I haven't played a SMT game yet but I am looking forward to this! Love RPGs on handhelds!

 

[Kyari]

Shame europe will never get this. Ever.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I really feel that a world map is a bigger deal in terms of presentation than most people think, with regards to a numbered SMT. There's a clear evolution, and SMT4 should follow suit to meet expectations.

So expect 3D to be used in an interesting way for the world map?

 

[Bebpo]

It's kind of a shame they didn't port Nocturne to 3DS to prep for this. Would dig SMT3 on a handheld.

I just hope they ditch the stupid little icon thingy. Actual animations for the world map or bust! ><;

 

[Femmeworth]

Nope. That's reserved for Shin Megami Tensei IV SPARKING.

DLC or bust.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Yeah, if they're going in, they better go in hard.

I hope Kaneko's on board.

SJ was great, but it was a spiritual successor to 1&2. This has a lot riding on it.

 

[MechaX]

... Welp, time to save up for a 3DS.

Seriously, maybe people were most disappointed by Strange Journey being on a handheld, or it going back to first person, but I was most disappointed at how there wasn't a map to explore.

If Ghostlight can bring Devil Survivor Overclocked and 2, surely they can bring a main entry in the serie.

 

[duckroll]

Kaneko can't not be on board. If he's not on board, they wouldn't call it SMT.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

I hope it has an easy mode for fans like me that only busted chops on Persona titles.

....What?

That armored one piece. Those strong, tattooed thighs.

HD versions of the other personae as well, of course.

 

[Aeana]

Kaneko can't not be on board. If he's not on board, they wouldn't call it SMT.

If he's not on board then what the hell is he doing anyway

 

[Bebpo]

Kaneko can't not be on board. If he's not on board, they wouldn't call it SMT.

And it's not like he has any other jobs ;_;

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

Well that's it, then. I have to buy a 3DS.

The finality of it feels good, really.

Im thinking the same way

 

[Karsticles]

:-D

This made my day.

 

[Sophia]

I just realized this means we get 3D Mara.....

 

[shintoki]

This is what I've been waiting. Looks like I'm going have to pick up the 3DS now.

 

[cj_iwakura]

If he's not on board then what the hell is he doing anyway

Word is that he's no longer employed with Atlus, he works in a freelance capacity.

Pipe dream territory: they got Cozy Okada involved.

 

[matmanx1]

Well this is certainly fantastic news. I've never actually completed an SMT game (Persona games don't count right?) but Strange Journey and Digital Devil Saga were both pretty awesome. 3DS continues to be on fire!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

And it's not like he has any other jobs ;_;

I never did quite get how he could do work for other companies yet remain an Atlus employee. Loaner program?

 

[Aeana]

I just realized this means we get 3D Mara.....

Hopefully real Mara, and not SMT3 failed experiment blob Mara.

 

[Femmeworth]

If he's not on board then what the hell is he doing anyway

He's finally fulfilling his dream of being a fashion designer.

 

[Sophia]

Hopefully real Mara, and not SMT3 failed experiment blob Mara.

Being part of a highly religious town, I get to explain to people why I have a giant 3d penis on my video game system. o_o

 

[Easy_D]

I just realized this means we get 3D Mara.....

Shin Megami Tensei 4 |OT| Dicks in yo' face!

 

[duckroll]

Errr word from where?

 

[Femmeworth]

They wouldn't be concerned about you summoning demons?

 

[bakedpony]

Since Nocturne was basically prepping you to be Lucifer's main man, I hope this time around you get to be YHVH's. Of course you can still choose other paths but it should be the "true" path. Kinda like the True Demon Ending with the Amala Network. I think it's time we get to see the other side.

Then on SMT5, the MC's from SMT3 and SMT4 go face to face!!! SMT5 MC gets to choose which side to ally himself

 

[encephalon]

This is the last straw. Replacing my 3DS with a Japanese one. I hope it's not 1st person.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Being part of a highly religious town, I get to explain to people why I have a giant 3d penis on my video game system. o_o

Because it's fucking AWESOME, that's why.

Also, I think a 3D world map for 4 would be sweet. Just thinking about it is starting to get me jazzed.

Anybody have any guesses as to when they think this is going to hit Japanese shelves?

 

[SpaceBridge]

Screw that, we're fighting it! >_>

Holy crap. such a great battle theme. Was that Meguro?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Also, it has to be said, Index have to be the best parent company ever.

Nothing's changed at all, we're getting everything we ever dreamed.

Errr word from where?

Someone either here or at another board, last thing he did since SJ was a graphic novel, I heard.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Wow, this thread's a nice surprise! Only a little disappointed it's not for PS3, but hey, my 3DS needs some love too.

 

[NichM]

Errr word from where?

The voices CJ receives from Venus.

 

[Sophia]

Holy crap. such a great battle theme. Was that Meguro?

Meguro didn't do the original, I have no idea if he did the remixed theme for the PS1 versions however.

They wouldn't be concerned about you summoning demons?

C'mon, whadda think they're going to see first?

 

[Despera]

Holy crap. such a great battle theme. Was that Meguro?

It's Tsukasa Masuko actually.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Wow, this thread's a nice surprise! Only a little disappointed it's not for PS3, but hey, my 3DS needs some love too.

I never saw this one going on to PS3/360, though I am curious what they end up using the engine they did for Catherine on next.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

This post depresses me.

Sheesh, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Look, nothing is set in stone - all that really matters is that Atlus succeeds in their endeavors.

 

[Femmeworth]

The voices CJ receives from Venus.

"Venus" rhymes with "penis."

His source is Mara!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Compared to SJ? That's a lot.

SJ actually had a lot of interesting characters, if you count the crew.

There's just so little(If any) art outside of their sprites(which are quite nice).

 

[The Incarnation]

Shame europe will never get this. Ever.

We've all of them so far apart from the first two snes games. 100% certain to get this.

 

[toddhunter]

So many questions.... But so many potentially great answers

We've all of them so far apart from the first two snes games. 100% certain to get this.

More a problem of when, not if.

 

[Tenbatsu]

OMG

 

[Jinfash]

This is huge. Finally.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Unexpected choice of platform, but still happy about the game. And what happened to the look of Andriasang?..

Weird that the only system that's absolutely dominating in Japan is still considered unexpected choice of platform.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

We've all of them so far apart from the first two snes games. 100% certain to get this.

I'm guessing the concern is more if Euroland gets a timely localization or not rather than whether it will get one at all.

 

[rpmurphy]

Beyond the Labyrinth?

Is that really the only one out so far? There's been a bunch announced, I thought at least a couple of them were out already. >_>

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Wow at the great amount of people that are seriously considering getting a 3DS for this game. I tried to get into the first game but it wasn't my thing (specially the tactic sections, ugh). Either way, it's great to see that this requested and popular franchise will be a system seller for many. Let's hope it gets released worlwide.

 

[duckroll]

Someone either here or at another board, last thing he did since SJ was a graphic novel, I heard.

Nah, the last thing he did was this:

What? No.
