Got a $50 eShop card for my birthday that I wanted specifically for this game. Will download tomorrow.
Liked Overclocked but never played 2 because I was waiting for a 3DS remake. It has finally come. Finally. Fucking finally.

Spoilers for the end of the first scenario:
The new scenario is based on a mix of Saiduq's Kingmaker ending and Daichi's Triumphant
ending (his full ending).

Yeah, looked it up. Honestly, though, based on the description, it could still be canon with the Saiduq route given that the decision to rewind the akashic record could have happened after the new world was created once they realized how fucked the world would be without doing so

I was hoping someone would post that image in here. Can't wait to get off work tomorrow.
It's something different than the Free Battles, though I can understand the trepidation considering this is already a $50/$60 game. I had access to it and didn't use it all that much, though.
(Disclaimer: I reviewed the game for Nintendo World Report - 8/10)

Not familiar with Daichi's. Figured it would've been based off the Yamato/Law ending. At least we get the Saiduq one.
Well, they are optional. Be as gross as you want and don't knock the people that wish to partake.

game's good, but, story/cast-wise, not as good as the first one...
After playing DS1 Overclocked, it was kinda hard to then play the original DS2 because of the ugly, tiny font.
I'm also really looking forward to having multiple save slots!
I'd say better in terms of gameplay, worse in terms of story/characters.

Am I the only one who really liked Psyduck's ending to wrap up the story and bring it to a better level than DS1?

Are there animated cutscenes other than Intro?
Edit: are the graphics updated in any way?

I figured there'd be no dual audio based on Overclock, but still pretty bummed out about it, since I absolutely love the Japanese cast for AO, Yamato, Fumi, and Keita.
Will definitely get this when it goes on sale. Love customizing demons.

does this mean that I can finally skip whole events instead of fast forwarding text? This was a serious problem for me in the original DS games and Overclocked. I'd be thrilled if they fixed this.

settings say message skip is R + Y
just tried it now and nope, only fast forwards the text. don't see any other option to skip the whole event

Wonder if it's a NG+ thing. Bummer if we can't skip whole scenes during replays.

Will you settle for chucking them at the Oreimo cast?
Any reason why not to do digital for this?

So, I've never played the first.....would that be an issue picking this one up?
No, it's self contained. Get it! (Get the first one too though it's a great game)

Oh cool! I'm really interested cause it looked like a perfect mix of SRPG and traditional SMT combat.

Wait. They re-translated the script? Why? What did they change?

Amazon shipped my physical copy a few hours ago. I wish I could transfer my save from digital to cart copy of the game to save space on my memory card lol. Either way great OT. Can't wait to get tico tico on my laptop :3

I got free shipping from Amazon so I wont be getting my copy for another few days but I'm actually OK with that. I actually don't plan to play this for quite awhile because I already beat the original on DS and have quite a few other games stealing my attention at the moment.
None the less I'm super excited for this because I love the Devil Survivor series. I played the hell out of Overclocked, even more so then the original, so I cant wait to do the same for Record Breaker.
I personally loved just about everything about DS2 over DS1, especially the character designs. Only thing slightly weaker is the story because it is kind of similar to the first one.

On the overall package, no doubt DS2 is better than the original. Larger compendium, additional post-game content and little more interaction between the cast are some of the improvements added to DS2. But I prefer DS1 on the story part and the branching paths, so each game on the Devil Survivor Series have their own selling points.
That said, can't wait to play the new story added to Record Breaker.

I LOVED DS1. Can't wait for DS2 to come to EU.
The game is better than I remembered it ever was. Loving every second.
I loved DS1 for that story and everything it did, but something about this game always seems to grab me. I don't like it better, but then sometimes I do? I don't know.

yea, this definitely pushed me to wait even longer before buying. godmode + paytowin pushed the game into cheap experience territory.

This is a single player game. If you want to play on Apocalyptic you're free to do so and to ignore the DLC and you'll literally be harmed in no way at all. Its not like there's an online leaderboard showing who beat the game fastest or with fewest deaths. There's not even any special content in the DLC (unlike SMT IV), the extra demons are Spotpass not DLC.

Wonder if this will be the last SMT game Atlus will release for the 3DS?

Can you skip enemy animations during battles?
I'm looking forward to some impressions, I held out on buying DeSu 2 because of this! Can't wait until Autumn 2015 haha... :l
Overclocked was re-translated too. Yeah, I think it's because they had to fully voice it now and they felt like certain things wouldn't work well said out loud. From the comparisons I've seen I tend to prefer DeSu 1's original script though, but it's not that big of a deal.
