Persona + Fighting game = fun but certainly not for everyone

very fun over the top fighting game with characters from persona 3 and 4? sign me up! wish I could play it with friends but I got the PC version
eh
Fun when you don’t got your friend playing exclusively Adachi in the 1v1
the streets are still waiting paitiently for the adachi/akechi shadow the hedehog esque solo game or perhaps a "Hobbs and Shaw" kind of situation
Was absolutely hooked when I watched Moopoke's highlight vids. Although when rereleased, no rollback netcode even though it's in "beta" :( I will play it more later since it's techincally a Persona 4 sequel.
Reason behind this is that it's just a alright, generic fighting game but with persona. Mechanics and tech, its alright. Style and art, I might drop it an A. The overall aesthetic is all interlinked, nothing seems overly out of place. it's alright, nothing more or less.
P4AU is an incredible sequel to (after P4A) Persona 4. Crossing over with Persona 3 doesn't just offer great fanservice but it makes the world of Persona truly feel connected, and lovingly makes it so all these characters are canonically aware of each other's existence. Labrys's character is so lovable, and Sho is someone you love to hate. The game itself is fun, having the Persona summoning system to shake up the core mechanics of a fighting game by essentially giving every character a puppet gimmick.
Awesome fighting game (especially on Steam since you have rollback online and for free), story mode a little eh.
Fuck Sho, though, and not literally in a sexual sense. Edgy asshole that wishes to be 5% as good written as that other main villain.

A massive improvement over the original Arena in a lot of ways. Combat is more fun to play and with a bit of a bigger roster as well. Story is better structured compared the original Arena though I have a slight issue with it. I get Atlus wanted the P4 and P3 casts to have their own campaign but honestly I wished both were combined into a single campaign cause this is a narrative that works better when both casts get equal time to share the spotlight rather then one at a time. I like the game overall thankfully and I would play it again.
P.S. Love that Adachi got his own story dlc and he had some pretty good development in it.

it's fun jank at least
Shadow characters are kind of a fun addition but really they're just situationally slightly better/worse versions of the same characters most of the time. The game stands up enough on its own though; the characters are unique and fun and the music is good too. I wish the attacks had a little more oomph though.
I love persona and I'm terrible at fighting games but I still liked this game (for reasons other than the intro song). But there was some confusing ass mechanics with the shadow and default versions and there was so much anime fighter jargon bs in there it def scared me off as a more casual player.
Overall super fun game!!
Played this super quick, pretty much in a single day because I was actually super engrossed in the story. It picked up IMMEDIATELY after the first game, which is interesting the year or two it took between them to come out, but I'm glad I was able to just do them mostly all together.
First of all, the storymode flowed WAYYY better. So glad it all flowed so I didn't have to worry about what one to do next etc. The story was actually REALLY good this time, I loved all the callbacks to the original games etc, and having Ikutsuki's actions be more relevant to the world besides the bullshit he pulled in 3 was awesome. Really felt like a true and proper sequel to these games and it feels fantastic.
The final battle was cool, once again another wasted opportunity for Nyarly to be the villain, but alas.
I played super quick so I'd say short and sweet, but I enjoyed the journey a lot, seeing the Investigation Team experience the Dark Hour was so fun and the rest of SEES as adults was just incredible.
Hoping one day they continue the story threads made for Sho and Elizabeth!

Landing Burn to a Crisp SP makes me feel dirty, i love it so much.
It really sucks seeing a game you care about and enjoy die so quickly after being ported. Haven't had the chance to start the story yet, but playing Adachi is always fun!
blown away by how rad the story mode to this game was!! very meaty with some incredible writing and voice acting, sticking true to mainline persona games. the gameplay is sick, basically what you expect form an arcsys fighter. hoping for p5 arena, especially after how they handled this gem
if you only play the story and rate it off of that alone you deserve to get bullied as much as the writers do
other than that, we'll meet in the arena, friends

this game cool but i don't understand it cuz i suck at fgs🙏
Where I really started to learn how to play fighting games. The story is alright, but the way it manages to show so many characters from both P3 and P4 was incredible.
This is a really good fighting game, it’s Arcades, of course it’s good.
The added characters are nice, but the story mode is somehow much more frustrating than P4A’s despite being more coherent. I am aware that the gameplay is more important, however, and the gameplay is still solid.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a definitive version of Persona 4 Arena with a lot of fun to be had in it. Featuring the original roster alongside all DLC it is a very good Arc Systems game that somehow manages to cram most of Persona’s turn-based battle mechanics into a fighting game format.
Unlike JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, another one of my favorite fighting games, it is much harder to enjoy P4AU if you are not a Persona fan. It leaves out vital information about the characters from Persona 4 and returning ones from Persona 3 that would require knowledge of those game’s plot lines. The story mode for the game is, in a way, a direct sequel to Persona 4 Golden, just in a different genre.
Though Persona fans will get much more enjoyment out of P4AU, that does not mean non-Persona fans will find it worthless, though it will be far less likely of a purchase for them. If you’re interested in the game but do not have a lot of knowledge on the series, I’d recommend BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle which features a number of the P4AU characters, using the same movesets and sprites.

I AM LITERALLY A FUCKING GOD AS NAOTO TRY ME BITCH
Best Persona spinoff by far. Story mode was actually extremely good, thought Sho was a really good villain, and I like the way P3 and P4's stories are merged. Gameplay is also extremely fun.
Alexa play Marilyn Manson's The Fight Song
when i discover a new move and have to be a nuisance with it
this game is fucking bizarre, everything about this game should not work and yet they do, people say it's like blazblue but it's just fucking bizarre idek what to compare this game to
fun as fuck tho and the stories good, the ost is quite lacking tho and certain characters make me want to kill myself
