Good news! I’ve been waiting for this title, for what feels like years!
ATLUS, PQube and Zen United today announced that Persona®4 Arena™ will be making its way to Europe on Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Sony PlayStation®3 on 10th of May 2013.
The P3RE.JP has seen an update to its domain today, suggesting that the rumored Persona 3 Remake could be announced in the near future.
I preferred Golden and unfortunately haven't beaten 3 as it's pretty hard to go back to it. I do know some points of the story etc though and have always heard most people liked the story in 3 better.
This remake will be perfect for me if true. And hopefully combines FES and portable's content.
Prefer the story, characters and soundtrack in P3. Wait for the remake to play it as the PS2 originals don't let you control your party members and P3portable(the one that was remastered) is a substantial downgrade visually.
Atlus is finally delivering on what many fans have been asking for by bringing past Persona games to new platforms, including Persona 5 Royal.
As it turns out, fans can thank SEGA for the Switch port. Atlus producer Shinji Yamamoto revealed in an interview of Famitsu that SEGA led the way on the project.
It's hard to imagine a time before Persona spin-offs, but Persona 4 Arena marked the turning point from a humble RPG series to something greater.
Congrats, EU players. :D It's awesome that you guys finally get to play this game. I still need to get this.. just really hard to find a Region 3 copy of the game from where I live. :/
Finally...
Would have been nice to get a cool collectors edition or something as a way of thanking fans for their patience (or lack of in a lot of cases). They've had eight months of pretty much nothing to do supposedly so no excuses really.
Still, at this point, just knowing the game is coming out feels special.
fuck you Atlus.
fuck you.
