Devil Survivor: Tactics Confirmed

This video recently appeared on Atlus’s official Devil Survivor site.  I am glad to finally get a good look at the game’s battle system, even if it is only for a few seconds.  It answers some of my burning questions.

The video begins with Atsurou moving next to a Pixie.  Note the way his sprite’s orange bag flaps when he walks – nice touch.  Then it’s Yuzu’s turn.  Here are her available commands:

MOVE
COMMAND
YUZU (possibly status)
END TURN

She chooses to enter a command, selecting Pixie as her target.  The screen switches to a view of her target (it’s almost like a first-person tactical RPG).  Here her only options are attack and guard.  Yuzu finishes the Pixie in one attack and gains some EXP.  You can note here that she has no demons stocked yet, as they would appear on this screen in her “team.”

The Pixie is shocked that she lost to a human, and decides to join up with the team.  I don’t think every defeated demon will join up; my guess is that this was an event scene.

A tactical MegaTen title for the Nintendo DS – I am indeed excited.
