The game came out in Japan today!
Pretty nice so far, although more of the same as expected. Not sure how much I dig the soundtrack yet (I know Yuzo Koshiro contributed to some of it), and the character animation isn't as smooth as Soma's in the previous game, but that's likely because you now control two of them at once. You can choose to alternate between characters or summon the other onscreen and let the CPU play as him/her. Just got the dual crush super attack, but didn't try it yet. Jonathon uses different types of weapons (he's not limited to a whip), and Charlotte uses magic attacks from her book (the first weapon you get for her makes a sword come out of her book when you attack). Despite the animation, the graphics are better than all previous versions, with new 3D elements, backgrounds, and even some enemies. There's also a good amount of new enemies this time around, too, which is a welcome addition. I hear this game is a bit short, but there's multiple endings and apparently something like seven or eight secret characters to use. I expect to least be as long, if not longer (which is what was said earlier on) than the previous game.
BTW, if you hold the L button while selecting your file, you can change the character voices (NOT text) to English.
