The day after the original P-1 Grand Prix, the Midnight Channel strikes again and now a red fog has arrived to engulf Inaba. The plot takes place between two perspectives with slightly alternate events, just like the original Persona 4 Arena. The story is engaging from the beginning, with a good twist in terms of the events that lead up to the characters fighting, and how this all connects to the Midnight Channel. Even though Ultimax swaps perspectives from time to time, there is no more repetition and multiple retelling of the same story with slight alterations. It now presents the story in sequence, without the annoying cliffhangers that plagued the original. You can immediately tell that Ultimax has much better storytelling than the first. ![]() The story is a direct continuation from Arena, taking place literally the next day. As an added bonus, there are "Shadow" versions of nearly all the characters, these Shadow versions have unique abilities which makes up for their lack of Persona moves. ![]() Still, Ultimax boasts 19 "normal" playable characters and is enough to provide a decent variety. Unfortunately, Margaret, Marie and Adachi are only playable via DLC purchases. This time around, there are more playable characters from both the cast of Persona 3 and Persona 4, including Yukari, Rise, Junpei and Ken. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the sequel to the 2012 fighting game, naturally based on Persona 4.
