It would be pretty difficult for any of the main SMT games to take place in the same world as anything else, AFAIK. Also, Raidou Kuzunoha is a fictional detective in the P4 world.

Yeah, considering that in most of the mainline SMT games the world is destroyed about an hour or so in.

Oh man. I just love how expressive that protag's face is in the CG cutscene. Seriously, just watch his eyes during that first little bit of the trailer. Perfect.

I think the more interesting thing for me was that shot where he'd grown sheep's horns. With all the humanoid sheep running around, I think it's telling that he specifically had those and that at least some of the sheep were wearing articles of human clothing. One of those "if you spend time there, you change" things, maybe?

Probably. In fact, him growing the horns might be his starting motivation for exploring the dungeon. Wants to get out so he doesn't turn completely into one.

No, see he wants to get out so he doesn't die. I think death is a greater motivation than turning into a furry.

Although maybe his physical body dies and the rest of him stays and is transformed, which is some pretty strong motivation, right there. All that's needed to make it a triple threat is to add that he also will have to work in a tiny cubicle for crap pay and tons of work. Which may be part of the deal given at least one of those sheep was wearing a tie.

He'd be a dead, furry office worker. That's as miserable an existence as I can think of.

PS: If the music is all like the trailer, it sounds like it's going to be close to P3. I can't say that's a bad thing.

Someone on Neogaf compared this game to a Haruki Murakami novel in game form, and having read some of his output I think that's an apt comparison.

I wanna max Catherine's Social Link.

I would think Catherine would end up being some dark goddess who rules over dreams, and in starting a relationship with her (the main character must be desperate to woo her) he unintentionally gets in a life or death struggle. The unlucky previous victim I spied, suggests she could be some sort of succubus. I expect the "failure" scene is something pretty disturbing to match the ero.

The animation bits seem to suggest that in between action, you might get scenes of his waking life, full of gossip and urban legends to help him understand his plight. The barkeep was obviously important.

I do like that we get a fairly normal individual for once, with no real super powers and whose reaction is "WTF?" and a reasonable motivation for his dealings with other characters: Booty + Survival.

The sheep seem to be the Prinnies of the dream world, or people in the same plight as the protagonist, and his growing of horns is some awareness that he's either just like them or becoming like them the longer he stays.

Actually, I think the dead body might actually be HIM. Whether that's part of the nightmare or some sort of failure clip or something to fuck with us isn't entirely clear, though.
