Has any city been destroyed as many times as Tokyo in media? Poor city.
New York?
I guess I need to see character enemy designs rather than environments.

Well this is interesting. Game takes place in a post apocalyptic Tokyo and a midevil Europe? Maybe you flip back and forth in time? Something happens in the past which affects the present? Either way this could offer some diversity in environments and gameplay.
Need to see their faces dammit, must confirm Kaneko eyes.
Happy to see Ginza shot as well.
Godzilla started it first. That bastard.
i don't care if this is on the atari 2600, just hook it up to my veeiiiinssss
ah, no bright solid colors. gtfo persona!!! yes!
Well that's it, then. I have to buy a 3DS.
The finality of it feels good, really.
Then the demons killed Godzilla.
Then I was confused by your original post; it sounds like you *are* advocating that they should go multiplatform or stick to a single platform for their entire output after all, rather than simply a move for the benefit of the RPG fanbase alone. Sorry!
It was the Tales comment that threw me, because you seemed to be equating the plans for a company that worked on a variety of different projects to the plans for a single RPG franchise. Wouldn't it be more correct to have referred to 'Namco' there, not 'Tales'?
Oh, come on. You don't think Catherine, Persona 2, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Arena, and Megaten 4 are targeted at the same fanbase? That's 4 platforms you need to own.
Put a little zoom on it and those medieval castley looking things appear to be Skyscrapers.
Definitely a medieval style wall around the city.

I'm only counting 3 (._.)
Catherine/Persona 4 Arena - PS3/360
Persona 2 - PSP
Persona 4 Golden - Vita
Megaten 4 - 3DS
I assumed you lapped Persona 2 with the Vita?
The surrounding bare countryside would be pretty weird to have around a modern walled city. Though I can definitely see that that either looks like skyscrapers or big medieval keeps.
I'm pretty sure the first image is also Tokyo. Look within the walled city and you'll see skyscrapers. Definitely post-apocalypse.
I'm fairly confident in saying that in Japan at least, SMT4 is definitely not targeted at the same fanbase as modern Persona and Catherine. That just leaves 2 systems. One console, one portable.

Wouldn't Tokyo be a coastal city though?

I was viewing it as particularly blocky keeps, but they could easily be skyscrapers, you're right.
The church in the foreground is still a bit on the odd side, though.
I'm curious about what battle system they'll use. Since EO4 looks like more of the same I kind of wish Daisuke Kanada was directing this so we could get a new Press Turn.
Sadly, Atlus' platform of choice means that I will most likely skip this iteration of my beloved RPG series.
It's not that I don't enjoy playing handhelds. It's that when I game, it's gonna be at home - on my rig, or on my HDTV. When I leave my home, it's with the intention of doing something, like hanging out with friends, going bowling, hitting up a university club, working a job, etc. I don't vacation enough to make it worth bus or plane rides.
Why would I want to squint at two tiny screens when there are plenty of other games that meet my gaming desires? It still makes me extremely sad, as this is my all-time favorite RPG series.
Well, it looks like the walls and the church were probably built in the new era, which has reduced to nature + stone buildings, etc. What is possible is that what was left of the old Tokyo is walled up and protected as a fortress of a particular faction?
I wonder, they might have decided to explore different angles for an apocalypse with each game, with 1 (and a lesser extent 2) being about living in the near-immediate aftermath, 3 and Strange Journey exploring fully supernatural ones in different ways, and this going back to SMT1/2's more traditional apocalypse BUT fast forwarding several hundred years. Reminds me of a Dying Earth setting vaguely (which would be a setting I'd REALLY like to see explored with an RPG), but if that's the case then I don't think it's inherently continuing off of an SMT3 ending. Then again I guess the Yosuga reason could result in a rebuilt world immediately nuking itself.I think one big possibility is that SMT4 might actually take place -after- SMT3, just like SMT2 took place after SMT1. Remember how most of the endings of SMT3 ended...
Reminds me of SMT2
I just hope the success of Persona 3/4 doesn't cause Atlus to wimp out with this game. I want a dark, unhappy RPG. I want Matador 2.0. I want more bosses who wear people's faces.
If they try and make it a little more lighthearted or try to appeal to the West, now that they've found success here... well, that's going to be a huge disappointment.

One thing that always worries me when I see one huge castle as part of the promo, I have a loud siren that goes off in my head that tell me" Dungeon Crawler, STAY AWAY".
I hope I am wrong tho.

Does Tokyo even have a similar geography to the city in that picture?
