Awesome. I heard a remixed version of the Fiend theme from Nocturne. Remixed Law theme too I believe at the end.

The song at 2:30 sounds bitchin'. Need to hear the full version.

I can't stand that assface with 18th century french court style hair.
Otherwise, can't honestly wait to lay my fingers on that and see what it is worth.

Koduka is doing fantastic work on the music. Can't wait to get lost for hours in the Cathedral of Shadows theme(s).

Oh shit, it's the Fiend battle theme from Nocturne (special if...).

Is Strange Journey part of the main SMT storyline? (I never played SJ)

EDIT: Oh and is Strange Journey good? Because I'm tempted to grab it, totally forgot about this title.

Considering the game comes out in May, is there a chance we may get the game by Q4 2013? I want the game now!

Definitely hyped for this. I don't really see the big issue with the 2D sprites, either. While, yes, 3D battles would have absolutely been preferable, I definitely appreciate the work they've put into making them seem less static than their usual 2D portrayals with the animations. Definitely gets less intrusive the more I see it.

Warming up to some of the new demon designs, too. I really dig the one shown off at 2:56, for instance.

Kuebiko? Yeah, he's probably the best of the new lot so far. I'll never warm up to Asmodeus', unfortunately.

Also, when the MC is summoning Parvati, Aquans, and the like, you can see he has Amaterasu in his party on the bottom screen. SQUEE (surely someone other than me has to be excited about these kinds of reveals)

Oh god. Give it to me now.

It's hard to believe we're already so close to the JP release.

Edit: also yeah. I suspect we'll be hearing about a western release pretty soon. Especially since the JP date draws ever closer.

Lame production values... Looks like a step down from Persona 4 for sure. Static animu drawings with text and a combat system that looks like Etrian Odyssey.

Damn that looks good... 3DS is really killing it. May end up being one of the best handhelds of all time at this rate.

Wat wat, you aren't talking about the guy with the fluffy hair are you!? The very definition of an absolute baller of a character design :I

Game looks goddamn amazing btw, so glad I imported an American 3DS >_<

Man, each of these trailers get me hyped more and more. Can't wait until the game releases and I can hear more of the OST.

This game is so inconsistent.

The music is good, but the audio quality is bad.
The battles against multiple demons look fine, but bosses are so, so dumb ("oooh I'm a giant cardboard silhouette that barely moves, so intimidating")
There's the iconic Kaneko art clashing with the new demon designs. Plus some of the old art looks terribly low res (Charon, for example, is unacceptable).
Exploration looks fine, but having the protagonist as the only polygonal character is so distracting when you just encounter sprites and "portraits" (that moment in the trailer where they show him summoning demons in battle looks kinda silly).

But maybe I'm just bitter because it's likely it'll take years to come out in Europe.

The presentation while good for what it is, is somewhat disappointing given that it's 2013.

Whatever though, I'm just happy for a mainline SMT game and a game from Atlus that doesn't take place in a school... or does it?
