“To an extent, there will be some downloadable content that is connected to the main story, but we made it to where everything essential is concluded with the main story alone,” Yamai replies. “There aren’t any direct answers to some mysteries, but for example, there will be hints that will get you thinking about information A and B, which will conclude with information C when you put the two together.”
“Furthermore, I believe that using downloadable content to complete a story for a game that the players paid for, is quite rude, and something we wish to never do.”
-------------------------
That being said, some of the DLC are boss fights, and it appears that this week's will be the first (possibly only) one that might connectc to the narrative in any meaningful way.

I don't think these games have "true endings" really. I thought true endings were exclusive to the Persona spin offs.
I only assumed that because in an interview with siliconera, a guy said that the neutral was the hardest path. Also, didn't SMT 1 have a true end because SMT 2 takes place after a certain ending left off. I am probably wrong though

?
The localized version still has the Japanese kanji? Not that I care much,
Well, since every Megaten game in the US has Shin Megami Tensei written across the top, it would be pretty redundant to have it say
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI IV
I think having the kanji looks stylish.
Ugh I cant wait >.<
The title screen has more visible kanji than English lol

Dunno about SMT1 or SMT2. Strange Journey had Neutral as one of the harder routes, but that didn't make it a true ending.
Devil Survivor spinoffs also made Neutral one of the hardest routes, but again, not true endings. I think it is just SMT tradition to make neutral the toughest route because you piss off both heaven and hell.

Well if you take SMT2 into consideration then yes, the law route is the true ending of SMT1.
It doesn't? Well I guess I must have gotten mixed up, sorry
Oh... oh my. That music is pretty great as well. I mean REALLY good. I just want to keep listening to it.
I did not think my hype could get higher. I was wrong!
E3 was so worth it this year if only just for this.
Just need a frame. Maybe something custom.
Darn it, I can't even win it like others!
Because it looks good and isn't overproduced
Also is based Laura Bailey in this game?
I was just thinking the same thing, especially the bubbles when the characters talk (versus the name over a box) making it comic-book like, and the use of yellow and black for a lot of the aspects of in-game user interfaces. Loving it.
To be fair, I always skip the intro because it's useless.
Nocturne's title screen was insane and that's what made it great, not the intro itself.
IV's title screen is meh to me. Perhaps it would change when you progress into the game? The music is awesome though...
Those are good as well but I think the simple style fits the black/white color scheme
I know it's just a title screen, but Nocturne's was so damn good that I have to agree. This one just pales in comparison.

Godamn I I just can't wait any longer. The longest 5 days lie ahead.
Music is very awesome, title screen is ok (digging the pure black and white) but Nocturne's two attract modes were what really grabbed it for me...and i'm hoping IV has something just as cool.
I mean Title Loop 2 let you know you were in for something awesome. Loop 1 was pretty cool too.

Goddam that's a beautiful sight! O.O
I just want the game already!!!!
Ha, ha! Yeah, their expression kinda captures my initial reaction to seeing that box of LEs. Mmm...mama!

Apart from some gameplay vids and soundtrack snippets, I was on a total media blackout for this game. I knew that I'd buy it anyway.
I've always thought that the person on the right side of the cover is totally a girl. And then I see you calling 'her' Jonathan.
Mind blown.

My wife just preordered this game. She's a Persona fan but this will be her first SMT game I'm excited for her.
I'm excited for her.They are 2D artwork/sprites with some animation.
If you're asking if they are using the 3DS's 3D.. then probably. lol
2D Sprites.
If it's the same as the Japanese CD, which is likely, tracks 1-3 are rearranged versions of the openings of SMTI, II and III. Tracks 4 and 5 are rearranges of the Law and Chaos themes from SMTI. Track 6 is the music that played on the first SMTIV trailer (the one on the Japanese copies of SH). Track 7 is SMTIV's main theme. Track 8 is an organ version of all the Cathedral of Shadow themes, almost 10 minutes long.
Thanks! Really wished they were 3D models this time around considering the game.
Oh well. :/

It's a few remixes from the IV OST and some original music. It's eight tracks.
Cool, Cathedral of Shadows medley should be perfect for accidentally reading the creepy/paranormal thread in off-topic at 2 in the morning...>_> dont recommend it lol.
The upside is that the dungeon areas (cities too?) are full 3D, and they can display a ton of enemies in one battle.

Yus. The dungeons are of course 3D, as is all of Tokyo.

Dang I wish I had that. I have the ebten dx special edition wall scroll that came with my japanese game, but I wish I had a poster of the main art like that for my wall as well.
You! I know you!
I just hope Best Buy sends mine out early. :3

Generally more aggressive and in some cases they'll just jump up from the top of buildings or appear bellow you.
It's not impossible to avoid them most of the time though.

Depends on the situation. But without going into spoilers, there is difficultly in avoiding enemy's and such many times in the game.

Pretty much what ZenComp said, though there are points when they ambush you, already hostile from the start. You gotta have quick fingers to avoid a pre-emptive strike.

I think it's the way the camera tilts or zooms to draw attention to another character when he speaks. It somehow makes it seem more dynamic or something. (It does the same thing when you finish off enemies with skills in battle, too)

I just stumbled upon one of the DLC-only themes while browsing Youtube and it's so fricking goooddd. I might buy the DLC just to listen to it officially.
