    I did it all for the nookie.

    If you get the choice, kill the males. All of them.

    Also, I used to feel bad for Yosuke, but now...fuck him. Here's the reason he's forever alone:

    Yet another reason Daisuke should have got his satanic mitts on the Arena OST.

    I see Dragonforce in there too :(

    Getting...anything with Debilitate is too much work. I youtubed the ending and am resisting the urge to buy a Vita and Golden. I still need to get P3 and finish Arena's story mode.

    JRPG protagonists are statistically much more likely to have stupid, stupid haircuts than to have only a female option available.

    Right, but the MC is voiced by a woman. Still a possibility for both sides.

    That is one hell of a teaser! Can't make out much with just this, but it seems like the main characters live in what looks like whatever the last bastion of civilization after the world gets destroyed. Voice acting I'm not sure if is a plus overall or not. It should help make it more dramatic if anything.

    Nah, I see feet. I might be wrong though. Would be exciting for STEVEN to show his mug again.

    I definitely saw the "little kid" from SMT3 in the 1:30ish area.

    Wonder what all the voice overs are saying. Especially the one at the very end.

    Who wants to bet that the protagonist is a guy with a ponytail? I mean, I'm seriously getting a Macross: Frontier flashback from the back of the protag's head.

    That'd be a very masculine body type to put on a female character. I'm going with "dude wearing a ponytail".

    Yeah. Probably a dude.

    Especially since in the trailers they look taller than most of the other people they talk to.

    From my cursory knowledge of Japanese, I heard that they're talking about making a brand new world from the ashes of the old or some such.

    Can I fuck social link anything that moves in SMT? Bah, I'll probably get it anyway.

    I'm also probably going to get Golden and put it away for a Vita price drop. I'm in no hurry Sony. I have all the time in the world to put with with your bullshit.

    I am probably going to buy a cheap used Vita while there aren't many desirable games out. Not all that interested in giving Sony money for one, but I'd like to have one. Did the same thing with my PS3, because of BC.

    I was gonna say; friend is a far cry from "girlfriend". Besides, Demi-Fiend totally had the hots for his teacher. The other characters you can be all "no", "What? No!" and "Are you freaking serious?" But the teacher asks for help and its "Dur, Okay!"

    Ice cold, man. Ice cold.

    But yeah, it's something you're going to have to get used to. 3DS is the only console that sells in Japan right now.

    Not totally true. PSP is still selling and charting games in Japan. But yeah, it's all handhelds all the time for next gen... same as the current generation for the most part.

    The PSP may chart games, but the console itself has been selling around 10k for a while.

    But that's for another thread.

    Regardless of *which* handheld, in Japan handhelds are the primary platform and I doubt that Atlus would have the budget to make SMT4 as a high-quality multiplatform console game.

    This may be the case of SMTIV, but I all but guarantee you Persona 5 is gonna be multiplatform console, with the way Arena and Catherine sold like gangbusters.

    Right. Nocturne didn't sell very good and SJ bombed, the fact that we're getting SMT4 at all is a blessing, really.

    On the other hand, Persona is, well, Persona. It'll sell like hotcakes, so an HD release is a no-brainer.

    Well, Arena was developed by Arc Systems, who has plenty of experience and history of creating those sorts of titles. They were likely able to reuse a lot from their last 2D console fighter (BlazBlue, I think?). Plus, half of the game is a visual novel. Catherine is a much shorter and less ambitious game (development-wise) than another 70-100 long SMT.

    SJ didn't bomb at all, neither did Nocturne for that matter.

    The only data I can find on SJ says it sold under what they were projecting. Expected 170k, sold 152k (as of April 2010). However, I can't find an English-language source of the full report, so I don't know if that's JPN or US or what.

    Nocturne didn't bomb, right. I worded it poorly. It actually sold quite well for Atlus at the time, but it's a far cry from the sales that P3 and P4 enjoyed.

    As much as I hate to say this, it wouldn't make business sense for them to invest in HD SMT when they can spend that time developing a Persona game.

    SJ I guess I stand corrected than. I do know that it didn't sell as well as they hoped it to though.
