I bought like 6-7 Vita games from June-Nov. last year, but since FE:A came out i've pretty much not looked at my Vita (I barely touched my 3DS after KHDDD/Harvest Moon till then).
However, I will buy Totori+ in a week or so (need that swimsuit DLC).

First of all, it's a bit pricey at 50 bucks, but I'll pay it. I would have paid 60 for it. I wasn't 100% convinced this was even going to be localized, so I'm happy.
Secondly, people didn't love Devil Surivor's artwork?

confirmed like ages ago when Atlus announced this joint's on the 3DS.
Just preordered Soul Hackers. I'm loving Etrian Odyssey IV and that is essentially my first dungeon crawler, so I don't see why I shouldn't try out one of the best games in the SMT series. Although, I'm 100% positive I won't be finished with Etrian Odyssey by the time Soul Hackers arrives, lol

I have a theory he's behind more than we think, although I may just be letting hope do my thinking for me.
You may need to sit down for this...
Ew. After P3P Hashino made it clear he doesn't intend to neuter a game that way again.
Thanks guys. I'll look into Overclocked and Soul Hackers and see which one looks more appealing.

It would look damn good on the Vita.
Also, both Overclocked and Soul Hackers are good tastes of SMT, but Soul Hackers is easier(seriously), and has a better(re: more unique) story, arguably.
I keep imaging her saying "Live Long and Prosper"Girl needs to stop cutting her own hair; ears are too big to pull that off, ffs.

It's funny cause I played all FES and didn't like it that much, then played P3P and loved it(Female MC, everything was faster, and control of my fucking party)
Soul Hackers is easier than DS:O? That's kinda mindblowing.
Since DS:O is pretty easy. and DS2 even more so.
yeh I agree 100%. I loved both but I'll never replay FES again. Point and click > pointlessly running around. Oh and FeMC. Mentioning her is like an insta win for P3P.

It's still not EASY, but it doesn't have the strict SRPG format weighing you down. Soul Hackers has a few painful bosses, but overall it's not that bad.
I expect some broken 3DSes when everyone gets to

Friendly reminder of how boss SMTIV's design is:
Someone posed a theory that 1492 in SMTIV isn't
the past, but the future, post-apocalypse
But then why would there be samurai and everyone using swords...
Or maybe they all realized that they're in a JRPG and there isn't much difference between swords and guns in power
Though even then guns would likely be easier to get.But then why would there be samurai and everyone using swords...

Because swords are cool. Or maybe they ran out of gunpowder.

Exactly. Machines are relics of the past now.
And as the Zombie Survival Guide teaches, you don't have to reload a machete.

Going to go all in and just preorder Soul Hackers and SMT IV. Will probably hold me over on RPGs for the rest of the year.

Smiling Fumi avatar is frowning now.I'm surprised. All of my friends really liked the artwork. So did I. Oh well. To each their own, I thought it was really different and cool.

I like the character concepts, but the artist wears his love for certain things on his sleeve, that's for sure.
Jungo is awesome, regardless.
Hi.
CJ is ;P
The majority is done by Meguro and Toshiko Tasaki (who also did Devil Summoner 1 and some contributions to Nocturne--she's awesome). Series veteran Tsukasa Masuko, who did the originals, contributes the game's awesome boss battle themes.
EDIT: Whoops, saw an "S" in there when it wasn't. But now you know anyway.

Pretty sure he means OT, as in the official thread which gets posted a week before release.
It's nice to know that, regardless. There's a lot of cooks in SH's kitchen. (Where did Tasaki go, anyway?)
Cool, will be there front and center.

Preordered. Now, are there any other upcoming Shin Megami games I need to preorder aside from Soul Hackers? (Which is already good to go) I feel like I'm forgetting something.

People hating Devil Survivors' art?
Goddamn blasphemers!

How can anyone hate on this:

Too bad the game itself seem hellbent on pairing the MC with that other, non-best girl.
Devil Survior 2 : Code Breaker, which doesn't have a US date yet.

That was probably it. Thanks.
She lists herself as being at Acquire. Her most recent new credit (as far as soundtrack releases go anyway) is that weird PSP game Akiba's Trip.

Soul Hackers is much harder than Persona 3 and 4, but they're easy games.
It's not as hard as Persona 2 EP, harder than IS and Persona 1 for sure.
I'd say the hardest SMT game, personally, is either EP or Nocturne. SJ is no slouch either.
Raidou 1 devil mode is absolutely insane.

Nocturne was easy mode on Normal
Unless you have Masakados equipped, you could still easily die in the final dungeon if the AI hates you. That's pretty much impossible if you max out the MC in P3/4.

I'm kind of early in SJ (Sector D) but I didn't found it that difficult yet...
But I am also overleveled (rising demons is fun)

With no Japanese knowledge and a FAQ at my side I cleared the Saturn version at around 45 hours.
Keep in mind the 3DS version has more content, though.
