The tower is a roguelike, with checkpoints on certain floors and a teleporter at the bottom. Progressing in the tower is completely different from progressing storywise in the game though. Story progresses as you hit story events that occur on certain preset dates on the calander.
If you're an oldschool gamer who has experience with BBS Door games, think of P3 as a very very advanced modern version of LORD, with a shitload of IGMs installed.
Only real dungeon? Yes.
Gameplay-wise it's linked to Persona options. Storywise, it's adds to the theme/atmosphere/character development.
Yes.

The game took me about 51 hours to beat, I didn't use an FAQ/Guide, the game is fairly straightforward, but I'm sure I missed tons of stuff... I realized this after checking some forums/FAQs after beating the game...
I can totally see how some people spend way more time on the game... I was rushing' it a bit lol....
I still stand by this game as my best gaming experience of 2007...

This game looks awesome. Already preordered game and guide, I hope they'll arrive no more than 2-3 days after the 24th here in Italy becuase I just can't wait for it.
@MarkMan: where can I read your review ?

Already got it paid off. Can't wait to play it.
i feel a sick sense of obligation to finish devil summoner before starting this... i actually though my will to resist would be strong, but the urge to play something turn-based grows mightily.
...still not sold on ai teammates though. is letting them explore on their own a good strategy? it seems like splitting the party is just asking for trouble.

Dang, didn't realize this is shipping while I'm out of town. Maybe I can pick it up when I get back.

I'm in Europe but anyway if it ever comes out I want to first know something.
How developed are the sim school parts? I mean is this Bully like where it's only a side part of the game or it's like a true sim game? Like let's say Harvest Moon with all the girls aspect and so on.

Not actually that important
Well, the change in the settings plus nice impressions and this thread definitely sealed the deal for me, thanks!

I am planning on pre-ordering P3 when I go to pick up the strat guide. Unfortunately none of the gamestop/ebgames employees have any clue when the guide will start appearing in stores.
I am going to be going out of town the beginning of next week, so I hope they will arrive on or before Friday.

Not nearly as developed as I'd like to see, but more developed than I was expecting. For example, the summer festival was pretty disappointing: you went to it and had a quick event, where I would have liked the chance to run around and actually do some of the little games they have there. On the other hand, I wasn't expecting to have as many people to "develope" relationships with, and each character that you do such with has an honest to goodness interesting storyline that I always wanted to see how it turned out.
There are some actual school events that take place - such as midterms where you actually have to remember what you've learned throughout the year to answer a couple of test questions. Mostly, though, the game focuses more on the various characters you meet themselves and you getting to know them, and less on, say, the actual events that normally take place at the school. (You can join a club and go to it, for example, but you can't actually do anything at that club.)
I think, for what it tried to do, and what I expected based on previous Persona titles, they really put a lot of time and effort into this game. The downside, though, is now I want a Persona 4 that is WAY more developed and open-ended, and anything less will be a disappointment.
