Technically no, but there's some mutually exclusive things you have to choose between, so there will be content that's New To You.

So Amazon says my copy should arrive tomorrow, but punching the tracking number into UPS' site says Wednesday. Hmmm. Hope for the best I guess.
So I found some time to play this a bit over the weekend, loving it so far. But I had a question.
Does anyone know what the colour of the damage means? Sometimes its red, sometimes yellow surrounded in red, etc. I checked the (Digital) manual but didn't find any information.

IIRC it's basically a measure of how much HP the enemy has left. White is a lot, yellow is like 30% and red is critical.
That's incredibly useful, thank you!

Excellent, my copy has shipped and will be arriving tomorrow. I can hardly wait.

I forgot to pre-order at gamestop, all the first run copies will be the traditional Atlus 3/DS package right?
Yes, that's right.
This is a good review. On Cubed3 a 7/10 is "good" whereas on other sites that'd probably be average. Goes over the flaws well (mainly on the technical level) but says the story, dungeons, battle system, overall design, etc. is good.
San Jose, just got a tracking # shipping from Nevada, Im positive it will arrive tomorrow! I got EOIV and P4G in less than 2 days with prime both from Fernely, NV.

I'l admit...I'm only buying this to support Atlus and JRPGs getting localized in general....
but I did the same with EOIV and it turned out awesome.
Hopefully the story is awesome as advertised...I couldn't get through Persona 2 or Strange Journey (although persona had a lot to do with my psp dying).

Whaaa
The story in SJ is awesome though. How much time did you spend with it?

Three hours!
Wait, we can download this in three hours? I may need to rethink the GS preorder.

No, I'm going to GS in three hours to get it.

Oh, I see.
Edit: I've never actually been to one of these midnight launch things. How long does it generally take to pick something up?

I got momentarily irritated/worried for nothing, tracking updated and it's in Salt Lake! All the comments on the story have really got me excited to see what the fuss is.
The only SMT world games i've ever been disappointed with were the Devil survivor games (they arent bad...just kinda boring) and Persona 1...so i'm ready to dive in here.
EDIT: Bah putting everything else on hold...even though I never finished Strange Journey, and i'm currently still messing around in Fire Emblem hard classic, and EOIV.

Hmm, I'm finding something's obtuse about the game, for example: what stat boosts I get from equipment, saving in dungeons, recovering team members, negotiating. Game really shows its age.

Funny you should mention, replaying Raidou 2 reminded me of that certain something the Devil Summoner games have, namely how integral demons are to the story(though I think this is less true for SH since it's mostly human antagonists, which is even better).
I suppose I should cook up a review banner...

Yeah, this review is definitely worth reading if anyone's on the fence. It's refreshing to see a review where a 7/10 isn't an automatic "D".
Devil Survivor 1 & 2 are excellent mang.

Me too. And I'm off tomorrow, and the kids will be at school. Looking forward to digging into this.
The story just didnt grab me, or maybe it was the character design? I dunno...
To be honest, the only i've played was 2.
They should hold it for at least a few days.
Good deal, may call just to make sure. Just don't think heading down by that area so soon is a good plan.
Story in DS2 isn't as good as DS1. For a SMT game the story was different, yet at the same time typical. DS1 has a good Megaten story.
He had some more criticism on GFAQs.

Apparently the localization isn't that good?
Yeah i'd call first, but i'm sure they'd understand. But yeah, just call to verify.
Eh, he's just saying the translation's a bit literal? Probably won't bother me much.

He's criticizing some really subjective stuff. And not that I care, but didn't he break embargo?
If you ask me, we're lucky this isn't a -kun/-sempai fest. (Unless it is and I just haven't seen it yet.)

His example seems kinda laughable, actually. Unless the translation is significantly worse than the Atlus norm, I don't think I'd worry about it.

Depends on how many people purchased one at that store. I'm sure big launches (CoD) might take a while, but Final Fantasy XIII took me only ten minutes.

Well maybe if he wasnt such a cheapass...

like.
that's literally the example the poster gives as why the translation is not that great.
