Persona Series Takes Next Logical Step: A Fighting Game

I hope there's a Score Attack mode. Y'know, for Teddie.

Also: Gimme my Tekken X Persona game. I want to play as Gun Jack Frost, ho!

Persona 4 The Ultimate In Mayonaka ER would be awesome. It would document Jeff's quest to become the best P4:TUIM tournament player in the entire world.

I beat Persona 4 five times, and I have no reason to buy a Vita. Then they announce a game for Vita that I've beaten five times.
 
I pre-ordered a Vita.

Chie naturally has to be a playable character in the fighting game.

Sony handheld...good...exclusives...what? I... ... godamnit.

Black Frost v Kanji (in lingerie), is a fighting game I will preorder the limited edition for.

Yea YEA!

I'm gonna fight as Chie! Galactic Punt!

I absolutely love the shot of the character select screen. Chie's pose there looks great.

Illogical decisions that make no sense to sane people make me giddy with joy.

Wow, just kind of unreal. This might be enough for me to buy a Vita.

These are good things!

I've been heavily into fighting games since last year. Probably my current favourite game genre.

I love Giant Bomb and their Persona 4 Endurance Run was ridiculously entertaining. Oddly enough I just started watching it all again from the start. And despite never actually playing a Persona game I love that series too.

I hope Atlus go from strength to strength.

Oh, and Droplitz is the shit.

Oh man, between these and the anime, we're about to get so much Persona 4, and I just could not be happier about it.

For all 3 games?

Yes.

Well, probably not P4 Vita.

Cool. I now have my reason to buy a PSV.

God's Hand confirm to be Chie's move, awesome!

Oh man, I totally didn't even notice that until just now, that is the best.

Arc System Works knows how to make a solid fighter, so I have high hopes for this.

High quality 2D sprites of Persona characters. I need this.

This seems like the most crazy, yet amazing thing ever. I'm going to be very sad if this is never released on consoles stateside. I feel I need to at least try it, and a flight to Japan to play it in an arcade would be just a little expensive.

YES

I wish I had played Persona and watched the endurance run. Then I would have been so hyped for this!

You can start now. The ER of Persona 4 is the best thing ever done on Giant Bomb. You should do yourself the favor.

Wait... Arcsys is making this?  This... I... this could be an actual legitimate fighting game.  
 
gimme.  naow. 

yes I've always wanted to play persona 4

What? WHAT? Persona fighting game? I guess that's kinda cool, but I don't know how much I'll actually enj- FROM ARC SYSTEM WORKS?

It's like I'm having a Persona wet dream. Just shut up and take my money, guys.

3 new endurance runs? Awesome. 

I can't wait to platinum P4 Vita!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!

Aigis will be my main. Callin' it now.

...the vita is suddenly looking a lot more appealing...

PERSONA!

Fuck you Sony/Atlus for selling me a handheld. I don't want one.

Starting an online petition for Funky Student as a secret character. Or as overpowered and cheap last boss.

He'll be god tier fasho.

A Persona fighting game for the Vita? Thanks, but I want an RPG not a fighting game. Guess it could be somewhat cool, but I would rather have a P4Portable if they are going the portable route. Or P5, P5 would make me buy a Vita.

@dagas: You misread, the Vita game is an upgraded re-release of Persona 4. The fighting game is coming to 360 and PS3.

The fact that P4 is coming to Vita means I'll probably have to go through and play it for myself finally. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

Well they just sold me a Vita.

....wha? Gaggesdwerf? HUH? Wh-why?

So preordering both.

Chie confirmed for god tier.

I will buy ALL OF IT.

Fuck, now I have another reason to get a Vita

Why do I have the feeling that this game will not be good?

Well at least it's made by Arc System Works, so it should be as appropriately insane as a Persona fighting game should be.

WTF IS GOING ON? THIS IS LIKE CHRISTMAS, EASTER AND MY BIRTHDAY IN ONE DAY?

Although to be fair...a fighting game? HAHA that prospect makes me laugh.
