Devil Summoner 2 packaging is drop dead sexy photo

Reasons why I am in lust with the special edition of Atlus' upcoming RPG Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abbadon:

1. The game is set in Japan in the 1920s

2. The game is going to be freaking incredible

3. It comes with a Jack Frost plsuhie COSPLAYING as Raidou

4. Shoji Meguro (of Persona fame) did the music for the game

5. It's only THIRTY SEVEN BUCKS

6. DEAR GOD LOOK HOW SEXY THAT PACKAGE IS

Yeah. So that's why I don't even want to OPEN this thing. It's tempting to buy two and just leave one sitting up on my game shelf like a big fat trophy. I was expecting to get the game and the plushie in a little plastic bag, so this is far above and beyond my expectations. The again, that's where Atlus seems to shoot for these days, so maybe I should take it as a matter of course and start to expect my wildest dreams fulfilled by them in the future. Hey Atlus, make a Persona fighting game!

This is gonna be available in stores, right? I reserved my copy a few months ago, and I kinda want this box (reserved at Gamestop)

too many PS2 games, need more PS3 versions for those without a backwards compatible PS3

I just read the Atlus newsletter and I still can't believe they're shoving all this out for less than $40. Collector's editions these days are paltry and here we are with this little wonder.

Also, I really hope they don't intend for this to be the PS2's swansong. They still have to publish the Super Robot Taisen game!

Would I be missing a lot if I skip the first devil summoner and jump right into this one? That package looks pretty sweet and at $37 thats a pretty good deal.

I bought the Persona 4 bonus pack thing (that was separate from the game). It arrived unceremoniously in the Amazon box with no special packaging; Teddy doll was in a plastic bag, as was the shirt. Calendar and CD were wrapped in plastic. So I expected the same for this one.

When I saw the picture in the Atlus email, I cried. I'm not going to want to open that! Dammit.

@DaedHead8 -- I think you'd be ok to begin with this one. There might be a reference or two you might miss, but I have a feeling if you like this one you'll want to go back and get the first one anyway :)

Well guess I'm gonna go reserve that...never played a Devil Summoner game but that package is too good to pass up, plus anything to support Atlus is a cause to support.

Looks tempting, but I must know how this game fares compared to Persona, FF, and other good JRPG's.

I pre-ordered months ago, and I'm so glad I did.

Fuck, I can't open that.

I really really wanted to set them next to Pee Wee Hermen, now I don't know if I can open that package.

AHAHAHAHAHA


Devil Summoner 3 was an interesting, if mediocre, action RPG. This game improves on it in every way conveivable. Just don't expect it to be easy like Persona.



That package is so beautiful. I can't wait for it to be on my shelf.

I haven't even finished the first Devil Summoner: Raidou, but I think I'm going to jump right into this one when I get it later next month.

And I agree, Colette...I might have to buy another one just to maintain this glorious packaging.

I wonder what the back of the box looks like.

I don't know, the plastic packaging seems subpar, how about wood or metal? Does this mean I have to buy TWO of these just so I can open one of them and put the other on display?

Wow that's amazing, there's so many collectors editions that just fall short and yet look at this.

And Atlus is supposed to be the small company?

This is awesome, glad I pre-ordered, hopefully I'll get my special edition.

I really wasn't a fan of the first one, but I've seen the Japanese version of this in action, and it does look a lot better. I just don't want to force myself all the way through the first (third?) one to get the story or anything in this.

A Persona fighting game would be fucking awesome. Please releases it on Xbox or PS3 for online fights.

Man I haven't even finished P4 yet. Geesh, where does one find the time for all these Atlus games. But I'll buy it anyways cause I'm sure the Jack Frost doll will "Make a girl happy" and probably get me some hot action from a Japanese exchange student.

Atlus provides us with a mind blowing package and price as always. This is why they remain my favorite company.
