Persona Q 3DS Game's Fūka, Rise Character Videos Streamed

Japanese video game publisher Atlus began streaming character introduction videos for Persona 3's Fūka Yamagishi and Persona 4's Rise Kujikawa for its upcoming Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Nintendo 3DS game on Friday:

Fuka: I'll try and scan the nearby area with my Perso- Aah!?
Fūka: Please be careful! I really do sense a Shadow!
Fūka: My name is Fūka Yamagishi. I'm a little different from everyone else, as my power is one used for back-up, and um... I look forward to working with you!
Fūka: My power is kind of special, right? I can't fight Shadows like everyone else, so I'm really happy to have met you Rise, since you're the same.
Fūka: Wh-What'll I do... We've only just met...
Fūka: I really am happy that I was able to become allies with you all!
Fūka: I think that this enemy is fairly powerful. Please be on your guard!
Fūka: Three enemies! We have the advantage!
Yōsuke: All right, here we go!
Fūka: An attack from the enemy! There are three of them!
Minato: Tch...! This is bad...!
Fūka: Please... Lucia!
Fūka: That's our leader! Nice work!
Fūka: I don't think there's anything we can't overcome. Since it's us, we'll be fine!

Rise: Hey, senpai, what's up with this
pretty lady!? I didn't hear anything about her!
Rise: Persona! Ah! It came out! Wait! There's a Shadow up ahead.
Rise: All right then, you guys, do your best! I'll back you up from here!
Rise: Senpai, you were so cool!
Rise: Back-up!? Then you're the same as me! Let's talk a lot!
Rise: Actually... There was a time when I lost sight of myself. Somewhere along the way while I was playing Risecchi, a character pushed upon me, I lost myself... But I was saved. I found out that I'm me, and that includes Risecchi, too.
Rise: We'll support you from the Velvet Room, so all you senpais, keep it together!
Rise: It's strong, but we have the upper-hand!
Yū: Yeah, here we go!
Rise: Be careful! The enemy is attacking first! There are three of them!
Rise: Come on, Himiko!
Rise: Even though it was that dangerous, you won! Senpai, you really are too amazing!
Rise: There's nothing that we can't talk about and understand together: We're allies who have each other's backs. What we don't have enough of is courage.

The game will ship in Japan on June 5. People who pre-order the game will receive the Persona Q: Sound of the Labyrinth original soundtrack. The CD will feature the new music from the game, in special re-arrangements by the Atlus sound team that can only be heard on this CD.

There will also be a Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Famitsu DX Pack with the game itself, a B2-size tapestry illustrated by the Persona Q anime staff, an A3-size clear poster illustrated by Atlus, a set of five different visual clear file folders, an original mug cup, and a Graphig paper figure of Rei.
