This has all been done before, and with how long-winded the story arc actually is, even Persona 4's strongest fans will struggle to stay awake as they endlessly press X to reach the anticlimactic conclusion.Īlthough a fighting game, this is still a Persona game, and the story is a core part of that. The attempts at humour and whatnot are just so tired, overused and ineffective.
This is one game too many for the Investigation Team, as the developers have tried to squeeze every last drop out of such a popular cast. In P4 Arena Ultimax, which continues literally right after P4 Arena, the characters have lost so much charm and likeability. They did, though, and it made for a bad case of déjà vu in between what was otherwise a decent story with a solid enough new character in the form of Labrys.
PS3 PERSONA 4 ARENA ULTIMAX PS2
These characters were great in the original Persona 4 RPG, only to be written almost as if the confrontations between them and their Shadow selves had never happened when P4 Arena came around the inner demons they spent such a long time overcoming in the PS2 game shouldn't have phased them in the fighting tournament, especially as the events of the P1 Grand Prix happened but a mere week later. It was inevitable, really the culprit behind the events of the P1 Grand Prix in both fighting titles is a real let-down. Although some improvements have been made to the way the story is handled in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - namely that of a more linear path, which saves from so much repeated text that plagued each character's individual stories in Persona 4 Arena - this entry still suffers from poor writing that will really disappoint Persona fans.
Persona 3 fans, too, actually, since those characters are also here in abundance, despite the name of the game. There isn't really any two ways about it: the majority of Persona 4 fans are here for the story.
