[perfect free]

Cancelled my Amazon order (it hadn't shipped yet, was projected to arrive next week) and went e-Shop. I'm weak and impatient... but on the plus side, I have Soul Hackers! Roommate has a copy too, so we're both going to start it up tonight, haha.

 

[cj_iwakura]

is there a Japanese voice option?

If you turn the voices off, it's just like the original Saturn release!

Spoiler

no

Reminder to always go back into the hideout after you've been given the next story objective so you can see silly scenes:

I didn't get a shot of Six naming him AAAA though

 

[MikeDip]

My game froze once on me. I was doing an auto-repeat in a battle and it froze when a bufu hit. Had to force shutdown the system, hope this was a one time thing.

 

[buddha0991]

Man that was a close call, Zoma Gargantua Zero hits like a truck.

 

[Soriku]

Btw, what are good stat distributions for MC and Nemissa? I believe Nemissa is magic focused and MC is physical?

 

[Artemisia]

FUCKKKKKKKKK

I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING THE CODE IN TIME

That's correct, but it's highly advisable to give them each some Agi so they can act before bosses, especially if you get the elec-stun sword.

Which works on bosses!

 

[sfried]

Does anybody know the voice cast?

 

[Soriku]

Nice.

OK that's what I'll do.

Amazon ship the game already.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Also, I didn't even know this, but there's an early game choice which affects Nemissa's elemental build. Without elaborating, the first is fire, the second is lightning(I think), and the third is ice, but it also changes late game spells.

Spoiler

It's before Nemissa possesses her, Spooky asks how Hitomi normally is.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

FUCKKKKKKKKK

Goddamn code ninjas are snatching up the IGN codes so fast. I've given up, I'll just pick the game up tomorrow.

SAMEE
Oh well maybe the first smt game will be SMT4 for me,planning to get it

I had twitter up on 3 devices and was refreshing them like CRAZY. God I'm so angry.

 

[buddha0991]

How do you guys feel about MAG management? Getting SMT 1/2 flashbacks, but those games have trained me for this, I am all good here.

 

[Aeana]

"Rx and Effects."

Approval.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I had a freeze too. I killed a Knocker and it froze on the death animation. Hope it's not common.

Enjoying the game so far, can't wait to get off of work.

You will NEVER have a money problem, that's for sure.


Personally, I keep either a really strong demon or a couple weak ones, and don't have a full party out until I really need one, mag will plummet fast later on.


Also, I think I found out who that one unvoiced shopkeep is; the boutique lady in Paradigm X.

It's really quite random, some stuff is voiced for some shopkeeps, like Victor's tutorial text, some isn't.

Haha, amazing.

 

[Splash Wave]

Does the first dialogue choice--whether your companion is upbeat, sexy, or calm--effect stats?

 

[TurnipFritters]

It effects her spell list. Upbeat is fire, calm is ice and sexy is lightning.

 

[Splash Wave]

Any recommendation as to which one I should go with? And thanks, by the way.

People seem to really dig Sexy because you get Almighty spells earlier. Upbeat is good too, but Calm is kind of... bad. Do whichever you like.

Couple more voices(rumored at least):

Spoiler

Mitsuru/Elizabeth's is your mother, Yuri Lowenthal is Yu-ichi.

 

[Chance Hale]

Is the dungeon design better than the first Persona game? I have nightmares of that repeating/mirrored labyrinth.

Also: what's the approximate length?

 

[Red_taiyaki]

So close to being able to play......but need to get home first, exercise, then play SMT: Soul Hackers the rest of the night .

There's two dungeons in SH that are pretty nasty IMO, and neither are as bad as anything in SJ or even the final dungeon of Persona 1.

And 30-40 hours.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I hope you get the ability to carry more demons soon because my comp is always full :S

Ooooooooh, I was wondering why I was stuck with lightning spells. Well then. Hahaha.

 

[Aeana]

Went into the Love Club thing in Paradigm X. It asked me what my gender was, so I said female. Then the next question it asked was "do people often want to protect you?"

Oh Atlus

Ice, then. Seems fitting.

 

[vall03]

Fuck! 3DS battery is red! Noooo! I should have put my 3DS on the cradle before I went to sleep last night.

Oh wow, that's priceless!

Atlus, I love you.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I've had my copy for a couple hours, I'll probably post some more in-depth impressions later. But for now, I'm loving the VO. Anyone have any idea who does the voice for Six? He sounds so familiar but I can't put a name on him.

 

[Omikaru]

LOL.

Gold star, Atlus.

 

[Aeana]

Sigh.
Major nostalgia rush going right now. As much as I love this game, I haven't actually replayed it in about 7 years. This game really represents the best of a different, unique era of Atlus and Megaten in general. I really hope people enjoy the game and are able to appreciate those differences, particularly when it comes to aesthetics and music (but also things like the MAG system and such).

How do you feel about SMT4 compared to these older games, from what we have see and what we know about it?

 

[TurnipFritters]

Oh Atlus

I said I was a boy and that I believed in magic and that I was a wizard and that I talked to demons and it said I was a loser who will end up alone and I should get my head checked.

 

[Reveirg]

How long is the game (straight walkthrough)?

Just wondering if I can finish it relatively quickly with Dark Arisen and Soul Sacrifice coming out in the next 2 weeks.

 

[SpaceBridge]

I'm finding this really frustrating: how do I gained loyalty with my demons. Damn Goblin left me.

Also, third dungeon spoilers :

Spoiler

what's the answers to the zodiac quiz?

 

[mugurumakensei]

BGM is wonderful. Story is intriguing and engaging so far.

 

[Kincaido]

UPS finally delivered my copy. My copy of DeSu Overclocked decided to come today too lol. Love the OP to this.

 

[SpaceBridge]

BGM is wonderful. Story is intriguing and engaging so far.

Doesn't it sound really low?

 

[Toma]

Its so annoying you guys can already play this while we dont even have a release date yet in EU.

But hey, Fire Emblem finally releases for us this week.

Stupid region locking.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Reading the manual might help a bit. You gain loyalty by either giving them gifts or telling them to use commands they like. Check the manual to see which personality like which command.

As for the love quiz thing mentioned above it said my best match was Hitomi. I thought it was the same for everyone lol

 

[mugurumakensei]

Doesn't it sound really low?

On 3DS yea but I got my 3DS hooked up to my pc speakers for louder sound.

 

[Splash Wave]

Shit, I think I may have ended the first Vision Quest prematurely. Will I be able to go back here and find whatever I may have missed?

And I should just focus on physical stats for the main character, yeah?

I'm loving this game's overall aesthetic so far.

 

[TurnipFritters]

Reminder: Touch the bottom screen and set the Difficulty Hack "Down" before you buy from the Compendium, because it reduces the price considerably.

Shit, I think I may have ended the first Vision Quest prematurely. Will I be able to go back here and find whatever I may have missed?

You didn't miss anything (nothing can be taken with you anyway), and no, you cannot go back. You can never go back.

Couple more voices(rumored at least):

Spoiler

Mitsuru/Elizabeth's is your mother, Yuri Lowenthal is Yu-ichi.

Not surprised to see both of these names.
You do know they're a married couple, right?
