Persona Series Takes Next Logical Step: A Fighting Game

I really wonder how the personas will be worked in for the protagonists. They could have it Arcanna Heart style but that would only make sense for them, they are probably just gonna have their starter.

I wasn't going to get a PSP Vita, but it looks like I am now...

Would LOVE having P4 on a handheld.

EFF YEAH

This is the greatest idea that ever was.

I have long believed a Persona fighting game would be rad. And I don't even like fighting games.

Also, they're just starting on Persona 5?! Tonight, I weep.

I hope the fighting game has a branching story system like Blaz Blue. I sort of hope the vita remake of 4 sucks so that I'm not tempted to buy a vita. I will main Naoto.

Aha!

Vita purchase confirmed.

Wasn't there supposed to be a 3DS Persona game?

I think I'm gonna main Rise. Maybe Chie. Chie will be the new Chun Li.

Rise is mine! don't even try it! Her or Yukari!

Then, like I said, I will stick to Chie. Her Finisher is gonna be some amazing, shoe kicking, steak eating fatality.

Whoa, an Xbox 369 release? That's sweet. Looking forward to hearing more about this strange project.

I'm buying this so hard. This is officially my most anticipated game of 2012.

News like this is awesome!

This is bizarre but wonderful news. I trust arc to make a quality fighter.

Looks like sony knows how to sell Vitas/psp2s/NGPs.. because I am now buying one!

Dissidia Persona

The new character is named Marie. Jesus get your shit together Klepek.

Hm? That's not what it says on Andriasang. Probably multiple translations floating around.

*Patiently waits for a "Dissidia" somewhere in the title*

Vita? That's too bad.

FUCK YES!!!!

Fuck yeah! I will be buying the shit out of this game.

Nameless Persona 3 Protagonist vs. Nameless Persona 4 Protagonist.

That settles it. I'm getting a Vita.

Let it be known here and now:

I call Chidori as my main

Hands off bitches!

Money matches at EVO!

Yeah this really sells me on vita.. first day purchase for console/these games!

bitches! I don't even like fighting games. But...

Wait, doesn't

Nameless Persona 3 Protagonist die?

Yeah. I'm guessing (s)he might not show up in this game. One silent protagonist would probably be enough.

HeyASWMitsuruplease.

• Teddie would never be the type to just go: "Man, I wish my friends would fight against themselves more often. I've gotten a recent taste for violence, so I'll just organize this fighting tournament."
• P4 protagonist goes back to America in the end. It'd be unlikely he'd end up in Japan again only 2 months after he left.

fuck you atlus you just sold me a vita :(

ATLUS TAKE ALL MY MONEY.

Well call me crazy but I think a Persona fighting game would be really stupid...in a bad way.

Fuck. This might have sold me on the Vita. And fighting games.

?   No he doesn't! At least not according to anything canonical.

How awesome would it be if it was just a reskinned mk9

I always presumed he was American (doesn't Dojima say something to that effect, in reference to his sister at one point?), but I don't believe he lives in Japan so wherever he went to, he wouldn't be back only 2 months afterwards.

No. The protagonist is Japanese. The reason he went to live with Dojima is because his parents went overseas for a year.

Finally, dating in a fighting game, can't wait.

Arc System makes some cool fighters, so this is actually cool news. 
 
As for Persona 5, I do not expect it anytime soon. Atlus recently got restructured (the parent company absorbed what they could and will continue to use the name, but still - there have been serious changes there and that never helps development), and they're a relatively small developer anyway. If it took 'em that long to make basically Lode Runner 64 in Catherine, than I don't even wanna think about how long it'll take 'em to make an RPG like Persona 3 with visuals appropriate for an HD era game. 
 
Some Japanese developers - CyberConnect 2, Platinum, Capcom - seem to have gotten the hang of producing games for this generation of consoles. Others have struggled to move beyond PS2-game making techniques and pipelines. Atlus is definitely one of the ones hurting to change, though at least they haven't gone running back to the PSP and DS like some, unfortunately, have chosen to do.

I am crying tears.

@Hailinel: @mutha3: Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I misremembered. Well, I guess it does make sense that "Souji" would visit Inaba again that early, then. But that still doesn't explain Teddie's newfound bloodlust!

Can any of the weirder shit that Teddie does fall in the realm of the explainable?

I'd actually consider getting a vita for this. If its not 10 billion dollars.

Well, here are the scans for this gmae:
