I feel a way deeper connection to the P3 cast, considering that Aigis and FeMC(sadness) are two of my favorite characters ever.

I've only played P3P male route and unfortunately the visual novel style didn't really work for me.

I love it, it's the reason I have replayed P3P several times, it was fresh to see P3 in another way and it pretty fast paced which is awesome for a handheld game.
On the other hand Persona 4 Golden is too similar to P4 and I haven't gone that far into that game. I should try again, but now I'm stuck playing Persona Q for a while.

How I'm going to balance playing this, Smash Wii U, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Dragon Age: Inquisition escapes me. But, fuck it, I'm in. Pre-order paid off and should arrive oh Thursday along with PKMN and Smash.

Yes, after the first dungeon you can have both MCs in a party together.
and since I don't think it got answered earlier, you can choose which navigator you want regardless of your starting party. You can also split the roles between dungeon crawling and battles, so you can use both Fuuka and Rise at the same time if you desire.
Oh, HELL YES.
Both MCs, Aki, Kanji, Junpei. Both navigators.
This is the best. of all time. ever.

If you want to get into EO, get EO4. I can't comment on PQ but EO4 is fantastic.
Touch fuzZy. get BizZay

Gonna wait patiently for my premium wild cards edition to arrive.
Well maybe not that patiently.
Thanks for this, Atlus. I won't need to talk to my relatives at all when I visit them for Christmas now.

Persona Q certainly has a better story than any EO title, because Etrian Odyssey games usually don't have one.

Every EO game has a story, they just aren't narrative heavy ones, I'm a big fan of almost every EO storyline so far.
I haven't played it but Persona Q is going to have to be really good to top EO3 story wise for me. I don't know anything about it but I'm expecting it to be a fanservice game and maybe even pull the lol it was a dream ending, so it migt not even get close.
The game has Aigis, so I know I'll love it no matter what but probably not as much as an EO title.

Still waiting for mine to show up. Should be here around lunch.
Can you switch between Fuuka and Rise for support? Rise is obviously #1, but Fuuka was pretty awesome too.
Strategically speaking if Rise allows you to move before enemies, that's great for short encounters. However in a prolonged fight healing is probably more beneficial, unless I'm missing a point of the battle system.
I can't remember which review I read - but it said to expect around 60 hours your first playthrough and if you go through again it should be significantly shorter.
This song is bananas!

I'm in Europe so I won't have my copy until Friday-Saturday (or even later...). This is easily the game I've been looking forward most to since it was announced
.
I'm still undecided to what my party will be, what MC I'll use my first playthrough and how much of a big dick g am I to play in risky or not as risky.
pah to Persona 5 and DAN, this is what I want

The tarot cards at least in the regular release are limited to the first print.
You could always buy digital from the eShop.
Yup, you can easily switch between them. There are 2 support slots actually (1 for Combat and 1 for dungeon crawling).
Actually, it's the other way around. Random battles won't require Rise's Spotlight ability since most enemies are slower than the PCs, and free healing from Fuuka is rather nice. On the other hand, the ability to move before bosses is invaluable. You can do all sorts of things like set up buff spells immediately (useful against heavier bosses), Power Charge on a slow fighter and guarantee they land a hit next turn, and even emergency heal if your healer is slower than the boss. They're also pretty useful against FOEs, since if you're not strong enough to fight one you can have all 5 of your PCs attempt to run away before getting rolled.

Can't wait to get off work today.
I'm going to pick the Persona 3 Protagonist route first. Not sure who I'm going to put in my party yet.

Will be tough to pick a party... most of my favorite characters belong in the front row (Chie, Junpei, Kanji, Akihiko). Also torn on which side to pick, I like the P3MC better but prefer the P4 side battle theme. Decisions decisions...
Anyone know if there are special party interactions? If I bring along Junpei and Yukari, or Chie and Yukiko, will I get special dialogue?
Oh well, I have a whole extra day to decide.

On the other hand, moving after enemies can have advantages too, since you won't get knocked out of boost state.

But you can get knocked out in the next round, unless you use Spotlight.

Picking this up at Best Buy on my lunch break 
Never played an EO before. Looking forward to seeing what this is all about!

Boost gives you the ability to move first the next round, so they don't have the chance to hit you.

Well that's highly disappointing. Might need to rig something to make it work, like making a foam insert for it. Right now my 3DSXL just bounces around inside my bag, so I was kind of excited to get a nice case for it.

Is there? That's awesome if so. I checked the add-on content tab and there didn't appear to be anything available just yet.
Glad to see this game starts the gameplay quicker than P3/4. I love those games but I just wanted to get right into the combat in this one and I'm already in the dungeon in less than an hour so I'm pretty happy. Never got into EO so I'm super excited to dig deeper into this.

Between this and Smash bros WiiU, retailers don't give a fuck about not breaking the street date, I was surprised to see both of them at a FNAC with Pokemon being available tomorrow.
And nice to see it at only 30 too. I think I'm going to start with the P3 cast, I hope thz game is good, never played an EO game before.

So it's vertical and not horizontal movement? Might be easier to fix with just a little additional padding if that's that case.
I imagine it'll be up in about 15 minutes, when the game is available on the eShop.
In cases where you can reliably boost against bosses/FOES, I still think Rise is the better choice because not everyone will be able to boost. The utility that Spotlight provides usually outweighs Fuuka's healing.
Yes, it's not as bad as that.
The shoulders are fairly safe.
There's even a little pouch in there (on the top), so you can stuff something soft in there to keep the system in place.
Actually, the top pouch can fit my phone (Galaxy Note 3).
