Aeria Games Announces Acquisition of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online for
North American and European Release

Santa Clara, Calif. (Sept. 9, 2008) – Aeria Games’ newest acquisition from Cave Co., Ltd., Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, also called “MegaTen,” will soon be released in the European and North American online PC gaming markets in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.

Shin Megami Tensei is a major intellectual property of the well-known Japanese developer and publisher, Atlus Co., Ltd. The first of many titles in the franchise was released by Atlus in 1992 for the Japanese Super NES and has grown a large and loyal following around the world with additional game titles for consumer consoles and handheld systems. The latest installment brings the brand online.

Originally released in Japan in Q1 2007, Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online was Cave’s first massive multiplayer online (MMO) title for PC. MegaTen has become a huge success with a large fan following. Aeria Games plans on bringing that success to the European and North American markets as it has done with its titles Last Chaos and Shaiya.

Set in a fictional post-apocalyptic Tokyo, survivors attempt to restore the city by defeating demons and solving puzzles. Each player acts as a “Devil Buster.” Success relies on forming an alliance with demons or slaying them.

MegaTen offers numerous unique features:
• Strategic Real-time Fighting System - Choose between attacking, parrying and defending in real time.
• Diverse Weaponry – Use a wide array of weapons from medieval swords to modern-day rifles and handguns.
• Devil Partnership – Players negotiate with devils to assist in battle and missions.
• Devil Fusing – Players can combine multiple devils to create new breeds.
• Private Dungeons – In addition to the public battle areas, players can access private dungeons to hunt and collect items with their friends.

Pretty cool, seems a little late to jump in but I'll check it out if it's free.  Though I think the way this company works the free MMO is that all the good stuff you have to pay for.

Hell yes.  I've seen videos of this and my room mate briefly played it.  It's not great, it's not bad.  But some of the music is pretty fuckwin.  With it being free to play and having microtransactions for some things, I'm definitely going to check it out.  Not much to lose out on, yeah?
 
Who's with me?

I will definitely try it when it's out in English, if it is indeed free to pay initially. I've even thought of trying it in Japanese but I saw vids and that's way too much complexity for my atrophied higher brain functions.

Assuming it can, don't forget about the whole "TDotOL raiding club" we're gonna do. As soon as we figure out an alignment.
