Not sure about this. Since DQX is on Wii, JRPG will soon follow suit.

Even if we accept your logic that the smallest of announcements that DQX will eventually make it to the Wii will lead to increased JRPGs on the platform, that doesn't mean JRPG sales will increase in the immediate future ;)

My guess is that it'll have the big reveal in next week's Famitsu, timed as close as possible to the website reveal too.

I just think that while these teaser sites are all the rage these days, they're not usually used for the biggest of possible reveals. That's why I'm skeptical it could be Shin Megami Tensei 4 that this is for. I know people are going to let the hype go wild and expect that, but... it just doesn't seem likely that they'd announce it this way. Then people are going to go and get pissed when it turns out to be something else.

I think it should be similar to the Raidou 2 announcement.

For a while there, Atlus announced games by letting people find releases appearing on random sites. I'm pretty sure they realize with them it doesn't matter how it's revealed.

Persona would be cool but i really want a new SMT.

PS360 guarantees drastically updated monster designs. They've been using the same designs since SMT3. Can't wait to see what Kaneko can pull off on current gen hardware.

Atlus's RPGs are not going to follow anything onto the Wii. They've already been staffing up for the PS360, they're developing games for the PS360, and once they get one major game in place (again, hopefully SMT4! and hopefully soon), the rest will all follow.

Let that little dream die.

I thought Atlus only mentioned 360 development. I don't remember anything about them mentioning ps3 development...

The DS was becoming 'the" RPG platform before DQIX was announced and of all the RPG developers out there, Atlus is the least effected by whatever DQ does.

Actually I think the whole "wherever Dragon Quest goes, so goes all JRPGs" idea is highly overrated as the same reason why DQ appears on a system in the first place is the same reason why all those JRPGs are developed for it.

This logic needs to end.
Besides, FF3 was announced for DS before the hardware even came out, so you are way wrong on every front.
Just saying.

2005? Whatever that was, if it was even accurate, is unlikely to be related to this or any current projects.

Not that I'm saying SMT or whatever isn't going to PS3, but that certainly is not evidence of such. Or are we also suppose to expect that the 2004 announcement of a DS SMT game was actually the 2009 Devil Survivor?

Maybe this teaser is for SMT DS ;o

My guess is that it's a new spinoff. I'd love for it to be SMT4. But the text makes references to soldiers, nations, investigative units - all elements of human society. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think if this was for SMT4 the text would be more like that of Nocturne's intro and focus on demonic/occult elements.

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
SMT1 featured soldiers/nations/leaders etc.. etc.., It's not like SMT hasn't dealt with that yet.

SMT (main series) is always about a post-apocalyptic world, and the teaser features a world ending event of some sort. Sure, it could be something else... But I'm putting my bet on SMT4.

Wouldn't be surprised if they announce a game that's co-op in nature. That seems where all rgps are going these days.

You shut your mouth. >:| Co-op already ruined Resdient Evil, I don't need it ruining another franchise.

Well, my number one hope here would be that this is, finally, Shin Megami Tensei 4, though I'm kind of skeptical that Atlus would do a kind of teaser site lead-in like this for that... it's much too major a reveal. Failing that, I wouldn't mind a new SMT: DS game that uses EO's first-person dungeon engine and Devil Survivor's demon sprites and fusion system.

I really don't want a new Persona game, but thankfully it doesn't seem like this fits with that series, either (and just like SMT4, I doubt Atlus would announce P5 like this).
Click to expand...
The more I think about it, the more I think this is a new SMT spinoff. Probably some other portable series on DS or maybe PSP.

Yeah, Atlus doesn't really do co-op, especially in SMT games. Usually a byproduct of killing almost all the other humans.

If it's co-op then it'll just be another spinoff. It's not like it'd be the first time they've made a spinoff that's inspired by another series. The Devil Children series was inspired by Pokemon.

Do all of the Japanese releases in the series have the Shin Megami Tensei name like their western counterparts? If that's the case I don't expect this to be Shin Megami Tensei 4, even though it's about damned time it came out.

No. The Personas don't have Shin Megami Tensei in the names in Japan.

No, they don't. That's something that Atlus has done to help sell the games in North America.

After seeing that PSP God Eater and it's similarities to Digital Devil Saga in nature, I kind of want to see something more in line with that.

Either way, this beats an announcement of an announcement :D

IF I'm not mistaken, only the games in the mainline series have been titles "Shin Megami Tensei." A few spin-offs retained the "Megami" though. In the US. all of them had the former.

EDIT: Too slow..

Ok 360 owners. I know you're itching for some SMT. I'm joking, at your expense. It's not my fault Atlus loves Sony and Nintendo like 1000x more than Microsoft.

Cool those panties.
