Persona Q 3DS Game's Yukari, Junpei Character Videos Streamed

Japanese video game publisher Atlus began streaming character introduction videos for Persona 3's Yukari Takeba and Junpei Iori for its upcoming Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Nintendo 3DS game on Friday:

Yukari: Wh-What!?
Yukari: Where is this? No, I mean, in the first place, what is this place? Haven't you been attacked by Shadows?
Yukari: I don't want Junpei to call me cute, anyway.
Yukari: Are you stupid? Also, are you stupid? Also, you're stupid.
Yukari: Since I'm going to be doing this anyway, I want to be of help in battle... But I wonder if that's not enough.
Yukari: I don't just fight to erase the Dark Hour or for other things... I'm fighting for us; I'm fighting for my friends. That's what I want to think...
Yukari: I definitely won't pull back. I'm going to fight for everyone's sake.
Yukari: This is the final blow! This is my special attack! Here we go, Io!
Yukari: I think everyone let me notice... You've got to clash with others, or you'll never understand each other.

Junpei: No. No no no no no! This is bad, right!? This is really bad, right!? What's up with this experience from the mysterious!? Count me out!
Junpei: I'm Junpei Iori, the hero who loves peace in the world
Junpei: Man, my determination sure goes up when there's a crowd of cute girls!
Junpei: Isn't... She beautiful?
Junpei: Kirijo-senpai's rare bashfulness, one more time please!
Junpei: Ow! Stop the slaps too, all right!?
Junpei: How bad do you guys treat me!? I'm going to proclaim my pitiful situation, you know?
Junpei: Like a person! Treat me like a person!
Junpei: I'm the one who said it was for world peace, but if I'm able to save the person who's important to me, then I'll save the world someday, right?
Junpei: To be frank, I'm really strong, too, you know?
Junpei: Leave this one to me! This is the steel of justice! Let's go! Hermes!
Junpei: I think there were times that I ran away from the heaviness of people's problems because I didn't want to set off a landmine.

The story of the new game takes place on the last day of the Yasogami High culture festival. During the event, the heroes of Persona 4 see a strange bell tower appear on the school grounds. The heroes of Persona 3 also hear the bell, and are dragged into the future where the Persona 4 cast awaits. The two groups are locked in the school covered in Shadows, but meet two mysterious individuals named Zen and Rei, who have lost their memories. The cast soon learns that Zen and Rei's lost memories may be the key to solving the mystery of the bell tower's sudden appearance.

Although only one of the silent protagonists can lead the party, players will experience a different story depending on the protagonist they choose. By choosing the Persona 4 hero, players will experience a story more closely involved with the Persona 4 cast and vice versa.

The game will ship in Japan on June 5, 2014.
