Siliconera: Yasuda says he only worked on the main characters since there are many more main characters in Devil Survivor 2 compared to the previous title. Atlus staff are designing the sub characters. Thirteen characters signed a pact with the devil so I suppose the are at least thirteen lead characters in Devil Survivor 2. You can read about the protagonist, Daichi, and Io in our coverage from last night.
From the review: "This update to a DS classic doesn't give you much in terms of hardware upgrades, but the additional campaign and gameplay changes make Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker worth playing for a second time, or a first time if you skipped the first release."
Technology Tell writes, "The Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor games are probably the most innovative offshoots of the SMT series. Sure, Persona is much more popular, but it also is a fairly typical JRPG. Games like Devil Survivor Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker shook up the formula, not only because they’re strategic RPGs, but because the visual novel elements and freedom of choice can really make playthroughs feel different."
Well done, Europe—you’re getting Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2. Publisher Ghostlight announced this morning that the game has met its pre-order goal and will be released in European territories.
