I see tension, guard bar and a burst option. This has me so hyped since there hasn't been a new Guilty Gear in a long time. And it looks like characters will be able to choose their personas? Kind of like choosing an arcana in Arcana Hearts.
Where's Akanbe-? I want to know what he thinks about all this.
I would be concerned if ASW wasn't doing this. Animu fighters can sometimes be a bit generic if done wrong, but ASW (makers of Guilty Gear and Blazblue for those who don't follow) can put out something series fans will really enjoy. Since it has Persona AND made by ASW, I'll definitely be keeping tabs on it. Too early to say anything else, but I'm pretty interested to see where it goes.
Edit: I like that it's going into arcades. Arcade cabinets are a fairly significant investment these days with the new technology which means that they will probably be shooting for a fun, balanced game and not just some fanservice fluff.
Hopefully this fixes your problem, Yoda.

Nice find. It looks pretty interesting. Definitely curious how the personas will come into play.
There's just two things that bother me a little; DLC and revisions.
Depends on how much they want to support it. Since it's based from a game and not it's own series like Guilty Gear or Blazblue, DLC of some sort like characters or persona is probably inevitable and any revisions will most likely be DLC. Arcade cabinets can be updated with DLC and that's how Blazblue is being handled in Japan by the same company. It's pretty safe to say if they even do anything to it at all, it'll be DLC.
