It's an SMT game. That strikes me as a good thing even if I haven't played them much. I believe it's well-liked by fans of the series too.

It's fantastic IMO. That said,

This is the best way to sum it up. If you like SMT, you'll like 4. If you don't, well, whatever. If you've never played an SMT game, 4 is fairly accessible

Hard as fuck at first, but manageable after that. The story is typical SMT-fare: grittier than Persona, and certainly focused on the Alignment thing as usual, but has a bunch of sidequests to help kill monotony if the story ever stalls...which it doesn't really. None of the characters are standouts, none of the gameplay is out of the ordinary, but the updated slew of monster designs helps compared to the other stuff like Soul Hackers and Strange Journey.

Okay, more pointed question. I hear the map is quite bad. Do you just kind of select where to go on a menu? Do the different areas have you wandering around talking to NPCS or is that all done through menus?

Story sucks gameplay is okay. I didn't get through it but I may go back to it at some point.

And yeah it's all menu based if I'm understanding your question right.

The overworld map is a significant improvement over the original SMT4 iirc. It's still overly large and not easy to navigate blindly though, I agree.

Literally nothing about the map is menu-based btw (though the entire combat system is, like most other jrpgs)

Reg seems to be, although I'm not sure why

The map is definitely a bit dubious, I would say

Inferior to Nocturne (especially the atmosphere and boss battles) in almost every way but still a decent SMT game. I personally didn't like most of the new Demon designs though and the story while more plentiful than past (non-Persona) SMT games is still not that great.

oh, SMT4A came up elsewhere and my brain did not properly drop the A off the topic here

Original SMT4 map is utterly horrendous, I agree. Still not menu based though.
