Can't wait!

I knew it was on 3DS, another million for Nintendo.

I don't like how the battles are, but I'll just have to live with it.

looks awesome

O_O

 

I am amazed. I can't wait!

I wish they had used Nocturne's battle view instead of the Classic. That's a waste of the Graphical potential. Otherwise it looks promising.

Has it just been announced for 3DS now? Because I've known for a while...that'd be weird.

I want Persona 5 http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png im not saying this isn't good.

This game is going to be a must-have for the 3ds

I like Persona better. More modern.

This was the first trailer. It was announce some time ago.

Kind of wish the whole game was in first person like in SMT1,2, and Strange Journey.

 

At least I know I won't be disappointed (as if Atlus ever disappoints :V).

Hmm... Looks interesting. I've never played a game in this series, but maybe I'll try it out (that is, if the story isn't overarching across all the games).

Well it's matter of opnion.. My favourite was Persona 3, but this looks pretty damn awesome too

The game is going back to it's roots, and I'm loving what they are developing so far. Hopefully there a lot of content in it.

Shin Megami Tensei IV is announced to release May 23rd in Japan according to a Famitsu report.

 

Also a limited edition 3DSXL will be available on the same date with SMT IV pre-installed. Pictured below:

This is awesome. I also hope they'll plan SMT IV for for an international release. Cannot wait for more news on it.

i. WANT. THAT. 3DS!

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to worry about Atlus not localizing it. lol

That is one sexy console.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to worry about Atlus not localizing it. lol

I'm not worried about it. I see it as most likely happening and am hoping for it to happen.

I love the Shin Megami Tensei games and I can't wait for this game to come out.

Now if there was at least a small notice about Persona 5 I would be very happy

The box art is revealed:

Edit:

A new trailer was shown at Nintendo Direct earlier today

It was also said at the Nintedo Direct that there will be over 400 types of demons in this game.

I think the game is already looking amazing and over 400 demons is definitely great.

 

Edit (2/22/2013):

 

A field video for SMT IV has been released as well as short conversation clips between the samurai characters

 

I gotta say the fields look pretty good.

 

Edit (2/23/2013):

A number of other character videos were shown including the black samuraai. due to the video limit however, I can only provide a link.

Edit (2/26/2013):

Shin Megami Tensei IV will have a multiple story and ending system similar to that of Shin Megami Tensei III. Atlus has also made it so that you can change the difficulty level mid-dungeon and allows you to save or load anywhere.

Edit (3/1/2013):

Two downloadable costumes from the game have been revealed:

The equipment screen has been shown and equipment changes the character's appearance. Equipment is divided into swords, accessories, head armor, body armor and leg armor.

Update:

Normally in SMT games you have to click in and out of the fusions to see what outcomes you can make. In SMT IV however, the game will give a recommended fusion option to make things easier. You can still use the usual fusion method though. As with other SMT games you will be able to buy demons back from your demon compendium.

Update:

The game will feature over 100 challenge quests and some mission requests from demons. There will also be a feature named the Digital Devil Service (DDS) where you can interact with other players via streetpass. You can create a profile card and select a demon to develop. After enough street passes the demon will grow and you can even get items for it. You can also do a special kind of fusion with other players.

Also something not really noticed much before is an interesting fact concerning the limited edition 3DS.

on one side looking at it you would see demons:

But if you flip it over you will see angels:

A pretty cool little detail about this 3DS that makes it even better imo.

Updating:

We have a new trailer:

 

Also in Japan launch copies of the game will include a sound and art collection. No word on if the same offer will be in it's international release.

 

The soundtrack CD will have eight tracks:

 

Prelude I 

Prelude II 

Prelude III 

Hallucination I 

Hallucination II 

Overture 

SDDS IV 

Reincarnation

That remix of the Fiend battle theme from Nocturne / the character naming screen in SMTII in the new trailer sounds so good. @_@
