- Brand new 3DS game, NOT a remix
- Based on the SMTIV setting, the keyword is "Godslayer"

Wait, what? Isn't there already a SMT4? What is this? Like 4's "the Answer" just released as an expansion instead of a re-release + bonus a la FES?

It looks like SMT 4-2.

I don't know how I feel about SMT for angsty kids...

Looks cool.  Probably going to be a ton of re-use, but ps2 megaton games were like that and were fine.

Just hope there's better/longer dungeons this time around.

SJ had the best level design of any Megaten I've played.  4 was such a step down.  :fbm

To be fair, SJ was a straight up dungeon crawler so the dungeons had to be good!  SMT4 was an overworld, cities, rpg thing, so they got away with really short 2-3 screen dungeons + a boss.  The most disappointing part of SMT4 for me was when you started climbing the tower where the masked captives were being held and at first it felt like there'd be a real huge meaty tower dungeon...but then it was like 3 flights of stairs + 3 bosses and the dungeon was over.  That and the kind of weak story for SMT my main complaints with 4, otherwise liked everything else.  So hopefully this has better dungeons and story (though I'll be happy enough if it just has better dungeons).
