Would Tamaki Uchida count as out of universe?

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
What I find more amusing is that Rise's not the typical "URUSAI~" type role Rie plays either.
He doesn't need one. His persona attacks would be him calling everyone of us shit-heels and lowering morale/SP gain. His normals do 150% more damage than the normals of other characters.
Completely broken.
Which saddens me, but at least I get to hear her commentary.

That'd be cool, but I really want Persona 2 characters.

Id say playing Persona 4 is a bit more important. Though others seem to say that Persona 3 the story is important too. It is, but its more character interaction / story talks a lot more of the P4 backstory. Then again as someone else said just might as well watch the P4 anime for hulu.

Man all these gameplay videos are making it harder to hold off until I get and/or beat P4. At this rate, I may pick this up.
Wonder who could make an appearance based on the events in EP... It would probably be between Maya, Ulala, Baofu and Katsuya, but they'd all be in their 30s by then.
On a side note, I still can't make out the lyrics to Reach Out To The Truth.
Rie is great when she's not being typecast, although <3 Taiga.
Get dat triple bro!

The Ps triple is your only option

Yeah its pretty good if you dont have time to go through the game and just want to see a condensed version of the story.
Guess I'll be forced to do that, there's no way I can finish an 80+ hour game before the game releases next week.

Play Asia updated their site to mention that the Asian version will work on a Japanese PS3...
Looks like I'll be scooping up the Asian version for myself.

Can't believe this game is almost here. I originally wanted to main Chie but I think I'll give Naoto and either Akihiko or Yosuke a try. I usually prefer to play fast characters.
Yup, I can confirm you this.
Okay, tried a few matches online, see how it would work from Europe with mostly japanese players, and it was quite the same as BB: huge slowdowns on the intro scenes, but once the match starts it's smooth as silk.
Lost a lot, I need some serious training. Lots of people mashing the auto-combo, including me. I'll probably work on Mitsuru and Elizabeth first.
Protip for Mitsuru, her 5B has different versions / command moves:
* 5B: the standard move, where she stays in place
* 4B: the same move but with an added backward hop
* 6B: the same move but with an added forward hop
This is VERY IMPORTANT, as it seems to dictate her pressing, and for several combos, depending on your spacing, you should be using either one of the three versions. Of course, the game never tells you that, and always refers the move as "Standing B" in the challenge move lists...

I want
to be a secret character someday LOL
vincent from catherine
Yeah, she's a really cool character but we already have a boxer. Maybe they could make her the Balrog to Akihiko's Dudley.
Wow, that sounds really useful for controlling space. I almost want to play Mitsuru now just for that.
Also, her universal sweep (2A+B) can be feinted by holding A+B: she then just steps forward without hitting the opponent. This is VERY useful to get in and score a surprise throw / overhead. By mixing up between the feint and the actual sweep, you can probably make it very hard for the opponent to react. Of course, you can use this feint in combos where you can combo a sweep...
She's gonna be the pressure queen.

yukiko has something like this as well where different direction (456) have different persona placements.
The only canon one: Seta Souji.
Who is this Yu Narukumi? Atlus: You should've gave an official name before release instead of retconning it in. Manga trumps you in date.
Fixed, although that's an old joke, so you should probably just name him Mike Ross or something.
Yeah I didn't really know about the application of it until certain challenges showed up haha.
(never did finish that particular one as I always miss the j.B); at least I think it was j.B

Well, she's definitely angrier than Akihiko and Chie. Plus she's a wind-type and can cause sleep. Does anybody use sleep in P4A? And she can Flamenco dance!
Better Charlie Tunoku than Seta Souji. ;D
Chie story - part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQUFAEwGHc&feature=plcp
don't know if this was posted yet, but more of Chie's story mode was uploaded.
I watched the entire anime of Persona 4 in japanese, so it shouldn't seem too weird to see Narukami talking, but it still is weird once he starts speaking in english in this game. Especially when it's just his character portrait. I'm used to him being the weird silent protagonist still, lol.

It looks creepy honestly
It's a little weird. It seems like a bit of an uncanny valley between static portraits and moving models.
Isn't she bottom tier in arcades?
I'm in that boat. The only fighting game I've ever played is a month or two of poorly skilled Skullgirls play (and all I know about fighting game theory is what I picked up from that game's tutorials). I'm still psyched for this game though.

Keep in mind that this isn't like BB CS with Tsubaki. Even lowest tier characters are still very viable.
The game is well balanced.
