I've never actually played an SMT game before, so this will be a whole new experience for me. My only real experience with Atlus is the Trauma titles for Wii/DS, and that was only watching my sister play (or watch them herself I guess, they seemed to be heavily text-based). The main reason I'm getting it is the upcoming Fire Emblem / SMT crossover game for Wii U, since I'm a big enough FE fan that buying that game is pretty much inevitable, and I'd like to know a little bit about this universe before jumping in.
All the stuff I've read so far makes it sound crazy interesting though. The reviews seem really good too. It seems like it's really long and really in-depth, and the combat system sounds really challenging.
I suppose since these games are targeting Japanese fans first (I assume), putting it on a handheld makes sense. The 3DS has already outsold the PS3 in that region, and seems to be the popular gaming device over there right now. It might make a console appearance later though....who knows. Though, since I'll be going on a camping trip next month, it'll be nice to have this to kill time on that long drive.
Yup. Attention JRPG fans. You guys MUST play SMT series. Go check it out. Its really successful in Japan but not in the West because there's not much exposure.
