Give both you can toggle between or it's kind of bullshit. Though I guess recent releases have kinda given the impression that if you're going sub-only it's because you're trying to save a buck, even if the licenses could kill that in some cases.

EDIT: Actually, don't forget we ARE on a 3DS cart, there may simply be no space for both voice tracks. it was only with blu-ray that moved from "It'd sure be nice to have" to "we should probably start making it clear we want this as standard when possible."

 

[Fisico]

They must be releasing the game early because by the end of the year they have scheduled Persona 5

/believe

But dont misunderstand me, I want both of those games, I'm just a PAL gamer

 

[serplux]

I want to see this as a preparation for SMT x FE's winter release date .

On another note I'm a really happy 3DS owner right now. Lots of RPGs to play and Mario&Luigi 4 is also coming soon.

Rune Factory 4 is coming this summer as well. Pokemon will be in October, and hopefully we'll get Dragon Quest VII/Bravely Default/Terry's Wonderland sometime soon.

They won't. Accept it now.

 

[MikeDip]

Hell yeah, Soul Hackers in april, and SMT4 in Summer. Excellent.

Spoiler

Please bring over the SMT4 3DSXL

 

[Rootbeer]

Looks like I'll be playing my first SMT game!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Awesome! (^___^)

 

[Man God]

Rune Factory 4 is coming this summer as well. Pokemon will be in October, and hopefully we'll get Dragon Quest VII/Bravely Default/Terry's Wonderland sometime soon.

I'm betting we get BD by November, DQ VII next year as a surprise, and Terry's Wonderland NEVER.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Woah, so soon and unexpected. I thought we'd get it next summer!

Cool!

 

[Busaiku]

You know, maybe the price hike means that they actually do consider Etrian Odssey IV's performance to be subpar, even given their size and the nature of the game.

 

[faridmon]

Summer 2018 for Europe. Including game-breaking bugs.

Fixed

 

[Eusis]

I'm betting we get BD by November, DQ VII next year as a surprise, and Terry's Wonderland NEVER.

And Rocket Slime as an experimental download title. Just to make it more absurd the Monster game got skipped over.

Ugh, don't remind me that we never got Rocket Slime 3DS.

Unexpectedly fast! I hope it's not really going to be 50 bucks... I'll probably buy it regardless but...

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Fucking amaaaaazing. Please let it be on June/July!

 

[Eusis]

Rocket Slime actually DOES seem like a shoe-in for digital-only release if they were willing to do that much for fans/building up interest for DQVII or X at least. The one we got was a pretty short game and its longevity was in the tank battles, and it's probably relatively text light compared to the proper RPG installments (including Monster) anyway.

 

[Artemisia]

Fucking amaaaaazing. Please let it be on June/July!

Yes. I don't want no late August, 'technically' summer release. I want the game in the thick of the summer holidays.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

In stead of complaining about being a European user, I'm going to do something useful and import an american 3DS as soon as this gets released.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Is Rocket Slime Japan-only at the moment?

We need that, Bravely Default, and DQvii!

 

[Eusis]

I'm not seriously expecting we'll ever see Rocket Slime, as much as I think the DD route would be great, but I do hope to see Bravely Default and DQVII at least.

 

[MrT-Tar]

Meanwhile in PAL land:

 

[liger05]

Nintendo should just publish it in Europe.

 

[TEJ]

50 dollars for this is a paltry sum

this to me is what shenmue 3 would be to shenmue fans, shining force 4 to shining force fans, etc etc etc

besides, we'll probably get a ton of goodies with it.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I don't buy AAA games for more than 20-30 bucks(gonna wait a while for infinite lol)




I'd pay 100 bucks for SMT4, I hope it keeps the japanese cover art

 

[ColossalLazy]

So bought. I wonder if I will have finished Soul Hackers by the time it arrives.

 

[Lulubop]

Now that I have a 3ds, I can say day 1.

 

[AtomskEater]

$50?! It better come with a functioning replica of the gauntlet at that price!

Spoiler

Just kidding Atlus, I'll buy it.

 

[vareon]

The box art preview on the website seems to indicate so, even if it is temporary.

 

[daripad]

Oh snap, didn't see this coming too soon, now my wallet will be ruined in summer because I have a huge backlog of games to buy from the first quarter and now they're filling the next two quarters with more games. Can't hold all those 3DS titles!

 

[jbueno]

Yes sir, I'll be there day one. Love what I've seen and heard, that Main Theme is something else.

 

[Nags]

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAA!

Yessssssss.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Year of the 3DS.

 

[marc^o^]

Is it somehow related to the Persona series?

 

[Sophia]

Is it somehow related to the Persona series?

This is the mainline Shin Megami Tensei franchise, of which the Persona series is a spinoff of.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Is it somehow related to the Persona series?

Persona is the more popular spin-off series of SMT.

 

[Nags]

8-4 play joint?

I doubt it. Besides, Atlus translators are way better.

 

[Dantis]

This is the mainline Shin Megami Tensei franchise, of which the Persona series is a spinoff of.

But to answer the question, no.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I adore mainline SMT. Probably my second overall favorite series.

No more dating sims, thanks.

 

[Sophia]

But to answer the question, no.

I prefer an accurate, helpful answer instead of a Mathematician's Answer. =p

 

[NEO0MJ]

This is the mainline Shin Megami Tensei franchise, of which the Persona series is a spinoff of.

It's pretty amazing how a spin-off eclipsed the original to a degree that people have to ask what the original is.

 

[The Mana Legend]

It's pretty amazing how a spin-off eclipsed the original to a degree that people have to ask what the original is.

A high school dating sim is bound to be more popular in Japan than a dark and disturbed demon penis simulator.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It's pretty amazing how a spin-off eclipsed the original to a degree that people have to ask what the original is.

The original hasn't seen a release since 2003, you can't blame people for not remembering at this point.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The original hasn't seen a release since 2003, you can't blame people for not remembering at this point.

Still, you never heard much of the entire SMT series back then, when Persona is now pretty much the face of the company.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens.

Am I doing it wrong?

 

[Sophia]

The original hasn't seen a release since 2003, you can't blame people for not remembering at this point.

Actually 2009. Strange Journey is considered a mainline release, it's just not numbered.

Poor Strange Journey gets so ignored.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Strange Journey is amazing, yet it gets so much shit or is ignored completely.

 

[ULTROS!]

The original hasn't seen a release since 2003, you can't blame people for not remembering at this point.

Even then, the Persona series hasn't picked up until Persona 3. SMT3 should have at least picked up back then.

I'm guessing it really has to do with accessibility.

 

[Squire]

Gameplay-wise, yes, but the premise as well. You'll probably dig P3 and definitely P4 if you've ever enjoyed a high-school based anime.

Atlus never has dual-language. They also have the best localizations of Japanese games I've seen for the most part so I don't mind.
