No, the UI is based on the PSX version. It has all of the conveniences that the PSX version has.
Nice to have confirmation on that! Will be buying this

Hopefully they give us SMTII as well.

I'm happy that were getting it finally released in English here after how long.it's been never released over here, kinda wish it was a better version that didn't have the GBA soundtrack. But I can still enjoy it, though my question is it only on the iphone or can I play it on the ipad too.
So is this the first time for the first SMT to be released in NA?
Yep, first time any of those games from that era made it here.
the SNES SMT1 and 2 have been fan translated, pretty damn good versions too imo, but I really am excited that this may lead to a localized version of SMT If...

This version is based on the GBA version. It isn't exactly fully emulated, but it's pretty faithful to it. The most disappointing thing about it is that the music is OGG files but it's recorded from the GBA version, they could have done it with the PSX version's music. Either way, it's much better than the SNES version, and this will become the version of SMT1 I recommend to English speakers in the future.
The app listing says it's compatible with both iPhones and iPads.
The GBA version is actually what I would call the definitive version of the game. The music isn't as nice, and it doesn't have smooth scrolling in dungeons, but it has other extras that are great, including the vision quests.
Also I would point out that the controls aren't that bad due to the kind of game this is. It's not like it's a top-down grid-based RPG with a virtual dpad. Since it's first-person, you just have to tap directions to move and it actually works out fine. For the record, I played and beat this version in Japanese.
Price?
It would be interesting if they ended up replacing the music. It shouldn't be that hard to do. I was thinking about doing it myself with the JP version, but it would rely on being jailbroken.The music in that trailer is the PSX one isnt it?
What's awful about first-person?
I hesitate to contradict you, because you definitely know your onions, but my understanding (and I just double-checked) is that the iOS version's music is indeed recorded from the PSX game's.
Experience the awful perspective and unfair difficulty now on your phone.
Whoa. This is one of the games for which I was about to break down and just English patch a ROM. Wonder if they plan to release the localization for any other platforms. Atlus has recognized a sustainable niche for MegaTen games overseas, particularly on PlayStation hardware and Nintendo handhelds. I guess that would have to happen with another general re-release of the game.
Anyway, I guess I was right to hold off on SMT4.
Is it completely turn-based?
That's excellent news. I bought the JP iOS version at release and it was the GBA version's. I wouldn't be surprised even if they changed that in an update to the JP version. I just haven't checked it out since back then.

WHY only iOS?
They need to put this on the PSN/eshop .

That explains it!According to the update notes BGM and sound effect quality were improved after release.

Tried to update my previous posts to reflect the music change. That's a pretty big deal and it addresses the main issue I had with this version from the start. I hope people don't get any misinformation based on what I said earlier.
This is cool, but I'm expecting it to cost way too much.

It might not make you ill because the scrolling is not smooth like it is in EO4. I'd say watch a video of SMT1 GBA and see how it feels.this is first person, right? is it nauseating at all, for those who are sensitive to it? i played the etrian odyssey 4 3ds demo and it made me ill. it sucks that i'm missing out on so many good games from the past.
Nice. I've been reading and watching videos about the wider SMT series recently, my only experience so far has been Persona. So this is perfectly timed.
$7.99, March 18, according to Christian Nutt.
