Sometimes I don't get lucky, and sometimes I do, and holy cow my local gaming store had Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, one of the spin-offs from the main SMT series! \o

omfg you listen to Cat Empire! Fabulous. They are one of my favs.
I'm also glad you're enjoying your game. I borrowed the first DSKR from a friend and despite Raidou being my favorite SMT protagonist design ever, I couldn't get used to the fighting and kept getting lost in the city due to memory fail with all the long Japanese names (hey, I was sick at the time ok). I had only just finished playing Nocturne and DDS for an embarrassing length of time, and the switch to action RPG after 200+ hrs of turn-based carnage was apparently more than I could deal with.
Nocturne changed the way I looked at certain things in a fairly direct way, which is maybe sort of weird to say about a video game. I think it hit me at just the right time in my life-- I've never been able to finish a replay of it. An amazing, solitary, and very strange experience.
I'm still enjoying it - I suspect Nocturne will grab more than this game is, but for the time being it's fun. The battle system is...it's like Kingdom Hearts only more in-depth and fun. I mean, I cannot overstate how cool it is to be shooting down a Pixie while you're slicing up a Preta with a Turnak and a Tam Lin fighting with you. And these are still early level demons. \o/ The story is a little cheesy, but what the heck it's fun.
I'm planning to drop it like a sack of hot potatoes the moment Nocturne arrives, though, as that's what I've been really waiting on. (Although DS2 will be v. nice if I need an action-y break)
May I ask which certain things it changed your views on?
I am looking forward to playing it a lot. SMT1 and SMT2 made me such a fangirl, and this is SMT3 I'm looking at, after all.
I am planning on obtaining DDS and DDS2 at some point, but Nocturne first. I need to give it my full attention.
It's an interesting direction for them to go in with the Megaten gameplay, and I'm glad they're trying new things even if I can't get into them myself. I think I'd be a lot more disappointed if they just made nothing but turn-based stuff forever

Oh yes. I'm rather pleased with it, as they've nicely integrated the standards of the series (so it's a Megaten game, even if the atmosphere isn't the same) with it, and I'm just v. pleased with it. (And major kudos to them at how they fixed the new system from the first game to its sequel, as I've seen enough of the first game's footage to know that I'd find it kind of boring/tedious
