Illusory Revelations#FE (SMTxFE) - First Trailer, Winter 2015 [Up: Screenshots]

Are you trying to say his examples are all the same tonally and stylistically?

Because if you are I'd love to hear your argument. Saying "Its all anime" isn't an intelligent comment. Sub-genres exist.

More like people are bitter over something being "anime as hell" when regardless of tone SMT has always been inundated in anime tropes. I get the fact that people wanted grimdark SMT, but that simply isn't the case. Saying it's too anime on an SMT game is a misnomer though. It's always been "anime"

Gripe that it isn't serious, but don't gripe that it's lolanime
 
Honestly, after seeing that trailer, there's really no reason why this is related to any previous IP. Nintendo should've just made a new IP with Atlus instead.

you are right, this game could still turn out good, of course, but why not try a new ip or even some kind of SMT/Persona spin off? keep the FE characters a surprise, that way nobody has these expectations if the game doesnt look exactly like FE or SMT IV
 
My knowledge of SMT and Fire Emblem is pretty limited, but that just looked like a Persona game. Am I missing something?
 
Like...it looks cool and all, I'll probably still like it, but that was so anime. Like it looked like a poor mans Persona at first.

So weird. I would never be able to tell it was related to SMT or FE without being told. I even made a joke just before they said the name!
 
Yikes, this looks pretty bad.

I was interested cause I like Fire Emblem but I probably won't be going anywhere near this.
 
I love SMT and FE, this looks like neither. The whole time this trailer was playing during the direct I was hoping it wasn't going to be SMTxFE...
 
Sounds like they started at SMT x FE and we're like wait this makes no sense, let's just make a new game like Persona, but we can't change the title, it's too late.

I'll check it out if the sexy fun time anime is toned down a bit, otherwise it'll have to be a pass. Was reallllllly hoping for some turn based goodness.
 
Persona 5: Fuck yess!!! Oh my god!! All over my body!! YESSS YESSS!!!!!


SMTXFE: Wtf is this shit? Looks like Persona!! Garbage!!

What are you so confused about? Compare the trailers for the games. This game looks like Persona made by Compile Heart.
 
Imagine how you would feel if they announced the next Mario title has a gritty, grimdark adventure through a hellish landscape. That feeling would approximate my emotions right now.
 
Seriously

If you didn't told me that this is SMT X FE

I would say it's a generic idol game on Vita

I'm dead serious, it's no trolling, this is how I feel

Maybe PS3 instead of Vita due to graphics, but I honestly with no hyperbole agree with you. I'd have guessed it that too.

Which is why the Persona comparisons really baffle me. It looks like an Idol RPG.
 
People acting like anime is one genre. Yes both series have anime styles but there is a difference between over the top, jpop, fanservice crap and other more serious series. Both Fire Emblem and especially SMT tend to be more serious and far away from this games setting and style.
 
It's still anime. You woldn't look at SMT art and think of anything but anime. It's a franchise that has dick monsters for goodness sake.

No, I think of stylized pointy teenagers, not anime, since as far as I know other than the weird OAVs from way back when, SMT has never really BEEN an anime compared to Persona.

And I think we all know what people mean by 'anime' here. They don't mean "oh it looks like it could come from an anime!". They mean it looks like a fanservice-y pandering loli-ridden made-by-Compile-Heart type game.
 
Watching the video again. I still like it. There are clear Fire Emblem influences on the guy's armor and the girl pegasus rider. The turn based battles with enemies that look like they were more Persona based than SMT.
Looks like they're trying to go for a mix of that with a contemporary setting by letting the main characters use FE and "SMT" powers.
 
No thanks on this. I like scantily clad anime chicks as much as the next Nerd but only when I'm fapping. I want my anime smut and my gaming to be 2 distinct things.
I'll pass.
 
No FE characters,no SMT characters, no demons, school teenage moe uguu shit that would still look weird if it were Persona x FE Awakening, no Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series, and this:

This is what FE and SMT have turned into :(
 
I'll admit to being disappointed by no real SMT connections and the sleezy outfits, but this still has me greatly interested and it's cool that it's more of it's own thing! GREATLY interested! Atlus does no wrong for me!

But I better see SMTV down the road!!

I'd buy a WiiU tomorrow.

Thats basically what theyre doing from what we can see. The name being SMT or FE isnt going to kill the game, is it?
 
Let's discuss guys:

How much anime is too much anime

Trying to get sexually involved with a girl that is portrayed with barely clothed and looks less than 10 years old but claims to be a 3000 year old dragon.

Surely they won't go that far! But hell. School theme and female vocals. Too anime.

Are you serious? O.O


Btw, Super Mario 3D World all over again?

Heh, and that about summarizes the fanbase's reaction.

It's pretty obvious that when people say that it's "too anime" they mean that it's too far into the idol-RPG side of things, not that they are unaware that SMT also has anime influences.

I don't think it was going to be an exact crossover to begin with. I wouldn't even know how it works.

I need to see more before I say more. I'm glad though that there's still an FE (hoping for another SMT game )
 
AHAHAHA I'm pretty damn happy we're getting more Persona-ish games.

I think we all pretty much expected something more like Pokemon Conquest, that is, medieval guys summoning SMT monsters as partners. I can barely see the FE in this game right now.

Still fairly interested though. Getting a persona-looking game out of a project that seemed like vapor ware is better than nothing.
