Is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked right for me?

I am completely new to this series.

I do enjoy rpgs such as Kingdom Hearts, FF, Pokemon, and Tales games.

Is this series rly as good as ppl say it is?

As a fan of all the games you mentioned, and with SMT: DS being my first entry in the series, I can say that I absolutely loved the game.

That said, SMT: DSO looks like an extremely lazy port. If you can find the DS version for cheaper I think that's a legitimate option to consider.

^ true for the most part. Overclocked adds a few new features like voice acting, "The 8th Day," some new demons, survivor awards (which is kind of like an achievment system except it grants in-game bonuses), an easy mode, etc.

this game is quite different than FF, kingdom hearts, and the like however. The game is kind of short and is made to be played through multiple times to get different characters and endings. FF and KH tend to be longer with only one main path. Character growth is tied to the demons you control not just your main characters so the game may feel difficult until you get a grasp of what you are doing. SMT is definitely my favorite JRPG series nowadays, but it is a bit "different."

Look at it. :? Besides, the voice acting sounded pretty below average based on the trailer.

I never said anything about a sealed copy either, but I do remember using the word if. :P

Explain to me how the visuals are remastered. They look the exact same to me.

Which is especially bad since it isn't very visually impressive for a DS game. I'm sorry, but the graphics are one of the big selling points of the 3DS, so to me it just seems weird to see this at retail for $40.00. It would be understandable if it was sold at a discounted price, but it's not. I mean, it doesn't even look like it'll be taking advantage of the 3D effect at all. So as far as I'm concerned all this is really adding is some cheap voice acting and the "eighth day".

And you know, all of that's fine if it doesn't bother you. SMT: DS is a great game, I just think it would be better to find the original game for cheap. Just my opinion.
