A handful-- like Minotaur--are worthy of the series' aesthetic, some are okay, while the other half are total awful garbage. Still a big disappointment.
I still don't quite know what to think of the lion-ant thing.
Well, it is what it's supposed to be! And that's the big problem with a lot of the new designs, that they don't reflect the figure they are supposed to represent.
@eirikr: I didn't know that you were one of those people that disliked the comparisons so much.
I'm really not, and I'm very happy to point out the differences to people who are legitimately confused between the two series. The comments about Persona that always show up in any SMT thread here do get a bit annoying, though. And I'm not sure who made this macro, and as @zeik said maybe it's just trolls, but if it is they did a pretty good job imitating the tone of comments I actually see. For example, @pepsiman has had a wonderful series on tumblr of ignorant comments on his SMT IV trailer subtitle videos.
You can't explore towns in the same way as Persona. the town is basically just a menu you navigate through to visit different areas and shops.
This not true for the whole game.
And yes, this game does not have social elements because Persona and Shin Megami Tensei are very different things and god damn you Atlus for ever using the SMT branding on Persona
@bocam: Haha, did people really spell his name in all-caps like that? Even though that's how it is in official materials, he was always meant to be a Stephen Hawking analogue, so this makes more sense.
It's like how Lucifer's human form should be spelled Cyphre instead of Cypher since it's a movie reference.
@bocam: His presence isn't exactly a spoiler, so spell it out, my English copy won't be around for a bit. I was also told that certain people might rage over how a "certain character's" name was spelled, and I had a feeling it was going to be him.
