Persona Series Takes Next Logical Step: A Fighting Game

A Persona 3 & 4 fighting game made by ASW? Talk about a dream come true. Don't hate. Even has some Jojo's elements with the personas in the gameplay.

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.

Don't laugh. Arc System Works makes fun fighting games.

Fuck.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I have to buy a Vita now.

I think BlazBlue kind of sucks but even that won't stop me from getting excited about this ridiculous, ridiculous thing.

Aww, no 3DS?

Persona has only been on sony systems, making this new fighting game the first to expand elsewhere which i doubt the coming ones will follow suite to going to multi console.

wait if Persona 4 The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena... takes place after persona 4 chronologically, then does that mean considered canon in the persona world?

Great! This means I can get rid of my PS2.

Galactic Punt! (B, DB, D, DF, F + KKK)

God damn it, I have to get a vita now.

Hell fucking yes.

Day one purchase is confirmed. Both games, and a Playstation Vita.

I love you Atlus.

Damn it....now I have to get a PS Vita
 
And I'm buying that fighting game too, well played Atlus
 
But man the game I really want is Persona 5, get on with that Atlus!

Between this Persona fighting game and Catherine appearing on PS3/360, I'm starting to get a little hopeful about Persona 5 doing the same. Hope that will surely be crushed.

Goddammit, they just sold me a Vita.

Fuck sake, i guess i need to buy more hardware that i dont even want,

Ah dammit!! I don't  have a Vita :'(
Even though I've finished Persona 4 3 times and watched the Endurance Run maybe three times, I still want P4P! (That is what I'm going to start calling it)
As for the fighting game...weird but, cool. I'll definately check it out!

vita only?! fuck this gay earth.

Pretty excited for this, but I still need to play some Shin Megami Tensei games (Starting with Devil Survivor, but my DS Lite won't charge)

The main character not being named Charlie makes me sad.

I can't play fighting games for shit but yes.

Unless Charlie Tunoku makes an appearance somehow on these, I'm out!

Yukari vs Yukiko?  Junpei vs Yosuke?  Teddy (Kuma) vs...Aigis or Koromaru?  Hmm... well, regardless of how the fighting game functions, I'm a big enough fan that I'll probably pick it up when it hits consoles.  P3 male protagonist vs. P4 male protagonist, that would be the fight I'd like to see.  I wonder how they'll incorporate the Persona?  Special attacks or something like that I guess.  I have no knowledge of how the BlazBlue games work but now I am curious.

I am not buying a Vita.

You know if they can make a fighter out of Final Fantasy characters i dont see any reason why Persona wouldnt work lol.

Persona + fighting game from the team behind BlazBlue + xbox release = take all my money

Hmm... I'm getting a Vita when this is released in the west. P4 is enough for me to buy one.

If this plays like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sign me up.

I am fucking hype as shit.

Persona 4 The Golden sounds cool, been waiting on this to happen for a long time. Though i hope this doesn't make them put Persona 5: the death of the emo kids on hold.

Whatever the Persona BlazBlue game is in, I'll buy. Vita? Guess so. I need that game. I need it all over my face.

Can I be Jack Frost and fight Pyro Jack in the battle of the century?

Because if not, I'm not interested!

I'm hoping that they go ahead and call P4's main character Charlie Tunoku.

Heck yeah! Sounds awesome. I love the Persona series, in large part because I think the characters are great.

All this Persona news is blowing my feeble mind!

This feels extremely crazy to me: I have been envisioning a Persona fighting game for about 2 years now.  It would have controlled similarly to BlazBlue and included characters from Persona 2-4, Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga.  I guess I was partially right, though.  Then again, we could see some DLC characters from the other games I mentioned.   
 
I wonder if they'll have a "The wheel of fate is turning" reference in there somewhere...

I took that Persona 4 screenshot in an emulator at 1080p. We might not be getting a HD Persona 4, but I think it will be more than impressive on the Vita.

Maining Yosuke, aka the guy who should have been the main character.

Oh great now  I need both a Vita and a working PS3 or 360. Damn you Atlus!

why would they, the endurance run is not at all that popular (also it sounds like he's being named Yu Narukami, which is what he was named in the manga & anime)

What is this? I don't even...

I'm swinging by my local arcade and asking if they are jumping on this. They were the first arcade in the country with a TvC machine. Might be right up their alley.

WHAT.

I just got sold a Vita!

I hope Ultimate Mayonnaise whatever Arena gets into EVO.

It would be worth it to see Noah Galactic Punt Daigo. Just... think about that for a moment, the room at EVO might not go insane, but this website might just break into tiny pieces.

Teddie will just go over 9000 and own anyone. I am playing as him

Scrub League for P4Fighter.

Finally, a Persona game I can get through (no offense to the games, I just don't have time to play RPGs these days)

 This site at the very least will explode due to the traffic...
