Well, I was right about P4 getting a PSP port... But Vita? Come on. I just got my PSP two years ago. But... Where would the girl fit in...? I mean, Hamko fit in just fine with Shinjiro... But I can't imagine...

Dagnabbit now I HAVE to buy a Vita =_=

I wonder about this Marie character though. Just the fact that she has a name makes me think that she isnt a player character, at least not in the way that FemC was in P3P.

The fighting game sounds pretty lulzy though. Kinda interesting that is will be on the 360 as well.

I would also appreciate the ability to romance Kanji as a male character. I thought his questioning of gender roles was an interesting storyline, until they resolved it and he became boring again.

It would also be nice if they would balance out the characters a bit more, so that the best party make-up wasn't also the first four characters you get.

I already wanted a Vita, and this just sealed the deal for me.

The fighting game for PS3 is also a great choice.

There is a picture of the Marie character(below link). Unfortunately, looks like its another character in the game rather then another FemC. Welp looks like Souji has another arm candy to get his hands on.

Come to think of it, didn't someone from Atlus mentioned that they can't put a FemC in in a P4 portable game?

I'm more interested in the fighting game since it's an ASW title

I remember being hype when ASW was blowing up the fact that they got the rights to Guilty Gear back...then I was bummed because they said they weren't gonna make another one and that Blazblue was the NEW MESSIAH!!!!!!! then excited again when Daisuke said a new Guilty Gear was a possibility...then confused when ASW contradicted this statement again saying they were only going to make Blazblue games...and now I'm just...REALLY?! P4?! COME ON!!!!!!

....whatever still gonna play it, cause I'm such a friggin slut for ASW.

The port is unsurprising but the fighting game is well...WTF? worthy. Whatever, I know in the end I'll end up buying it.

woow. I'm sold for 2 reasons.
1. I love persona 4
2. I love her costume (Zettai Ryouiki banzai!)

Now I have 2 reasons why I have to buy a vita.
1. Disgaea 3 Return
2. Persona 4: The Golden

Hopefully it won't be half dumbed-down like Persona 3 Portable. They removed the ability to walk around the dorm, school, or anywhere in town, they just gave you a cursor to move over objects or interest. But then again P3P had a bunch of new stuff too.

Another fighting game. Excuse me while I feign excitement over another knock-off featuring a cast of anime characters and this alone will sell enough copies to satisfy those who bring it to the consoles (then watch the same audience squirm as they defend it takes much more than a cartoon character to warrant a purchase). What'll be different with this one? Intricate combo attacks? Easy of fighting (just press "A")? Or will it be the menu of all the girls people can play as?

Dead or Alive, you've met your match!

Though of interest are those foolish enough to endeavor the path of parting with their cash to a corporation hell bent on ruining the definitions of "customer service" and "customer satisfaction" over a product names after a Nanoha nemesis (originally).

I went from completely elated to severely disappointed in a matter of a couple moments.

That's what I had read at one point too, though I truly couldn't understand why not...from what I remember, the explanation was very vague. It seems pointless otherwise (to [female] players such as myself at least). Bottom line: DAMMIT I WANT TO DATE KANJI. So. freakin. bad.

Golden will have to damn good to warrant me buying a Vita. Ugh this is more frustrating to me than exciting now...

I'm very interested in the concept of a fighting game, though. ...Yet I've been way too interested/invested in P3/P4 for my own good these past few years. Damn it ATLUS, you keep pulling me back in!!!

Sonuva-... Seriously, guys? I was going to absolve from buying the Vita because I'm against the fact that it's firmware is technically outsourced to that Android junk, and now Atlus is holding a GUN to my head? Why can't they bring it to my 3DS... ;3;

I CALLED IT!

With the Vita being closer in power to the PS3, this should be way better than the PS2 version, spoiler[which I just bought 2 weeks ago].
