Apparently there's a SMT MMO Beta out in Japan since last month. It's in Japanese but you can try it out if you want. Not sure where to find it though, but it'll probably pop up on google or something.

The idea seems cool though. A bit Pokemon-ish maybe, but with an actual live world it should make things more intersting.

They should call it " World of SMT " because the interface looks almost identical to WoW.

I don't mean to be a prick but I don't know if I trust the japs as far as developing an MMO goes. The american companies like Blizzard and Flagship Studio's have had far more success with their MMO's than Asians with their free MMO's and their Lineage 2.

Anyway, this title isn't needed. The MMO market is totally flooded right now and I just don't think that we need a bazillion more here in the future. I don't think this title is going to be making it to the states of course though so I'm not all that worried about it but I just think people need to lay off the MMO creation for awhile.

I know Blizzard is making 15 bucks a month off of 7 million subscribers, and everyone wants in on the money, but most MMO's that have been coming out lately have been lackluster and failing. Archlord just became free monthly because they couldn't draw a crowd to their title, PSU is just mediocre, RF Online is a bore, and really the only MMO I think is worthy next to WoW is Guild Wars.

That's just my thoughts... I just think this game looks silly and I think it's safe to assume that it wont be hitting american shores. Especially not with the LoTR and Pirates of the Caribbean MMO's on their way.

I might be a complete SMT fanatic (I dont feel confident enough to call myself a tensenist) but i just dont do MMORPGs. I like my business transactions to end with me paying the dude at the store and taking the game home, this periodic payment ####### just doesnt go with me. I didnt hop in the Phantasy Star online boat and I dont think i will be getting on this one either.

I think it also has to do with me wanting my games to have a beginning and an end. I dont wanna spend countless hours doing whatever crap i can do without being able to reach a decent end. It can take 30 hours or 50 or even 200 hours, but it has to ##### end.

Also, this whole SMT online crap has already been tried, or at least thought about
