This game is fucking insane. It absolutely beats the hell out of you any chance it gets, including some design choices that knocked me back on more than one occasion. The story is definitely gripping in ways I hadn't expected, and re-contextualizes a lot of demons that I recognize from the Persona series. Overall I can recommend it to anyone already previously familiar with Persona games.

From what I've seen, the HD version definitely beefs some things up from the original, but if you're a previous Nocturne fan, Demi-Fiend is no longer a smartass. Other than that pretty solid localization.
