Persona Team Intimately Involved in Persona 4 Fighting Game Development

The big shocker from this week's Famitsu is Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka, an HD fighting game based of Persona 4. A few additional details have surfaced since word of the game first broke earlier in the day.

As detailed earlier (see this story), The Ultimate in Mayonaka is being developed by the BlazBlue staff at Arc System Works. But the Persona team appears to be intimately involved.

Speaking with Famitsu, the game's producer, Arc's Toshimichi Mori, said that he was shocked when Atlus came to them with the offer to work on the title. The BlazBlue team includes many fans of the Persona series, so their motivation for the project was very high, he said.

The Persona team didn't want to just have the BlazBlue team develop the game for them. Instead, they wanted the game to be a joint development project. According to Mori, game's director Takumi Iguchiya (whom you'll recognize as the lead programmer on the BlazBlue series) is working closely with the Persona team.

In addition to the commentary Mori, we have a list of modes that appears in Famitsu:

Arcade Mode: Face off against CPU opponents while following the story
Story Mode: Delve deeper into the arcade mode's story. This will be exclusive to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
Score Attack Mode: Face off against CPU opponents to get the high score
VS Mode: Face off against a CPU or human opponent
Online Battle: Face off against players throughout the world in online combat (I imagine that can be taken as confirmation of an international release...)
The game will include original stories for all its included characters, which come from both Persona 4 and Persona 3. The overarching story is set two months after the events of Persona 4. The characters appear on a fighting program called "P-1 Grand Prix."

The Ultimate in Mayonaka will be released first to arcades in Spring 2012. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will follow in the summer.

CHIE CASTING FIREBALLS? THAT'S NOT CANON!

/fatlus

Looks pretty but the character select screen

Reeks of 'they're holding back characters as DLC' as 10 fighters doesn't seem like very many in this day and age.

not sure if want

definitely curious, though!

**Stromgarde** · 08-31-2011 02:14 PM

I like Arcsys, I like Atlus. I like where this is going!

Edit: Who is the other Fool besides the P4 protagonist? It doesn't look like Minato or Hamuko.

**Callisto** · 08-31-2011 03:34 PM

**Deathbringer** · 08-31-2011 03:55 PM

lol

Art looks great, and I'm having a hard time containing my boner with this and P4V.

**Hitoshura** · 08-31-2011 05:34 PM

10 characters only? I didn't want them to drag P2 into this, but they definitely need to take a look at the other fighters out there and add more characters. Tatsuya from P2 would wipe the floor with anyone, would be awesome to see him in the game. EP kill bill style jumpsuit edition please.

**Kiarax** · 08-31-2011 07:06 PM

Might be like Arcana Heart. Selectable Persona after your character to mix it up a bit. You can end up having a single character play in multiple different styles that way, even though only a handful of moves change.

**Xno Kappa** · 08-31-2011 07:33 PM

Reminds me of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on GGPO.

**xopher** · 08-31-2011 07:40 PM

niggas complainin about 10 characters actin like this is the final build or some shit. like atlus/asw are gonna blow their load in the first screens.

**Hitoshura** · 08-31-2011 07:50 PM

Yeah can already see the "NANAKO-CHAN DLC announced! :3" and everyone frothing at the mouth for it.
