-
Twice as many demons as the original.
-You are allowed
two demons out at a time in battle.
-Demon negotiation returns from past SMT games. (
in pratica il Talk System di Persona 2 e SMT3)
-You still get a demon to follow you on the map screen to help in your investigation.
-The game still uses
pre-rendered backgrounds, but the battles seem to to have a mobile camera.
-The game takes place in 1935, placing Raidou in his thirties and Japan at a state of war. (The wartime Japanese flag can be seen hanging above the Tokyo streets.)
-The game is said to be
much larger than the original, likely to address people's complaints about the length.
-The developers claim it is as if it were "the third game in a series, that's how much we've improved the gameplay,"
-There's something about
MAG being consumed as you use special moves, and it being restored when you hit enemy weaknesses. This is likely another attempt at translating the press-turn system into an ARPG. (In the original, enemies were stunned after getting hit with a weakness, as if you were granted another turn).
-Locations from the original return. Screenshots show Narumi's office, the nameless shrine, and some streets of Tokyo.
-One of the new locations is a distant village in the countryside.
