Well lets start this off with this.

kewlmyc · Aug 26, 2014

It's Ikusuki.

No Nyarly or Minato either for those who care.

Dugna · Aug 26, 2014

Aww so Makoto confirmed to not be involved =/ ?

Anyhow looks like we got one of those weird full room bosses again like the end of BBCP

I know all this latest stuff has been P3/P4-focused, but it'd be nice for at least a little connection to P1/P2. Though I guess Nyar being the big bad would be more than a "little".

Honestly, after BBCP, another giant boss whose head is the only thing you can damage is kinda the last thing I wanted for a last boss again :|

And if it really is Ikutsuki then that's a disappointment x 2

To be honest BBCP isn't the first fighting game that featured a giant boss.

Melty Blood Actress Again had it too.

I know giant fighting game bosses are a common thing. They also happen to be a common thing I don't like in fighting games.

buddha0991 · Aug 26, 2014

I'd say take the Ikutsuki thing with a grain of salt and all we have are people who have ripped the cutscenes, thats it. Oh and one guy playing it but isnt saying much.

True dat... it adds nothing but frustration since a lot of them require you to stay airborne. Regular ground combos won't even work. Bonus if the boss knows extremely damaging push away supers that has a instant startup if you are too close

Usually, well atleast in the case of BBCP, you have to use some close range character like Ragna/Jin/Noel to finish it off making it even more annoying

BossRush · Aug 26, 2014

Man, I know Ikutsuki would make sense, cause like maybe shadow ikutsuki, or something. But I REALLY don't want it to be him. What a not fun villain.

Weiss · Aug 26, 2014

I have no words.

I mean, it was totally supposed to be Nyarlathotep, right? ME and Nyarly had the same voice actor and seiyuu, he appears as shadow forms of the protagonists, he can alter reality, he taunts them in very operatic ways, much like Nyarlathotep did, he masquerades as Sho's Persona (or am I wrong on that), he creates shadow doppelgangers of the heroes, just like he does in P2, and Shadow Aigis has a black butterfly in her opening animation, which is supposed to be tied to Nyarlathotep.

I earnestly think that it was originally going to be Nyarlathotep, but the P2 ports didn't sell well enough.

And, come on, Ikutsuki? The impetus for the heroes of Persona 3 and 4 teaming up is a mullet who makes puns? He wasn't even that significant a villain in P3 anyway.

Sho makes puns, Ikutsuki makes puns. It all makes sense!

I do hope it's not him though, that's kind of an underwhelming reveal.

I, for one, welcome the glorious return of pungeon master Ikutsuki.

"Don't care for seafood? They also serve GROUND beef!"

PK Gaming · Aug 26, 2014

Guys, think I found out who's inside General Teddie

This image has never been more relevant

*sigh*

EDIT: Any indication that these are True Story material?

ClumsySleuth · Aug 26, 2014

Based on these images I can almost confirm that PK's fanfic is canon

Makoto showing up inside Sho to have some last words maybe?

I don't think the Ikutsuki thing has been proven yet. I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

Is that Eva Unit-01?

Edit: Not sure if rips are against the rules.

Setsu00 · Aug 26, 2014

Sho beating up Adachi is glorious.

Edit: And so are Yukari's and Mitsuru's normal, non-combat outfits.

CrazyTank940 · Aug 26, 2014

Oooh a spoiler thread, I'll be sure to keep an eye on thi-

Please don't tell me we're gonna have another big boss fight like BBCP in here

Dugna · Aug 26, 2014

Now I'm seeing some pics of General Teddie holding Sho by his head while having a dark aura around himself.

Spectrasonic · Aug 26, 2014

P3 story mode ends with Aigis failing to beat that fire monster.

P4 story mode ends with Yu beating it.

Makoto's soul finally rests.

Sho turns good.

Rise's persona changes form after battling Elizabeth and Thanatos.

No hidden characters

That fire monster aka Eva Unit-01 is Kagutsuchi.

Sophia · Aug 26, 2014

I recommend taking any spoilers with a grain of salt, assuming they don't have obvious proof. Lots of blatantly fake spoilers being mixed up with potentially true but misreported spoilers. :\

I'm curious to see what role Kagutsuchi has in all of this.
