Which is probably the best reason the game WILL be sold over here.  Controversy = media exposure.  Remember the Mass Effect debacle?  I'm sure that hurt sales a lot.

 I do wonder about the mechanics. It is labeled as action-adventure, but I wonder if there will be any social linking or time managment.

 Strong indication that Catherine is central to the whole mess, perhaps some kind of succubus and you have to keep her happy without getting your soul eaten.

Like any American critic of the horrors of videogames would get that far in a jrpg.

N-no?
In the second one you play as a "man-made" messiah, and if you touch angry ghosts they instantly calm and find peace.

To be fair, while the god you kill is the god of Abraham, it is not the creator of the universe and is really just a dick who manipulates humanity for his own purposes and wants to do away with free will.  You also get to kill Lucifer (who's generally much harder, also there's a difference between him and Satan) and he's really just a big 'ol anarchist who hates everything.

The whole thing is absolute Law versus absolute chaos.  The good (and canon) ending is to kill both of them and lead a to world of moderation.   This same basic plot reoccurs in most if not all of the main series and the DS games.

Oh, and the sex stuff isn't really new.  It's certainly been more subtle, but it's always been there.  Just look at Mara.
Don't you actually play as Jesus in the first SMT game?

No, you just have the burden of the fate of all of humanity thrust on to your shoulders.  You actually get to kill Jesus, well, you get to kill the messiah who's aligned with god anyway.

The basic premise is that gods/demons exist, but they're invisible and we can't really do much to them nor them to us, also none of them like us very much unless they're childish and/or stupid.  It's by and for the Japanese, and the writers don't really give a fuck about what western audiences think.

YHVH is Creator of the universe in SMT.

this makes the existence of the Demiurge somewhat confusing unless they are one and the same

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/08/mega-man-online-trailer-isnt-screwing-around/#more-410564 oh hello
That just saved my hopes for the game. Even if it's a korean mmo like game that video makes up for anything wrong they could do with gameplay.

Based on that clip, they should just make a Mega Man anime and skip the game entirely.
