Atlus has readied a new Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse trailer focusing on the game’s demons. We have it below.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse features over 450 demons, the most in the series thus far. They’re based in various mythologies and can be used to fight, fuse, or recruit.

Here’s a little more information on demons from Atlus:

When encountering demons in Tokyo such as the fabulous Napaea or strong Centaur, players can fight, negotiate, or flee. While annihilating every single demon may be the knee jerk reaction, negotiating with them opens up a wealth of options that can greatly benefit the party. Choosing to talk to demons opens up a dialogue tree that gives players to opportunity to recruit them or receive items/bonuses. A successfully recruited demon can be summoned to fight alongside the protagonist, but if negotiations fail demons will happily tear you to shreds.

Once a demon has been added to the party, they’ll gain experience, new abilities, and stronger attributes with every victory in battle. The protagonists can also learn powerful new skills from demons that level up, but that’s not even the best part about demon collection. Using the Cathedral of Shadows, monsters can be fused together to create even stronger ones! Mix and match or use recommended formulas to create the demon of your dreams (or nightmares)!

Aside from today’s new video, Atlus has sent out details about a ton of DLC lined up for Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. Find all of the information and full schedule after the break.

As previously announced, a demo for Etrian Odyssey V has been released today in Japan, in anticipation of the game’s August 4 release. The demo can be played up to 30 times and is the opening segment of the game. The section features no differences from the full retail version, and players will be able to save all their data and carry it over the full game.

The Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Special Edition contains several goodies. Probably the neatest of the bunch is an art book. Towards the end, you’ll find messages from three of the project’s most important developers: chief director/game designer Wataru Hirata, director Eiji Ishida, and producer Shinjiro Takata.

After going through the book, I thought it’d be worthwhile to share those messages here since each one is quite interesting (and lengthy!). Hirata’s note hits close to home in particular, as he thanks late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata – who passed away just a little over a year ago.

Head past the break for transcripts of Hirata, Ishida, and Takata’s messages.

The next entry in the Etrian Odyssey series will be released in Japan next month, on August 4th – ahead of its release, Atlus already revealed some of their DLC plans for Etrian Odyssey V via the latest issue of Famitsu (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). Here’s what you’ll be able to buy starting August 4th (each individual piece of DLC costs 300 yen):

• New Adventurer 1 – makes your character look like a boy wearing a school uniform
• New Adventurer 2 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sailor-style school uniform
• New Adventurer 3 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sweater
• New Adventurer 4 – makes your character look like a Paladin from Etrian Odyssey I
• New Adventurer 5 – makes your character look like a Medic from Etrian Odyssey I
• Adventurer Training Plan – gives you access to a quest that makes it easier to level your characters
• Adventurer Good Luck Plan – gives you access to a quest that gives you lots of gold as a reward

Two more pieces of DLC are also currently planned, but are not yet dated: “New Adventurer 6” (currently unknown how this will change your character’s appearance) and FM Synthesis (800 yen), which allows you to switch to FM Synthesis for the game’s background music and back at any time.

Etrian Odyssey V (along with its DLC, obviously) has not yet been announced for a Western release, though given that every previous title in the series has made it out of Japan, that announcement should only be a matter of time.

SEGA / Atlus announced this past week that, going forward, Deep Silver will be publishing their games across Europe. It’ll begin with the likes of 7th Dragon III: Code VFD and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, with the relationship continuing in the future.

SEGA recently took to its official blog and commented on the situation further in a new post. Additionally, the publisher explained why it has chosen not to handle games internally through something like SEGA Europe.

Here’s the full response:

Stop me if you’ve heard this before:

“We’re working on it.”

It’s an oft-used PR phrase that people have come to see as a general throwaway response. And while I can’t speak for every case, I can at least tell you that when it comes to publishing SEGA Japanese IP games (and ATLUS’!) in Europe, it’s true. We are working on it. Or were, really, since we just inked a deal with Deep Silver to release multiple upcoming titles in Europe. Physical versions.

That means that 7th Dragon III Code: VFD will be coming to European regions as both a physical and digital title, which will be published by Deep Silver for the EU territory.
