My copy is arriving on Saturday - it seems that the days of ordering on Amazon and occasionally getting games a day early has passed.

I was a fan of the base game and I don’t think the story was as bad as some people made it out to be. However I am excited for the new story that they are promising with the Vengeance route. Getting hyped up seeing the positive reviews coming through!

I have been replaying SMTIV:A this week in the run up to the release to keep me occupied. Had taken a detour into the Devil Survivor series most recently so it has been nice returning to the mainline gameplay.

What are you all thinking about the release this week? Any hopes for the new title? Fears?

    First impressions from anyone? I’ve only started it during my lunch break today so the plot has not deviated yet in the Vengeance route.

    Quality of life improvements do seem to be nice though.

    One small gripe I’ve got is that I thought that the demons you could carry over from a save on the original game would be selectable. However it just took my most recent save and grabbed the demons I had summoned at that time. These were some early-mid game demons because the save file was from NG+ where I’d only kept the compendium but not the demons themselves.
