Is anyone planning on buy this? I'm a huge Shin Megami fan and, for me, this is a fantastic addition to the series.
If anyone has played Etrian Odyssey, you'll understand this game pretty quickly. It takes a lot of the aspects I found annoying in EO and improves them.
Some interesting facts about SMT series:
Imagine...Demonic...Pokemon...Yes!
- I enjoy Pokemon but it just doesn't offer a compelling story or art design for me any more. The SMT series has a huge amount of demons that you fight, but also convince to join! A staple of the traditional SMT series is negotiation. You can choose to talk to a demon or fight them. By talking to them you can barter a deal for items or have them join your party!
The Velvet Room
Known in Persona as the Velvet Room, SMT games allow you to collect and fuse demons as a way to aquire even more powerful allies. This also allows for a huge amount of customization because the parents demons can pass on spells and stat bonuses.
Story...story...story
YES!!!! SMT games are complicated and mature. One aspect of this is introduced in an SMT universe standard actually!
USUALLY, God is considered to be a yolk of burden on humans and demons are the rebellious chaotic counter in the series. Neither side is good and the main character must choose between what they consider to be the lesser evil OR just go the middle of the road (What is considered neutral or "your own path")
I'm going to stop there :)
As you can see I enjoy the series!!!!
