So who's ready for 7 weeks of post-release DLC?! I think the final (?) DLC for the JP release hits this week. Sounds like it might be some sort of story DLC.

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?

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.

My first core SMT game. I hope I like it. Soul Hackers started off well but got kind of dry... I've set it aside for a couple of months. I'd like to finish it but it just never really hooked me in.

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.

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. :(

Should have moved to Canada and got it through the E3 deals. Only $33 (if you bought 2 other games). :p

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´|

Shitshitshitshit still have to finish Soul Hackers! (plus a bunch of other games in my backog)

Because this is a mainline SMT game should I be more optimistic if I wait a bit to get a copy, or should I just pick one up even if I might not be able to get to it for a long time?

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.

Judging from all the impressions about the early part of the game, should we expect ten pages of "I died X times" when the game is out :P ?

Been putting off buying FEA digitally so liek Nintendo must have been reading mah mind. Gonna be another AC situation where I play with the digital copy while SMTIV retail is there looking all nice and sexy on the side.

Not a bad deal karma. I had zero monies around E3, so that might explain it. :p

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!

I'd wait for SMTIV and pick up Soul Hackers later.

Strange Journey had some sequences where the map wasn't traced because you're wandering in darkness, but 95% of the game is automatically mapped on the bottom screen

Edit : apparently it has to be eshop purchases though which i guess heals the wounds of not getting the physical copy extras

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.
