Forget FF, DQ and others RPG's. This is the evolution. This is the best rpg ever.
1 - I love SMT series, but I only knew 'Persona'. Persona is an incredible game. But i would say that DDS is more adult and the history is more complex than Persona.
2 - Cel shaded graphics? I love it! The best Cel shaded graphics that i have seen.
3 - Lovely soundtrack. Amazing Voices.
4 - Devour? YES! Skills? More than 100!
5 - Dificulty? Hard. I died so many times. Simple enemies can killl you in seconds.
6 - Replay - New Game + with many extras. Very cool.
Whatever, this game is incredible. Atlus really know to do RPG's.
DDS 1 and DD2 are the evolution on RPG world.
