Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the sequel to the surprise hit Persona 4 Arena, and (allegedly) the conclusion to the Persona 3/Persona 4 saga, has been confirmed to be hitting on September 30 by Atlus. Like the first game, Ultimax will be available on both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Now for the love of all that is good, just show us some Persona 5 footage already...

Is this series any good? I'm not that much into fighting games, but since I like the series (and know some of the characters) is it worth getting?

--

Also, yeah we need some P5 footage already! Probably at TGS no? Also when is the game coming out in Japan? This year still?

Never played it, but @darkspineslayer swears by it, he'll be able to sell you on it better than I can :p

Persona 5 is not going to be at TGS. I have a funny feeling it's been delayed.

Disappointed there is no ps4 version, but I will be getting it on ps3. I absolutely hate the story mode, but arcade was decent, the combat is excellent, and the online was solid. Hopefully they make online sorta like SC5. I like the new mode they are putting in.

Persona 5 will be the final last gen game I will be paying full price for. That said I am super excited for this.

Wow, Atlus can't stop milking that series. Glad I never got into any of the Persona games.

@PhazonBlazer: So you're glad you never bought really good games? That's a dumb thing to say

Ultimax is my GOTY at the moment. This, Hyrule Warriors, and Bayonetta 2 are all I really care about this fall.

Margaret recently got announced which is awesome

@Capitan_Kid: Amen to that, and yeah, this fall seems really dull in games for me, I think I'm just going to get those and Guilty Gear Xrd for consoles and call it a day/

@charizard1605: I don't think it's been delayed, both Persona 3 and Persona 4 started getting their first bits of info three months before release. They also said Winter 2014, meaning we have between December and March (hopefully the former). I wouldn't worry, Atlus is a one game at a time company, once Ultimax releases at the end of the month they're probably going to get ready with 5 (even though Dancing All Night got announced and even had gameplay yet we still haven't heard anything about that either).

@Capitan_Kid

Before we call him dumb... What makes Persona good again ?

Its good that is your GOTY but it isn't "The" GOTY for a reason.

All that salt, can that all be from Ubisoft abandoning you? seems like no asscreed under the tree for little Phazon this year.

The story mode plays more like a visual novel than anything, and it's easy enough to mash through if you're just there for the story. The actual fighting is surprisingly easy to get into, and almost smashbrosian in how it handles.

The move sets for all the characters still wouldn't add up to a tekken fighter, and if you can throw a Hadouken, you can pull off anything in P4A. The trick comes in learning to chain those moves into combos, using the character and persona.

@darkspineslayer:

So, it's noob friendly one, huh? :P Guess I'll give it a shot! Plus the story, given that I like Persona, might just be enough to pull me into the actual gameplay.

Keep in mind that these games are cannon. so if the original game's story doesn't come to the west as Ultimax DLC, you'll need to at least read up on that one.

I mean, hey, after this, we're still getting Persona Q and Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Ultimax is just supposed to be the last game chronologically speaking.

Well, the entirety of the story of the first Arena game is included within this, so yeah, you'll be well covered with Ultimax lol.

Really? Yesterday it was Dissidia 012 (downloading now) and today this. If sequels could always eat up the first game if I've skipped it...

I believe so, yes. It will be released as DLC from what I gather, but that's the extent of what I know anyway.

I think the best way to make sure you don't miss out on any story events is to ust Youtube the story mode from the first game lol.

I suck at fighting games, but I might just get it to support the Persona franchise and Atlus. I'll just play it on easy for story mode and get my ass kicked every second in online play. At least I'll get to fight as my main cyber crush, Chie. She can galactic punt me any day...
