If and when it happens, we will have a hopefully superior product to rally around – but until it does, if it ever does, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on PS4, Steam, and Switch represents the definitive Persona fighting game experience. And judging by the way that Atlus has handled narrative in Persona 5 spin offs so far, either 5 Arena won’t be saddled with an elaborate story mode, or if it is, it will be actually well written for a change. Thoughts- Like many, I hope that one day, we get a Persona 5 Arena game, one that allows the all star casts of Persona 3 and 4 to duke it out with the Phantom Thieves. What makes it worse is the game shoves it in your face all the time and it gets annoying. Persona 3 and 4 are some of the best experiences I have had in gaming and this game does none of those characters any justice. This basically makes a good chunk of the content bad and a chore to get through. Bad- The story, wrting, and characterization is absolutely awful. The rollback netcode is also something that should be praised. The transition of the Persona universe into a fighting game is done really well. The controls are tight and easy to master. The transition of the Good- So much content it's insane.
