Yaweee said:But both the Enemy and Forma are lit up, whereas previous screens showed those as two distinct types of scans.
And is that a regular enemy, meaning that random battles aren't actually random, is it a scripted encounter, or are there FOE-type enemies?

OMG look at the awesome background!
In battle. They've done a great job with the 3D environments too though:charlequin said:Huh. I'm actually kind of curious how this works. Where are you seeing these kind of painted backgrounds instead of rendered 3D spaces?

These are all 3D environment screens.
duckroll said:No, it's Bifrons from Soul Hackers.
Yaweee said:All of those backgrounds look awesome. I think it gives a good of how huge the game is going to be (
Is the demon featured in the newest screenshots a new design?
duckroll said:Man, I only just noticed that the demon sprites actually all have shadows, and the shadows animate as well! Pretty awesome detail.

enough time to enjoy the current releases.
Acosta said:And to think I'm going to have to wait for Atlus USA to localizate this
HK-47 said:Who are the demons in the new screenshots?
Also which one is Bifrons in the last batch of shots?
duckroll said:Bifrons is the demon carrying the torch. The demons in the new screen are Inferno from SMT2 and Macabre from Devil Summoner.
Pureauthor said:I wonder how many different environments/dungeons there are.
duckroll said:It's only about a month away.
Hobbun said:Actually, it is a long wait if you are one waiting for localization.
duckroll said:Well considering this thread is "Atlus announces Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (DS)" and not "Atlus USA announces Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (DS)", do you really think I give a fuck?
Volcynika said:Sometimes people aren't specific with the Atlus announcements, even some of the threads about US branch announcements dont have the US/USA tacked on, you didn't put JP at the end of yours!
IM CONFUSED
/not really

Hobbun said:I never said you did, but you quoted someone who obviously is waiting for the NA release, which is a long wait.
duckroll said:You're all wusses, it's going to be 5-6 months after the JP release at most. After all, that's how long it took for them to release Devil Survivor and Persona PSP right? That's nothing compared to the almost TWO YEAR wait for Layton 2.
Hobbun said:Well, if its only 5-6 months, thats not too bad I was thinking it would be almost a year.
duckroll said:- He also confirms that because of the huge amount of save data they're using, they had to choose between having 2 save slots and no quicksave slot, or 1 save slot and 1 quicksave slot. After some deliberation and testing, he found that having 2 save slots is the best option for the player, so he requests that players put up with the lack of quicksave and use the sleep mode on the DS instead.
HK-47 said:I dont know if this was mentioned but will the new transferable demon skills overwrite inheritance rules, like fire moves dont transfer to ice demons and so on?
duckroll said:Gpara's article had one extra screenshot which is brand new!
Gorgon said:A crocodile coming out of what seems like an open cage on the right side of the screen? And on the left side what seems to be the front part of an WW2 airplane?!?
Some weird shit going on in this game, me tells you.
duckroll said:Finally he comments that while there is no quicksave (in particular he's saying there is no "save anywhere" feature, meaning the game uses save points), you will be able to return to the title menu from the pause menu at any time if you need to abandon your current game to load another file instead.
duckroll said:Here's more weirdness:
If they're in another dimension accessed from a void in the south pole, why is there a radioactive barrel in a wasteland?
