Those who played the first Devil Survivor game from Atlus may particularly remember the old school styled gameplay that was part of its hybrid of traditional and strategy RPG formulas. With Devil Survivor 2, they seem to be making that old school feel a lot more prevalent. Perhaps maybe too prevalent.

If you see the screenshots after the jump, you can get a good idea as to how far they may be taking that old school philosophy. Let's be blunt here. With the lack of high-res images, archaic text, and bland interface, it looks like they're developing it for the SNES rather than for the DS. Not to mention the screenshots in general are.... small. They're very small. Well, just take a look and you'll see what I mean.
