My body is ready.

That's what she said!

Come on, you did it on purpose.
(That's what she said!)

Bone, your bro really got fired for that?

"Not that entrance, the other one"

Downloading the game now. Almost 2GB. Pretty huge for a 3DS game.

Well I picked it up. The big box is nice although it's kind of cheap and flimsy feeling. Atlus special edition boxes have always felt cheap in my experience. I think XSeed does a better job with special edition boxes.

How's the art book/guide?

[Opa Opa]

Don't know. I bought it as a gift so it's still sealed. That's why I can only speak about the outer box.

It's pretty nice. I was originally put off by the price of the game.. $50?! But....the artbook/guide is pretty nicely done for the low premium and the CD/slipcase are - while basic in terms of "quality" - are still really nice additions for the price. One of the better CE values I've seen.

Here's a few pics of the book:

damn that's a really nice guide book. I can actually see the justification for the price there, surprisingly.

I'm on the fence on this one. Which is to say, I'd really like to play it at some point - soon even. But I'd like to sink myself into Project X Zone first (I think) so it seems silly to buy two long and involved games at the same time.

I haven't started SMTIV yet. But I didn't like the PxZ demo. And that game is supposed to be 50-60 hours. Can't imagine putting up with that battle system for that long. From past experience with SMT games, it is likely the better buy. Even at the higher price tag.

My advice would be to get SMT4 and Fire Emblem Awakening ASAP so you can get the $30 eShop credit deal. You probably need to grab SMT4 soonish to still get the first-run goodies.

I also have some promo DLC from Amazon for an "Amazon costume" - http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G ... nfront.jpg

Debating if I should use it or sell it.
