I've never been a huge fan of fighting games, but as a pretty big Persona fan I defiantly plan on getting deep into this game. So far there has been about 13 playable characters announced for Persona 4 Arena from both P3 & P4 (according to the site's wiki). I'm wondering what character you guys are most excited to play as? or if there's a character you think the game would be sorely missing?

Personally out of the announced characters I'm going for Akihiko Senpai. But I really hope they end up putting Yukari in.

I'll probably main Yosuke. Since most of you bombers will take Chie, I'll take the underdog. I like how fast he is and that's usually my preferred fighting style. He also wears headphones while fighting so that's pretty badass.

Yukari.

Oh wait. : (

Elizabeth. She looks cool to play as, with her status effects and heavy reliance on her Persona. If not her, it's probably Shadow Labrys because she's the one main antagonist in the game and I tend to main the bad guys in competitive games.

Naniko

My two hot robot ladies, Aigis and Labrys

#7 Posted by Hailinel (18024 posts) - 1 year, 16 days ago

Yukiko and Mitsuru.

#8 Posted by SlightConfuse (3963 posts) - 1 year, 16 days ago

Mitsuru and akahiko maybe a bit of labrys

#9 Posted by Vorbis (2746 posts) - 1 year, 16 days ago

Akihiko since Rise is obviously not playable.

#10 Edited by BabyChooChoo (3575 posts) - 1 year, 16 days ago

Chie. You ask this question as if there is anyone else worth playing as...

Chie Tier > almost Chie tier > thought about Chie tier > oops I misspelled 'Chie' tier > god tier

#11 Posted by JeanLuc (3309 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

From the gameplay I've seen Chie seems my style and Chie is awesome so its a win-win for me.

#12 Posted by BigChief (503 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Totally playing as Naoto, she's awesome and her playstyle seems fun. Also probably Yu.

#13 Posted by AxleStukov (114 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Junpei.

I mean obviously he'll be in it by the console release if Atlus knows what's good for them.

#14 Posted by mscupcakes (609 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Charlie Tunoku fo' life.

#15 Posted by Mesoian (1553 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Kanji. Folding chair mania.

Kind of wonder if they'll let you rename Yu in the home versions.

#16 Posted by Ketchupp (632 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Whoever has the same voice actor if anyone...

These two since they were my romantic interests when I played the original games. Also, Mitsuru looks hawt.

#18 Edited by ckeats (489 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Either Charlie or Aigis most likely.

Depends how the story mode plays out really. If it forces you to play one character all the time I'll probably stick with that, or if it jumps around from character to character, I'll play as the one I like the most out of that.

#19 Posted by Rehtayne (110 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Probably Yukiko.

#20 Posted by Hizang (8536 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Its a hard choice between Stylish Student and Umbrella Girls Friend.

#21 Posted by Commisar123 (1760 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Well who plays like Ryu? Cuz that one. Also Chie because she appears to be a rush character.

How can you deny funky student?

#23 Posted by MikeGosot (3227 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

I'll main Kanji or Akihiko. If i do not main the guy who beats your teeth out with a chair, i'll main the guy who beats your teeth out with his fists.

#24 Posted by MasturbatingestBear (1136 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Man hopefully Yukari is in it. Putting her, Akhiko, and Mitsuru covers all of the good characters in Persona 3. Either way I can't wait to get my hands on it. I love fighting games but haven't payed any of the ones by this company so I'm excited to get in.

YES

#26 Posted by pyrodactyl (826 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

that guy from persona 5...

Oh wait...

#27 Posted by AlexanderSheen (3532 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Mitsuru and Naoto.

#28 Posted by Soap_of_Death (86 posts) - 1 year, 15 days ago

Kanji or Akihiko, I'm still undecided.

This is the correct answer.

What? Fox isn't the correct answer? Know what i have to say to that? Yip!

#31 Posted by Make_Me_Mad (2708 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

This isn't even a question. Kanji!

#32 Edited by GingerBear (1 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

CHIE!

Can't wait for this game! An arc fighter seems like the appropriate amount of crazy for a Persona game.

PS. anyone know why my icon has reverted and I'm back down to 1 post count?

#33 Posted by sungahymn (963 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

@GingerBear: Seriously? Maybe you should ask Dave, Drew, or Alexis. That seems to be a problem.

#34 Posted by lightsoda (467 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Is Yukari not going to be in the game? That is madness, why wouldn't she be. I refuse to believe.

#35 Posted by AdmiralStupid (75 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Igor

#36 Edited by iAmJohn (5769 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Aha! Is this our chance?

#37 Posted by DonutFever (3005 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

MC, Mitsuru, Elizabeth.

#38 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8943 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Let's see, who was my best character in Blazblue? Oh, that's right. Lambda 11. Who else is a robot girl with fills the screen with projectiles?

#39 Posted by Pepsiman (2285 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

@ArbitraryWater: Charlie.

#40 Posted by Turambar (5724 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Aigis and Aki.  Aki in a mother fucking cape.

#41 Posted by drag (1223 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Aigis.

She's a robot.

#42 Posted by Slay3r1583 (492 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Since those fuckers aren't including Dojima I guess whoever plays most like Jam.

#43 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8943 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

@Pepsiman: Bingo

#44 Posted by AngelN7 (2834 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

MC, he'll probably be the easiest to pick up if not then Naoto because she has a GUN!

#45 Posted by InfiniteGeass (2004 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Yukiko, also known as the best Persona 4 girl.

#46 Posted by Devoid (428 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Akihiko, hopefully. It'll probably be Yu instead, though.

I always want to play "boxer" types, but usually have a hell of a time actually getting in to do damage.

#47 Posted by SilvarusLupus (310 posts) - 1 year, 14 days ago

Naoto and Kanji. >.>

Chie looks fun as well.

#48 Posted by Vade (369 posts) - 1 year, 13 days ago

Akihiko seems like my type of guy. Your typical short range rushdown with fast limbs and dashes. Looks a lot like Zenia.

Then again if the game's more Blazblueish, Mitsuru all the way.

#49 Posted by EvilKatarn (457 posts) - 1 year, 13 days ago

Charlie or Aigis. Too bad they're not including Margaret or Igor.

#50 Posted by bigwhiteyeti (24 posts) - 1 year, 12 days ago

Akihiko Sanada, by default since he has a badass cape and I still prefer Persona 3... Unless they put Yukari in the console version of the game, in which case all bets are off.
