The full comments were like... These I think (Ear-work here, mistakes be damned!):

MC/Yu/Souji:
「可愛い菜々子は誰にも渡さん！鋼のシスコン番長！！」

... ﾌﾟｯ(※థэథ)∵.*.∵ /globbers off in the background now

Yousuke:
「寂れた田舎を踏み台に 大英雄に、俺はなる！キャプテン・リサンチマン！！」

(Laith has put the meaning before me, but just for easier check and google-worth, here is the full comment~ Sadistic comment is sadistic tho... )

Chie:
「女を捨てた肉食獣！男勝りの足技系ドラゴン！！」

(I will let some others translate these, since I am not 'poetic' enough to make the meaning less... Awesum. )

I will be shot for explaining the joke... But whatever!

It's basically what you think of, but the siscon roots come from the fan getting their heartstrings shot by Nanako pureness. The fact that 7/10 people would save Nanako in Day 1 of her erm, you know what, makes people just-inject-siscon-to-MC-personality.

Yes, I am one of those shameless 70% people. And my MC is a pimp badass cook banchou with Yousuke and Naoto as his waifus, who will destroy anyone making a pass to Nana-chan. Shaddup.

Yeah, I like that idea, too. It sure would be cool to see if Igor can kick some ass (that nose of his looks like a particularly lethal weapon, after all ). And both Elizabeth and Margaret WERE both secret bosses in their respective games.....

Though I didn't like Trinity Soul plot, the personae designs were superb.
And I like the cast too.

Add Shin Kanzato to the roster and my life will be complete.

EDIT : But story-wise, it wouldn't fit cause Trinity Soul takes place 10 years after P3...

About ten minutes of P4U footages from TGS 2011:

As well as system info I found translated on another forum, Select Button.

Spoiler for System Info:

Original Post

Game system guide & move list: http://p-atlus.jp/kouhou/TGS_p4u.jpg http://p-atlus.jp/kouhou/TGS_p4u_2.jpg

Rough translations from a buddy on IRC:

Four buttons, layed out in a square:
AC
BD

A - Weak attack
B - Strong attack
C - Persona attack
D - Persona Rush

Lifebar, you get the idea.
SP gauge, used for EX attacks and supers.
The gauge below your lifebar is the Persona gauge. If you drain it, you enter PERSONA BREAK and you can't use your Persona or burst.

S ATTACK: Mash the A button for easy combos! Can be super-cancelled
BURST: ACD. Gold bursts are available. Something called "One More Burst," "the moment you hit, you can really beat the fuck out of your foe"
R Action: B+D. An invincible move. Drains from the HP gauge briefly; will recover over a short time.
Beatdown Rush: AB, then mash A or B after hit, then hit C or D. AB attack is an overhead. C is a launcher (hold up to chase), D knocks opponent away.
Awakening: Activates at low life. Increases defense, Awakening moves become available (SDMs?) SP gauge max goes up to 150SP, and you gain 50SP for free.

Persona Break: When your Persona's out, damage to it or you decreases the Persona gauge. (Jojo's?)

Other misc functions:
P Combo: Gatling strings (A->B->C).
Sweep: Down + A + B
Quick Escape: A + C. "Moves to dodge attack."
Mini-jump: Down + A + C (hop?)
Air Turn: A + C in midair. You turn. IN THE AIR.
Throw: C + D. Unblockable (duh) and can be done in the air. Break with C+D.
Ukemi: Push a button while falling/hitting the ground.
Guard Cancel Attack: Forward + A + B while guarding. Costs 50SP. Has some invincible frames.
One More! Cancel: A+B+C. 50SP. Roman cancel.
Super Cancel: "Buffer certain supers during a special move: cancel into super, costs HP"

KANJI.



But yeah, the game's definitely reminding me of Capcom's Jojo fighters, which is a very good thing in my book. I'm still waiting for news of the rest of the roster, though.....

[Shiroth]

Oh wow, those backgrounds are stunning. Just imagined some of the stages this game would have. <3

Kanji and his fabulous red chair.

[Kyero Fox]

gee, yukiko is a range panzy.. coulda guessed that XP

[SilverSyko]

Few more videos of the loketest with Yu vs Yukiko and Yu vs Chie:

Spoiler for Videos:

Looks like Aigis isn't playable at the moment. Tis a shame.

And am I the only one who finds Chie's Japanese voice incredibly annoying?

maybe it's because you played the English dub of P4 that you aren't used to a high pitched voiced Chie

IMO, Yui Horie did a pretty well job and her voice suits Chie's character which is full of energy while having a cute side despite everything

It is impossible to dislike Yui Horie.

That's part of the reason most likely, but her Japanese voice has this kind of chipmunk-like tone which gets very annoying very quickly.

And personally I beg to differ, I think her English one suits her character a lot better, even if it wasn't the best of performances. The cutesy chipmunk-like voice does NOT work with a tomboyish action girl.

It is impossible to dislike Yui Horie.

I've heard her in other character roles that suited her acting better. I really don't think using her for Chie was the best choice.


Anywho that being said, according to the producer of Arc System Works Toshimichi Mori, the character selection that Atlus gave them was surprising. He's also hinting at some entirely new characters for this game:

I'm seriously all for this happening. It's super fun and all playing as P3 and P4 characters in a beat 'em up game, though new material would be icing on the cake. Will be interesting to see just how many new characters we might be seeing.

New characters = new personae = win !
It would be really nice !

[marvelB]

Well, if it's true that new characters are appearing, maybe they'll act as a "preview" of sorts of the Persona 5 cast (kinda like how Vincent made a cameo in P3 PSP before Catherine was announced, but with more active roles, obviously).


Actually, speaking of Vincent, it would be cool if he were included in this game's roster, as well......

I think I myself have heard a fair share of toyboyish girl with that kind of voice, so it works for me. The dub is meh, imo.

New character could be character from their other games, though.
Still waiting for Rise.

With Catherine as is persona ?

[Malkuth]

Dislike Hot-chan ?!?!?!?

OMG!

Anyway, leaving tasteless and tasteful posters aside Chie reminded me of Jam from GG, while Yukiko of the guitar girl, as well as Ciel from MB...

... and I see me getting more blisters in the near future

Of course Vincent's main attire would be his boxer shorts.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few P1 and P2 characters in the roster, though they seem more like DLC material.

Another game-play video featuring some alternate colors:

Looks like folks are already starting to learn to play the characters efficiently.~

Also, I like how Yosuke struts when he walks.
