Its be even clearer if they used words to mean what they actually mean as opposed to an amazingly subjective shorthand for "I dont like this and refuse to admit that what I do like is part of the same medium" (which is the general context its been used in). But, no thats probably too anime an idea to catch on.
If this ends up catching on I will die of laughter xD.

This post is killing me lowkey
No problem; I think people are being too defensive on both ends of the argument in this thread. I've been taking a "wait and see" approach from the start, so I'm pretty much neutral about this for now. All I do know is that some who are being defensive in favor of this game are disparaging SMT and FE in the process unfairly.

welp
Ok, please do give me a reason why you go, what I first thought was naked but was a swimsuite, and lose a strip poker contest to power up? Heck don't get me wrong, I managed to power through the annoying bits of Demon gaze because there isn't much on the market and I was kinda done with Elminage Original but it still annoyed me that they had forced in those scenes. Will still buy, will still play, probably but I sure as hell will voice my opinion on something that just looks...well skeevy
Actually this is open to anyone. How does one power by being running around in a bikini work? is the jiggle power real? Does she hold some sort of secret it those melons that are in fact fake and just molded that way to conceal some nuclear warheads?
Man imagine that, laser equipped boobs that fire away as soon as someone stares for more than 1.2 seconds.
Get gamexplain to fire up that machine.
Gamexplain brah
She's solar powered man the more skin she has exposed to the light the more power she can get.
hehe must be later than I thought * .*)

I need this
Welp.
Where was this ever imply in the trailer ? please point it out.
Also for the bikini armor theory: It's magic, the guy who make the armor is a genius but also a pervert, his strongest armor is a bikini. Any question ?
This is also my stance. However I just want more Console JRPGS made by competent studios in general. This could add to that.

They are both quite popular these days. More so than they were 20 years ago and even then they were heavily steeped in anime of the time. Things have changed and they aren't going back to what they were.

The fuck are you even saying?
If you think these are waifu franchise, then you really need to look at games that would actually qualify as such.
Fire Emblem would never be as tragic as KEY anime.
Actually Fire Emblem w/ SMT might... so Angel Beats might work.
Fluffy, bubbly story that ends with incredibly sad subplots.
I think you're reading too much into it, we've zero context but given her companions reactions theyre equally shocked/surprised and its followed by a close-up of the enemy idol so maybe they confront the enemy idol and she thinks "Bitch isnt going to out-idol me!" *Idol transform*, the scene looks like its meant to be played for laughs to me. Either way, perhaps its best to get some context before praising/condeming anything
Same ,
I just want more JRPG man, and WiiU have like zero of them. Nintendo doesn't even bother with Paper Mario RPG man, i need a good console JRPG.
As someone who really, really likes anime and spends most of his time watching it as one of 2 hobbies, I managed to work out what people meant by saying something was "anime as hell" entirely through context very quickly.
Do people get this upset when hilariously bad DLC plans are announced and people respond with "Video games."? I've never seen this much arguing over something like this.
How are people disparaging SMT or Fire Emblem?
Look, I lived through the 90s anime boom. The first few Shin Megami Tensei games were released in the years immediately following Akira and preceding Neon Genesis Evangelion. Dark, post-apocalyptic themes, religious symbolism, violence, edginess, and so on were in vogue in anime at the time. That kind of aesthetic could be seen in Shin Megami Tensei played to stuff that was popular in anime at the same time. You could see it in both popular works like Akira and B-tier productions like Demon City Shinjuku.
When Atlus reinvented the Persona series as their new big RPG franchise with Persona 3, they refit it to serve an audience that was watching a different flavor of anime that was popular in the mid 00s. Atlus has always adapted to fit the changing times. Them making grimdark post-apocalyptic stuff was just as "mainstream anime" back in the 90s as idol stuff is today.
The older Fire Emblem games were the same. Their artstyle was an obvious product of its time.
Moreover, this new game is probably just the designers wanting to do something different and have fun with it. Making the exact same thing over and over gets boring. Miyamoto once talked about how it was the young designers who joined Nintendo were the ones who wanted to make stuff just like the games they grew up playing. The older designers were the ones who wanted to do something different and throw out convention.
Saying that classic Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei has always been anime isn't a slight or insult, its just stating simple facts. Their aesthetic and stories were always inspired by the kinds of things that were popular in their time. That's normal.
Anyways, I am a big fan of classic Fire Emblem and I like the Persona games, but I am excited for this new crossover game too. I honestly wasn't at all exicted for it until now, since a simple cross-over sounded dreadfully dull and unworkable. This is actually exciting.

Hey! I liked Angel Beats.

Well, I think it's pretty fair to say SMT is no longer really a part of this project.
It was pretty good.

They just should have explained this better, or talk about it when ready
It does seem more like a Kingdom Hearts type of game, borrowing their own little elements and worlds, while being its own thing, very separated from either series.

Everyone was dead the whole time?
Now that's a set-up.
Yeah, I'm talking about the discussions in this thread of people disparaging SMT, not this project.
Angel Beats rocked so if this turns out anything like that show I'm game.
And we'd get better music at least pls atlus pls

Ah, that makes more sense.
Actually... I'm now starting to like the idea of them all already being dead, in the afterlife, and from different time periods to justify the crossover.
The more I sit on this, the more I like it and the more curious I get. And really, I don't exactly know enough details to know where this game is going. It could follow a dark story with the veneer of an idol anime, or it could just be straight up happy-fun times.
All I know is that Atlus is making another RPG with elements from FE. I'm in, just for that.
