yeah, it's more like vita-tier
Perhaps those NPCs had dialogue so they weren't silhouettes.

The exploration GIF in here also applies to dungeons too.
Kiria is a pop idol in the game and the song we hear in the trailer is "Reincarnation", her no.1 single.

This isn't the next main game of the FE franchise and there's a new FE game coming up. FE fans have literally nothing to complain about.

I want to say it's silly to do when we know so little too, but then again knowing so little is why people are reacting so strongly to what was shown I suppose.
this is what a New 3DS game that actually needs the power looks like

I'm still having trouble processing that this still exists, even though I kept believing. I was ready for anything from this, except it not featuring any characters from the respective series. I'll wait for more info before I make any more judgements.
Hm, good point.
We'll see. I don't think it'd be some huge cost to make a field with regular walking around NPCs in a city area (I mean compared to the things they're already clearly spending money on based on the trailer), so it's hard to imagine they'd really try to just make them silhouettes in that area to avoid the work of making detail NPCs. I'm going to bet there's some story reason for it

apples and oranges. One pumped out a game that had been in development hell. They probably thought it would sell on the name alone.
Oh, got sure. No one will shut up about this once they really start to push it.

Seriously, this does not give him hope for the direction of the next Fire Emblem game.
Hyrule Warriors still exists, right?

I do want this game and I will very likely get it but I do have to admit that this is not what I expected when I first saw Shin Megami Tensei back at the original announcement. I was hoping for more of a dark apocalyptic looking atmosphere. Admittedly there may still be one, who knows when that footage takes place in game.
Well unless you dislike the direction Awakening took...
Yep, this entire gif seems to be taken from the same battle turn.
Interesting. The first and second character to attack, are also on the party on the right (and I assume their class is Lord and Pegasus Knight, going from the icons), but the two after, the girl and the red haired dude are not, and the blonde (archer) guy don't attack. But on the top bar, it looks like it's the blonde guy's turn right now. I have no idea of whats going on then xP

I meant in general. It's just weird how once someone expresses a sentiment everyone jumps on it and goes along with it, instead of discussing everything and trying to understand some context and get the bigger picture of the game. Lol.
I mean I understand a lot of people are on here, and many are just leaving comments in passing. Idk. It doesn't really matter too much.
The game looks interesting at least, I was hoping for more of a Fire Emblem feel to it, but I'm definitely interested in seeing where they take the game. I've been waiting for it for a long time
Hoping for something good.Stone Ocean

The next Fire Emblem will have anime-styled fanservice and dating sim elements? Oh no!
Oh wait

Really surprised at the backlash. Yeah, I'm not sure what this has to do with FE right now but it looks very much like an SMT spinoff and, despite the fanservice, there are interesting things going on in the trailer.
I'm not sure exactly what people were conjuring from the static stock images we had in the first trailer, but the last FE was a legit waifu fest and this clearly takes place at least partially in Tokyo with demons. It was never announced as a grim-dark mainline SMT game, but at the same time that is mostly what Atlus tends to give us anyway.
Worst case, I'm guessing, is that it is as silly as DeSu2 and as much fun to play.

Tiki herself appears in the trailer, not only in that poster. It's based on the young Tiki though, rather than Awakening's.
The official site indicates we'll see more FE characters revealed later too. It doesn't sound like we're getting SMT characters though...
The original reveal used the "Shin Megami Tensei" title even in Japan, where it's basically only used for mainline games. This re-reveal uses the "Ibunroku" title though, basically placing this in the same category as Persona and Devil Survivor.

Lots of people hated it, I hated Fi, Agetha, and Ruto only.

Or probably something ATB like? hopefully there'll be more gameplay mechanics reveal, at least during E3 later
Didn't realize the song title is mentioned in the trailer. Will rewatch later

I'm curious to how the gameplay will work. Is it your standard traditional JRPG? Dungeon crawler like Persona? Or is it still a SRPG but instead with arena battles?
I will admit I was hoping for traditional dark SMT, but this seems different. I like that its a new IP.

Pretty much. And just yesterday, some people were sure the game was canned.
I wonder how many will say they wished it was canned now lololol
So you're saying...there's a chance for Lucina?Tiki herself appears in the trailer, not only in that poster. It's based on the young Tiki though, rather than Awakening's.

im gonna go with the fantasy stuff is just virtual reality crap
real world is classic SMT
bunch of bullshit happens and the two worlds slowly combine

I thought you were saying how stuff in this game would never make its way into FE proper. Sorry, my mistake!
Honestly if it wasn't for the really generic? common? looking style and the horrible, horrible music, I'd probably be really excited for this game based on that shot of the ruined city. I really like the idea of subversion but if that's the case they went a little too far with the trailer.

I'd be worried if a spin off from the SMT franchise didn't look more like SMT than a cross over!

More than just a chance, she WAS in the initial reveal... which honestly doesn't mean much itself, but I would expect them to include as many characters as they possibly can.

It feels like their trying to make an original SMT game (spinoff) that is based on the concept of FE actually existing in the SMT universe.

Its pointless to wish it was canned. I wish it was different but its not like this is an established series they did a 180 on (and then betrayed everything the series stood for). Some people will no doubt like it.
And it doesn't even have the SMT part to the title anymore!

Lucina will be unlockable via her amiibo
The other two people that attack could very well be Personas or Demons or whatever they will be referred to in this game.

It's not necessarily just a cost choice. It's also an easy way to make a scene look more vibrant with less effort when it would otherwise be filled with a few types of background characters repeated. It's not an uncommon method in anime either.

maybe this is leading to SMTV with Fire Emblem characters and IF with demons
