Not sure how SMTxFE turned into this or what this has to do with FE at all since looks pretty much like a SMT spinoff--but I'm down! Since it's Atlus too, I know it'll get localized, which is great because since it's Nintendo I know I won't be able to play the Japanese game.
Also, for all the April Fools stuff, it is April 2nd in Japan...

The name is an old SMT spinoff game title.
Ugly no-fringe Miku. Idol commentary incoming. She even has the same hair clips.
The other thing is that particular scene reminds me a lot of a similar scene from SMTI. Well at least that's how I think it'd look like if it were 3D.
Hopefully that is the case, I don't want to suffer though a whole game of what I've seen.

That's the USA trailer, here's the japanese ones I found:

The feel and style is quite different.

I feel like this is probably an issue of presentation.
While I don't have a problem with any of the gameplay elements seen so far, that video basically being an AMV with a poppy bubbly theme song didn't help it's perception for people who are more used to SMT's darker universe.
I'd like to think that what we're seeing right now could be a complete red herring, and that the game itself will be exploring themes and such that are more in line with what we'd expect from an SMT game with elements and callbacks of the Fire Emblem series. It's likely to be rated Mature, and it's safe to say that raiting won't just be there because of T and A.
In any case, I still think the game looks great and can't wait to see more. Hopefully it'll show more that will be more in line with some people's expectations, because I can see how this first look could disappoint folks.

The 'dungeon crawling' is also very Persona.
That's the point. Or it can actually be that "the battle world" is the illusion lol.
For real though, we don't know anything yet, just wait and see. I remember a whole lot of people saying SMT4 looks nothing like SMT main line because it's so peaceful looking. Then when we see Tokyo, well .
hey hey hey don't drag Yuna into this weeaboofest
I love SMT proper. I love Persona. I love Fire Emblem. There's no way this game could go wrong for me (as long as the gameplay is solid, that is). Surprised this is still a thing given how long since the initial announcements it's been.
That name, though. Not surprised NOA might be looking for an alternate title.

The rush trailer seems about similar. Or at least the rush one showed much more battle gameplay.
But which one is the actual first trailer?

But if people did this, if they used logic, then it wouldn't be the Internet. Right?

FFX2 started with a pop idol concert performance by Yuna...
Ugh, that game is so fucking trash.
It wasn't even Yuna though...

Pretty much the same thing going on with Xenoblade X. Gaf seems determined to shit on every aspect of the game, despite it looking legitimately like one of the best games in a LONG time.

This is the first trailer.
Persona has fanservice-y crap. The reason why people are so up in arms about this is because it was the first look of the game which was initially presumed to be a darker title.

Truth.
Mido trolling!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
This is so animu I think I feel my brain melting.
That first one looks like it's from the anime.
The other 2 are like 1 second clips.

Idk, maybe some poster more familiar with the game, I feel the rush trailer is one of the first at least, the other one seems closer to release, maybe a TV ad.
But I was just saying is not in your face compared to this game, and definetly conveys a different tone.

huh which one? They never used Gen'ei before iirc
X-2 has higher standards than what was shown in the last panel.
It may be weeb, but it ain't weeaboo
Talk about pretending your opinion is fact.

1. GAF is not a singular entity.
2. The absolutely ridiculous user interface with things cluttering up the entire screen in Xenoblade X and buttrock music in that trailer didn't exactly have me dripping with excitement..
True, although the Yuna from X-2 is dead was just a phase.

Oh, it was meant for the Ibunroku portion. :O I think Genei is new.

In Japan yes, isn't Persona 5 summer in Japan?
Probably IR #FE is 2016 western release.
Dang 17 minute trailer :O
I think I might just skim through it lol

Nonono. I remember that fucking massage game and the hot spring scene.
Eh, who cares? Let the nay-sayers be.
We'll be playing amazing games while they stay here complaining about games they'll probably never play.

One of the best game in a LONG time?
It doesn't even look as good as Persona 5. And the trailer for that one was only showed a while ago
X-2 was worst than Persona when it came to weeb.

Regardless of anything else, I trust Atlus and Nintendo to make a fantastic JRPG.
Yep, this entire gif seems to be taken from the same battle turn.
I'm really curious to see more battle gameplay
As well as what more exploration in the real world will be like.
Persona 4 Golden has that Naoto jiggle scene so that could still be part of the game. Don't know if its actually in there, though.

Yeah, which is why SMT and FE fans were excited for this because it was supposed to be a SMT and FE crossover game. But instead we got Persona x Persona (with some references to SMT and FE).
Really hoping the subversion theory people are talking about here proves true, but even then, unless the whole trailer was a dream sequence I just can't.
Rewatching the old teaser makes me so sad at what could have been.

The first gif is from the anime. I never said Persona didn't have fanservice, but at least it wasn't that "BAM! in your face!" type of fanservice. Is overly present in this trailer, and the presentation makes it look like is really intentional to be so prominent.
Much more than in Persona 4 and miles away from what Persona 5 was presented to the public.
