A few new Shin Megami Tensei IV tidbits have been translated from this week’s Famitsu. In its latest issue, the publication provided information regarding the game’s battles.

Shin Megami Tensei IV will employ a press turn system. If players exploit an enemy’s weakness in battle, their party will gain additional actions.

When defeated, players will come across the ferryman from the Sanzu River. Give him a Macca and you’ll be back in action. This is unlike Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne – you simply head back to the main menu when defeated in the PS2 title.

Is Shin Megami Tensei IV proving too difficult for you? Then simply change the game’s difficulty to “easy”, which will allow defeated players to continue after losing a certain number of times.
