Looks like they're chucking a lot of the tedious stuff out in this. Seeing as the US release is still quite a while away, I'm going to see if an EU version is going to come out some time this year. Not getting my hopes up yet.

I got my Japanese 3DS delivered today, with Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. I only just started it but I can say that it involves hacking (dunno about hacking souls exactly), and I have a loving pixie woo!!! edit: As soon a 4 was announced for the 3DS I knew I needed one, it was just a matter of when. Now's fine. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Sep 15, 2012 |

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, it's definitely going well. I don't really understand why its a spinoff game though, its mechanics seem almost identical to SMT to me. It has a few demons so far I haven't seen before yet, like a drag queen. It's a spinoff because everyone in the cast isn't a complete dickbag. A lot of the Dark trash mobs will probably be new to you. Maybe the Light and Neutral ones too, depending on if you played Strange Journey and the Devil Survivor games or not.

Ok, just a few new game + questions for P3P. Do any of these transfer over: -Personas in my inventory -Equipment in use during final battle -Items like Somas or Beads Just want to figure out how I should set things aside before finishing. Thanks!

Personas won't, but you'll be filthy rich by the end so it won't matter; just take them back out of the Compendium. All equipment stays in your inventory, but consumables do not. Kurosawa will sell all available equipment from the start. The protagonist keeps their level, though they are the only one. Personas unlocked from maxing out S.Links are still unlocked. Status levels carry over (get ready to play in the arcade every single night to max out your Persona's stats!). It's worth noting that Persona 4 lets you keep only money, status levels, your Compendium, and S.Link Persona unlock status, in case you haven't played that one. Edit: \/I can't put those on, I'm already wearing glasses!

Now you can wear Persona 4: The glasses while playing Persona 4: The Golden on Playstation: The Vita. Not really sure why you'd want these though since they just look like cheap 99 cent store costume glasses.

A new SMT4 trailer is up on Nico Video, you can watch it here without registering an account: [url]http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1347875449[/url] Fully 3d third person exploration with first person battles and sprite enemies. It also strangely seems to be lacking art from Kaneko. Edit: Youtube version is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXH5WRP36fA Bleep fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Sep 17, 2012 |

The first person battles is a major bummer, I was really hoping for it to still be 3rd person a la SMT3. It's just one of those things that rubs me the wrong way and it's hard for me to enjoy it. Maybe it's been long enough that I wouldn't mind it at this point, as it's been forever since I've played a JRPG with first-person battles. It looks interesting to say the least.

The exploration segments look incredible. Definitely what I was hoping for with a next-gen-ish SMT game. But those battle scenes... Ugh. First person and badly animated sprites.

If the choice is between reusing those sprites or reusing the Nocturne models I'll take the sprites everyday.

Oh man, that looks sweet. I can definitely deal with first person battles, because gently caress, it's an SMT game. And the setting looks really interesting, and the exploration looks fun. But god drat it, why doesn't it have Kaneko designs, these dudes just look goofy. Not a dealbreaker or anything, but you can't have SMT without Kaneko.  Sounds like the soundtrack will even be pretty neat. Here's hoping for some insanely heavy battle themes.

I'm disappointed battles are first person considering the actual third person gameplay looks awesome. But more than that, the first person battles don't really look like it remotely fits the game or its art style considering they're sprites. You can tell they're forced to go a really cheap route because even the story scenes seem to be just talking character portraits. Is Atlus in that much trouble that they need to go cheap on a new main title SMT?

I would've liked to see third-person combat as well, the third-person stuff looks great if that trailer is any indication and to go to 2D sprites for battles just doesn't seem to mesh well with the look of the game.

Yeah, the game looks really weird right now. Still awesome, but very inconsistent in terms of visual appeal, which isn't very Atlus-like.

I knew there was a reason I held onto my 3DS- that looks amazing. I've never played a mainline SMT game but this looks like a great place to start. A bit more P3P chat- Alright, so my party looks something like this: FemC - 71 Akihiko - 70 Mitsuru - 69 Yukari - 70 I have everyone's weakness covered through accessories except Akihiko. I have a Loki with Mind Charge / Mediarahan and a Raphael with Null Charm and Null Dark / Light. I can get through the first few forms of the last fight just fine, but three times in a row now I've been killed by Lovers when it uses Tentarafoo / Almighty Attack (crit) / Almighty Attack (crit) until FemC dies. How can I get around this? I fused an Abbadon that nullified physical attacks, but that doesn't stop Almighty Attack (which I should have guessed by the name, but you know...). Any advice? I maxed every S-Link except Lovers, Sun, Aeon, Empress, and Justice. I also have about 7 million yen, so I can probably fuse whatever would help. Thanks! Edit: Also, this is on Hard mode.

Wow that trailer is awesome and I'm really stoked to play the game. Honestly the sprites in my opinion are better if only because they have more detail than the kinda bad 3D models. Its a shame about First person battles, but oh well.

Trailer looked good to me, no Kaneko designs is certainly a bummer but the characters don't look bad, at least to me. I liked the way that the exploration segments looked, nice and slick. We didn't see too much of what battles looked like, but it seems like there might be a system that supports tons of enemies at once? At about 1:39 on the video it looks like there's 8 enemies between two rows, and then 5 of them bite it to one attack, so I'm really interested in how this is going to be balanced. I'm okay with first person battles, especially if they're fast paced. But it does seem weird to me that they're going for first person battles considering that in the exploration segments it looks like the character model changes depending on what your equipped with, maybe? Seems weird that they'd go through the trouble of making all those models and not use them during battles. I don't understand Japanese so the only word I really recognized was "Samurai", which seemed to get repeated a lot in that trailer. Wonder what that's all about.
