Persona 4 Arena. Who has it, who's getting it? I've only had it for two days now, but it's growing on me fast. Chafed my left middle finger with my PS3 controller on the first day.
I'm playing Chie a lot. Elizabeth also seems cool. Not sure who else I'm into... Teddie is ****ing nuts, like Arakune from BlazBlue, except with regular movement. Double would be another example. He's everywhere. Naoto is also cool.
It's like BlazBlue Lite and hella more friendly. They give you one auto combo that you can do by mashing Square over and over, which I, as someone who came out of playing BlazBlue, feels cheapens the experience a bit, but it lets players do something awesome without having to memorize combos. So yeah, it's cool.
One thing I am happy about is that they simplified the movesets for each character. They're nearly identical to one another (inputs are 95% quarter circles haha), so it's easy to pick up and play different characters without having to the move list every single goddamn time. Each character has a special ability (counters, healing, etc.). Nothing as involved as BB, but it helps separate the characters quite a bit.
I'm not sure if the original BB had a challenge mode either, but P4A does, and it's basically an awesome tutorial thing that demonstrates simple and complex combos alike then lets you do them.
As I haven't beaten P4, I'm avoiding story and arcade mode like the plague, but from I hear it's a sequel. Lots of crazy stuff going on. It is great fun I hear.
Anyone can pick up this game. It's simple and fun, but can get as complex as BB for those who like that sort of thing.

Curious? There's no limits but your own imagination.

Does this mean it's available in australia? I'm looking more forward to p4: the golden. I heard there was some region lock for multiplayer with arena though?
Rowan:
Persona 4: Arena Is Region Locked, But The Online Servers Are Global | Siliconera
As far as I can tell, the discs are region locked, but multiplayer is unaffected. So Japanese/Europeans/Americans can all play together. Supposedly they region locked it because both games have English and Japanese text/voice, and they didn't want Japanese importing the American version at really low prices with their super strong yen.
It's out Sept. 7 in the EU, but there's no date listed for Australia.Do they tend to be within close proximity of each other.
I'm looking forward to P4G too, but they're such different games, haha. Get both?
