Huh, looks like Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a DS game that seems to be using Etrian Odyssey's game engine.

Hooray, first person exploration!

I was hoping for a console SMT4, but you know what? I've been wanting an EO-engine SMT since...I first played EO, so I'M QUITE DOWN WITH THIS. \o/

Well, I didn't figure they'd give the next mainstream SMT game a subtitle, especially "Strange Journey". At least, not until the revision comes out a few months later to embellish more of the plot and add in stupid hard dungeon areas.

This game has a few things in its favor though! First person exploration, a return to the classic Megaten form, the main character's suit looks more than a little bit like Dead Space's main character, and it's not a cell phone game. I am excited.

Yeah. I wasn't sure whether I bought the Strange Journey thing when it was first leaked, though, since nobody I'd seen leaking it was actually able to say anything about the reliability of the Japanese blog.

But the number of scans I've seen tonight looks like way too much effort to be faked, so I guess we have the real deal. I'm excited. X3
