Ken Amada and Koromaru confirmed as playable in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

why does everyone hate Ken? I mean, he isn't great, but he's better than fuuka at least.

Was it cause of the whole getting a way better character killed thing?
 
Atlus, you dicks. Just when I finally think I'm ready to put up some mental resistance to Persona content you have to keep adding so many little things to this game to where I'm going to feel like a bastard if I don't buy it.

I am honest-to-god curious as to how they're going to "officially" finish this P3+P4 canon thing, I suppose. Hundreds of hours of emotional investment had better mean SOMETHING!
It won't mean anything and I'll be depressed for months.

Okay, what's up with the hates for Ken? I haven't play Persona 3 yet but geez, there are high level of salts here.

What have Ken done to y'all?
 
I dunno why people find them being 1 character disappointing. It's obvious Ken is only there to function as Koromaru's hitbox. In other words, we get to play as Koromaru AND watch Ken get beat up. It's a win-win!
P3 spoilers
He gets a very likable character killed.

That said, I'll give him a fair shot.
Also, the voice acting wasn't great.

Yeah, Koromaru!

Edit: Why do people hate Ken? I played P3P, and I don't hate Ken. I hated Junpei, but that changed by the end of the game.
 
Naw man, fuck him....

Shinjiro :'(
Shinjiro would have died anyway, he was both taking drugs that were killing him and was essentially looking for a way to die. And Shinjiro was pretty lame, all things considered. Barely more than a plot-device, hardly a character. Not that I'm defending Ken for being a good character though.

Pretty much. P3P significantly improves his character by giving him a S.Link, but I felt like he was barely in the original game, especially if you don't use him in party.

Yeah, the only reason I like Shinji is because he's a delinquent and I love that character archetype.

Yeah, I played P3P first, and I did both sides at once, and without those new SLinks all the guys are kinda meh.

ANYWHO

at least Ken isn't as bad as Hope.

Mah boy Ken, and Koro, too! I bet he'll have good range. At least he should, being a spear wielder. Wonder how they'll fight together, and how their Personas will work.
 
Hopefully, Atlus gives a video soon, I would like to see the older Ken and Koro in action.

I think there's a new Persona Stalker Club episode on the 30th, we might get something then?

I didn't really get attached to him. I think I had already cleared the available Tartarus bosses when he joins your party, so
I didn't get to try him out in battle much before he got killed.

Scans are out. Ken looks awesome. Koromaru's wearing Ken's orange hoodie from P3.

Ken seems to have two Persona cards. Both Kala-Nemi and Cerberus are represented in battle, while Ken fights alongside Koromaru.

Also, Theodore from Persona 3 Portable appears in the story.

Meh, I have nothing but love for Ken and the entire cast of P3 minus Fuuka. Only thing id like to see now is Femc.

Really? I didn't like that guy much, and honestly, he really it was just chance. They happened to run into the wrong guy and he got shot. Ken had no way of predicting that would happen.

Sorry, my bad. Gonna delete it

Yeah, next time, just say "scans are out" and let people find it themselves.

But since its Famitsu, give it a day or two, they usually put actual screens/pics on their own website, and I believe we have no TOS against using those.
 
People hating on Ken but loving Koromaru? They were both terrible characters...

Ken introduction in P3 made me smack my head... but I almost didn't keep playing 3 because of how dumb of a concept Koromaru was. Luckily I could just not use either and hammer the X button to pass any conversations that had to do with either.
