I thought the neutral ending was the only good ending. I've never played DS, so I'm not sure how it works. If it's actually ambiguous, and not as black and white as SMT IV, maybe I'd be down, but the law and chaos endings were all legitimately shit, so I don't care how good the path to getting there is if that is still the end result.

That was my problem with SMT IV as well. I played the game using the choices I would normally pick...and suddenly everyone was dying and I destroyed the world. I only bothered to look up Neutral Path later...and the requirements to achieving that just didn't seem fun to me at all. I still want to do it someday...just need to build up the motivation.

Of the five SMT games I've played, IV was probably my least favorite. Not that it was bad, just that I enjoyed the others more. I thought the paths were set up better in the Devil Survivor I and II. Instead of having a 'morality meter', you basically build up relationships with your companions and NPCs, which allows you to choose different paths at a certain point of the game. I believe you always have the Law and Chaos paths (or equivalents), but you can unlock additional paths through your relationships in the game. This might be too straightforward for some people, but I much preferred it over having to monitor my Law/Chaos points. 

Still...what I've heard about this game seems promising, and I did enjoy IV enough to keep my eye on this one, for what's it worth.
