As stated before, the voice acting fits.

I may be only get the 3DS at first for the sole purpose of playing this game. Then when another good game comes along, I'll have more purpose.

Voice Acting is decent but hey! At least it's not as bad as Arc Rise Fantasia! Anyway, I probably won't pick this up as this is mostly the original DS game just with added content, which I own the original anyway. That and I'm not really a fan of this game, not sure why, it just eventually bores me after awhile. :/

I think the voice acting sounds..."generic", but it's far from bad. It definitely fits.

This looks awesome. My only one complaint is the fact that the monsters look static - like they did in the original title, and in Etrian Odyssey I/II/III - in Strange Journey, each monster sprite would move in battle. It really did make it seem more "alive." Not that it's a huge deal - I just think it's odd that they'd omit something like that in a remake/reboot/upgraded port. I'm definitely buying it. It has over 20,000 spoken words recorded - the most in Atlus' history, which is pretty impressive.

Still, this makes me wonder when "Persona 3D" will be released, but this is good in the mean time.

I just want to know what "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (Series) refers to. I mean, I'm sure it's not a remake/port of the first title, as the PSP has it already, and it's also getting the second title. Maybe the 3DS will get the second part in the second game? I'd rather get Persona 4 Portable, or a brand new entry into the series altogether. Whatever it is, I just hope they keep the gameplay style and social aspects the same. I think the jump they made from 2 to 3 was a solid one, and I hope they continue that trend.

Persona has the whole persona idea of having a monster represent your soul (except for hero, who's soul is so awsm, every persona minus minor hero personas can represent his soul)

in -just- (shin) megami tensei, you have someone beating the crap out of monsters and at most, negotiate them into joining you.

is that what you were asking?


now to the game... meh.
i expected more from a graphical update than using better sprites.
animations would've been the least i'd expect, next to a freely rotatable cam in battles.
i dont mind them staying with sprites though, thats good, more producers should take the time to create high ress sprite art.

No no no - (Shin) Megami Tensei is the series in which all of the titles fall - including the Persona series, the Devil Summoner series, the Digital Devil Saga series, etc. When they announced the titles for the 3DS, Atlus released the following:

Shin Megami Tensei
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor


We know that Devil Survivor is the one we're talking about here - Overclocked. What we don't know (and what I was asking) is what Persona title is coming to the 3DS - if it's a remake of one, or if it's a brand new entry.

It's also worth noting that Atlus also posted "Etrian Odyssey" - I wonder when we'll hear more about that.

Yeah, the 3DS is still getting a Shin Megami Tensei game and a Persona game. Persona 5 is out of the question, but a Persona 4 Portable on the 3DS would be awesome.

As for this game, though, I still want it. Of course I still want it - it's an SRPG and it's an Atlus game. Best. Combination. Ever. I wonder if there are new endings, considering there's a whole new day...

Well I would like Persona 4. It was the 1st and only Persona game I've ever played (so I'm being a little biased), it had great music and a bunch of cultural references. That, and I sold it before I beat it...I still regret that...

This game was great fun on the DS, great story and quite challenging. I'll definitely get this at some point if I get a 3DS.

On the voice acting, I don't like second voice, one of the females. She also talks at the end. The rest seem fine, but I cringed at her.

@Wintrale:I can't wait to see either. I wonder if it'll be SMT5? I suppose it could be anything in the SMT Series, as it just says "Shin Megami Tensei", but they did label Devil Survivor, so who knows.

I don't think 5 would be impossible - especially not if they did it in P3P style - with all of the navigation outside of the designated "battle area" (Tartarus/Inside of the TV) done by menu. But I agree - a Persona 4 port seems more likely. And I'm perfectly OK with that.

@machomuu:
The Persona series is a bit different. The first 2 games in the series (3, if you're splitting up Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin) play a lot like your typical dungeon crawler/SMT title. The last 2 (3 and 4) are completely different experiences due to the whole social aspect and emphasis on relationship building. Not saying that they all aren't fantastic games, because they are, but don't get hung up about only playing one title. And definitely look into any of the titles before actually buying them - people who loved Persona 3 and 4 and went for the remake of the first Persona on the PSP were pretty disappointed with what they found, if only because they were expecting games like 3 and 4.

But yes, you must finish it.

Well actually, I did play Persona. I'm more of what you would calll a "passive S/MT fanboy", I learn about the games (from the original Megami Tensei onwards), but am a little passive when it comes to actually buying them

Ah. Well I definitely suggest playing them. I've yet to try a few titles in the SMT series (including DDS and if), but the rest of them I've sunk a pretty large chunk of time into, and they're all great. A fantastic series, really. I don't condone or encourage piracy, but find away to play them xD.

But on the topic of Overclocked - I wonder just what will be in 3D - unlike games like FFTactics, the attacks aren't over the top and flashy, so there's really no 3D to be had in battles. (Unless they've redone the attack animations.) And the board itself is pretty static other than the creatures, which are all sprites. I suppose the menu's could pop out a little, but I don't think 3D will do much for a title like this.

I thought many persona fans didn't want Persona 4 portable.

Well, that's what I heard on the atlus forums anyways, I wouldn't mind a portable version. I never played 4.

I don't like how Atlus just ported a game that came out barely 2 years ago and re-release it with some new content.

They done it before with Persona 3.
But that's a PS2 game. Not everyone has access to a PS2 or a backwards compatible PS3. It's different bringing a game to the 3DS when the 3DS is backwards compatible with NDS games.
