While we're still awaiting news of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final being localised to the West, the popularity of its processor - unsurprisingly called Shin Megami Tensei IV - gives us hope that Atlus will bring the title outside of Japan.

For now we can only follow coverage for the February 2016 release in Japan, and it's been confirmed in Famitsu magazine that various aspects of the previous entry will have a presence in Final. For one thing those with save data for the predecessor on the same system will receive special items and equipment.

Beyond that a number of cast members from Shin Megami Tensei IV are returning, so spoiler warning - details thanks to Gematsu.

  • Flynn (voiced by Yuki Kaji) – The protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei IV. He is revered as a messiah who defeated angels and demons one after the other.
  • Jonathan (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) – He became one with Merkabah and is aiming for a world free of impurity.
  • Walter (voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi) – Originally a human being, Walter was reborn as Lucifer. From time to time, he returns to his human form, and has his previous memories.
  • Isabeau (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro) – In order to save Flynn from the hands of the Polytheistic Gods Alliance, she joins the new hero of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final as a partner.

Polytheistic Gods Alliance

  • Miroku (voiced by Michiko Kaiden)
  • Odin (voiced by Atsushi Miyauchi)

That's the latest batch of information for you; fingers crossed that this one will also make it to the West in 2016.
