    The most interesting thing to me is that it turns out the dungeons are people's hearts, which you're trying to steal. I had originally thought you were performing more traditional heists on, y'know, actual places. But this seems much more Persona-y.

    He also says that the decision to release the game on PS4 changed the scope of the project, as they decided releasing something so early in a console's lifetime (by Atlus' standards) meant that they should push for it to be as complete a package as possible, and claims that the game will have the most content of any game in the series in terms of play time.

    Honestly, my biggest worry about this game was that they'd have to cut back on the scope, so this is pretty reassuring. Longest game yet? Effin' A.

    "The dungeons are people's hearts, which you're trying to steal"

    The romances sure got more abstract.

    I love how passionate Japanese devs are - reminds me of indie culture but without the, uno, indie.

    I just hope their new take on s-links works well.
