    So do you guys think this is just the FeMC, or a regular party member? Personally, I'm a bit anxious about how they'll be able to keep most of the original script intact after dropping a new character in there. This  IS Atlus we're talking about here though, so I'm confident they'll pull it off.

    Marie is a sexy mail girl. 
     
    So she's not the female protagonist, if there even is one.

    Is it Mary or Marie... I'm rusty on my Kana : ( I got the impression she was a party member from the article I read... I guess we'll have to wait for a proper translation.

    Regardless of her name and how it is spelled, I am interested in seeing what this character is like.

    I think she's probably just a new social link. Which is fine with me.

    @benjaebe: But for there to be a new slink there would need to be a new tarot school and a new class of demons. Are there more tarot schools? I don't even know.

    Hmm... I see katakana 'ma' and 'ri' I believe in the scan. Sounds more like Marie to me, but whatever, Atlus USA will make it whatever they like.

    @Starclopsofish: Oh yeah, hmmm. Would seem odd applied to a character without the same level of significance that Aigis has, at least to me. But that would totally work.

    It's also a bannable offense at NeoGAF. It's because magazines make money by having exclusivity to this information and people scanning them and posting them online isn't good for their business... or something.

    No, that wouldn't be a big deal, P3P had, like, 10+ new Slinks.

    well nothing I can do about it now since it was quoted, so I'll chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.

    but from what people have gleaned from these scans, it sounds like she may be a playable character able to go into the TV... at least as much as I've heard, who really knows, I'm just waiting until they announce femc and I can date Kanji

    TUIMA an acronym for something? Furthermore, is it another artbook from Soejima? That's was pretty cool.

    The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena aka the Persona 4 fighting game. It's just from Famitsu though, so I don't think there's any implication of an art book just yet.

    There are not many "love" options for a female protagonist like they could do in Persona 3 Portable , I mean Yosuke? he´s like your bro the sames as Jumpei (and there was his thing with Chidori) , Kanji? that would make his whole "make me a man !,I like ladies? please Naoto be a girl" be completly pointless, Tedd... Yeah so there´s none for a possible female lead and while I would like a new character as a Wild card , I think a new Party member would be pretty cool (make her use Ice so I don´t have to use teddie for a second playtough and I sign up) , or hell make her a wild card that would be pretty cool too and it can tied up with the whole online help wich isn´t clear to what is going to be as of now

    @AngelN7: Yosuke would totally work, because the thing with Chidori is that Chidori is still alive (saki is not), Kanji, well, Kanji owns and if I could date him as a dude I would do that too, and fuck Teddie.

    I would like to point out that Kanji isn't gay. More specifically, his sexuality was left deliberately arbitrary and was for the player to decide. Regardless, he's still awesome and he's totally worth a FeMC for.

    @Laketown: Yeah I guess but Yosuke would be the only one , I still think he´s your brosky regardless of gender he wouldn´t want to date his "Partner" and would he be up to go into fisticuffs with you as a girl? also you get to the house and get a :  welcome home Big Sis? that sounds laaaame, so there no female lead period.

    @AngelN7: the social link would obviously change quite significantly, in which you wouldn't end up in fisticuffs. YOUD END UP BONIN. and if I recall they created more characters for P3P social link stuff so there's no reason they can't create a new guy character for the femc to date or whatever.

    New character looks awesome, but…! Does anyone else remember that, back in November 2008, Atlus swore that there would only be one version of Persona 4? Seriously, check this out:

    “We are today able to announce that at no point in the future will we announce the release of a 'FES' version of Persona 4,” said Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The very finest, most definitive version of Persona 4 will be the one released on December 9, 2008.”

    Those lying bastards.

    Development moved to PlayStation Vita where the team believed they could make a game with even more features than the original. Persona 4: The Golden will not have a female protagonist, though.

    http://www.siliconera.com/2011/08/30/persona-4-the-golden-was-originally-planned-for-psp/

    I've wanted a platinum trophy for Persona 4 for so long and now I can finally get it! I'm hoping the "feature that fans wanted" is the ability to choose which skills you want when fusing, and hooray for more animated cutscenes and voice acting!

    You guys are crazy: it's obviously a female MC, like they did for P3P. 
     
    I'm looking forward to the fighting game more; it is a completely unknown quantity, which means it can impress me that much more.

    No need to edit the thread title, at least until an official spelling can be sourced.
     
    マリー (marii) can go either way; it just depends on the creator/translator's preference.
     
    "Mary", "Marie", "Maré", whatever, they're all the same.

    You meet Marie in the Velvet Room, where she starts off as an "unfriendly-looking girl" that you know from somewhere. Based on what I've played so far, I'm guessing she'll be a bit like Aigis, where you take her around town and melt the giant ice block containing her soul.
