In the next month or two there's going to be a minor flood of niche RPGs released for the PS2. Being that they'll have relatively small print runs, it would probably be easier to pick them up sooner rather than later. Between Atelier Iris, Digital Devil Saga, and Stella Deus, which are actually worth the full price of admission?

Pickin' up DDS and Stella Deus. Probably gonna pass on Atelier Iris.
I've heard from various sources that Nippon Ichi doesn't really give a shit about the quality or accuracy of their localizations, so I'm gonna pass on buying any of their games. I refuse to support companies that insist on remaining in the stone age when it comes to bringing titles over from Japan.
In the interest of full disclosure, i loved Nocturne and the Persona games, so i already have DDS pre-ordered.
I'm really just curious as to the quality of Atelier Iris and Stella Deus, because i know if i don't pick them up right away, i'm going to have some trouble finding them later.

Wild Arms next month may be a low print run. I'm probably going to get that since I think Atlus is distributing it, not SCEA. So it may be a lot more harder to find. Thats probably it for me. DDS sounds like its tough and therefore, not for me.

That means its probably going to be even more tough to find. I imagine someone will pick up Wild Arms 4, whether it be SCEA, Atlus, or Agetec. I enjoyed the third one.

I liked it, but then again I have low standards.
Anyway, here's the official site that went up recently. The gameplay part hasn't been updated yet, but it does have alot of other info.

DDS is challenging but because it's challenging it's also very satisfying. Story is really really interesting so you should give it a try at least. If you don't like it you can sell it used in a couple of months when it becomes rare.
Unless of course you hated the gameplay of SMT3, then I wouldn't bother with DDS.
and Atelier is still shrinkwrapped in my backlog, so that's why I can't speak for it.

I found it pretty damn good; there's not anything even close to "A Winner is You" bad in it.
SMT: DDS; check.
Atelier Iris; probably.
Stella Deus: OMGWTF Sakimota and Iwata doing the OST for another SRPG!!!!!!111 Er, I mean, check. :lol

Can't speak for the other games, but I'm really enjoying Digital Devil Saga right now. Got my press copy in last week, ended up pulling an all-nighter Saturday night playing it.
Its's also been kind of funny watching people's reactions to the character design. My g/f nearly flipped when she saw one of my party member's boobs start to roar and growl during her transformation.

I still haven't finished Nocture. But I will. And so I will get DDS as I love these games.

I don't think I ever *got* SMT's battle system. I went
right up to the first fight with Dante and kept getting my ass kicked, so I pretty much stopped there.
Yeah, that's it.
