This one definitely has my interest and attention, I might give the demo a shot once my backlog clears a little (I have so many atlus games to play). By then, there will hopefully be a sale, but yeah the game looks interesting, dark, and like my kind of fantasy story. Will certainly keep an eye on it.
I very much support demos, so I may download this on that basis, but to be honest, I'm not interested in playing it. Super not interested in anything remotely Persona-like, right now, and I don't like the art style...it looks so 90s. Like a cross between Persona and Basara.
Plus Atlus is a stinker of a company and I don't want to support them.

Would you elaborate? Is it because they left the FeMC out of the P3 Reload Remake? Or is it because of all the re-releases? Or does it have something to do with something that some of the people working for Atlus like Katsura Hashino said or the content of the games themselves? Or all of that maybe?
It's their policy of releasing a game, and then re-releasing it as a NEW game a year or two later, when it's the same game with what amounts to some DLC, for full new game price, forcing anyone who wants to play all the content to buy the game twice, wasting both our money and our time, since you have to start the game over again to play the 'new' version with the additional content.
If I ever buy another Atlus game, it will ONLY be years after initial release, when all the content is in the final version AND it's on sale.
But I think the better way to not support them (and thereby support their practices) is to not purchase anything at all from them, so I probably won't. They don't respect my time or my money, so I'm not letting them have either.

I'm skipping it for now. While I love the looks, concepts, and gameplay, I both don't have the time for an Atlus RPG right now and I've made it a habit these to only buy games I really, REALLY want day one. This game will be 50% by mid next year. I can wait.
it looks great. the snappy, stylish ui has all the hallmarks of the persona team's visual sense, but the soundtrack and gameplay are very clearly rooted in megaten... even still i just cannot justify getting it at its steep price. so i'm with the others here on sitting out on it, perhaps until quite a good while of time has passed and the 'honeymoon' phase with this game wears out.
I was on the fence for this game. I know I was going to get it eventually but I've got plenty to do already (not to mention that I'm still working on Persona 3 Reload's The Answer DLC on the little free time I got) so I figure it could wait a bit. Then, my best friend played it and I watched it and I'm sold. I'm grabbing a copy whenever I find one in a store.
