I'm amazed people weren't fans of the music. That's what sold me

Looks like another Persona game pretty much. I'm actually incredibly disappointed. I don't consider the series bad but this game was never presented as being such. In fact, in the original reveal, I'm pretty sure all of the Atlus characters in the trailer were from mainline SMT, which makes this product kind of mind boggling. Either way, we already had Persona Q last year, and now we're getting P5 and Dancing All Night. Even if I wasn't bothered by just the anime pandering that seems to have been embraced with P4G, it's just completely unnecessary to inject elements of that series into other projects that would have been fine without them.

This is what I was thinking. SMT IV had a fantastic debut in Japan and had the best franchise debut ever in the US.

To be fair we haven't seen enough of this game to know that those are the only settings. This is most likely the beginning of the game which first trailers tend to focus on. All we know is at one point in time these characters attend school. Thats it. Theres no indication that will continue to happen through out the game. Especially with post apocalyptic Tokyo in the last game screen. I didn't see a daily calender system or really interaction with npcs via persona. Hell in one of the "normal" life screens the protagonist is in a party. This stadium area looks like it may play a part in the game since a lot of combat is only done there. We'll just have to see where it goes.

I am also baffled.
Really? I expected better from him. At least Kaneko wasn't responsible for that art...

Yeah, SMT + Digimon + FE sounds pretty accurate to me. Which is probably why it seems awesome.
Yeah same.

um one of the screens is a guy with his shirt opened and his "transformed" outfit even shows off his stomach.

This is, uh, slightly different.
If you want to say that this particular game is generic anime, then go right ahead.

What even was the original concept? All we knew was that it would have characters from both franchises
I mean I'd love some Demi Fiend action but besides the fanservice what would the game even be?
Totally, I mean words just mean whatever we want them mean, right? I'm sorry that I pointed out you were talking nonsense, get right back to it. Hope this reply wasnt too anime for you, cause I think youre totally anime and wouldnt want to anime you.
Oh boy this chestnut.
Okay then, in Persona 3 you can make them wear high-cut armor, bikini armor, maid outfit.
in Persona 4 the first thing after the MC go down from the train is Rise ads, ..........
Want me to continued ?
@SolidSnakex
generic 80s anime ?

Going by the designs and the fact the Eliwood looking dude had his chest exposed in the trailer it looks like it should appeal to both sides.

Rewatched it a few times for gameplay related stuff

0:34: overview of a generic dungeon
0:35: A shrine, ingame cutscene?
0:48: Japanese temple, Dungeon UI
1:00: Character can do a resengan (fmv)
1:01-1:10: Ingame battles

I intend to. I WISH they looked like SMT2 characters.
Based Atlus
One day we'll figure out which rock they stuck Kaneko under.
There's some male fanservice in the trailer... Though I don't think anyone can seriously argue it was anything close to what the girls got.

I'm so glad this isn't a boring SRPG or have a dull, oppressive motif like SMT. Looks tonally similar to the newer Persona games, which pleases me. I hope it's super wacky and fun.
Nah, I don't think that was Meguro.

I went and watch that announcement trailer posted above and there is nothing in that other than these two series are coming together. Unless I missed another one, seems like people created an image of what the game was supposed to be like from nothing.

You know what's really sad? I can see that this uses Awakening's style now.
I saw that, but it didn't even expose very much especially compared to all of the female characters bouncing around with their giant breasts hanging out.
It's especially frustrating because I love generic anime pandering, J-pop, school settings, and sexy anime girls. But as a girl gamer it's really offputting how this game feels like it's treating it's female characters as decorations while the men get to be pretty much dressed up. It makes me feel as if this game is not for me. I feel alienated and left out.
All this game has to do is show me some completely topless men in speedos with big bulges and little bows on their underwear. Then I'll have no issue with this at all.

Seriously. I thought it went perfectly with the trailer and had great energy. Reminds of so many of the cool anime and game intros of the '90s.

I would definitely agree in comparison to everything Meguro does for SMT or the SMT4 composers, but I didn't expect SMT tone.

True but they're idols aka basically singers and they're known to wear all kinds of outfits from odd to skimpy. In this context I could care less about fan service because its not entirely out of place. Could they have left it out though? Of course but its in so whatever.
Fire Emblem has kind of always had a slightly generic look.
Yeah but that is what I'm used to coming from Atlus. Etrian Odyssey also has pretty kicking music, hoping this game overall will be no different.
Sony missing so many possible Vita exclusives.

If it were just FE, I don't think anyone would care. It's that this really crushes the dreams of a modern occult SMT crossover. Instead it's more like an idol game.
