The story mode takes place almost directly after the events of Persona 4 Arena where the team showed Labrys off. Because of this, even fans of the Persona franchise who are more interested in the story than the fighting components will have something to look forward to, and it certainly bodes well for them that fights are pretty much set to easy. Whether they want to actually trudge through it is a different story. True to its predecessor, Ultimax features an incredible amount of plot to dig through, with the opening chapters alone for both scenarios taking upwards of an hour each to get through.
The Story mode is told through a visual novel-style structure where character stills appear on screen and a hefty amount of dialogue is spoken. Starting off with fans of the RPG series, Persona 4 Arena contained a massive somewhat-branching story to complete, and Ultimax is no different. Whether you’re a fan of Persona or fighting games, Arena Ultimax seems to offer something for everybody. With its success, Arc System Works continued to work on the project with Atlus, even going as far as creating a sequel filled with a new story and upgraded mechanics.
While combat is in the series’ nature, traditional sprite-based fighting was no doubt an interesting new take, putting friends up against one another in an all-out brawl.
Taking place in the Persona 3 and Persona 4 world, what fans received was an unusual take on the compelling, story-driven RPG. The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is not without its share of deviations from the core content, but 2012’s Persona 4 Arena was in itself a spin-off of a spin-off.
