Persona 4 Arena is a fighting game made by the team who worked on the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series. It later got a sequel named Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.

Notable for being one of the very few region locked games on PS3, which didn't exactly go over well when combined with an extremely delayed European release.

Unused Audio

Rip the remaining unused character voice clips.

Announcer

Hmmm...
To do:
There's more.

Present in the Gallery Mode of the game are unused audio clips for the announcer.

Speech Sound Effect Description
"Yu Narukami"
Originally, the announcer would refer all playable characters by their full names, however in the final version they go unused because he refers to the characters by their first names.
"Yosuke Hanamura"
"Chie Satonaka"
"Yukiko Amagi"
"Kanji Tatsumi"
"Naoto Shirogane"
"Mitsuru Kirijo"
"Akihiko Sanada"

The announcer also has alternate names for each character as well.

Speech Sound Effect Description

Unlike other characters who were originally going to have the full name announcements, each character also have an alternate name. Aigis has two alternate names, referring by her English and Japanese names, while Teddie only refers to his Japanese name.
