So I was hoping to have something exact exact, but we got some good news back today and we're still looking solid for an October release.
I really, really wish there was some easy way for Atlus to open a branch in Europe. I love their games and want to support them as much as I can, but it's difficult without any easy way to do so. The closest we have is NISA, so I hope they stick with them from now on, at least.I do hope that Atlus starts seeing this as a good practice from now on, and this is not just because there was a bit of flack with this specific release.

I would mention Sega since they're publishing P4AU, but I don't know how viable that would be. Hopefully very.
European OT subheading suggestions =P?
I was gonna use
"Shin Megami Tensei IV |EU OT| The True Digital Devil Saga"
Cause you know it has been a crazy journey... =(
Well, a branch is quite an investment, and probably not even a viable given how they often hook up with third parties to publish their games.
But they could for example open a website or blog dedicated to all their European releases, where all Atlus related news (press releases, tweets, ...) is gathered. It would show some more commitment to the Euro market at least.
Such a platform would also be suitable for cases like this, to keep Euro customers updated.
LOL 30th October then. No way this is going to be next week. What a sad trainwreck, but it is 20$ | 20 right? I will buy it then, but I also hope that this won't happen like that in the future again. I like to support this company, but they have to think about us too. SMTIV is already very niche.
Games are released on Thursdays, no?More like October 31st, for Halloween.

I just hope the release date is not the same of Bayonetta 2, I only have time to play one game per day, I would need to stay awake till very late than usual to enjoy both.

I think someone suggested somewhere "Atlus Shrugged", I thought that was amazing.
I don't think they completely don't care about Europe (iirc it was Atlus that made sure P4AU wasn't region locked?) but with their games still being thrown around a few different publishers they don't exactly have a concrete deal in place either.

Or maybe
Shin Megami Tensei IV [EU OT] Even Stranger Journey

edit: it was LayLa in the original announcement thread (now closed). I don't know how to link to the message, sorry, but it's easily found by doing a search.
The P4A region lock had nothing to do with Europe. They region locked it so that Japanese gamers wouldn't import US copies, because the Japanese and American release was at around the same time. At that point a Euro release probably wasn't even an issue.
So Europe wasn't even taken into consideration, just as it wasn't with the omission of a region lock on P4AU.

Great, but they missed the boat for me. The SD slot in my 3DS died this week, so it's going to have to wait for the EU release of the new 3DS.
And by then I'll probably have forgotten about this game.
It has to.. HAS TO be "Shin Megami Tensei IV |EU OT| Atlus Shrugged".
Congrats Europe. Your long nightmare is finally at its end!
Do we know price and size?
