Why you should play Persona 4 Arena:

Because it’s been out in arcades for months now.

And it’s assumed that he’s talking about those that are on the fence about picking it up or not, not just telling everyone “Hey you, pick up this game, next Messiah…YEAH”.

You should all play Persona 4 Arena because it’ll make you grow chest hair. I think this is more then enough reason to buy/play this game. That and Johnny Young Bosch is a VA in this, making it auto good.

Recent article from Beastnote, a Daigo Umehara fan site.

Briefly highlights the supposed shift of Japanese FGC and possibility of booming into Persona 4 Arena due to waning AE2012 interest.

i have to wonder how much do he knows about the fighting game community
and his points on BB, KOF and 3d fighting games are hilariously wrong and dumb tbh

P4A main event at EVO2013? Sounds like everyone is jumping the SF4 ship

It’s just a fan site. I wouldn’t take it as something official. But he makes some okay points on P4U. The franchise is quite strong.

When I read “we still think that Ougon Musou Kyoku is better”, I laughed out loud. Nothing’s going to convince me that Beast Note isn’t trolling now.

well that its true, but that is something that everyone knows, the problem comes that he goes in what is basically a rant of games that he doesn’t like (and seems to lack any kind of descent knowledge about them) and mention their “problems” to later talk about the state of the fgc and the jfgc (which he seems to lack knowledge about them too)

that is another thing, he complains about the combos on BB, and the combos on OMK are equally long, if not longer :rofl:

Yeah, Elizabeth and Naoto combos can go on for-fucking-ever. You could even potentially add Yukiko to that list.

Still getting that debate on whether I should get fighting games for PS3 or 360. I’m getting a 360 pretty soon, but I’m just worried which system will give me more competition. I have a feeling its gonna be 360 for any fighting game no matter what though :stuck_out_tongue:

Pre ordering at select retailers also get you a nifty arranged soundtrack thats a physical copy. Music is another one of the lesser criteria i judge fighters and since its persona music thats another +

Anime fighter community is mostly on PS3.

And Persona RPGs are a Playstation title, so yeah.

i just sold my european ps3 to get this game, atlus always makes me do crazy decisions.

So I have a question.

I’m interested in this game.

However, I feel discouraged from immediately buying it because I have never played the P4 RPG (or any Persona RPGs for that matter).

Should I actually play the RPG first prior to this? I really have no attachment to the characters/world for that matter, I just think the dude girl with the gun is pretty cool and classy.

Heard the RPGs were top notch too. Need to get my PSP back first.

i feel that you would enjoy the story more if you played the rpg first, i recommend playing persona 4 only if you want to fully enjoy the story mode of the game, though if you just plan on playing and getting better at the game i doubt it is needed, and yeah the rpg’s were top notch, P3P is my favorite game of all time. I’d recommend it if you’re into rpg’s

You know what? Just watch the P4 anime if you’ve never played the RPG. It follows it quite closely on a linear path.

lol i wonder why i never thought of saying this, but yeah i agree if you wanna know the story the anime does a nice job of explaining the important parts minus the true end.

Kubo streaming P4U

yeah everything is fine, just selling a few of my games to raise money to buy a ps3 slim.

True end is coming out on bluray next month so perfect timing.
