![]() There are hints of another Persona 4: Arena sequel, but this title definitely closes out (most of) the story and gives each character a nice epilogue. There's a lot of fun character interaction between the P3 and P4 casts, and more importantly, Ultimax has a defined ending. It's also unfortunate that you have to do the P4 plot first, since it has fewer new characters to play. This hurts in the P3 path, which is only available after you've finished the P4 path and reiterates the same plot, only different characters. The Mastermind shows up early in the game, and there aren't any twists or turns, so the story isn't very complicated. Every character has the rules explained to them by General Teddie, and then they spend time discussing the mystery of the glowing fragments that are released after each battle. ![]() Although the plot is pretty linear, the game spends a lot of time reiterating the same information. Given the short amount of time between battles, the story is cute but very shallow. The plot forces you to use certain characters, but several battles offer a choice of foes. You can pick which point on the timeline to hit next, but there are only two points open at any given time, and you have to do both eventually. ![]() Both stories tell roughly the same plot and are told in a semi-linear fashion. It focuses on Junpei, Ken and Yukari since they're new characters. Once you've finished the P4 story mode, you can take on the P3 story, which revolves around the Persona 3 cast members. The bulk of this involves the characters you played as in Arena, although there is a subplot featuring Rise and her combat-capable persona. Ultimax's plot is divided into two parts, but the only part that's initially available is the "P4" route, which focuses on the Persona 4 cast. The Investigation Squad and the Shadow Operative's backup squad must team up to save the day. If they aren't rescued before the Dark Hour is up, the world is doomed. The Investigation Squad is informed that the Shadow Operatives have been captured and are being held in a Tartarus-like tower. The Shadow Operatives go missing, and when midnight hits the town of Inaba, it experiences something like the Dark Hour from Persona 3. In a few days, danger rears its ugly head again. The combined heroes of Persona 3 and Persona 4 have defeated Shadow Labrys, but the source of the deadly P1 Tournament is still a mystery. Persona 4: Arena Ultimax picks up directly where the last game, Persona 4: Arena, left off.
