I just picked this up on Amazon and was playing it last night, I am completely hooked.
The atmosphere is incredible, 3D effects are good, great sound track, decent enough voice acting for a 3DS game, and the gameplay of recruiting pokemon style demons and the class structure system is addicting. Basically this is Pokemon Meets Dark Souls Junior as far as difficulty. (You can tone down the difficulty after you die twice and are resurected by the Styx River Ferryman.)
You basically recruit demons (Good and bad) to fight for you. You control 4 at a time while you play through quests in the game world. There is a deeper structure to the core of it all, including a computer you get in the game which you can buy "Apps" on, which give you character bonuses. These need to be strategic decisions when you pick these apps. For instance, you can pick an app called negotiation which allows you to gain money from demons when you recruit them, etc. There are a lot of these. You also combine demons together into different combinations using a fusion mechanic. All demons have different powers, and the demons you fight all have different weaknesses and resistances.
I haven't played any of the other games in the series, nor have I played Persona 4 or others that they reference.

^^ Skip to about 25 minutes in if you want to see actual gameplay - the first 25 minutes or so is showing the lay of the land, shops, back story, etc.
If you are interested in this game here are a few tips.
1) Do not purchase the game on the E-Shop. While convenient, you are paying the same price for the game should you order the boxed version, but losing out on all the goodies. For the same price, you get the cartridge, the CD sound track, and a very good mini strategy guide.
2) If you own Fire Emblem Awakenings and you purchase this game as well, register them both to your Nintendo Club account and you will receive $30 bucks in e-Shop credit immediately. (I guess this has to be done before August 31st) So basically you will get a free game out of the deal on the eShop. (Both games are good and considered system sellers)
There is a 3DS thread here somewhere so hopefully I didn't miss it. Although I feel this game requires it's own thread. I am about 2 hours in so far but it was one of the first games since Bioshock Infinite that I cannot put down, and aside from soem dabbling in Animal Crossing and Fire emblem, I am having this game trump my video game time on all my other platforms.
