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?
Last update: I am loving all of the new additions. They fixed everything I had gripes about and improved it beyond what I was hoping for. I love the classic trope of travelling with the chaos and law reps! The plot also deviates a lot - I’m level 53 and have been doing all the side quests, just about finished the (new) third area and the whole thing is coming together so nicely.
SMT4 is my favourite (and SJ 2nd) but I think 5 might be my 3rd favourite… we’ll need to see how it ends.
