Theres a lady (I think?) who says different things to you based on your invisible morality bar. I believe she is the only way to know where you fall on it, so if you are trying to get a specific ending, talk to her often to make sure you stay on path. I don't think she pops up until a bit into the game, but its good to know. If you are just winging it (which you probably should do), then ignore that.
SMTIV was my first SMT game too, and I didn't have a ton of trouble with it. There are sections that are really hard, but I found everything to be fairly intuitive. Just rotate your saves, just in case.
