I still adore that .GIF. It never fails to make me smile.

My promise of a PGAF meetup should the movie ever get dubbed still stands, by the way. I'll give a couple of paperclips and a Subway coupon to anyone who's willing to chip in and help with the cost! >_>

Guys have you seen how grim dark and mature the new kirby game is.


This is some next level stuff right here. Look at the panic on that things face as Kirby mercilessly devours it. Persona 5 could definitely learn a thing or two from this.

The tube carrying the Bravely Default poster I got from GameStop rewards was thrown out.

And it's no longer on their site.

I hate myself right now.

When the crew is on those floors where the shadows are so weak they run away, Fuuka gets bored and decides to look at pictures of cake instead, hoping to one day bake that shit.

Excellent. Looks like that BestBuy release date was spot on huh?

Also yay for Golden Abyss mode.

Aren't the releases even closer together than the original release? I'm curious as to what this means for their efforts to avoid region-locking.

It's awesome that they're putting GA mode in the arcade version. We'll get a clear image of that really soon.

It means we're getting region locking
but Europe will actually get the game at around the same time.
Or at least, that's my guess! :p

Nah, the JPN release of P4A was approximately two weeks apart from the NA one, while P4AU seems to be just a bit more than that. P4A's release was actually supposed to be simultaneous across regions, however they actually pushed the Japanese release forward for some reason.

But I'm also mainly curious what this means for region locking. The game is coming out way later than I expected (I was really expecting late July/early August) and so it's going to be really close to the NA release, just like last time. What will they choose to do...?

I'll probably import it anyways if it's not region locked but, man, 2 weeks, huh. That's real close.

Edit: Also, this might establish a more accurate time frame in Japan for the next games. Persona Q is early June. P4U2 is late August. P4D is early October? P5 is late December?

You're September too? Sick. Gonna be a good month. My Dragon Age hype will be in overdrive then, too.

Right, so this is ostensibly a repeat. Damn. Yeah, I guess we'll see. I was thinking late-July, as well.

I think that's wishful thinking. I think if they could feasibly get an EU release running parallel with the states, they would've announced that when they confirmed everything for the US.

Or maybe not. Because that opens a big can of worms. They announce one, they immediately draw attention to the others.

Also, "Where's SMTIV?" It's not on Arlus, but that's not going to stop people.

No news about Ken from Famitsu? I hope he'll be revealed sometime this week.

Gematsu said:
A new “Golden Arena Mode” has also been added. A battle tournament incorporating RPG elements, players will be able to raise their levels, learn over 150 skills, customize their favorite characters, and build Social Links with the navigator character.

  • I'm guessing Golden Arena Mode will be side-scrolling, not like P3/P4 battle screen, but I never played ASW games before so idk.
  • 150 skills? Does that means we can use agi/bufu/phys attacks like in P3 and P4?
  • I wonder if the navigator character is Rise only or both Fuuka and Rise.
I know at this point I'm just asking questions that will be revealed later, but I can't believe I'm actually getting hyped over this game.

It is most likely like this mode!

We haven't gotten all the info from Famitsu. Remember it officially releases this Thursday.

Also no, think Abyss Mode (read: survival) from BlazBlue for what Golden Arena will be like.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Ken will be at least shown during the Persona Stalker Club episode. It's too obvious for it not to happen.

And Golden Arena Mode most likely will be more of an Abyss Mode analogue than anything else (which I'm glad they're actually doing). It probably won't be side-scrolling, but still traditional 1v1 matches, except with alternate rule sets. 150 skills might mean that different characters will be able to use different specials, maybe, or they might be modifiers to the moves they already have.

There's already a bunch of navigators in P4A vanilla.

Ken should be revealed on PSC.
 
Man, im really worried for us guys int he UK and Europe. I really hope they dont region lock this game. :(

Its bad enough that we wont be seeing PQ for a good while, if at all.

Thanks for the answers guys. I didn't think that the Golden Arena Mode (Abyss) mode would look like the regular 1 vs 1 battle; whenever I heard skills and RPG I just instantly think of action or turn-based gameplay.

There's already a bunch of navigators in P4A vanilla.

Ohh the P4A navigators. I was thinking of the navigator position in P3 and P4, not the navigator in the versus battle :p
