I guess that's cool, if anything having my phone on me always will be able to justify the mind numbing tedium that's going to be early 90s JRPG dungeons.

So this just came out of nowhere- an official English release of SMT1 on iOS! Here's hoping for Android or even 3DS versions.

Holy poo poo. I've been kind of wishing for remakes of 1/2 to make them a bit less 90s-ish, but I'll take it.

poo poo, much love for Atlus right now, working every facet of the SMT fanbase. Don't want to be one of those guys that immediately goes "Where's the Android version?!", but hopefully that does well for them and they can bring it over here.

This is probably the first time I regret not having an iOS device. Might be the last too. Still not getting one because that's a bit too expensive for only one thing, though.

I remember the app description saying they were never going to do a translation. I would get a screenshot, but the app seems to have been pulled from the store. Also, if... got an app store release last year. :psyduck:

I've been pretty tickled by that comment that was made at the time of the acquisition about Sega recognizing the Western appeal of the SMT/Persona games and it makes me wonder if there are just board rooms full of Japanese executives puzzling over what it is that made Persona catch fire when other Japanese devs were seeing interest wane.

There was really no lead up to this announcement. I'm curious if it will get ported to the Wii U maybe, as well.... Probably not.

Atlus Faithful e-mail says that SMT will be $7.99 on the App Store, which is incredibly more reasonable than the Japanese versions of if... and II currently available on the App Store for $13.99. :v:

Minato's design has a decent amount of personality. The hair over his eyes, his kinda slouched posture, the earbuds. You can buy that he's a dude that's a bit disaffected with life just off design alone.

That dude's design is just Minato's with all those defining characteristics removed.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Isn't it just typical character design meant to allow people to project themselves onto the character or something?

Huh, I don't think anyone was expecting a official translation of SMT1.

I would say it's the PS1 version due to the song in the trailer.

It's the GBA version, it's not particularly hard to tell if you're familiar with it. Simply based on the life bars and dungeon backgrounds.



The PS1 version has different life bars and backgrounds.

Well, yeah, it's not like that's unheard of, I just meant that it literally looks like they took the P3 designs and removed the defining traits.

If you add Devil Survivor 1 and 2 and have not played Strange Journey I'd say it easily justifies it.
