Kind of totally bummed it's half-effort/half-assed SMT4.

They put the effort and budget it to do real 3d dungeons.

But then the battles are 2d using the Strange Journey sprites and the story scenes are 2d cutouts and anime scenes instead of 3d cutscenes.  I wonder if the only character model in the entire game that's rendered in 3d is the MC.

Disappointed battles are first person considering the actual third person gameplay looks awesome. The first person battles doesn't really look like it remotely fits the game or its art style. You can tell they're forced to go a really cheap route.

Well, it's not like they have the power of a real console like the Vita to work with.

Not sure why they didn't just port the PS2 demons over instead of the SJ ones.  Even EO4 has 3d enemies!

Not feeling it.

The 3D world and 2D battles looks incredibly jarring.

They should stick to one style (SMT3 or old school).

I'll still buy and enjoy it, but yeah it looks weird right now.

dunno. looks like something I could live without. Making a mental note to pick it up when I get a 3DS in five or so years.

Notice how the character designs are way way anime now. Did they ask Kaneko to anime it up?!

2d sprites and 3d dungeons is the best of both worlds.  People who disagree are mentally ill.

I also prefer it becasue 3d enemies would mean it has to load them, this just makes combat faster.  I hated the original persona because everything took so long and the combat takes so long.

I agree it'll be faster, but not much faster considering how fast SMT3 already was. It just looks weird having a 3d main character and characters but have 2d sprite demons. Feels incredibly lazy but beggars can't be choosers.

Game looks great besides that, the generic looking character designs, and the generic anime voice acting.
