Awesome.
Just got the newest Shin Megami Tensei game yesterday, actually (Strange Journey on the DS), and it seems really cool so far. I'm really eager to get the chance to actually play through the whole thing sometime soon.
Only thing is, Atlus hasn't made a single truly "next gen" game yet, so it almost seems doubtful to me that it'll be on PS3. I mean, I really hope it is, but they've been primarily doing DS and Wii games these days (the occasional bit of PSP love as well)... nothing Megaten-related yet on PS3 or 360.
And as much as I love Persona, I almost wish they were making another Devil Summoner (with its detective-style stories) or another main series Shin Megami Tensei (with their whole derelict, apocalyptic style) instead. Something where Kazuma Kaneko would actually be the character designer, with Shoji Meguro doing some slightly more haunting melodies, as opposed to the (still surprisingly good) Jpop-inspired stuff he does for Persona.
It'll be a fantastic game no matter how things end up, I would just rather see something new, or something a little less "well-tread".
