@Landon: It's even more upbeat and colorful than anything else Shin Megami Tensei. I might wrong, but something about anime characters dancing around to playful music certainly seems like it would appeal to a larger audience than silhouettes and typography. Then again this all based on my assumption that this stuff appeals to the broader anime fans at all.
@Zeik: That's why I said it was more the cut scenes (ski/beach trip, hot springs) that were about broadening the audience. Especially since those are the things that are easiest things to advertise to people who aren't already fans of the series. They definitely made P3 a game a lot more people could play but I think they're using P4's story and characters to further achieve that mass appeal. I guess it's more that P3 was successfully made with a broader audience in mind and P4 is just further iteration on that idea. Sort of like with Elder Scrolls.
