Shin Megami Tensei IV artist Masayuki Doi and Dragon’s Crown artist George Kamitani will both be at E3 to sign prints for attendees and Atlus wants you to choose which ones they should make.

The poll is open to everyone subscribed to the company’s “Atlus Faithful” newsletter, but you can also click on the posted links to vote for your favorite print.

Solid Snake’s not the only one who can pull off the cardboard box look. The protagonist for Shin Megami Tensei IV can get an in-game outfit modeled after Amazon’s iconic packaging with copies pre-ordered from the online retailer.

The offer extends to existing pre-orders, so don’t worry about not getting it if you’ve already put in your order.

Shin Megami Tensei IV comes out on July 16. The first print editions will come with a 176-page strategy and art book, a Shin Megami Tensei Music Collection CD and a collectible slipcase.

Atlus is working on Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl, a 3DS remake the first Etrian Odyssey. According to the latest issue of Famitsu, the game will place a bigger emphasis on story rather than party customization.

Instead of creating your own characters, you will take control of a main character and follow a scripted storyline based on the original game. The game starts with your character, a young man working for a guild in Etria, bumping into a mysterious, gun-toting girl with amnesia.

As you continue playing, additional party members will join up with you. However, unlike the original game, you won’t be able to choose their classes.

Millennium Girl will feature voiced story segments, and so far, Kousuke Toriumi, Daisuke Ono, Toshiyuki Toyonaga, Mariya Ise and Shizuka Ito are confirmed to lend their voices to the project.

The game launches on June 27 in Japan for ¥6279 (≈$66).

Just like how the first Devil Survivor got Devil Survivor: Overclocked, Atlus announced to attendees at a preview event that Devil Survivor 2 will be getting Devil Survivor 2: Break Code this summer in Japan.

Details are still scarce, but an enhanced port for the 3DS, Break Code will introduce new characters and story elements.

The game will officially be announced in the March 28 issue of Famitsu.

The appearance of the protagonist in Shin Megami Tensei IV changes depending on what he’s wearing. While not a new feature to the MegaTen series (Persona 4 Golden had multiple in-battle costumes) or RPGs in general, it’s a nice little touch that adds a bit more personality to a character.

And with items like biker helmets, samurai-inspired armor and even convenience store uniforms to choose from, be prepared to see some funky-looking demon hunters on May 23 when the game hits Japan.
