Man, it's good to see all the tweaks and fixes to the UI and the game overall in comparison to P3. A save point in the classroom, a SaGa esque button that lets you exit an area without having to directly go to the exit!? FFS YES!
Loving it so far, they managed to make the battles even more stylish than in P3 (as if that was possible) with good camera angles. This game is so fucking awesome. I was very close to turn it off at the beginning with that long-ass intro, because I was really getting tired of it. Once you get into
and start dungeon crawling, I was like "OMG FINALLY"
I like the changes to the battle system, I leave the AI on for normal battles to speed up the process then manually control the party for bosses. Using Guard command to defend against a weakness is an interesting change.
So far, this is another R&D1 homerun. Man are these guys on a roll or what, only Devil Summoner was disappointingly mediocre, the rest of their games has range from good to zomg. What an awesome development team.

Gamespot Review: 9/10, Editor's Choice.
The Bad
* Poor camera when dungeon-crawling
* Lots of reused shadow and personae artwork.
The Good
* Multiple themed dungeons to explore
* Fun and engaging combat
* Great cast of realistic characters
* Social links directly influence combat performance
* Character stats have a strong effect on actions.

Okay, I'll admit I momentarily forgot that bit of Junpei greatness. I still think I'm gonna end up liking Yosuke slightly more though. I realized on this second session that part of that could be due to what I feel is improved writing in general. These sound like real high school students with the plethora of "dudes" and other slang being dropped. Don't get me wrong, I still believe the characters and story in Persona 3 are top notch, but the dialogue here feels a little more appropriate.
In addition, I'm really digging the way each characters Persona manifests itself. It's been very effective with adding some depth and dimension to your party members from the get go. I feel it's yet another improvement, since character development was somewhat of a slow burn in P3. A wonderful burn, but slow nonetheless.
EDIT: Also, I'm not sure if anyone's aware yet but the new Retronauts is all about SMT!

- You can buy items in the store that warp you back to the hub room.
- When you re enter a dungeon, you can continue from the highest floor you reached.
- Mini bosses do not have save points before them, but big bosses do. They are standard save points.
- Stairs go back to previous floors, too.

I don't know how much you know about world history, I'm an expert.
Anyway, it reminded me of that epic Square meltdown on here.
Also, I should be studying for finals. I'm fucked so bad now.

BTW, really enjoying the family S. Links. They're pretty damn fleshed out and realistic.
About to go on the school trip, the girls are apparently going to make the most messed up Curry recipe ever. They're picking almost everything to put in there!
.... and I was right!

I like the music that plays when it's cloudy.
Got the game yesterday. Gamestop didn't have my artbook when I picked it up, and I was told to call again today. Surprise, not there today either. Might not ever be. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I'm going to get a hold of the damn thing. I thought this GS was good for preorder items, I haven't missed one yet, including when I got the Eternal Poison art book.
In other news, the game is pretty awesome, though I've had little time to play it (soon, though). Very long time between starting the game and finally being able to move around town, but at least the setup was interesting (also, at least the game doesn't knock you out for a week worth of gametime at the start like P3 did).

They probably phrased this to allude to that Square meltdown. Atlus keeps up on Internet happenings pretty well, I've noticed.vas_a_morir said:

People called Romanes they go the house?
The conversations with Nanako always make me go "aww"
Mad props, Nich (and all the rest, of course). Been a while since a game has done that.
And this game is hella addicting, it's got that one more minute mentality hitting perfectly.
