    Atlus are still releasing DS games?
    Brilliant.
    The longer before they head aboard a region-locked excuse for a console, the better.

    Hear, hear.

    Suddenly, Devil Survivor 2 has become something to look forward to rather than grumble about.

    Male character designs are bleh, but at least the female's design is less embarassing than the original DS female cast.

    As long as there's no escort missions, Day 1.

    Check out the Romancing Saga II/III, Saga Frontier I, and Romancing Saga: Minstrel's Song (though some of these are arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito making them collaborations).
    Romancing Saga: Minstrel's Song (RS1 Remake)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc1KEYXzsFo
    (Shredding.)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51PjXPBPWco
    (Rock out to Horns. Seriously.)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tyuzYoIDUg
    (Operatic style.)

    Saga Frontier I

    There are twelve battle themes in this game, seven of them exponentially different final boss themes (operatic to techno to shredding).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0iBRd5a-4
    (Final battle theme of Square's lesbian, harem-keeping, world conquering, Demoness Protagonist.)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4db-Z5voJrY
    (Personal favorite of the Seven final battle themes. Though it's a hard contest.)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZVrfXJGdnc
    (Epic boss battle theme. Only plays against two opponents in two scenarios (one of them being an optional fight).

    That should give you a Kenji Ito taste.

    Yuzus ending was hilarious though, in how hard the game basically screamed at you how terrible you where (at least if you aimed for it, failing everything on purpose, might not have been as bad if you picked it).

    Good compilation of the new info:

    http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/24/devil_survivor_2_first_look/

    New protagonist and Io look way cooler than cat ears and Yuzu.

    Cautiously optimistic.

    They're the reason why it's coming to the DS and not the 3DS. They couldn't get the 3D effect to look quite right.

    I've gotta say, the art definitely looks better here, especially the face on...your bro's face in the second screen shot. Seeing them with the Kaneko demons (especially pre-Soul Hackers Kaneko), but they're demons from another realm, so it fits...?

    EDIT: It's also good to hear that you're going all over Japan, too (though I was a little disappointed that the tower in the logo was Tokyo Tower and not the Eiffel Tower).

    Well, the scan implies we'll be meeting most of the main DeSu1 cast (Main, Yuzu, either Naoya or Amane, Midori and someone I don't recognise because the photo's too blurry). From what we've seen, only two (maybe three) endings could be canon:
    Atsuro, Gin, or maybe (and it's a really big maybe) Amane.

    Opinion Question...I got a copy of Devil Survivor a long time ago for the DS, but I never got more than two hours into it. I'm at a point in my gaming life where I can go back to it again, but should I wait for the 3DS remake first?

    The 3DS version seems like a pretty half-hearted attempt based on early previews so I probably wouldn't bother if you've already got the DS version.

    Yeah, it's the same game with voice acting and a new day. Not worth the cost at all.
    (I sure can't think of any other 3ds titles meriting the $249 entry point.)

    Yeah. Region locking just means more people are going to get/want Flashcarts/CFW.
    And really, you should never get a console for just one game. Wait until there's at least five you want or so.

    My general rules for a nintendo handheld are

    a) I wait for a price drop or around 50-100
    b) I wait for a pokemon/fire emblem to be released(add Phoenix Wright to that list)

    So I've got a good 2 or so before I get a 3DS.

    Really, at this point, I wish they would just put all the Persona games on the PSP so I could have the whole collection on one portable system. They wouldn't even need to add any enhancements to P4, I'd still buy it.

    If Catherine's any indication, we'll be waiting at least until it's out in April.

    But really, I bet SCEA wants everything they can get their hands on to fill the pre-NGP void.

    I'm confident we'll get P2PSP here.



    I haven't been mentioning it, but if you keep tabs on Andriasang, they've been posting updates on the quest system in Sumaru Theater. It has a create your own quest system that lets you upload them to share with others.


    The dream of MayaXTatsuya can be more real than ever!


    Or Devil Summoner Katsuya VS The Joker Army, if you prefer.

    This week's Famitsu had a new article on the game. I'll leave specifics (or new thread) to people that can actually read the moonrunes, but it seems like a "create-a-quest mode", and a cameo with "SMT If..."

    And from a user on Gamefaqs,
    http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/611279-persona-2-tsumi/58550313
    "Also the original scenario writer, Satomi Tadashi (left Atlus after the Digital Devil Saga 2) returns for the extra scenario."

    The setting of one of the new quests is at the If HS, the name of which eludes me.


    Now I'm all excited about the prospect of If being remade with Persona 2's engine.

    Hype for P2P is rising. I can't believe that I spoiled the ending for myself though. I thought that I'd never play it, and looked up the game's story.

    A day later, P2P is announced.
