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

Nintendo X Atlus huh with 2 big publishers involved Illusory Revelations may get Big Budget. More $$ for development and expirementation we may get a Masterpiece. Nintendo and Atlus need to hit a homerun on this.
 
That first one looks like it's from the anime.

The other 2 are like 1 second clips.

I think the first one is from P4 Golden (not sure though).

We really haven't seen much more than that one...like...5 second clip, that was giffed, otaku-bait in the trailer either.
 
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.

They really should have just called this something new and cancelled SMTxFE. The reactions would have been FAR better.
 
I can accept a different premise from what I was expecting, even though I'm still a little disappointed, but what is really putting me off about the game is the gaudy artstyle. There's no clear theme, it seems like a total mish-mash of elements. Many SMT games have a solid visual foundation to build the game upon, like the chaotic/desolate Tokyo of SMTIV/Nocturne or the combination of rural Inaba and the twisted TV world in P4. There's a consistent style through many of the elements in these game but with IR#FE we have a mess of Japanese school life, medieval fantasy weapons and mythology, apocalyptic collapse, pop idol Akiba and fashion with an added helping of unnecessary sex appeal. It leads to a confused and cheap looking game that has more in common with modern fantasy anime than either of the series it's related to.

Hopefully the game itself is still a fun experience but after seeing how visually exciting P5 will be, my excitement for this is certainly dampened.
 
LOL, don't think this was the game that people were expecting it to be. Sure, it doesn't look much like fire emblem nor SMNT people are accustomed to, but judging by the presentation it could still be a decent JRPG.
 
Remember everyone:

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Reveal:
"ITS FUCKING DONKEY KONG" "Retro wasted their time on this PoS"

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Release:
"David fucking Wise!!!" "Best Platformer ever!"

Super Mario 3D World Reveal:
"Looks like crap" "They put crappy 2D Mario in 3D woopee"

Super Mario 3D World Release:
"This game looks amazing!" "GoTY Material!"

Hyrule Warriors Reveal:
"This game looks like a PS2 game!" "No one asked for this"

Hyrule Warriors Release:
"Theres so much content!" "This game is so fun!"

Dont get too worked up. This always happens.
 
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.

And people hated the bits of fanservice Golden added.

Those animated ones from the bath scene with them and the one later with Marie are so cringe inducing.
 
wonder why all those people are colored silhouettes in that one animated gif. Computer simulation?

Excited to find out :D

*nonsense list*

Don't worry, nobody will waste time remembering nonsense. All those games you listed had equal amounts of people (if not MORE people) adoring everything about them from the second they were announced. You just arbitrarily decided to internalize the negativity because you didn't like hearing it.
 
*shrug*

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.
I think wmlk posted it. Though from what I'm watching, the "trailer" is almost the whole initial part of the intro game lol.

I actually really like the looks of the battle :D

Basically this.

Just learn to trust Nintendo, guys.
 
I already wasn't interested in this, but after watching the trailer...I fail to see how this is supposed to appeal to a Fire Emblem fan at all...

No, thanks.
 
Maybe the game starts out as a idol life simulator, but it turns out 10 hours in that the idol agency was just trying to summon lucifer using GAF's salty tears. The apocalypse happens it just turns into a straight smt game. And Marth and Dante join your party.

DK is a wasted piece of shit though.
 
This will be like Team Ninja and Nintendo working together. FE fans will not be happy with them being in a Persona game.

Well the game will have to be terrible with a terrible story and terrible characters in addition to fanservice bullshit for that to happen. So far all that can be said is that there is fanservice bullshit.
 
NeoGAF does not have some hate of Nintendo. Right now, you see a lot of criticism of Nintendo on neoGAF because Nintendo has made a lot of problematic business decisions that have led to a disastrously unsuccessful Wii U console

NeoGAF may not collectively hate anyone, but an awful lot of "gaffers" do seem to have an irrational hatred of Nintendo, and seem to take a perverse pleasure in watching Nintendo "fail".

Nintendo has made a lot of dumb decisions in recent years, but that doesn't change the fact that the Wii-U is a great console with a solid library of games.

We really haven't seen much more than that one...like...5 second clip, that was giffed, otaku-bait in the trailer either.

But this was a official trailer for the game meant to advertise it, rather than a scene in he game.

Again this doesn't mean it represent the whole game but the style of this disappoints me.

Amir0x, do you know you are so right?

Could also be a way to show that these people are pretty much irrelevant in the life of the protagonist. Saves the trouble to create NPC models, fits in with the artstyle and looks pretty stylish in general.
 
The P5 one reminds me of some 70s TV show. Not sure how that's any different tonally than the other one.

P5 has a stronger art style
P5 has no J-pop
P5 doesn't spend half the trailer showing girls with a giant cleavage
P5 seems to be going for a "thief" theme. This other game seems to be going for an "Jpop Idol" theme
 
Hey, if the characters from Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem are guest characters in the game? Actually I can see to Hitoshura as a super boss and that would be so fucking awesome.

Nintendo kind of has the hang of this whole game development thing.
 
So can we actually discuss the game instead of peoples reactions?

Will this stadium play some role in the game since all combat shown has taken place in it so far? Also maybe spoilers?
There seems to be at least possibly 5-7 playable characters. The first 4 who are shown on the website plus their "transformations" Plus if you notice in some of the combat screens we clearly see a blonde blue eyed character whos possibly a female. Plus that blue haired girl whos shooting a bow who might be that blonde blue eyed character and
vaguely you can see the "evil" eye patched girl clearly standing next to the main female character in what looks to her doing a victory pose possibly post battle?.
Also I noticed the red haired guy and the sea green haired girl attacking when clearly their portraits aren't on screen during battles. Maybe you can have 3 characters in a party and the rest assist somehow providing support in battle? Also MC female seems to be fighting out of costume at one point so maybe their transformations are some power they cant constantly use?
 
They really should have just called this something new and cancelled SMTxFE. The reactions would have been FAR better.

No. Similar reactions would've probably happened.
You would've just gotten more "why was SMTxFE canceled for this garbage?" rather than "why was SMTxFE changed into this garbage?"

And people hated the bits of fanservice Golden added.

Those animated ones from the bath scene with them and the one later with Marie are so cringe inducing.

Whoa there. I liked what they added to Golden. Lets not generalize every one.

Agreed.

You have been spot on this whole thread.

Oh I know. Just saying two great developers can still create a bad game (Duke Nukem Forever).
 
Could also be a way to show that these people are pretty much irrelevant in the life of the protagonist. Saves the trouble to create NPC models, fits in with the artstyle and looks pretty stylish in general.

That was my first thought. Maybe its just a thing for an outside hub world to create the illusion of a populated city while trying to cut down on how intensive it will be. When you get to a location though all the npc are modeled normally because they can be interacted with.
 
Amir0x, do you know you are so right?

Well I would certainly hope so! ;)

NeoGAF may not collectively hate anyone, but an awful lot of "gaffers" do seem to have an irrational hatred of Nintendo, and seem to take a perverse pleasure in watching Nintendo "fail".

It's simply not true. At all. NeoGAF eviscerated Microsoft over Xbox One, and NeoGAF was completely swamp territory for Sony for YEARS after PS3 released in 2006. NeoGAF is a place that discusses all aspects of the industry, and as a result it has little patience for when a company makes really poor decisions about its consoles that end up impacting gamers.

There is no extra hate for Nintendo, or Microsoft, or Sony. It's just they all take turns getting under the heat when they are currently fumbling, because discussing business strategy and industry revelations is a huge part of what this community is all about. Right now it's Nintendo's turn because Wii U is performing catastrophically poor and it's an interesting topic to discuss why that is. So the "why" is obviously going to be a lot of negative, because something went wrong to end up here.

The problem is when people start to take it personally because they treat these companies like their favorite sports teams, then they start to see hate everywhere and ignore all the shit that doesn't conform to their confirmation bias agenda.

Nintendo has made a lot of dumb decisions in recent years, but that doesn't change the fact that the Wii-U is a great console with a solid library of games.

Nobody said it did. I like my Wii U a lot. But it's also possible to not think it's a great console with a solid library, and there's nothing incorrect about that view. And I've seen just as much love for Wii U as I have seen hate. That's because I'm not putting on the blinders and seeing red whenever I hear negativity about Nintendo, despite them being my favorite developer.
