the UI screams STYLE

[@slickperspective2745]

When Japanese makes an RPG, there's always a TON of things to do in the game that made you glued to your seats.

[@thegoatishere5079]

That’s 2 much slit this into to two games that’s to much love

[@Gothenburg1]

It Feels like a futur classic

[@vindex7309]

Looks very SMT, incorporates Persona’s beautiful game flow, has Tales of Arise inspirations in mechanics, and a dash of Studio Ghibli and Akita Toriyama’s art style. What a mashup, but I’m really excited for this to get closer to launch.

[@Death-Sigil]

The mc looks like if Makoto Yuki and Aigis had a kid and cool to see Mitsuru and Yu Narukami join him as well.

[@NoobProMaster01]

The UI is so unique and art!

[@gfan003]

definitely Looking forward to this Game

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Looks great! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@1DangerMouse1]

This game looks awesome! Seeing these details bumps it up to maybe my most anticipated game this year!

[@grannys_sinister_corn_matrix]

hashino gets on stage to present interesting gameplay and a story that looks about as shallow as a puddle, which is about what I've come to expect from projects headed by him nowadays.

bro why is it only partially voice acted '-'

because its better focused on gameplay mechanism instead barebone gameplay with full voice acting, maybe you should watch movie instead

It's a big NO for me unfortunately, this thing about making everything fast paced so you don't get "bored" in dungeons equals a bunch of rooms with enemies, no interactivity, no puzzles, no nothing outside of fighting, it's a huge step back after P5 where Atlus finally built something fun... what a disappointment.
