How so? I haven't been following their recent developments.

I feel bad for the Euro folk, but don't fool yourselves: P4A I an amazing game. If you aren't gonna buy it because you've been treated like 2nd class customers I totally respect that, hell I would've done the same. But don't come here telling lies and saying it's only a 60 dollar VA. The game has so much content it has kept me busy since release; on top of that the net play is godlike.I know. Just better to put them on your ignore list because it's pretty annoying and sad. I do feel bad for Europeans though, this situation was handled horribly.
Glad that the games did well in Japan. I don't think Persona 4 Arena's numbers in North America are so bad considering the oversaturation of the fighting genre and Atlus's warehouses did empty out, so they are probably happy with its sales.
Mainline SMT games are unimportant at this point and exist for dedicated fans only. Mainline SMT isn't big enough to justify multi million dollar HD console entry. Persona has replaced SMT as its main series.I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't on PS3 exclusively. I mean, look at SMT 4. It's the freaking mainline series and its on a handheld.
The bright and happy atmosphere ruined the game for me. The final villain is the lamest in the series and was a fucking joke. Other than that the game was pretty awesome.Almost everything about Persona 4 is wonderful.
Haters can get bent.

As someone not deep in the fgc this game was a 60$ visual novel. Just because you appreciated the fighting system doesn't mean everyone does especially those that are only interested due to the franchise.
Yeah. If the game wasn't a Persona Spin-off and instead a new IP it wouldn't even have a quarter of its current sales.

Persona 4 did well on PSVita? Surely next Persona will be on 3DS
No more fighters. Persona 5 next.

P4 has it's flaws, but they're pretty minimal and nit-picky (and one of the ones I personally thought was a flaw was rectified by The Golden.)
I just wish we could get an ideal version of Persona 3. Both versions (FES and Portable) have some considerable drawbacks.
And this is why Persona 2 EP is not coming out here. Thanks, Japan.
Well, I should also thank the US for not buying Innocent Sin.
I'm thinking mainly how ever since they was bought out by Index, they've been really paranoid about reverse importing (see Persona 4 Arena, Persona 4 Animation blu-rays lacking the Japanese version) which is precisely how you piss off your foreign fan base, in addition to having only one game they developed in house released on home consoles (Catherine).
Hey maybe this means Vita might get done original SMT content? Or Nocturne and Raidou port?
Great. Now go and release Persona 5 for a STATIONARY console. If P5 comes out for the 3DS or Vita (lol) I'm gonna throw a fit.

Maybe the reverse is true? .
Yeah, get arc system works off P4U so they can work on Persona 5!
They have to be the most incompetent video game company ever.
Disgusting and shameful.
Persona, and really just Atlus in general, is the golden child of JRPGs/Niche-titles this generation. Effectively replacing Square.

This means I can sell my Persona 4 Arena copy with confidence (and use that credit for P4Golden as it will be the first time I play a Persona RPG) then await Persona 4 Arena X2 Plus Reloaded. I don't play that game anymore because all of my friends got tired of it (all we play on our get-togethers is Ultimate MVC3).
Maybe the reverse is true? A new fighting game that attracted a new audience to the series? I read about Persona this and Persona that all the time on this very forum but it never grabbed my attention, until I purchased Persona 4 Arena because I wanted a new fighting game and it was co-developed by Arc System Works, a reputable fighting game developer.
Persona 4 Arena turned me into a Persona fan. It made me watch the P4 anime, now I want to get my hands on P4G.
Was persona 4 golden offered digitally as well?

So many bitter posts in this thread from the guy who hasn't even played Arena but can't stop telling everyone about how much it sucks.

Hey, how yas doin'? My name is Labrys and I'm gonna be an idol.
I loved the slapstick and character dialogue in P4. For me, it was the perfect yin/yang to the darkness that was lying below.

I agree. But the game was way to bright and happy. I think it definitely has the worse story in the entire series. The bright and happiness is the reason why the story was so weak.I feel bad for you. Darkness doesn't equal depth. A little variety never hurt anyone.
they went waaayyyy to fucking far. It crippled the game and made me hate the characters despite them actually being good. I'm not saying they have to go back to persona2 but they could have at least kept persona 3s tone. It had the perfect balance.I agree only because I was kinda disappointed after P1-P3 the tone change was a bit much.
What the hell was dark about persona 4. Besides you know who dying? If you know who would have stayed dead that might have redeemed the game for me. But unfortunately she came back soooooo nope. I also think the slapstick dialogue was lame.I loved the slapstick and character dialogue in P4. For me, it was the perfect yin/yang to the darkness that was lying below.

Every single vita game released has/will have a digital version. You never have to ask

Reading this thread, I'm jealous at the people who already got to play this game! I hope it's gonna release in Europe soon. There still no date I guess?
God, if Persona 5 isn't a console game with Catherine level art and graphics, I will flip out. I'm already settling for SMT4 with 2d cutout battles. I can't handle P5 in anything less than Catherine glory.
High five!
I'm glad some people have sense. Soejima is an incredible artist, and you really need a proper console to do his art justice. There is absolutely a discrepancy between this:
and this:
I always thought the Catherine engine was going to be used for upcoming Persona game etc. So I'm pretty sure Persona 5 on consoles.
Just imagining the Persona story with the same style of cutscenes as Catherine is good enough to make me drool, let's hope for the best.
Hashino said they developed a whole new engine for it because the Catherine one couldn't handle their vision for P5. Or something to that nature.
I'm expecting great, great things.
what. how can you even make that argument when a rerelease of persona 4 on freaking vita outsold it
