Once all cards are gone your Persona will need to recover, leaving your options severely hampered for a time. There are four blue card icons at the bottom of the screen, and if your Persona is hit while using a move you’ll lose a card. Each character’s combos are split between light and heavy attacks and Persona attacks, which tend to be stronger. The game’s most unique element comes with the actual Personas, which have two dedicated face buttons for moves. There are 22 different characters, each with their own unique moveset that fills some kind of fighting game archetype, like grapplers and item-based characters. Of course, the real attraction here is the fighting, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax manages to strike a good balance between accessibility and depth. Still, it is a direct sequel that provides a ton of context on where the cast of both games end up, and the writing is absolutely top-notch.

Interestingly, it also gives a voice to Persona 4’s protagonist, who absolutely nails a dry sense of humor.ĭon’t go in expecting the complexity of the mainline games, however, as Persona 4 Arena’s story is a straightforward, albeit charming, visual novel story broken up by the occasional fight. Following suit from Persona 4, the story in the Arena games tends to be a bit light-hearted and has some genuinely great humor. The story is fully voiced by the cast of Persona 4, and the bigger surprise is the returning characters from Persona 3, including Yukari, Ken, Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei, and Aigis. Just like with the original release, this version contains the story mode of both Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which was a pseudo-sequel and re-release. Developed by Arc System Works, of Guilty Gear fame, Persona 4 Arena almost perfectly adapts the ideas of Persona into a fighting game formula and wraps it all in a heartfelt story. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a direct sequel to the beloved Persona 4, and its re-release on modern consoles is the perfect time to jump into this overlooked gem.
#PERSONA 4 ARENA ULTIMAX MINATO UPGRADE#
Don't get discouraged from other's opinions if you truly think the upgrade would be worth it.Just when life was getting back to normal the Midnight Channel blazed back to life with a gaudy video about a fighting tournament, granting Yu Narukami the esteemed title of “Sister-Complex Kingpin of Steel.” I can still play AAA games from the early 2010s without much issue so if you're fine with that then go for it. Also i said mine was a potato solely due to the fact i couldn't run this 2d game.
#PERSONA 4 ARENA ULTIMAX MINATO UPDATE#
RAM: 8gb Wow, thats considered a potato stats? Im with i3 and 4gb ram, with windows 7, i was considering to update my pc to those, but i guess i still need to save my money for better PC Laptops are always weaker than their desktop equivalent along with plethora of issues so you would get better performance from the equivalent specs. Is anyone on minimum req specs facing the same issue? A 2d sprite-based game shouldn't be that difficult to run. I can't even play the story mode like this.

Heck i even tested at 640-480 and the game still runs in slow motion. It takes a second for a single quick attack to connect while playing with all settings at the lowest.

It's a potato but still meets the minimum requirements.
