Kinda wondering what you expected since it is a PSX port. As for the names, I'm cool with the scrolling because the alternative is having the names abbreviated which is awful.

Don't expect those arranged tracks to be in the game, though the in game OST is still good
Is it just me, or does that Nemechi take a huge amount of playcoins to get through lol
It's like reverse EOIV. That came with the low quality versions and the game had the good versions.Don't expect those arranged tracks to be in the game, though the in game OST is still good

Playing it now. Love all this voice acting. Lots of familiar voices.
I guess you're right. The only other 3DS port I have is TotA and presentation wise it's lazy too, they didn't update the battle menus (which are pictures) and battle result text so everything is blurry.
It's just a tad disappointing to me. The core game is fine and I have no problem with the VA or localization so far. The presentation is just annoying, it reminds me of Devil Survivor DS but worse. The FMV that won't take half the screen and are full of compression arteficts make my eyes bleed.
I also know they've updated the portraits and tweaked the battles to make them faster and it's pretty cool they did but man some part of the game are an eyesore.
TBH I'm happy they did this port even if it's lazy. At least many players can finally experience this master piece.
I will be very happy if they do ports of the PS1 versions of SMTI, II and if as well. A simple port would be really enough. I like the original feeling of these games and I'm not sure that a full remake would do them justice.
For those wondering, there is a limit of the number of play coins you can feed Nemechi each day and a limit at how many coins you can trade for d-souls each day. At his first level, you need 300 d-souls to evolve him and that requires 20 play coins. The demons he sells for the first two levels all cost 100 d-souls.

Just picked my copy up during lunch at work. Can't wait to start digging into this later today! (After I finish FFV for my iPhone...)

Looks like IGN is giving codes for this out on their Twitter at the top of every hour. Gotta be quick though, looks like the last one got taken in 6 seconds? Just trudging through Strange Journey while I wait...

Loving the old-school FMV - takes me back. Reminds me of FFVII.
God, the atmosphere of the "art gallery" is so creepy, between the music, the emptiness, and the weird NPC conversations. Hope the game has lots of areas like that.

Question for those who got the game with the CD. I ordered it from Amazon but it won't come in tonight so I am desperate to pick up the game from a different store then return the Amazon copy to the store I bought it from. Curious as to how the game is packaged and if I will be able to even do this.
If that makes any sense.

A shrinkwrapped box contains both the regular shrinkwrapped case and the CD sleeve.

Rei's voice is a lot higher pitched than I thought it would be.

Handle is ABRAXAS, the handle I always use in SMT if given the chance.
Will be awkward if I run into the actual Abraxas in-game:

Yep.
I'm probably the only one who thinks the battles run a little too fast. Surprised it isn't optional.
And the Goumaden remix is HOT FIRE.
Up to the second dungeon,
Mm, delicious summoner net conspiracy drama. Bring on the Kuzunohas!
And no joke on the audio. Boy is it low sometimes.

Reviews added to the top of the OP, let me know if I missed any(noteworthy) ones.

Yeah I'm playing with my headphones because the I can only really hear the VA when the sound is turned all the way up.
Hop on the 3DS train. It's the best one going in 2013, and I hate handhelds.

All I know:
Liam O'Brian - Spooky
Laura Bailey - Hitomi/Nemissa
Patrick Seitz - Main's father
Tomoko (Main's sister) - Chie's VA, or so people are claiming?
I swear Victor's sounds familiar.
It wouldn't really be a waste of money to pick up a cheap OG 3DS just for the game.
There's no mistaking Erin Fitzgerald like that.

This is excellent casting. Guy always does a great job. Nails the "cool, experienced guy" role perfectly.
JYB for Lucifer plz.

The guy who does Victor would be a fine choice. Nice mix of sophisticated and absolutely psycho.
I wonder if we'll get any throwbacks to Raidou, since this was localized afterward and all. Probably not.
Actually I wonder who voices Raidou...hmm...
