Icrea's Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Aigis EX Origa Figure Lights Up

Icrea is set to release a figure of Aigis from Persona 3 based on her EX Origa Mode from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax in October 2024. While this figure is based on her appearance from the fighting game, the design for the Aigis EX Origa Mode figure is based on the illustration drawn by Shigenori Soejima for Square Enix's Lord of Vermillion Re:2 collaboration. Pre-orders will run from now until December 22, 2023 and the figure will cost ¥33,000 (approximately $223 USD).

Under the supervision of Soejima, this Aigis figure features high quality modeling and coloring. The Aigis figure is a 1/6 scale statue with an LED light emitting from her Papillon Heart, casting a blue glow on the figure when it is turned on. Aigis stands atop a pedestal with red iron beams and grey concrete while posed as if she is activating her EX Origa Mode.

Images of the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Aigis EX Origa Mode figure can be viewed below:

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax originally released in arcades Japan in 2013 and then later released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2014. The game was eventually ported over to the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam in 2022. The game served as an arcade fighter crossover between Persona 3 and Persona 4 as the characters from both games try to make sense of a mysterious force behind the reappearance of the Midnight Channel in Inaba. The cast of both games must compete in the P-1 Climax fighting tournament to uncover the truth and save the world from the Shadows that threaten to destroy it.

The Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Aigis EX Origa Mode figure is scheduled to release in October 2024.

Persona is a series that's done super well for Atlus over the years. Basically, a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off turned into an IP that is more recognizable to some than the original RPGs that spawned it. This does mean it might seem a bit overwhelming to hop into the series. Especially since there are numbered installments and spin-offs. However, it's all really quite approachable, and it isn't too difficult to jump in if you're wondering how to start playing through the Persona games.

How to Get Started with the Persona Series

How to Play the Mainline Persona Games in Order 1d4f3o

First, here is the full list of Persona games. Only certain entries really should be played in order.

You should play Revelations: Persona/SMT Persona before Persona 2: Innocent Sin, then Innocent Sin before Eternal Punishment. There are overarching elements that all tie together here, as well as recurring characters.

With the later Persona games, it’s best to start with a Persona 3 entry, then move on to Persona 4 and 5. However, all three are completely self-contained, so you don’t have to play them all in order or worry about losing context if you only choose to go through one.

  • Revelations: Persona (PSX) or Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (PSP)
  • Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PSX, PSP) - The PSX version only appeared in Japan.
  • Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PSX, PSP) - The PSP version only appeared in Japan.
  • Persona 3 (PS2), Persona 3 FES (PS2), or Persona 3 Portable (PS4, PSP, Switch, Xbox One, XSX, PC) - I’d recommend Persona 3 FES, as it is the fullest experience, but Persona 3 Portable is the easiest one to find and play now.
  • Persona 4 (PS2) or Persona 4 Golden (PS4, Switch, Vita, Xbox One, XSX, PC) - Go with Persona 4 Golden here, as it is the easiest to find and features the most lore and gameplay.
  • Persona 5 (PS3, PS4) or Persona 5 Royal (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, XSX, PC) - Persona 5 Royal is the smart choice here, as it’s available on more platforms and includes additional story elements.

How to Play the Persona Games in Order Persona 5 Strikers

But What About the Persona Game Spin-Offs? 6ak5c

Okay, this isn’t too tricky. Mainly, because only one line of spin-offs actually has a consistent story to it. Even though the Dancing and Q games are considered sequels, there’s no overarching story.

Persona 4 Arena 6k1q2t

These are the fighting games with Persona 3 and 4 characters. Ultimax takes place after the original, so play them in order to get the full story! Though if you’re getting one of the more modern remasters of Ultimax, you’re good and can already go through things properly in order.

  1. Persona 4 Arena (PS3, Xbox 360) -
  2. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, PC) -

Persona Dancing 3u3y65

All of the Persona Dancing entries are rhythm games. A good rule of thumb is to play the ones for entries whose soundtracks you enjoyed most.

  1. Persona 4: Dancing All Night (PS4, Vita) - As this is the entry with a story mode, you’ll want to play it first.
  2. Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight (PS4, Vita) or Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight (PS4, Vita) - As these entries aren’t as story heavy and “take place” at the same time, you can go with whichever entry’s music you prefer first.

Persona Q 3w1a6s

These are essentially Persona takes on the Etrian Odyssey dungeon-mapping formula. Each installment is self-contained. So play the original if you only like the Persona 3 and 4 characters, and go into Persona Q2 if you like the Persona 3, 4 and 5 folks. The sequel does build on mechanics, so you may want to go with that second if you play both.

  • Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (3DS)
  • Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth (3DS)

Persona 5 Strikers 1e72r

This is a weird one too! It takes place after Persona 5. Not Persona 5 Royal, to be specific. It’s a Musou-style beat’em up, so play and beat Persona 5 before getting into this PS4, Switch, and PC game for the best experience.

Persona 4 Golden Beef Bowl

To commemorate the rerelease of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, PlayStation Japan opted to put potential opponents into a food coma. To do this, they recreated the Rainy Day Special Beef Bowl from Persona 4 Golden.

First appearing in Persona 4 on PS2 and its Persona 4 Golden expansion on the Vita and later PC, the Rainy Day Special Beef Bowl was available at the Chinese restaurant Aiya in Inaba on days when it rained in-game. Players could pay 3,000 Yen (about $35 USD in 2010 when the game first released) to challenge a bowl containing a "truly staggering amount of meat."

Completing the challenge required that players effectively max out their Social Skills, but even a failure resulted in significant gains across multiple categories, making it an effective way to spend time on rainy days.

https://twitter.com/PlayStation_jp/status/1504291437013200898?s=20&t=k72vSOJj1P91odD42Bv8yw

PlayStation Japan's Persona 4 Golden beef bowl video attempts to recreate the in-game dish. That being said, unlike Persona 5's Leblanc curry, the real-life recipe is a fairly standard one. Interestingly, the recipe calls for pork, rather than beef. In the original game, the Rainy Day Special is a "meat bowl," rather than a "beef bowl" as it appears in the English localization.

The video calls for chopped garlic and onions, heated, then simmered in a mixture of vegetable soup stock, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and white wine. The thinly sliced pork is then cooked and placed in the sauce to simmer. Some of the sauce is then removed and reduced to use as sauce. A bowl is then filled with a generous amount of rice and meat, with a raw egg left to melt over the top.

Of course, depending on the amount made for the Persona 4 Golden beef bowl (or meat bowl), one may need Understanding of one's limits, Knowledge to control one's pace, Courage to face the unrelenting tide of meat, and Diligence to persevere against the colossal challenge.

Persona 4 Golden is available on PS Vita and PC. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is available on PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out its launch trailer.

Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Packs a Punch on the PS4

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is back! The Midnight Channel picked up the P-1 Climax again, apparently. Which is good for people who love a competent, robust Arc System Works fighter or Persona in general. The game remains as well-executed as ever, with the complete edition offering a pretty and tidy package to enjoy.

Like the original Persona 4 Arena, Ultimax involves someone using the Midnight Channel to again hold the P1-Climax tournament. Both the Persona 4 Investigation Team led by Yu Narukami and Kirijo Group Shadow Operatives led by Mitsuru Kirijo are dealing with what’s going on. All of them end up ascending a tower at Yasogami and fighting Shadows while trying to work out what’s going on. It very heavily ties in to both Persona 4 and Persona 4 Arena. Which means people unfamiliar with those games might feel a bit left out. Fortunately, the latter’s story mode is included, due to this version offering that DLC right away.

Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Packs a Punch on the PS4

As for the array of modes, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax includes a range of options that exceed expectations. Which, well, is to be expected from Arc System Works. Everything you could want and need is here. Do you love the characters from Persona 3 and 4 and want to find out why they’re fighting? The P4A: Story Mode and Episode P4 and P3 have you covered with the tales from both the original installment and this sequel. Playing online? There are ranked and casual modes, with rooms and lobbies in the PS4 version. Want to fight? Arcade, Score Attack, Golden Arena, and Versus are all there to offer different options. You can also learn what you’re doing in Challenge, Lesson, and Training Mode. There is something for everyone at every skill level. (Especially considering the story modes have an “auto” option.)

Speaking of that auto mode, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is truly designed with everyone in mind. Which is very wise, given people who love the Persona series might not be as well versed with fighting games. Likewise, people who love tight fighters might feel exhausted by the prospect of tons of text. The design strikes a good balance. People who are coming from the games and have no experience can easily keep pressing a single button to chain a combo.

Not to mention characters’ movesets all make use of 214+attack or 236+attack for specials and 236236+attack for supers. It’s pretty easy to learn when every person’s using the same inputs. Not to mention when Challenge is holding your hand. But if someone is having trouble, letting autopilot take over so you can watch the story or learning through Lessons and Challenges, and using the RPG elements of Golden Arena let you build yourself up are there.

Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Packs a Punch on the PS4

For the people who are veterans or familiar with fighters, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax offers plenty of depth. For example, this version includes the 2.5 update that never appeared outside Japan until now. This means that the Shadow characters can be a bit more versatile. Their Shadow Frenzy uses burst and SP to dictate how much you can do and for how long. They also can pay more attention to SP used to determine how much damage they’ll use. They can take advantage of the Skill Hold to deal more damage. You might also spend more time thinking about the status ailments available and which ones you’ll use to hamper an opponent. Not to mention the more traditional fighting game technical elements like counters, Fatal Counters, canceling, and playing around with combos.

So yes, everything is on as strong a foundation as before. Better, thanks to a few other bonuses. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on the PS4 is essentially a “definitive” edition. That means all of the DLC from the original game are there. Which in this case the highlights are the P4A: Story Mode, Adachi Story Mode, and Adachi, Margaret, and Marie DLC characters. All of them absolutely add to the experience. As does the being able to go with English or Japanese voice overs. Pair that with Arc System Works’ 2D fighters always being gorgeous and the touch up for its resolution, and it looks amazing. Everything is smooth, fluid, and true to the series’ identity.

Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Packs a Punch on the PS4

There’s also the subject of online offerings. Given I was playing ahead of launch, I wasn’t able to see and test everything. For example, the lobbies were empty when I’d visit and I certainly wasn’t happening upon anyone for Ranked matches. But I did happen to find myself in a room with at one point five people playing. While there, clear indicators let you know everyone’s WiFi signal quality. (Both colors and numbers appear in the icon next to their name.) Occasionally, the introductory clip showing the stage stuttered, but conditions were great ahead of launch. I fought three matches and was a spectator for nine others. There wasn’t any lag, inputs worked well, and things worked exactly the way one would expect. Considering we also have rollback netcode coming to the PS4 version post-launch, it seems like a solid situation.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is another example of the incredible work the people at Arc System Works can do. It perfectly captures the spirit of both Persona 3 and 4, all without pandering or feeling unnecessary. It’s incredibly robust. It looks and plays well on the PS4. It is considerate of people coming to it who aren’t well-versed with fighting games, yet also ready to challenge people who know what they’re doing. The only thing that might deter some people from getting invested is how heavily it relies on the source property. It really does mean knowing and loving Persona 4, at the very least. But even if you don’t and just appreciate a solid fighter, it is worth someone’s time.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC on March 17, 2022.

Ken and Koromaru in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - Atlus published streaming guidelines

Atlus shared new streaming guidelines for the ports of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on its Japanese Persona Channel website. It generally allows s and streams for most parts of the fighting game outside of its story segments.

While the company discourages people to make a profit from the gameplay videos, it makes an exception to secondary profit from website services like the YouTube Partner Program. However, Atlus strictly forbids any streams and s of the ports before the official release date on March 17, 2022.

Atlus has been known for its strict rules about video s and live streams of its titles. In its guidelines, it generally asks video creators to add spoiler warnings when their videos include critical story elements. It also prohibits s containing only the game's music and videos made with illegal methods, such as hacks and exploits. The company published similar guidelines to its prior releases like Shin Megami Tensei VShin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster, and Persona 5 Strikers.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax originally appeared on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and arcades. New ports of the fighting game will be available simultaneously worldwide for PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on March 17, 2022. A rollback netcode patch will come to the PS4 and PC versions in Summer 2022.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Rollback Netcode Confirmed 1r6q2f https://siliconera.voiranime.info/persona-4-arena-ultimax-rollback-netcode-confirmed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=persona-4-arena-ultimax-rollback-netcode-confirmed https://siliconera.voiranime.info/persona-4-arena-ultimax-rollback-netcode-confirmed/#respond <![CDATA[Josh Tolentino]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:00:10 +0000 <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 4]]> <![CDATA[Arc System Works]]> <![CDATA[Asia]]> <![CDATA[Atlus]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Persona 4 Arena Ultimax]]> https://siliconera.voiranime.info/?p=918242 <![CDATA[

Persona 4 Arena rollback

Atlus will add rollback netcode to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. It is confirmed for the PS4 and PC versions. The company and Arc System Works opted to improve its online performance through the implementation of the protocol, now preferred for fighters who play online matches. The team noted it was considering the idea back in December 2021.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Producer Kazuhisa Wada delivered the rollback netcode announcement via a brief message, which was then posted by Atlus West's Twitter .

https://twitter.com/Atlus_West/status/1498133354016755712

In the announcement, Wada noted that the addition of rollback wouldn't be instant. At the game's re-launch in March 2022, the standard netcode will still be the default. The PS4 and PC patches to add rollback will be deployed in Summer 2022.

For the uninitiated, netcode is basically a way for two network-connected players' platforms to talk to each other over the internet. In fighting games, the two main forms these strategies take are split into delay-based and rollback. As fighting games rely heavily on ensuring that players are synced up and are able to their inputs correctly, various netcode styles are of high importance. Delay-based netcode is comparatively simpler to to implement, but is particularly bad at compensating for differences in network quality. In situations where bad connections or long distances between players introduces input lag, delay-based games can feel worse to play online. Rollback netcode, when it is introduced to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, will replace this with one based on prediction. It will use a system to guess a player's input and roll back frames when desynchronizing is detected. This approach is said to result in a much smoother experience, one able to hide the "lag" that inevitably affects online play.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is available on the PS3, but will release for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC on March 17, 2022. Its rollback patch will arrive in Summer 2022 for the PS4 and PC.

Persona 4 Arena rollback

Atlus will add rollback netcode to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. It is confirmed for the PS4 and PC versions. The company and Arc System Works opted to improve its online performance through the implementation of the protocol, now preferred for fighters who play online matches. The team noted it was considering the idea back in December 2021. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Producer Kazuhisa Wada delivered the rollback netcode announcement via a brief message, which was then posted by Atlus West's Twitter . https://twitter.com/Atlus_West/status/1498133354016755712 In the announcement, Wada noted that the addition of rollback wouldn't be instant. At the game's re-launch in March 2022, the standard netcode will still be the default. The PS4 and PC patches to add rollback will be deployed in Summer 2022. For the uninitiated, netcode is basically a way for two network-connected players' platforms to talk to each other over the internet. In fighting games, the two main forms these strategies take are split into delay-based and rollback. As fighting games rely heavily on ensuring that players are synced up and are able to their inputs correctly, various netcode styles are of high importance. Delay-based netcode is comparatively simpler to to implement, but is particularly bad at compensating for differences in network quality. In situations where bad connections or long distances between players introduces input lag, delay-based games can feel worse to play online. Rollback netcode, when it is introduced to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, will replace this with one based on prediction. It will use a system to guess a player's input and roll back frames when desynchronizing is detected. This approach is said to result in a much smoother experience, one able to hide the "lag" that inevitably affects online play. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is available on the PS3, but will release for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC on March 17, 2022. Its rollback patch will arrive in Summer 2022 for the PS4 and PC.

New Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Trailer Focuses on Its Fights

With the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Switch, PS4, and PC versions on the way, Atlus is helping prepare with yet another trailer. This time, the video focuses on the fights possible in this 2D fighter. It showcases the roster, which includes returning characters from both Persona 3 and Persona 4. It also includes a number of original characters, like Labrys and Sho.

Here's the latest Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Switch, PS4, and PC trailer. As a reminder, while this is the sequel to Persona 4 Arena, people don't need to worry about getting the separate game. The first entry's story is also included in it.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC on March 17, 2022. On Steam, there is also a Midnight Channel Collection bundle that includes copies of both this and Persona 4 Golden for $34.98.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax port may have rollback netcode patch

The latest issue of Famitsu features new coverage for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. It also includes an interview with Atlus' Kazuhisa Wada about the recently announced ports. Wada announced that his team is considering adding rollback netcode to the fighting game with an update patch. [Thanks, Ryokutya!]

In the same interview, Wada also revealed that Atlus is now more keen on doing multiplatform releases after seeing more than one million Persona 4 Golden units sold on PC as of July 2021.

Here are some of the highlights from Famitsu's interview with Kazuhisa Wada about the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax ports:

  • "With the flow where we saw Persona on Steam suring one million units sold, we have massively scaled up the initial flow, which includes platform deployments."
  • "This title is currently undergoing final adjustments. It is important to us that we release this as the definitive version of Persona 4 Arena series where people can enjoy (almost) everything, from battles, stories, to DLC."
  • "We are currently considering implementing the rollback feature with a patch at a later date."

Atlus recently revealed the new remastered ports for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax at The Game Awards 2021. When the game originally came out for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2014, the company added Tohru Adachi, Marie, and Margaret as DLC characters. The ports will have them included in-game.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will appear on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on March 17, 2022. The fighting game is currently available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
