Nah, unlike Persona there are no romances in this one. I think it may be an option in Devil Survivor 2, coming out this month. DS2 has some kind of social link system.
Also, Kingdoms of Amular, holy shit it looks beautiful. And the class system is great, not only can I be a Battlemage, but several different kinds!
Reviving an epic post from Eric!
J-RPG's played by fat neckbeards and little asian girls that consist of a lot of grind, (in the case of persona) teenage DRAMAMAAMHURRRR, and more grind. The stories are really uninteresting to most, but Atlus fans (like myself) tend to lick the cocks of the creators who made them. The Persona series of games is more of a spin off to the main "Shin Megami Tensei" series, and it focuses more on the social linking aspect of things in the game world, and then you go through the most uninspired dungeons ever (or in the case of 3... the most uninpired DUNGEON, because it's one dungeon with fuck knows who many floors) that are randomly generated. The goal is essentially to grind and gain abilities so you can grind some more.
Nocturne takes a different route, where the sole focus is GRINDING, followed by more GRINDING, until about 70 hours later you've grinded the shit out of everything you can grind, and realize you still haven't grinded enough so you grind for another 70 hours.
There are other great spin offs to the series such as Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, where the goal is to Grind for as long as you can without saving because dungeons are 15 hours long typically with maybe 1 save point at the beginning. MAYBE 1 save point. Typically you'll die during the boss since you didn't grind enough.
There are also a few portable games that have come out as of recent in the series, such as Devil Summoner. This game consists of grinding, except its done with a hybrid Strategy RPG/Turn Based RPG battle engine, so grinding takes even more time to do than before. I'd consider this the greatest achievement in grinding history, however, NIS did this first with the wonderful game Disgaea. NIS games/fans are quite similar in nature to Atlus fans.
Typical (f)atlus/NIS fan daily activity can be summed up in the following oversized images images:

To be fair, Disgaea IS all about grindan, but if you're a bit creative, you can have characters gaining several hundred levels in a single move 
Stormie. Can you please post that weird Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne creature again? I can't find it and John can't as well. I think it was part dog, and it was extremely messed up and morbid.

Oh, gods, I want Kingdoms of Amular.
Guilds, Elven Great Houses (just like Morrowind, you can tell Ken Rostlon who was the lead director made this).
He's making fun of Todd Howard here. Interesting.

If he sticks to his guns about this puritan RPG stuff...I'm giving this a chance. That's for sure. There's no level scaling, thank the fucking gods.
Actually, watch the whole fucking thing. This guys REALLY sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

The Police Dog? Haha, reason you can't find it was because it wasn't from a Megaten game, but from Shadow Hearts (a game with possibly even more fucked-up creatures than SMT games).
This should be what you mean:

Yes, I despise David, Hamburger Hepler, and the Dragon Age team.
Yes, The Old Republic sickens me.
Yes, I disagree with the dumbing down of Mass Effect.
But this, gentleman, game of the year, undoubtedly. You might say "Wah wah, I don't want to spoil the first 20 minutes." But, what this will really do is get you pumped up. Man, oh man.
