I didn't want to clutter up what's mostly a Persona discussion thread talking about my time with this.

 

Assuming the synopsis of the experience when I booted this up is correct, I'm about 5/7, going on 6/7 the way through with this game.  I'm having a good time with the feats of Bunny Protagonist and His Gravity Defying Pals, to be honest. I'm not sure if it's because of the time management aspects that are a core part of what players will be doing here but I found the pacing to be pretty good. I grind a lot (or too slowly) but I don't really feel like you deal with any significant downtime in the story outside of that. Once things start picking up towards the end of the first day I think the game does a good job of staying interesting. 

 

The choices you have when interacting with all the characters you meet are a big part of what's made this a fun ride for me. And none of them really feel like cliches.

 

You have the reluctant best pal....

Okay.... maybe this is cliche. But it's fun, and interesting to learn about each character and the problems they have to deal with in this apocalyptic world. I didn't mention that, huh? The world got wrecked, on my mama cuh.

 

I should probably talk about the pretty dope demon auction really quick. It's kind of like a quick stop shop of demon gathering. Did I mention that this game has demons in it? It has demons in it. Anyway, the auction works really well when I want to build up my collection of demons very fast. They usually don't have optimal skill sets though so that's probably the main drawback. But still, nice variation from the usual demon negotiation you do in the main line Shin Megami Tensei games. It's addicting to spend time in there just so you can start bidding on special deal demons. 

 

So yeah, these are my scattered impressions of this game 66 hours of playtime later. Anybody with a 3DS who doesn't live in Europe should buy this right now.

 

I give it Fumi Kanno/10

Could you explain what a Fumi Kanno is? I want to add that term to my vocabulary. I am hoping it translates to handjob.

It's best to add words you don't know to your vocabulary for the added mystery. If someone asks what it means just hit them with the tried and true "Wouldn't you like to know."

I've heard a lot of good things about Devil Survivor 2, I think this is the time to finally really give it a shot.

Cool review/preview/dive-in, Reezy. From what I take from it, this game is essentially like a typical world of SMT while it becomes a blasted, demon-infested nightmare. 

 

The three enemy combat system also looks creative.

 

Anybody with a 3DS who doesn't live in Europe should buy this right now.

Yup. That's probably the most noticeable switch up of the usual story formula. You're not coming into this after whatever catastrophic event changed the world, you have to survive through that event.

Atlus is a cruel mistress. My condolences good sir. Well, at least there's a general release date of October 2015. You guys can join on the fun and hilarious times in four months time.

Captain's Log, Day Whenever This Is:

 

That last boss though? That last boss though.

 

So quick update now that I finally finished the first story. Great experience for sure. The last couple of battles can really test your ability to strategize. I believe a wise man once said "all battles are won before they are fought" or something like that. I think that holds true throughout but not keeping that in mind for the climax can bite you in the ass. Gotta keep countermeasures in mind to get through certain battles with the least amount of headaches. I learned that the hard way multiple times on the last two and a half days alone.

 

One another note, the social lin- I mean, Fate System Conversation Thingies is awesome. The main character can be such a troll.
