Persona Q is a first-person dungeon crawling RPG adventure that combines the casts of the hit ATLUS games Persona 3 and Persona 4 in a brand new story. Not only is Persona Q the first new RPG in the Persona franchise since 2008, but it is also marks the first time a Persona game will release on a Nintendo platform. The Persona development team joined forces with the Etrian Odyssey development team to create a true fusion of the two franchises - Persona Q features the map-making and first person exploration from Etrian games and fuses it with the character development, combat, and motifs of the Persona games. Persona Q will be available at retail stores in normal and premium editions:

Don't be deceived by his tiny physique, because Ken has some powerful spells up his sleeves. His Persona, Nemesis, has a versatile set of spells, relying on lightning based attacks and instant-kill light attacks. He also gets access to Recarm early for reviving his fallen allies. His spells and spear can both hit from the back row, so that's where you'll want to keep him... you can't cast Recarm when he's knocked out, after all. Since casting is his bread and butter, matching Ken with a magic-heavy sub-Persona that can add additional elements to his arsenal is a good strategy, or finding a good healing Persona to turn him into more of a utility back-liner.
You don't get the title "Detective Prince" by being a crappy shot. Naoto's revolver brings the heat from the back line with powerful ranged attacks, complimented by both the light and dark instant kill spells, Hama and Mudo. Though Hama and Mudo are always risky, her Persona Sukuna-Hikona having one of the highest base luck stats will tip chances in your favor. Like Ken, a good caster sub-Persona is key to unlocking Naoto's spell-dependent attacks, especially when she unlocks Megido, a powerful almighty spell.
