I'm really curious to know how it is and how it plays? Any out there playing it now?

Yes! Haven't gone very far. Just did the first dungeon.

So... the setup is not explained (at least for now), so you gotta just go with it. You have this representation of a mobile phone on the wii u where you "chat" with your friends. Its kind of funny as it adds character development and background.
The music is great and the menu's colorful in good persona 4 fashion. Very pleasing.

The combat is very satisfying. It reminded me why i love turn-based again. The session system is very enjoyable and you basically build combos by exploiting enemy weanesses. The characters look really good on their battle costumes aswell. 

Finally after the first dungeon misteries were built and i can't wait to get back to it, but i want to finish ys 7 and lords of the fallen first.
Any questions go ahead.

 

Oh... in conclusion it plays like persona 4. personas learn skills through their weapons wich you can upgrade with drops from monsters you kill. Nothing on social links so far. I don't think they have them.

Like SMTIV with some improvements (sessions, special attacks, FE elements) and without demons fusion (it kinda replaced with weapons fusion).

This game is really good.

I still can´t find the game in my country....
I´ll be playing it probably next week. Have been saving money for that.

.....how? Lol, when did you order?

I ordered when they 1st announced it. I think since it was released on Friday, they shipped it Thursday and due to the weekend, it wasn't moving for a day or 2. So I have to wait a little longer. It'll be in this week... T_T

It's great! Plays like a SMT/Persona game w/ mild FE flavoring. Only thing I dislike is the lack of dub. Im not a fan of Japanese VA at all x.x and some things are not subbed which annoys me -other than that it's good

Wish I could play more. I've been enjoying what I've played

I'm only in the first chapter and loving it. The battle system is very fun!!

18hrs in level 26-28 with 4 characters, on the second intermission (you get these after each chapter)

Ive got nothing to compare it to personally coz I've not played Persona or a traditional turn based JRPG in many years (if we don't count pokemon)

First up graphics: the art style, the world, the enemy designs, the menu screen to the level up menu looks just gorgeous so do the ad-lib performances from the characters.

VA: Honestly... I'm glad we don't have English VA, the Japanese VA do such a fantastic job I honestly can't complain and hell I get to listen to Shirayuki from Snow White With The Red Hair speaking to me.... <3

Censorship: honestly if someone hadnt told me i would have noticed and it's so bizarre, like they covered up Kirias bare legs yet Maiko (best girl) cleavage is still there (no complaints)

 

Combat: so I expecting to be completely overwhelmed coz my lack of knowledge when it comes to JRPGs but I've never had any problems, the session attacks are awesome and are really making me really think when choosing what skills I want to keep or replace. It's actually welcoming to players but deep at the same time. Session attacks and overkill just destroy the field.

Maxing new carnage (the weapons) is addictive , I've maxed all I can on all current characters until I get 3-star prestiges (items) ;-;

Also the the JPOP and Anime cutscene are actually quite nice. Also has my favourite Intro of the year.

My current rating based on everything so far (could change ) is a 9/10

Right now I'm doing side stories and  playing around in the arena before jumping into chapter 3. You can ask me anything, if I can answer I will. 

Nice. Is there off screen play?
