A bit of an odd question but is there an option to mute voice overs and do you need to pay attention to the cutscenes and dialogue to know where to go?
Also does the game have something similar to Strange Journey where you can tweak your alignment through a repeatable quest?
Hard saves or temp saves?

Oh yesssshh.
Now I'm hyped.
I got to 2nd Fire Emblem Awakening DLC before I got annoyed by it, I guess mostly because of how lazy it was and how overpowered I was by the time it came out, hope this is better, been keeping in the dark about this game.
Looking forward to this game. Also curious to hear about this upcoming NA eShop deal with Fire Emblem: Awakening. (As far as I can tell, buy both get $30 back in credit, no press release on this yet)
(And yes, my 3DS is now charged!)
This devious deal (if it works how I assume/hope it will) is what's going to make me give in and purchase AA5 through the eShop. I was planning on avoiding it, at least temporarily, since I hate Nintendo's DD system, but if $30 of eShop spending money gets thrown at me just for buying games I wanted, I'm not sure there's much I can do but cave.
On topic, I can't wait for SMT IV. I've been hungry for more since finishing Strange Journey. It seems so long ago, now.
Yeah this is how it was for me, I got really into it for a few hours and I kind of force myself through an hour at a time on occasion but I'm not really motivated to go through it. I will go back to it one day though. I gave up on it a few weeks ago thinking I didn't want to burn myself out on dungeon crawlers in time for SMT4.
I also put off EO4 when Soul Hackers came out for the same reason, so I need to eventually get to EO4 as well.

Good lookin' OT. Still battling with myself on picking it up at launch. That price... :|
Doesn't sound much better. So far the Japanese DLC have been nickel and dime shit like 2 buck costumes and 3 buck "quests" which either involve exp/ap/macca farming drops, or special boss fights which unlock extra demon fusions. Typical Japanese RPG DLC.

I have to wonder why the characters have western names. Is that a localization thing?

I suppose I should have expected something along those lines. Oh well, I can just ignore it then. If they do have one that is some kind of proper story addition then I may go for it.
Absolutely hate these types of schedules, especially when the most important is saved for last.
Same thing happened with the FE dlc - by the time the (very good) story dlc came out as the last release, I was long done with the game ｜`Д´|

No, they're like that in the Japanese version. Mikado's a medieval culture.

If I get $30 on the eShop for FE:A and this I might think about the extra boss DLC.
If you want the first print bonuses, get it sooner rather than later since presumably they'll stop including those eventually.
I would recommend getting it at launch purely for the first edition bonuses, it will still be $50 later but without the cool extra shit.
Nice to see many coming over from Project x Zone. Day 1.
This isn't your kind of game I think

Not a bad deal karma. I had zero monies around E3, so that might explain it.
I'm wondering if I should buy Soul Hackers for now and wait on SMT4, maybe get a good deal on it down the road...
But it's SMT4!

It has begun.
I'm going to do my best to finish Soul Hackers before this drops.
I'd wait for SMTIV and pick up Soul Hackers later.

Very important question: is the audio balance better in this than Soul Hackers? Because you can barely hear a thing in Soul Hackers.

I'm getting more excited for this every day. It's going to be soo great.

So JapanGaf, do the voiceovers / cinematics have subtitles ?
Pretty please Atlus, think about my shaky oral perception of English for once...
Not holding much hope, every fucking Persona game I played was pure voice ( ´°_°)
So much fun to watch a plot heavy movie while understanding maybe 1/3.

register FEA and SMT IV on club nintendo and you get 30 bucks of eshop money.
Deal was leaked early and got removed. Probably saving it for next week when SMTIV is out
Edit : apparently it has to be eshop purchases though which i guess heals the wounds of not getting the physical copy extras

Damnit, for some reason I spent my money on cube world (which is pretty bland) and now I don't have enough saved for this because I forgot. What the hell is wrong with me!?!?
Go up a few more posts.
Can't do it since I'm using the pos PS3 browser. Free 30 bucks so I can use that to buy those DLC + convenience for FEA and SMTIV. That sounds good to me.
