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

Junpei kinda looks like a grown up Ash Ketchum now.

Apparently it is Arcade only
WHUUUU!?

Uhh yeah, it's arcade only.
They're not gonna announce a console port before the game hits.

Exactly. They need to make money out of the arcades before announcing anything for consoles.

And if we tie in the
P3MC
discussion... the moon/sun stuff has something to do with The Fall... probably.

The way Elizabeth's story ended, it's easy to see it all coming together.
Don't hate on Kugimiya.

Word, Kugimiya all day, everyday.
A shame to hear her countdown to the concert start at Persona Music FES, which opened with True Story only to not have her sing it.

I really hope ArcSys and Atlus find a way to keep this going even after the movies.
3 ArcSys fighters going forward would be great.

Persona 4 Arena came out in April of last year.
Assuming this comes out on October/November, it'll have been 1.5 years.

I'm still pissed off that I finally got the game just to see the sequel is coming out later this year

Not enough salt in the world that could sum up my anger

Speaking Elizabeth's story, one little detail I'm curious about is
if in the select screen they changed Liz's arcana to The Fool.

From character select screen pics, it seems that they might have omitted that detail, which would be a bummer since it was a neat little touch.
It'd have to be The Fool if they were there, though.
 
Yes, I'm just wondering if they'll remember to put that little detail in this game :p

Woah, Liz's new move at 0:20 looks awesome. It's a status inflicting counter?

They didn't omit those neat little details, you can see them in the single player select screen.
 
Maybe I'm some kind of blinded fanboy, but I don't know how arcsys manages to release updates to their games and not upset me in the process. This is some of the best news I've heard in a while. Definitely excited for Takeba and Junpei, though part of me is hoping they add some others...Ken and Koromaru will do, if I can't get the P3MC (still not used to the new name for him so I refuse to use it)

Also, someone on tumblr translated what they could of the character bios, don't know if this was already posted:

Junpei:
the first part of the bio says something like “Besides spending all of his time at a part time job, this year he’s working as a baseball coach! Although his simple, happy go lucky personality hasn’t changed his <something> power causes major <something>”

Yukari
the bio says something like: “Formerly a member of sees, a beautiful comrade. Within her daily life as an active college model, taking advantage of her looks and high physical ability she’s working as a tokusatsu hero actress. [Aim] the trajectory of her bow and arrow freely! With her arrows of justice she will hit you dead on!”

The juggle window on Liz's Magarudyne looks insane.

EDIT: Looks like that's how SB Magarudyne in awakening works. I also wonder if the double Bufudyne is a result of awakening. Definitely encourages using Mind Charge as early as possible.

EDIT 2: Also looks like the Investigation Team meeting area at Junes is a stage now.

Liz's Garudyne looked like it got progressively bigger? Could it be mashable? Also Junpei is looking more and more awesome.
Elizabeth's Garu combo looks loads easier to do now, I remember hearing it was tricky to do consistently.
Yeah, this is not the same Garudyne as before: this is Garudyne in awakening mode.
It seems like they basically shut down her most damaging options / bnb in favour of those awakening combos. More than ever, she will have to be played around Mind Charge x Heal / take risks. I quite like it.

And yes, "haha" to this "only for arcades" comment.

I updated the title for clarity. It is accurate, yes? Sorry I missed several hundred posts from yesterday.
Accurate, yes, but there will be a console version.
It's just like GGXrd: they only speak of the arcade version for the moment.
 
Well, the arcade-only update is a "so far" thing and definitely not staying like that, and the actual title is "Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena Climax" I think which will most likely just be Persona 4 Arena Climax outside Japan.

Yes, right now it's arcade only, but it's gonna get people to assume that it'll never hit consoles, when there's really no basis for that.
They didn't announce the console release of Persona 4 Arena until after the game hit arcades.

She has her regular garu loops in awakening mode too

You should probably add a "For now" after the Arcade-only thing so people won't just look at the title and rage in the thread.
