Atlus has announced that MAPPA will produce all the in-game animated cutscenes for Persona 4 Revival. This announcement was made during Anime Expo, which also highlighted Rise Kujikawa’s English performance, portrayed by Abby Trott in this release. Storyboards for MAPPA’s work in this release were also shared.
The broadcast also revealed a world premiere of in-game footage produced by MAPPA, featuring an early game sequence in which the protagonist first awakens his Persona.
Throughout Persona 4, the protagonist and the rest of the party, known as the Investigation Team, unite to catch a serial killer who is throwing their victims into a bizarre world accessible only through televisions.
A new element is guarding against attacks on the field, letting you strike Shadows as they flinch, resulting in a preemptive strike. Shadows afflicted with a status ailment can be sent flying, spreading that ailment to nearby foes. Baton Pass lets party members pass turns to one another, a feature carried over from Persona 5 and Persona 3 Reload.
Prime Time is a new gauge that attacks foes with relentless attacks, dropping all skill costs to zero. Prime Time Finish concludes the state, dealing massive damage. It has also been noted that all voices in the game have been re-recorded, even minor events. Plus, there will be new songs, including the opening theme and battle music. More information about the soundtrack will be shared in the future.
