Vita version wouldn't surprise me at all, doesn't P4A use the same engine as Blazeblue(which have been coming to Vita lately).
Considering how PXZ received mixed reviews, I doubt it'll happen soon, let alone being localized.
I'm waiting for the inevitable Persona X Sonic.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they announce that with Ken.
I dunno. Parasoul? Fillia? The nurse? I wasn't good enough/played long enough to have a main, to be honest.
Project X Zone gets mixed reviews not because the crossover aspect isn't fun, and barely due to the plot's incredibly lame "go here fight this again and again" nature, but because the fights in that game are boring slogfests. The actual fighting system is nifty for an SRPG, but the maps are enormous, you're fighting like, 7 waves per map, and it takes fucking forever to reach anything. You spend great lengths of time moving your party's stubby little legs before fighting the Vajra for the 9th time with no meaning or purpose.
Project X Zone is a great idea, and parts of it are great, but goddamn it shouldn't take me several hours to clear a map just because I spend multiple turns doing nothing.
BBCP doesn't.

only in ranked matches or some shit like that.
Wonder what that's about. You might be right: They realized how much of a mess the story was in the previous game and this "P-GP" mode is a way to quickly summarize what actually happened before going into the two main P4U2 story branches.
Edit: Huh, and the additional scenario takes place at the end of the game. I'm thinking P4G epilogue type stuff.
Man, that art really is a lot rougher than Soejima's usual stuff.
I think he's probably really rushed right now. They're most likely in full on crunch for P5. Not to mention juggling Ultimax, PQ and P4D art. His PQ is probably all done, but I bet he has a fair amount of P4D illustrations to do yet.
Worth pointing out that one of their previous sites erroneously said PS Vita because they'd just copied and pasted the copyright info.

I plan on getting a Vita. This only influences my decision.
I guess I'll have to train you to become the best, like no one ever was!
I was gonna say, I'll take any tips you have!
Also, please keep making references to cheesy songs from the 90s.
I agree. It's a crossover game, so it's focused on fanservice. don't mind the plot because the gameplay is fun to me. The gameplay may be tedious to some people, but I'm ok with it because I played Namco X Capcom before (which has a slow map too).
Comparing anything to AA3 feels like cheating though.
P4U2 on Vita wouldn't surprise me. Gotta add that beach scenario in somewhere.

I also says this about the DLC scenario:
At the end of the game, huh? I wonder if it has something to do with P4DAN

On closer look, fighting form Himiko breaks a fundamental design rule of P4's Personas, as if it didn't have enough to eat away at my OCD.

Alright, I'll give you some semi-pro teachings! And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow for you, but if the offer's shunned, you might as well be walkin' on the sun.

What rule?
So, the P4U2 website has two "Coming Soon" slots for new characters. Rise and her shadow take up two slots (Yukari's and Junpei's shadows do not have their own slot), means a few possibilities.
The last two slots are for their shadows.
Ken will be announced and his shadow will take up a slot.
Ken will get a slot, his shadow won't (like the other P3 characters), and another mystery character is also to be announced.

No visible faces. This is a noted rule by Soejima in the design notes for the P4 Personas.
Or it could mean Sho and SHO. Or it could be a spot for Yu and Chie. Or it could be two totally unknown characters. It could mean anything.
Must be listening to that new Risette joint.
Scrafty, you are the best EVER. ^O^/
True. I'm generally just doubtful they'd have them there for characters already in the arcade release, mind you.
Ken and Adachi, I hope.

Ken and Mysterious Fox I hope
Well, it's not like that page isn't going to be eventually filled with every single playable character in the game, unless that particular tab is reserved for new characters.
Given how prominently doing the impossible features in stories like these, I don't see why they would need to be locked into these rules.
It could be explained in the story, but I think it's more likely that Flux was right earlier when he said they don't care for that kind of minutia wrt Arena. Thanks for the trivia though! I didn't know that.

Wasn't it "the skin of the person inside a Persona shall not be exposed" as noted by Soejima in the design for Naoto's persona?

im going to assume the two new boxes belong to ken and shadow ken. Would love if it was a new character however.

That's another of the rules. There were three main ones--something covering their faces, no visible skin, and needs to come across as reasonably human in some way (for example, half torsos like P3's Isis are a no-no). Teddie's skirt that last one but the justification was that he's not really human, so it didn't matter as much.
If we compare the P4U2 website with the PQ website, it might be simple to deduce what the remaining tabs will be since they follow a similar design. One would be "Movie", another would be "News" and then "Battle" and "Labyrinth" would have to be replaced by two others, so I'm guessing one involving gameplay and another involving story?
I liek the P4U2 website more than the PQ one. They have a very similar layout, but the P4U2 one looks bigger and bolder. Now there's just P4D and P5.

I want to believe.
I'm used to SRW games where I can cross the entire map in far fewer turns, I guess.
Fighting Form Himiko breaks all the rules. She gon do what she gon do.
I could not believe that of all the Social Links Yu intended to spend time with on his first day back in Inaba, the fox was one.

You know what, it just came to my head (an explode) that Rise's voice actress is the same as the voice I always use for the boss in SR3 and SRIV.
Holy shit! She has an amazing range of voice.
Well, the fact that it only has that and has two coming soon ones, it seems like at least until launch that is the idea.

Oh my, please make this true.
I don't need to buy a cheap PS3 for only a game then or ask my friend to borrow his, I already did that with the Vita and it's becoming too expensive having too many conosoles and the PC.
I bet that there will only be that character tab and, like Persona Q, they will gradually be introducing characters to it and regularly have individual character trailers.
But yeah, so far it's just the new characters, so it's reasonable to assume that the next characters introduced to the page will be new as well. It's just the matter of whether they're Junpei and Yukari's Shadows or not.
Not getting Persona 5?
I also heard that it wears out its welcome pretty early on, only to go on for a lot more chapters. That, plus the seemingly limited finesse to the combat didn't leave me too excited to pick it up, Eben if I do like a lot of the series represented.
Well the combat is okay to me because normally in an SRPG you just go "attack" watch the attack and that's that. So it's kinda fun to have to do inputs, however meaningless they are. The game gets painfully repetitive, though. About 10 hours or so in you've probably seen most of the mooks you'll be fighting for the rest of the game. I dunno. It wasn't a bad game, but I haven't finished it yet precisely because it's a slog.

About how long will it take to get max courage and knowledge? I'm at the beginning of September and have both at level 4 (just reached that level for knowledge at the end of summer break, courage I've probably been there for a while). Asking because I plan to max Naoto's S. Link but don't want to waste time raising stats when I could be hanging with Nanako/Dojima/Kanji/Rise.

Haha. Dont worry people me and flux aren't playing for money. We cant even connect to one another over psn for some strange reason, which is a shame. :/
Someone check on Kanji to make sure he's okay.
SPEAKING OF.
P4A
As Yu I chose to signal Kanji instead of Yosuke at the end of Yu's story mode. Kanji started to blush. Fucking hilarious.
