Yuuuu. That ruined Tokyo never looks more pretty lol.
In SMT4
While this one still looks so pretty.
I don't think ruined Tokyo is what we're seeing there.
Maybe all the idols in Tokyo-as-it-was-before-it-got-effed came from FE-land?
The second Devil Survivor is much goofier and turns up the trashiness in the designs. So this trailer definitely fits along that path.
Well that's another theory I guess? I feel that it is still Ruined Tokyo here as the building seems to have been filled with plants and wild birds.(+ this had SMT love bits which love destroying Tokyo)
For some reason I think the vocalist in the song sounds a lot like Clara from ClariS. The timbre of her voice is really similar, and the vowels are pronounced the same way. The composition is right up that type of song they usually sing too.
Though, they finally replaced Alice a little bit ago.

Well we're talking about the director of Langrisser and Growlanser games as well. He has no issues with engaging a (great) hentai artist design characters for his games.

Wait, Atlus owns this?

man i had no idea some of you guys were unhappy with this, i think it looks great!
it not being a tactics game and more like a high school kids RPG means I'm probably gonna be able to finish this one...
Hiks. Such strong word. And here I thought the character design is not bad especially from Durarara designer.
Read what I said again!

No they aren't, screw the haters
I admitted that the anti-gravity boobs looking too ridiculous somewhat

Yes, people who like the art and designs of Devil Survivor should be the type to respond positively to this trailer.
But Otome's melon is not so "okiii" lol. So it is not really defying gravity.

So you're throwing the Devil Survivor team under the boat.: p

It reminds me of Huke, which is a good thing.
The salt mines must be working overtime for this thread to be this long!
Bu-but the designer is not Yasuda!
Both are ridiculous but this somehow can't fit into my taste at all

I don't know. Reasonably excited I guess. The J-pop idol setting is a big turn off for me. But who knows where the story goes.

It's all good, fans of Vita idol games and Compile Heart and Ar Tonelico games will also find a lot to love in this trailer.

I'm fine with most of his durarara designs, and I fucking love his Yozakura Quartet art, but the ones in DS2 were pure garbage.
The example you picked especially.

Realistically, almost no one is going to play this game. Even if it does end up being a better game, I doubt most people will care.
As others have said, for those of us who own both systems, we'll just have a very good year.

Yeah I look at this and I have no idea how people can say "This is exactly what an SMT x FE cross-over ought to be!"
After the initial knee-jerk reaction...I'm a little more okay with what this is turning out to be, especially after seeing the FE characters re-imagined as SMT-like demons...But I still wish we were getting grimdark demons taking over FE land or Knights and Loli dragons fighting demons in post-apoc Tokyo. I mean, we're still getting that but I'd rather substitute the J-Pop for some quality SMT brand edge.
I will be happy that I got two kick-ass games to play from a company who makes products I like.
I don't like Compile Heart games aesthetic, especially Neptunia one so his post should make sense now.
I'm completely in line with your post. I'm fine with this, though rather unexpected, but I wished it isn't J-Pop Idol like that.
No? They're being given the chance to make something different and substantial here. If they succeed, it's good for everyone involved. But even if they fail, Atlus would not have spent resources which could have gone to another SMT game instead. Devil Survivor games don't sell much anyway. I love the games but let's not pretend that they're a huge success for Atlus compared to other series they have.
Yeah but it is still on a WIIU, but i guess things can go well if the right people are catered to?
Sorry if this is a bit harsh, Aostia. But it seems Wii U is still going to get new game right?^_^

People actually thing this is going to be on par with P5? Visually alone it's not even in the same league.
Reminds me more of the shitty Vita rip off games like that zero one or that conception one.
I didn't like her either.
I didn't say durarara's designs were especially good or anything,
I liked YQ's Nurse looking variants quite a bit more as well, but I didn't especially like her outfit either.

In durarara, we had almost equal character to Otome there though.

Visually, PQ is not in the same league as P4 either. Still a fuck of a lot more fun to play unless you really love the dating sim aspect of Persona.
Looking at that bar at the top of the screen during the battle scenes reminds me a lot of the IP Gauge system from the Grandia games. I won't get too excited and claim that it's the case, though. It may just be some kind of turn-based indicator. While it may be just that the characters were doing actions in every battle scene, the bar itself was static throughout the trailer, so I don't know what to think about that.

Honestly, I'm pretty interested in this, and more than I would be in a pure crossover. I feel like if it were a pure crossover, it would just be mashing characters up in ways that make zero sense ala Project X Zone, and I'm not super into that. However, it seems like they're basically creating a new IP which weaves FE into a modern day setting, and I think that could be more interesting than a straight mash-up.
Granted, like most here I'm not too wild about the aesthetic and would have preferred a less extravagantly J-pop vibe, but I don't really care all that much so long as the gameplay is good. Not to mention most of the recent Atlus games have been at least fairly "animoo" anyway so I'll likely be able to overlook it in the long run.

was there for a reason... Honestly, I really like what I'm seeing, from a lot of perspectives. I like that a team that was previously mainly on handheld stuff is doing a console JRPG.
I like that it appears to be more its own thing, borrowing from both franchises, rather a straight cross over. That way, it can focus on its own strengths and merits, rather than be a crossover fan service fuel game.
And it's not a popular opinion, but I like that it's different, in a very Japanese way,(idols) Every now and then we hear Persona get criticised for always being about high school. So now we get idols and stuff. What's wrong with a new perspective? Why must it be seen as pandering, just because it's idols instead of say...salary man?
For all intents and purpose, this is practically a new IP.
hahahahaha

Watched the trailer again and it looks like the main characters can channel the souls of classes from the Fire Emblem universe and equip/materialize them as robots/weapons or armor. The knight class becoming a motorcycle and the pegasus turning into a robotic pegasus. Reminds me of Djinns from Magi.
actually, it doesn't seem so. SMT x FE was announced in 2013; Fatal Frame 5 was already released in Japan.
We'll see if N will actually announce new games for a full 2016 support. If they will not at E3, as THEY said alongside the Zelda delay, not me, I think we could just see the release of already hinted/announced games (such as Zelda, this, Pokken and Project Treasure...maybe some delayed software) in 2016.
But they don't need to. We're on NeoGAF discussing a new crossover game between Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei. We're all humongous weeb nerds that know exactly what someone means when they say something is too anime.
That was the worst part of the new trailer, and the "Oni-chaaaaan~" stuff only lasted a few seconds. The skimpy outfit idols were the main focus for almost the entire SMT x FE trailer. Huge difference.
Edit: whoops, looks like I forgot to refresh and for the most part the anime debate seems to be over. I'll stop now before this derails again.
All aside, the game does look interesting. I just need to know a bit more about what theyy're doing with the story, themes etc.
