I Love Seeing the Persona 3 Characters All Grown Up

While it has “Persona 4” in the title, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is really a sequel to Persona 3 as much as Persona 4—especially as Ultimax now includes every member of the Persona 3 main cast we are likely to get. [Spoiler Note: All the information in this article and the included videos are from…
