I love how I got all these "testimonials" from shills who don't 
watch anime, know nothing about Japanese culture, but want
to get this game that I call shit.  Nobody's stopping you from
wasting your money on it.  I still think it's paigu though.  Having
never played Persona, why the living hell would I want to play
it on my Xbox or PC?  It's like starting with Empire Strikes Back
after never seeing Star Wars.  Fuck that.

OH YEAH WELL I POLITELY DISAGREE!!!
How can you disagree? This is a game. How is this not a game? This is a video game website. You know that, right?
The game no one who reads this site will ever play? RELEVANT!

A good chunk of the GB user base is at the very least interested in this game. Why? The ER. The ER was a huge thing for Giant Bomb and a game based on the game that was the focus of the first ER should be featured on the site. Also, with your logic, GB shouldn't have put up QLs for Jerry and Nitus' Dog Football and Six Flags Fun Park.

I was expecting Charlie Tuna to somehow become a character in this game. Alas, Atlus.

If there ends up being a US release, I imagine Charlie Tunoku may find its way in there somewhere. ;)
Also why do people keep thinking that is going to happen? Seriously? XP

Because for some, the Endurance Run is their only frame of reference for all things Persona 4.

Thats kinda sad actually... You sad sad people.

Great ad. Looks like those old Neo-Geo fighters with the pausing and juggling. Can't wait for the QL.

Way to generalize an entire fan base. I'll just go back to laying between my Chie and my Cammy body pillows and crying my self to sleep.

@Lind_L_Taylor: I don't know. I mean, I am definitely not into anime (honestly, I could probably name some but I don't think I've ever seen legit anime before) and I think this game looks pretty cool. The developer seems to have a knack for making great 2-D art and the Endurance Run of Persona 4 made me fall in love with that game. I'm not even a fighting game fan and I can honestly see myself picking this up.

This is being made by Arc System Works, a company with mad fighting game chops.  This is going to be a good game, Otaku fans or no.

Looks potentially pretty awesome. As long as Japan keeps making strange stuff like this and we get it here in NA, I'm happy.

Commander Teddie looks so rad. There simply MUST be an unlockable meat dimension stage. Fingers crossed.
 
P.S. Hey guys, why all the drama? I thought there were no girls on the internet. Jk, jk.

Is Jeff's description of the video a reference to Subzero's MK1 fatality?

It's the Shoryuken from Street Fighter; I presume that the 'HP' he wrote is him using the old terminology of "Hard Punch" in this instance.

Wow, chie has a really girly voice in Japanese. Not a fan.

As much as I like persona 4, this seems entirely pointless.

Calm down, children. It doesn't matter who on this site will actually play it. Just the fact that you're willing to have this random shouting match about the game is proof enough of its relevance to GB users. Besides, whether or not anyone's interested had nothing to do with why it was posted. Jeff clearly saw the trailer, thought of a joke, wasn't presented with a contextual excuse to tell it to Vinny in a real conversation, and decided he didn't want to wait for that opportunity to arise naturally. So not wanting to sit on the joke for an indeterminate amount of time, he resorted to the roundabout method of posting this video on the site as an excuse to use the joke he thought up as the tag line.

No, I get your point. But the fact that I've never ever thought of "Charlie fan fiction" and that is a concept that popped in your mind is more creepy than anything.

If you're implying that everyone who loves Persona 4 here loves it because of the Endurance Run, you're a hypocrite.

I didn't mean that you had to like it. I was referring to when you said "The game no one who reads this site will ever play? RELEVANT!" This game is relevant to a ton of users.

I still got love for the Persona 4 world and characters. I hope there's more story elements in this fighter to expand on the fiction. And  unlike Jeff I think ARC makes mostly good fighting games. In other words, I'll be playing it.
