So, when I checked my mails a few hours ago I saw this mail by Atlus with the beta key for SMT:Imagine and even tho I don't like MMORPGs much, I remember how I drooled at the game on the Japanese website, so I had this heavy urge to give the game a try. Now, 4 hours later I think I might enjoy the game when it's out - if I play it with friends (coz I just can't bring myself to talk to strangers in MMORPGs, who knows why.), but I don't think I'll play more of the beta. I've not even finished the tutorials.
So the game starts off with a pretty background image of a shiny tower and a short summary of the story:
A.D. 20XX TOKYO
In the aftermath of the Great Destruction, those who survived constructed shelters,
waiting for the day when they would rebuild their city.
Led by the Seven Philosophers these survivors constructed a massive tower.
This tower came to be called Shinjuku Babel.
Having lost their homes, the remaining survivors took refuge in an underground city
called Third Home.
I think after that you create your character, or before, I forgot. XD Anyways, you have a few options, you can choose between three body sizes, 6 faces, around 10 different hairstyles, three weapons, 2 outfits with some colour variation aaaaand of course hair and eyecolour (sadly there was no shocking pink, boo.)
Then you're off to Chapter 0.
So, the prologue starts off with you and your instructor (and her Demon) being called off from your training mission because the communication to Second Home has broken off and since your near you need to investigate what's going on, you learn how to move your character, how to move the camera, how to attack and use skills. After running around in underground corridors and fighting some weak demons you find a critically hurt guard and you move one while your instructor is tending his wounds, when she catches up to you she tells you the city got attacked by a strong demon and asks you what you want to do and since I told her I'd fight even it costs my life she tells me the sad story of this strong friend of hers who died protecting a little girl and soon after you instructor and her Demon are confronted by the strong fiend and she dies protecting you. After that you wake up in Third Home, Professor Snakesomething forces you to do another tutorial which is almost the same as the prologue just inside a virtual room, wee~
Then the game crashed on me and I didn't feel like continuing, but all in all it was kinda nice. Tho I had the most fun making my character, as always. :3
like I said, I think I will give it another go when the game's out for real, since I don't feel like leveling a character that gets deleted at the and of the beta anyways. Well, if anyone wants to play together with me then, tell me here or pm me~! <3
