I'm not a huge anime fighter player but this has been the one I'm most interested in since the original release of BlazBlue. I am mainly a Street Fighter player and psuedo Tekken player originally, I may just transition to play this more diligently upon release. Here's a few videos I found from some weekly ranbats (ranking battle) and tournament footage if any of you are interested.

It is. Atlus approached Arc Sys, the makers of Guilty Gear and Blazblue, to make a fighting game based off their Persona franchise and this is what we got. It looks real good. There's a Persona 4 Anime airing right now and should be finishing up soon. PS Vita is getting another Persona 4 remake with some additional content and remade graphics. It's a very personified year.
Some tournament and casual footage [video=youtube;DYWkXlc5scc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYWkXlc5scc[/video] [video=youtube;wdaHn6VhNS4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdaHn6VhNS4[/video] [video=youtube;cSh43bBHBTc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSh43bBHBTc[/video] [video=youtube;q3nnW5IeHw4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3nnW5IeHw4[/video] [video=youtube;DXsIzHxXC3Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXsIzHxXC3Y[/video] [video=youtube;otzoi4mciMU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzoi4mciMU[/video] [video=youtube;najFWnbO-cU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=najFWnbO-cU[/video] [video=youtube;JFLdN5tAszU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFLdN5tAszU[/video]
Japanese version is out!! For those of you with import PS3's and Xboxes, you can play it. Sadly it's region locked so if you have an NTSC-NA console like me, we'll ahve to wait until August 7th release date.
50% combos feel good brah [video=youtube;OBMnirezh18]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBMnirezh18[/video]
