welp persona is here fellas time for me put all these other fightan games in the closet

I forget if you've said whether you've played the RPGs before, but if you had, do you think it's necessary to play any of the Persona RPGs for an understand of characters or story?
And if you've got the 360 version, is there netcode complications like peope are talking about?

yeah your gonna need to play 3 and 4 or your gonna be left in the dark about most of the stuff/characters in the game and for the moment all the matches on xbox feel like they are underwater

On the subject of online has anyone else here tried on PS3? Since so far for me its been kinda mixed-while fairly good overall- i've had some really bad connections with people in north America but also some real good connections with people in Japan, so has been kinda weird and overall hasn't been as consistently good as the Blazblue games so far for me at least .

Man I dont know why all the fuss about P4?! I dont see it as a great fighting game; it's another BB which guilty gear it much better to tell you the truth.

Honestly why all the hype?! someone explain please!

Mmmh! For me, it has nothing to do with BB or GG... I'm a big fan of the Persona games, I play all the PS1 games (P1,P2S & P2P.) I played the Japanese one that never came to America (P2S, It's now in the PSP)

Golden Axe: The Duel, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. I feel the same about those games, I love them and a fighting game can only extent the series. it allow you the fan see the series with new eyes.

I about the fighting... it is a good solid game, I never play BB so I don't know how good the game is, but I did play all the GGs... It you like GG you will like Persona, it has the same feeling.

Well IMO and the opinion of many others it's much more like Guilty Gear than Blazblue. With new unique characters who don't necessarily need to played in a specific way and aside from Labrys/Shadow Labrys no two characters have particularly similar moves. Tier list is well balanced and the top tier characters aren't much more powerful than everyone else.Plus the combo system isn't very rigid since you have an array of options with one more cancels, bursts etc. to create combos. The persona mechanic also adds a layer of depth as it acts idependently of the character and can lead to intricate setups.There are more things I can't think of off the top of my head and anyways I don't see why you're so down on it in general?

What baccano said. And it has Akihiko who plays like Vanessa from KOF!

[Tyrant292]

Thanks for the light guys. Never heard it was like that. Saw some videos though but well, you cant judge from what you see only I guess.

I'm sorry that I gave that vibe of feeling so down on it. I just wanted to get to know whats about the game and why all the hype about it. Hopefully some RPG players can get into fighting games now because of it.

Enjoy the game guys  .

Well I only got that impression cause usually when I see people say stuff like "it's another Blazblue game" they usually mean "well this games gonna suck" but I can tell now that wasn't the case.

And yeah hopefully more people will get into it with the Persona/SMT connection but only time will tell.

Is the online for PS3 really bad now or what? I assume it's week 1 issues or something.

[nilcam]

The online has been nothing but great for me. I only ever play in ranked so it's always one-on-one.
