Persona 4 Arena was first released in Japanese arcades back in March 2012, and it then went on to be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in July. Following that it was released in America in August 2012, and now, nearly a year later, P4A is finally hitting European shores tomorrow, May 10th.
Despite the long wait, the European version doesn't come with any extra content, but for fans of the series, the games release alone should provide plenty of enjoyment.
Check out the video below for some initial impressions:
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
Ridiculous how long it took them to localize this and then region locking it on PS3. Ill give it a pass.
Played this today, quite jokes.
Really looking forward to this!
Took way too long to come out. They didn't even translate it into other European languages from what I hear. So they sat on the already localised English language version for 9 months smh
