-genre fighting for Sengoku Basara, don't know how that one was.

Yeah, we were talking about this in the Persona general gaming thread. This collaboration is seriously amazing, and it looks like Arcsys nailed P4's style with the HUD and art. I say if anyone is to be trusted with a fighting game, it's Arc.

This has to be the most unexpected videogame announcement of 2011. Not in a million years would i have expected a canonical oficial persona 4 fighting game. I didn't expect it to be multiplattform either. Knowing who are the developers, it's expected to be more than a decent fighting game. I can tell you right now it's going to dissapoint some fans though, because despite being a persona 4 spin off people take it like a Shin Megami Tensei battle arena, which it is not.

I don't expect a lot of characters from persona 3, specially considering the fact that the roster seems a little limited at this point. I won't expect Persona 2 characters at all, neither character from shin megami tensei, devil summoner or any other SMT subseries or a black frost playable character. It's a persona 4 fighting game. You probably knew already, but a LOT of people over the net are getting overhyped about this game.

And revive. Not sure if anyone caught this, but here's the first trailer for P4U.

I don't know about you guys, but from the looks of the trailer, it looks like they're using a system similar to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

So if I'm interpreting the trailer correctly, it'll be the 8 protagonists of P4 with Aegis of P3. Seems like a small roster to me.

[Veno]

I was hoping that wasn't the case. But the games not done yet, so I'm sure they'll add more characters as the months pass by. Hopefully, it's got a bigger roster than Blazblue. I mean, Blazblue's a good series, and I enjoyed it for a time and all, but I grew tired of it pretty quickly.

Wow; that looks gorgeous! I love how there is no trace of slowdown anywhere; everything is fluid, fast, and at a rock-solid framerate. That's how a fighting game should run.
