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).
Seems like another avatar of the jerk god?
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.
I imagine at some point, there will be a dungeon that looks like a school.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?
It's Charon.
Same here. Can't believe I was stupid enough to consider a PAL system back in the day. Good thing my bet was on the winning team. Sorry Euro-GAFso glad I imported an American 3DS >_<
I have a feeling in my pants that we'll find out about the English release fairly soon. Maybe in a few weeks!
Can't wait. Fortunately, the wait probably won't be so long.
I want this so bad...
Can't wait for the localization announcement (it definitely should come with SH)
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.
'o-o'
Soul Hackers hasn't even come out yet, how am I supposed to keep up with all this SMT goodness. Next to P5, this is actually my second most anticipated game right now.
What's SH? Soul Hackers?
What's the budget on these kind of handheld RPGs? Does it explain the static drawings approach?
Music is awesome, can't wait for this! ]
I loved strange journey. I liked the story and charcter designs. Hated the music though, it was too cult-ish chanting into the night hallucination style heh.
I hope SMT IV brings the best in Strange Journey with the awesome music that III had!
Can't wait. Fortunately, the wait probably won't be so long.
I can't un-see that smile.
At 2:24, Oberon seems to be offering to teach the MC one of his skills!
Lucifer?
Have we ever fought him in Halel form?
He has a Helel form in Raidou 2 which is part of the battle in his regular form.

I have only ever played most Persona games, Devil Survivor and Strange Journey.
I know that these are not to be confused with the actual SMT games and that they're fairly different from each other.
I am pretty hyped for this game regardless, as if there is anything the Persona games tell me, it's that Atlus makes good games and their games have above average writing (played Catherine as well, by the way). I really don't know what to expect from an actual SMT game, but I want it regardless. Besides, this trailer looks excellent.

Strange Journey is a main line SMT game.
I think of it as a side-story title like If, but YMMV. It's still great, regardless.
Played it, loved it. More difficult than the other Persona games though. P3 came somewhat close at times, I suppose.
Oh, seriously? I thought it was some kind of a side-story, as iwakura said. I have to say that I definitely liked it (due to writing and whatnot), but didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Liked it more than Devil Survivor, but less than any of the Persona games.
The Demonica is in SMT IV. SJ is going to be important in some way to it.
It's still in the main series. Spinoffs are things like Persona.I think of it as a side-story title like If, but YMMV. It's still great, regardless.

The music so good. Brings back memories of Matador.
Butterfly dude with goatee = new demon? I wanna say its a very old Kaneko demon for some reason
Someone went ahead and subtitled it, for people who want to know what's going on.
