Akihiko is already grossly overpowered. He needs a nice big smack with the nerf bat.
Junpei on the other hand needs to be SSS+ tier.

Persona 4 Arena Sequel Announced [Japanese arcade-only update for now]

Sure. But first I want Akihiko to actually be viable against the cast. Which he isn't with that Persona attack. I can see where they were going with him but when he's fighting 9/10 Persona users (the 1 being a mirror) what is the point of a magnet pull? If they changed that to where Akihiko gained Magnet from a super or a special and made him half-Tager while giving him a better Persona strong attack, I'd be in business.
No, I mean Minato. I don't mean underboob squirrel girls.
Atlus should've had official names day one if they wanted me to adopt them.

Not really, Arc System Works still has more say, nothing was too off when Atlus got dissolved to Index, besides the outlook is pretty good as the interest from other holdings is pretty legit.
I recall she got her own light novel or something where she was older & more....grown up, which resulted in her growing her hair out. Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.
I'm actually surprised they removed it altogether. I guess thats why he has the command grab now.

I doubt this because of how Hakumen's cancels work. His swordplay isn't slow, really. I'm expecting Junpei to have some moves with a lot of block stun, though.
They most likely replaced it with his new moves.

If I'm reading it right, his only actual Raging Lion is A now with B being a feint.

Well, compared to Jin anyway. Junpei was always a slow, heavy hitter.
Is this being a sequel confirmed?

Aw shit. The Ace Defective is back!
Sorry Naoto, this investigation has a new star.

I don't know how ArcSys has more say when Atlus owns the IP and was the publisher for P4A vanilla in America. Atlus USA might not even exist after Index is sold and the new owners might not want to see a western localization for this.

Shinjiro's cool, but he's nowhere near as deep a character as Junpei. Junpei's arc stemmed from his inferiority complex and abusive family both literally and metaphorically beating him down at every chance, which made him feel the need to act bigger than he was to mask his insecurities. By the end of the game he's developed into a more mature person who does well at school (check the scores on the last test) and supports his friends without feeling the need to be the centre of attention. I go into more detail on it here if you're interested.
If they include story mode from P4U1, then yes. Otherwise you're missing a "chapter" of the story like BB:CS1/2 did going from CT before CS:EXtend happened.
He is though. In my sessions with you it's pretty clear that you dimply don't understand how to play the character. What you're asking for is that he pretty much play completely different than he does in P4A(A rushdown character based on reading the opponent)

They would be pretty crazy to weaken the Persona brand by denying a new game in the series a global release. I wouldn't worry.
yessir
They'll want to see a localization because the bulk of sales of the game was in the US. They'll probably be stupid about it and delay it so long that folks will be on the PS4, especially in Europe, but they'll do it.

Yay can't wait to hear how much Euro's release date will get screwed over...
I'd like to think they've learned their lesson on region locking.

Notice I didn't include mythical realms!
LOL. Thanks for understanding.
Now lets really be honest: No it's not.
Milking something is putting out products made with little effort repeatedly just because the name commands attention and generates money.
Atlus isn't doing that. Everything you just cited is generally considered to be pretty good (if not great), with maybe the exception of P4's anime.
Akihiko's good, and he doesn't need to rely on his Persona. Magnet pull is for some corner safe jump mixups after oki if you don't want to spend meter.
j.C is slow but it's actually pretty good. The attack has body property instead of head, iirc, so it's more difficult to anti air with normals
He's definitely viable against the cast. Good damage and fast normals.
Sure, but playing him as a rushdown based on reading the opponent when the rest of the cast can derp-mode with their Personas is pointless. That's my point: When he's playing 9/10 Persona users that can basically lock down without having to "read," why make a read character? Might as well change them to be like the rest of the cast.

There's a decent possibility that Index will be bought by a company that doesn't care about their video game IPs.

You would think they wouldn't have been so stupid in the first place. Yet here we are, not sure of what will happen and still not playing GG on PAL PSN.

Atlus is their most profitable branch. Again. They'd be crazy.
That makes more sense. I'm fine with nerfing his divekick with a command grab as a trade off, he'll still have a good mix up game. Now they need to make DPs air blockable and I'll be good.
I doubt they can spend like that. It'll be either or. Probably a choice between PS3 and 4. Not counting on 360 bring in the picture after CP, but I guess it could happen if Atlus wants it and will pay.

It was great.
Ok, maybe not for the reasons they intended.
EA or Activision would do their best.

ASW finally gets to do what Sega or Capcom wouldn't allow and what they never did for BattleFantasia.
The Goof is Loose.
It was great.
Ok, maybe not for the reasons they intended.
Brother, I don't disagree.
I'm still waiting on Aigis news. I want to decide if I'm going to continue to main her or switch to Yukari. :S
Persona 4 Arena was like the biggest arcade game last year.
Of course Atlus wants more.
Sega lol
... I'm scared.
But dang, Junpei and Yukari? I would have taken Koromaru over both of them.

It's the most profitable branch because it's well-ran. If a company that isn't really in the gaming industry and isn't interested in being in the gaming industry buys Index, they could see Index's non-gaming assets as more valuable if they're handled the right way. It's not that black and white.
What, stupei before Ken Amada, ugh
Everyone hates Ken. Everyone!
