Fans of the Persona 4 franchise will finally get a chance to duke it out in Persona 4 Arena which released today in North America on Playstation 3 & Xbox 360. Tonight we have a special stream for the title and we hope you join us.
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.
Persona 4 has been an incredibly popular series for Atlus over the years. After its initial release on the PlayStation 2 in 2008, it has received a remake, multiple sequels, and various adaptations. Out of all of the ways that fans imagined their favorite characters interacting on screen, seeing them beat the life bars out of each other probably wasn’t what they had in mind. Today, we’ll be taking a closer look at one of the most interesting genre crossovers of the early 2010s, Persona 4 Arena.
Atlus’ Persona series has exploded in popularity. This means there are not only mainline installments, but also ports, updated releases, reimaginings and spin-offs. There are all interesting games that do cool things with elements from the series, but it is also a series where you probably shouldn’t go and begin with the very first game. Fortunately, it isn’t difficult to find a good starting point.
Frome what I remember, the PSP version of Persona 3 added the ability to command your teammates in battle? There was something different/better about battle for the PSP one. I remember noticing because I played 4, started 3 on PSP, then started over when i got the ps2 version.
I would def recommend playing either 3 or 4 before 5. the menus and the colors and fonts and everything in 5 was just SO MUCH to get used to. I felt like it was a comic book and an episode of JoJo at once. Amazing game, though lol
On the fence about this, might check out the stream.
Considering this game, may as well take a look at the stream and see what I think.
I am not big on fighters, personally. That said, I really want to see this game sell well.
It might bring more people over to the Persona series proper, and it will help support a publisher I have a lot of respect for.
