!

*drool*

Fighting gaaaaaaaames...

[Darcnova]

So many coming out this year/announced this year, it's quite fun...and seeing as it's of an IP I enjoy, it's gonna be a day one buy for me

Oh yeah, confirmed modes:

Arcade
Story
Versus
Online Versus

[Age]

And Score Attack

[Darcnova]

Is it? How did I miss that? Okay then, Score Attack as well...so it seems to have the basic modes in this type of game at least...

Ya know, I'm actually hoping for a few P3 characters to be confirmed...though I guess this is still technically P4

[Age]

I hope it expands a bit. 10 fighters isn't much (but a metagame only uses that many! >_<)

[Darcnova]

Well the scan of the character select screen MIGHT be from an early build...seeing as I haven't seen a game nowadays come out with 10 characters only...though I'm sure that if there are only 10 slots, then the P4 characters DO take priority...

I'm pretty sure that Yukari might be joining the roster, if they bring another P3 character in...as much as I'd love to say Akihiko stands a chance

[Age]

BlazBlue CT shipped with 12.

[Darcnova]

Yeah, which is why I said under 10, 12 is actually more around my prediction...not much of an increase, but it allows for a bit more diversity

Edit: Okay, I said that on Gamefaqs, but still, 12 is a decent number, for all characters being unique

[Judgment8]

Neeeds moooar KOROMARUUUUUUUUUUUUU!:

[Darcnova]

Koromaru is awesome and unique, but like I said, Yukari probably has the highest chance to be with Aigis, if we based this off of the Answer's ending

[Age]

Found info.

12 characters right now, may add more. P3 and P4 only for now, with emphasis on P4.
Story will be within P4 canon (!), set two months after true end of the game. Looks to be a 'friendly' tournament, so no gore and fights don't kill.
Aigis looks to be from The Answer,

Spoiler:

still looking for a way to bring P3MC back

. May function as a segue into P5 sidestory...

[Darcnova]

Okay, so my 12 character comment was correct...sweet. And yeah, I forgot to post the bit about the tournament, but now we can assume that all P4 characters will be in, with cameo characters being Aigis, and a couple others...

I like that this is gonna be in the canon, even though it's supposed to be a tournament...heh

[SinZinDetta]

A fighting game... really? What a bunch of crap. I would rather a volleyball, dance or kart game over this. Nice trolling there Atlus.

Spoiler:

P4 is the first Persona game, iirc, that the characters were able to use the persona after it's events were done, indefinitely. P3 was almost solely because of Aigis, and they lost the ability afterward.

Actually, I'd say that Aigis may be the only P3 persona user remaining since it's hardwired into her.

Teddie is hosting a tournament, probably for whatever reason (argument, perhaps?). Yu comes back to visit, sweatdrops at the events, and proceeds to enter anyway. Aigis hears about persona users that are still able to use their power and shows up to see if they can possibly help bring P3MC back, but is sucked into the tournament (research?) after it turns out they only have persona powers in TV World.

Stages will be the members individual dungeons, and Aigis will have the "Desert of Doors" as hers.

Oh, and they're aiming for a worldwide release. Awesome that there's already plans to export
