Each character is getting additional forms, complete with swaps of their Personae, that are likely to be unlockable as per usual Arc System's works standard. You want Chidori on your team? Done. You hate Teddie? Replace him with Jack Frost, hi ho!

So not having a Vita is no reason to not be psyched about Persona, especially since we know that P5 is currently in development for the PS3.
