Will never happen but it would be neat to see a character from another game in the SMT franchise; even if it's nothing more than a non-canon deal. The Raidou Kuzunoha lineage has been involved in the Persona series before (Persona 2 and Innocent Sin), and his demon summoning would make a for a near move set.

Adachi is a DLC character in the new P4 Arena.

Get hyped.

Expected but I can't really say that's a bad thing. Hopefully he's not too expensive.

First-Run and Limited edition Persona Q are up for Preorder in the US.

$50 for the normal.
$80 for LE.


Hoo boy. This is becoming a frighteningly common trend with Atlus.

Here's what the first run comes with.



Regarding the Tarot cards, the rest of them apparently come with Arena 2 First-run copies.

I kind of like Marie myself, though her poems are quite dull.

Oh boy, Atlus's Lightning! Exciting!

Pretty sure there isn't anything to her but her dumb poems.

I feel she's an interesting character myself, I like her role in the story, social link and plotwise, her design looks awesome, and she actually says Fsteak which is not only a Hiimdaisy reference but also some clever localization on her original line in Japanese.  Not to mention I find her cute when she gets embarrassed despite not really liking her poetry. 

Honestly Minako is much more of a Mary Sue than she is, though that's just me not really liking Persona 3 that much in general and the Female route social links feel like absolutely trashy teenage fan girl fan fiction. I mean I get the protags are in general Mary Sues, Yu is certainly another case though in a more positive way, but Minako is just more taste like diabetes Mary Sue and Too Good for this Sinful Earth.  For [tornado fang]'s sake, she manages to undo Shinji's death if you make the right choices, has social links with all party members unlike Minato who only has them with the females, her music is just peppy bubble gum trash, and don't get me started on Ken's route.

Marie's actually in my top 3 female characters in Persona 4 behind Chie and Naoto who kind of tie with each other and in my top 5/6 overall along with Aigis, Eriko, and Lisa Silverman. But that's just my opinion.

Uhh... moving on.

I really don't like the boxart here.

First run of Arena 2 includes the first half of the Tarot card set, no Special Edition here. You also get some Inflatable Teddie thing and Adachi's DLC, which will be free for the first week the game is out.
Kanji, Margaret, and Naoto are all getting recast. Kanji's being played by the guy who played him in the second half of the first Anime. The other two, no clue.

P3's second movie came out this month, focuses on the timespan where the last movie left off (Right after Full Moon #2 and Fuuka's rescue) to the Full Moon in October, for that reason it focuses mostly on Ken and Shinjiro's backstories, slightly changed from the game.
Next movie is apparently to be called "Falling Down", presumably there will be 2 more movies afterwards too.

Oh right, forgot to mention that Ultimax is Region-Free unlike its predecessor.

Probably to apologize to Europe as they got royally [tornado fang]'d over in that whole deal more than anybody else.

It's got to be Memetic Mutation referencing the karaoke bar scene aka Stupid Sexy Narukami.

The box art may not be final, as it seems to be updated with each new character announced. Notice how Adachi is sunck in on the felt? Marie is not on that picture, but there is one floating around that does have her and Margaret, likely meaning she'll be playable too.

Naoto's VA was different in the anime as well. Dunno about Margaret though.


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

Is it bad that I actually prefer Persona 3 to 4?

Not really, the fan base is really split between the 2 games.  I just vastly prefer 4 for various reasons.

Not at all.
I prefer the gameplay of 3 to 4, by that I mean I prefer the game telling me when I have to fight bosses and having Tartarus not consume my Social Link time.

I prefer 4's music and characters though. Just not the dungeons or bosses.

Its not bad but if you had real taste you'd prefer Persona 2 over both of them.

2 is probably my second favorite, but I can't play it since I still haven't replaced my PSP/got a Vita.  It sucks because my brother got me Persona 2 Innocent Sin for Christmas.
