Might be kind of sparse if FE's treatment was any indicator.
Anyway, buy it. Better, harder battles. Multiple endings. Good stuff.

Is anything in the game actually time sensitive? Early challenge quest spoilers:
Is this purely a story concept? I assume it is, the first training seemed to be.
like early on that guy pulls the first 3 quests from the board on the 2nd day of training and says they should race to see who finishes them first

Download, or wait till Thursday and possibly find the bonus version with all the cool stuff...would it be easy to find without pre-ordering?
How big is the game to download?

David is level 19 in battle, 22 as a fusable demon. Mother Harlot is encountered in a quest, but I think it's NG+ only. The other Fiends are random encounters in some certain areas of the game, and they're all level 80+. You can fight the 4 riders in a single quest, but you can only fuse them after finding and fighting them individually.

Mainline SMTs are rarely subtle about alignments - just agree with everything Isabeau says and try to seek compromise.

I'm trying the best I can haha. But it seems Jonathan and Walter react excessively strongly at points to the little things. It's kind of scary actually haha. Bunch of extremists right off the bat haha.
May be hard to find, maybe not. But definitely go with the physical version because of the items you get with them. No point in paying the same price in digital to get just that. I just received my DLC code from Amazon, can't wait for it to get here tomorrow!!!
The Strategy and Design Book that comes with the first print is pretty nice. I'd have liked to seen more Design as opposed to the Strategy section but it's a bonus after all. Listening to the mini soundtrack and the tunes and I'm liking it. Some nostalgic tracks. Feels very SMT~
Ahh hmm, that's kind of disappointing. I was hoping I'd be able to make them as I played through the game. Oh well.
Easiest way would be
sticking to one path most of the game, then choosing the other in big story splits (you'll know when it happens). HOPEFULLY you'll get it, but I'm not entirely sure how much each decision affects your alignment, since it varies.

The digital version is 14337 blocks????
Retail it is, see you guys Thursday.

You can only pick Easy or Normal from the beginning (actually, easy requires dying to unlock). Though ignoring negotiation will probably lead to issues in both cases.
I'd rather have issues than deal with that system ever again in a game unless it makes the game basically unplayable (if it does going right back to gamefly).

Guys...I'm doing this wrong.
Might be a while before I get to SMTIV.

Still on the fence about getting SMT 4, GAF convince a Persona fan
Be your true series.
Umm... honestly you might as well not even play the game if you want to avoid negotiation.

I think its just story.
Should be 1.75gb.
I don't think you're going to get very far in this if you refuse to talk to demons.
In fact, one of the first tutorial parts requires you to recruit a demon, so...
I wanted to level up some of my lower level demons so I hope so.
Also, does anyone know what kind of levels demons evolve at? Saw it in the book but I didn't know about it (stayed kind of in the dark on the game actually). Is it worth it to keep early demons for their evolution or is that more end-game stuff?
You'll get your ass handed to you. Enjoy!
Keep Angel.
All demons of that race evolve into the next rank.
My copy shipped earlier today

Hrmm. I was really hoping character development would be a bit more gradual. Wonder if they'll mix political ideology with cosmological philosophy like they did in Devil Survivor 2, what with the class struggle at the center of Mikado. Please don't answer that question, for those of you currently playing. =)

There are a few challenge quests that you will lose access to if you progress the story too quickly, but they are fairly late in the game, and you should be able to tell when is the last point you can turn them in.
As far as I can tell you won't be able to tell which demons are able to evolve unless they've learned all their skills. Even then it may be several level ups until they actually do evolve. So you may want to consider excluding those demons from fusion searches if you want to see their evolved forms.
If the actual comparison was the Darksouls of Persona I would buy 20 copies of this game
:lol
I can't wait to play the Dark Souls of Persona.
My copy shipped just in time!
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed that I waited so long for a sequel to Nocturne* only to find that it absolutely can't stand up to Kaneko's art. Ah well, it's hard to live up to one of the all-time greats. Now I'm mostly curious to see how the 2D animation compares to the old 3D models.
*Strange Journey doesn't count, does it?

I'll try to do that the best I can. What about choices in sidequests like
after defeating Long at the lake. He asks if demons are beasts to be slain or gods of the land

Yes, some sidequest questions change alignment.
