The Empress Descends! Margaret Confirmed For ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’

by Josh Jackson

With nearly every important character from Persona 3 and Persona 4 included in the upcoming fighter, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it was only a matter of time before The Empress made her appearance. Starting the week after release, Margret, the Velvet Room Attendant from P4 will make her fighting game debut as downloadable content.

While every other character in the game is limited to one Persona, Margaret will command multiple ones, including Cu Chulanin, Yoshitsune and Ardha on top of eight Persona Cards. To say that she has the deck stacked against her opponents would be an understatement, (pun kind-of intended), and anyone who faced off against her in the core RPG series knows how dangerous she is. How will this play out in a fighting game arena? And what will happen when she comes face to face with her sister, Elizabeth, who abandoned the position that Margaret currently holds? We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out.

Unlike the previously announced characters, Adachi and Marie, Margaret WILL NOT be free at any point, but will be available for purchase after the free period for the first two downloadable characters passes. The price point hasn’t been revealed yet, but if it’s anything like Arc System Works’ previous fighters, there’s a good chance it can get pricey. Plus, I’m sure the DLC announcements aren’t done yet, since there’s still one major character who’s missing from the fight. Any guesses?

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will arrive on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 30th.

Watch The ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’ FreeLC Fighters In Action With This Adachi And Marie Trailer!

by Josh Jackson

We reported over the last few months on the reveal of two DLC characters that are coming to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the sadistic detective, Adachi, and the mysterious tsundere poet, Marie. Though we’ve seen various screenshots, we finally have our chance to see them in action.

Adachi uses Magatsu Izanagi to fuel his insane need for destruction. From the trailer, it’s clear that it will be used in a completely different way compared to Yu’s standard Izanagi. With Marie, her weather effects help her manipulate the field, allowing her to do damage with her giant bag, not to mention her Persona, Izanami. But is there more to her relationship with her Persona as meets the eye?

Both Marie and Adachi will be available as free DLC for the first week, starting on September 30th. Two free characters are a hard thing to come by these days, so any fighting fans or Atlus enthusiasts should jump on the deal. Until then, check out the trailer and let us know if you’re planning on picking the game up!

The TV World Is Getting Darker Thanks To The Villains Of ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’

by Josh Jackson

It wasn’t too long ago that a new batch of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax trailers arrived, but we already have a new set for us to get hyped over ahead of its September 30th release date. This time, the villains of the game are showcased, bringing the dark side of the TV world into focus.

Starting with Sho Minazuki, he’s the only character so far that lacks a Persona. Still, his hard hitting twin sword abilities more than make up for this fact, keeping the pressure on his opponents before they can get their offense going.

 

Yet, just because Sho doesn’t use a Persona doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one. Named Minazuki, his alternate form is a separate character, which utilizes his sword skills in conjunction with his partner, making the two even more deadly.

 

And finally, Shadow Labrys returns from the previous game, carrying over her unique trait of having her Persona on the field at all times. Vicious multi-hit combos and essentially two opponents at the same time make Shadow Labrys insanely dangerous, which should go without saying. Have you seen that face at the top?

 

Expect more information, trailers and reveals as Persona 4 Arena Ultimax gets closer to release date. Have you decided on your main yet?

Inaba’s Greatest Get New ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’ Trailers

by Josh Jackson

With Persona 4 Arena Ultimax about a month away, and most of the new characters revealed, it’s about time the returning cast gets a share of the spotlight. Featuring the key members of Inaba’s investigation team from Persona 4, Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura and Yukiko Amagi take the stage to show off the new tricks they’re bringing to the fight.

Starting with Yu, using his sword skills and his electric Persona, Izanagi, this easy to pick up fighter uses fast, hard hitting skills to deal big damage.

 

Second, Yosuke and Jiraiya take advantage of their wind skills to move around the field in confusing ways, keeping opponents guessing. If those don’t work, his ability to inflict status effects will definitely help.

 

Lastly, Yukiko and Konohana Sakuya bring the heat with their fire skills and ranged abilities, with the unique trait of being able to make her attacks unblockable.

 

This is just a taste of what the game will offer. If you’ve missed the previous trailers, check them out here. How excited are you for the next chapter in the Persona story? Let us know!
