User questions & answers

Question:	does this work with the european version of the 3DS, i need to know so i can pre_order
Answer:	3DS is region locked, so you will need to order the European version. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Megami-Tensei-Strange-Journey-Nintendo/dp/B077NH85H8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517936237&sr=8-1&keywords=shin+megami+tensei+strange+journey&dpID=511RDZXCQXL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Question:	Will this have a special edition
Answer:	Only in Japan, I believe.
Question:	What style of game is this
Answer:	This is a first person dungeon crawling, monster collecting, Japanese Role Playing game.
Question:	Are there any other games i need to play in order to properly understand the story
Answer:	To add on to what others have said, I'll be a bit more specific. For the main series, SMT 1 and 2 (old SNES games) are connected, but self-contained enough that you can play the second without the first. The same for Persona 1 and 2, I believe, a sub-series of SMT that branched into its own thing. SMT 3 and IV (4) are separate basically entirely. You won't even see references to each other. SMT IV also has a direct sequel that bounces off where one of the optional endings goes, changing it entirely; that one is called SMT IV: Apocalypse. IV is good for context, but on a similar note isn't a requirement if you are saving money. SMT IV: Apocalypse also has DLC that brings all of the alternate universes together, with SMT 1, 2, 3 and IV's protagonists coming together to beat the game's hardest boss. Now Strange Journey, to my knowledge, was planned as a mainline SMT game (like 1, 2, 3 and 4), but sort of became a spin-off. It plays like the others, but has its own self-contained story. Persona 3, 4 and 5 are all in the same universe and have small nods to each other here and there, usually in the form of a character or two meeting each other. Nothing crucial. Persona 1 and 2's characters are referenced in Persona 3, but it's unclear if it's just references or the same universe. ...hope that isn't too confusing. Long story short, you can get away with playing just about any of the SMT games without touching the others. Even the spin-off titles don't really require it. I hope you enjoy the series. They are all fantastic games.

The Persona series, renowned for its caliber of high-quality storytelling, gameplay scenarios, and worldly views, is unlike any other. And Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth will be the first RPG in the Persona series since 2008. The most recent in the series is Persona 4, which was so popular it spawned several spin-off titles and still has one of the most fervently loyal fanbases to date. Persona Q also draws on the Etrian Odyssey series, with its own growing core of engaged gamers drawn to its unique playability and map-making mechanic. Persona Q takes the best parts of these two long-running RPG series and creates a monumental new experience for the Nintendo 3DS.

• First Persona title ever to be on a Nintendo platform - Users will roam through a 3D labyrinth and use the system's touchscreen to chart their course, marking dangers, treasures, and more along the way.
• More of what Persona Fans Want - One of the most popular aspects of the Persona games are the stories behind the characters, and Persona Q provides new depth and insight on two games' worth of beloved characters!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it worth getting this game without any prior knowledge to the persona series? I never played any persona game and was considering getting it
Answer:	Prior knowledge will slightly help you enjoy the jokes between the different characters and certain interactions may spoil the ending of persona 3 for you; however, the canonicity of this game is debatable and in my personal opinion its perhaps the perfect blend of two major franchise games. Not having previously played the series will not detract from what makes this game great, but it can sort of spoil the ending for one. In retrospect I recommend getting this game just for its amazing gameplay, comedy, and (retracted due to spoilers).
Question:	Do I need to play Persona 3 & 4 to understand the story
Answer:	It has its own story line, but you would enjoy the game much more if you play 3 and 4. This is a fan service with good game mechanics.
Question:	Is this price correct? Why is this game $10 more than normal
Answer:	Some games require more space, due to things like audio and video files. When the space required for those would exceed the space for the standard 3ds cartridges, it requires a high-density 3ds cartridge. The games typically cost 10 dollars more, to cover the costs of the more expensive cartridge.
Question:	Do the Tarot Cards do anything? Are they used for AR with the 3DS/2DS camera
Answer:	No they're just a set. There's another persona game that has the rest of the tarot cards.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there gonna be a collectors edition
Answer:	The pre-order bonus offer IS the Collector's Edition if I'm not wrong. It comes in a special box along with the sound track CD.http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/17/conception-ii-collectors-edition-announced-nintendo-3ds-vita/
Question:	Hey im thinking of buying this game but im a little worried to. is the main story long and is there alot of extra stuff to do after the story
Answer:	depends. it advises you can take as much time as you want. so you can go through as fast or as slow as possible and there is multiple endings so it does have a good replay ability.
Question:	How likely is this game to be sold out/out of stock if I want to pre-order it later since I still want to be able to get the pre-order bonus
Answer:	I don't think this is kind of game that will have a ton of pre-orders, except for people that really have researched or know the game. It is one of those games that will probably be hard to find a physical copy after it's been released because it won't really be re-stocked. It'll be one of those games that about a month or two after it comes out, will probably have a jacked up price on Amazon , available on the e-shop and not on store shelves. But if you're planning to pre-order in say March/Early April it should be fine.
Question:	Where is Conception
Answer:	It was a PSP game that never got localized, but far as I know there are independent stories so we're free to buy this one without any problem.

Story

The kingdoms of Alistel and Granorg are at war. As a result, terrible things have happened and will continue to happen - things that may even threaten the fabric of the overarching world of world of Vainguer. This war must be won, ended, or both and Stocke is the one chosen to make it so. Stocke is an agent in the Special Intelligence division in the kingdom of Alistel. Beyond his skill with a blade, he is entrusted with a miraculous tool, the White Chronicle. This amazing book allows him to see beyond the present into other times. Combined with the help of two unforeseen allies, the White Chronicles eventually allows Stocke to actually travel through time to change things that should never have been and channel history into the path that it was meant to unfold.

Gameplay

Radiant Historia is a single player, turn-based RPG with action that revolves around a 3-party battle system and time travel abilities. Battles occur whenever enemies are encountered and play out over a three square grid system. The closer an enemy is to a player controlled character(s) the more damage that is possible in an attack(s). Beyond simply overwhelming enemies one by one, players can also manipulate individual enemy positions so that multiple enemies occupy the same space and can thus be attacked at the same time by party members. Successful combo attacks of this nature can net your party bonus gold and experience points. With a sufficient power build up each party member can also unleash special Mana Burst attacks which offer unique benefits in battle. Objectives that can not be achieved through battle may be available through the game's time travel functionality and the accessibility of parallel universes. By going back and forth in time and visiting other universes players can change events and historical choices that may alter conditions in the present and or future. The result of this can be multiple possible parallel game endings and maximum replay value.

Debuting as the top seller for its launch in Japan, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is headed to the Americas. The story of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse depicts the remnants of Tokyo, ravaged by a catastrophe. Demons and humans co-exist, but in this state, the remnants of humankind are just a prize being fought over by the higher deities. One lone Hunter, the game's protagonist, meets an early demise and through a pact with a lesser god, is brought back to life in exchange for his pledge of servitude. From there, the protagonist allies with other Hunters in the ruins of post-apocalyptic Tokyo beginning a plot that crosses over with the events of the original Shin Megami Tensei IV.

• An Epic Storyline That Allows You to Decide the Fate of Mankind - The Shin Megami Tensei series, known for exploring the tenuous symbiosis between man and deity, reaches deeper than ever in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, as the band of main characters must decide which side of peace or anarchy they are on.
• Demons Aplenty: Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse has nearly 450 demons to fight, fuse, or recruit to player parties, with demons from a wide selection of cultures and religions.
• Fuse for Affinities - Demon fusion, combining two or more demons to form a more powerful one, is one of the cornerstones of Shin Megami Tensei games. Now, demons will have affinities for certain skills, giving players more decisions to make about which skills fused demons will inherit.
• Language: The game features English voice-overs and English text.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this only for the "new" 3ds or will it play on the old 3ds as well
Answer:	It'll work on on the old 3ds as well
Question:	is this a turn based rpg
Answer:	Yes, It's a turn based rpg with dungeon crawling elements in an apocalyptic setting.
Question:	I know it's not required, but would you recommend completing SMT IV before venturing into this game
Answer:	If you're in for the lore yes it would be better to complete SMT IV, because there are plenty of nods and tie ins in this game. If you're not into that, you can enjoy SMT IV: Apocalypse as its own self-contained adventure. As I'm a lore addict, for me it wasn't even an option, I HAD to play SMT IV first to get to know the universe and afterwards get a more in-depth look at the monotheistic/polytheistic conflict shown in SMT IV Apocalypse.
Question:	Is this an improved version of SMTIV or a sequel
Answer:	Apocalypse takes during the events of IV. It's supposed to be a fairly standalone-ish game according to Atlus, so it isn't really a sequel but more of another story in the same universe.

User questions & answers

Question:	I know a few of these games don't have the option to have a boy or girl character. Does this one give you that option or are you stuck being male
Answer:	I do not believe you can change the gender of your character, or even customize your character at all. You are stuck male, because the his face is used within the story when the characters talk to each other. But I may be wrong, because I haven't played this game in quite a while. I hope this helped.
Question:	Is this a good introduction to the Shin Megami Tensei series? I've never played Shin Megami Tensei before
Answer:	It is a good game to start to enjoy the series it explains the mechanics really well and even has a few options to make playing easier if you are not used to the series' difficulty. Not playing the other games before this one is fine this one is an independent story and is a good time all around.
Question:	Is this game timed like Persona 3-4? I have only played those two games in this series and each day is one you can't get back because the story depends on dates. Is this game the same way or is is a completely open world? I wish they had a demo up
Answer:	Its does become "open world" but not "free roam" if you understand the difference , and theres alot of DLC I got with this game which EXPANDS the options even more. Its already one hell of a game and the most mature in the series to-date !
Question:	Shin Megami Tensei or Bravely Default
Answer:	The first guy above makes a bias comparison that shows he's either never played the game or he never got past the minotaur and quit. Here's the thing about the two games, if you've played final fantasy then you should already be familiar with bravely default. SMT however is a bit more tricky and advanced. Take the monster collecting and type casting of pokemon and throw in hardcore difficulty along with an atmospheric soundtrack that blends well with the environment and that's SMT or in short if you're familiar with persona then SMT is the older and more mature but difficult and more rewarding bigger brother.

Product description

Stella Glow is strategy RPG for the Nintendo 3DS system developed by Image epoch (Luminous Arc franchise). The game centers around Alto and his childhood friend Lisette as they try to stop Hilda the Witch of Destruction, and features unique "Song Magic." The game will contain English voices, but with the 20+ songs are in their original Japanese, performed by some of Japan's most beloved voice actresses. As most reluctant heroes do, Stella Glow-protagonist Alto starts as a country boy in a small town. One day, he hears a song coming from the forest (which is odd, since song has been absent on the planet for thousands of years), where he discovers the lone Hilda. But after the chance encounter, Hilda reveals she's the Witch of Destruction, determined to destroy the world with her Harbingers. As Hilda is about to destroy Alto's hometown, he and Lisette are rescued by the Royal Knights and whisked back safely to the kingdom. Alto joins the 9th Regiment for the sole purpose of gathering the other Witches to stop Hilda.

• Song Magic: Famous Japanese voice actors sing more than 20 songs in the game. Plus, the soundtrack is composed by Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears). The songs are part of Song Magic - a vital combat and story element.
• Players will get an allotment of Free Time where they can upgrade or buy items, tune Witches' hearts, explore, and grind experience, but that's in limited supply as Combat Time will drive along the game's story.
• Stella Glow will have 40-60 hours of story and side quest content, with multiple endings, New Game+ mode, and more than 50 maps to battle on, the world of Stella Glow is rich and vibrant with tons to do!
• From the team behind the classic Luminous Arc games comes a brand new IP with the same renowned strategic combat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any confirmation that this is the launch edition with the cloth poster and OST
Answer:	Yes, it's the launch edition. Even if you don't preorder, if you order quickly enough after - you may still get a launch copy. I did with Etrian Odyssey IV's launch copy, and it was months after it'd released.
Question:	Why is this
Answer:	It's a 40 hour game with lots of side quests
Question:	is it still selling the launch edition? and if you order the one for 38.99 from amazon does it include launch day items
Answer:	Hello. Thank you for your question.Some sellers (including myself) do sell the launch edition. However, the best way to know is1) make sure the seller clearly has stated 'launch edition' next to their listing or2) contact any individual seller (including Amazon) to see if they are still selling the launch edition.Because the game came out so many months ago, chances may be slim that Amazon themselves is still selling the launch edition. But you can always contact them, it never hurts :)I hope this helps answer your question.Best Wishes,AshP.S. The launch edition I have for sale is in excellent condition and will be shipped securely in bubble wrap inside a box. It is the last one I have. If you are interested in seeing any pictures of it, feel free to contact me please.
Question:	I'm thinking of buying the game, is it it English or Japanese
Answer:	It's in English. The witches songs are in Japaneese. But, it adds a nice touch, and the soundtrack to this game is one of the best. Try it, I haven't switched a game in my 3DS XL in a while, trying to finish this one. It has a lot of gameplay (hours) I'm at 70 so far. And you make your own storyline.
