I thought it sounded like Clara from ClariS.
If not, it's someone who has a voice very similar to hers because the timbre is close.

Both of their voices (Alice and Clara, tbh I can never figure out who is who because I've never heard them solo) are a bit less screechy than whoever they got to sing Reincarnation IMO.
I agree, almost all of the conversation here has been trying to relate it to Persona or something else. The game should have its own identity so it's different. I want something different, if I want to play Persona, I'll play some dang Persona. I'm interested in seeing what Atlus brings to the table gameplay wise for this, and story wise I know they are holding back what the game is really about, I mean we did get a cool look at a ruined city, and the dungeons seem interesting from the few pics shown.
Because people like to compare stuff? When someone asks about a game they know nothing about, they'd like something to compare it to.

Didn't believe it was actually SMTxFE until Bill said it. lol Thought it was Atlus localizing some game. Aside from the fanservice, I think it looks nice (though I was really hoping for a crossover between characters from both franchises). Love the song. And the girl's design reminds of Ariana's (EOII) design which is pretty cool.
Alice graduated from the duo and was replaced by a girl named Karen.
Clara has the richer voice in the mezzo range. If you listen to something like border, you can hear more recent similarities in timbre and the way she phrases her vowels.
Alice had the voice that could go higher that had less depth than Clara's. But I don't expect most people to be able to tell the difference like I can.
I don't think I'd call the vocalist in that trailer screechy. It's very calm, and the composition of the music is very similar to their more recent style over the past year. Depending on the register, her voice could sound different if she sang in a range she doesn't usually touch, which could've been covered by Alice in the past.

You'd think one of them would have picked up on that, then.

IGN wrote a Devil Survivor Break Record preview that was entirely Persona comparisons. Atlus games aren't going to be able to get away from them as long as it's their biggest franchise.

Glad they did this. They caught some elements I definitely missed (namely the zombie-like guy coming out of the giant silver knight-robot's helmet). Now to wait for GameXplain's analysis...

Has anyone noticed that the faces are similar to the Smash bros faces?At least the red haired guy with Robin. Which is weird, since those don't look like FE characters. I wonder if they look like that in Smash because of this game.
We'll, don't a lot of Atlus games have a similar battle system? Like etrian odyssey, Devil survivor, and persona? It looks like a turn based game to me with 3 characters. I'm sure it'll have its own twist, but will be fairly similar to traditional SMT combat

I know she did but I haven't kept up since Alice left. The vocalist in this towards the end gets pretty nasally when she holds the note out and it's like ehhhhhhhh....
Unfortunately, I think most Westerners are not aware of this >_> Even so, it's in katakana in the logooooo~

It has a time gauge, which alone is a big difference.
It's all good. I figure I'd throw my speculation out there because I'm usually pretty good with these things.
Ew. Well, whatever, I guess. It's a testament to how much more recognizable the series is getting, I suppose. Just as long as Persona doesn't overshadow everything else Atlus does.
Have you played those games? I really, really am not seeing the battle comparisons between SMTxFE and those games you mentioned. Is this the common opinion and I'm an outlier?
It has SMT/FE spells mixed with FE classes. It has some kind of transformation and cooperation element. It has a combo system? There is a set turn order, visible at all times, as though it'll be slightly action oriented. I'm really not seeing it...

I think they may have gotten seiyuu to sing songs in this. I am sure Japan is probably trying to figure it out.

Wait, so using and fusing demons in battle was from Persona and not SMT according to IGN? *sigh*
I do. Sounds bloody daft. If you're going to say it wrong, at least say "hash" not "hashtag". There is no tag.
You never explained how I misused idol
I never would, honestly. Not unless the person was sort of a japanophile and/or had seen a lot of anime. I have yet to watch the widow, but I imagine neither person fits that description.
This week was my first time hearing of this, myself.
the ign guy in this is kind of annoying so far trying to show off his japan knowledge, lol

One of them said they lived in a Japan for several years, I honestly think they should have known.

You keep using J-Pop instead of idol.
whats the difference and the reason for the distinction here.
*shrug* Honestly, I think you guys are being a bit unrealistic in what you expect IGN to know, in particular. The Persona comparisons happen and will continue to; For this game and others.
The series is popular and gaining. It's only natural they would mention that and not SMT. It would be great if people did their homework, but they're reporting on video games; the pressure isn't really there.

I've played SMT 4, Persona 3/4, and a bit of EO. It looks turn based and it has the weakness system. It's of course going to be different, but still similar (since it's kind of a SMT game)
I'm just guessing though, based on the footage.
don't look to into the "SMT-esque combat" thing from my original quote. Just saying that it has its roots in SMT gameplay while being contemporary japan.
Its kinda like calling a rocker a country singer.

They should all burn for misinformation. To hell with them!
With combos and a time gauge (for turn orders) I don't see the point of comparing it to SMT combat right now, when it's pretty far off from it.
I mean, what don't what these cats in the game are exactly and that comparison doesn't really work. Idol music is still jpop
CrimsonFist

I've seen people say it looks like Grandia, which I haven't played, but Child of Light also cloned Grandia and I can see the comparisons to that game, although we haven't seen enough footage to really judge properly.
The weakness thing does look very megaten though.
Hibiki Kurosawa
Member
Yep, Grandia and Child of Light have the turn order stuff that this is looking to have.
Well, Its really not the same thing. Idols can be pretty much in any music group and style, not only J-Pop. They could also not sing at all. They can be actors, politicians, promoters, or just have a weird ability that makes them popular.
I mean, there is not THAT MUCH of a difference since J-Pop is a huge part of Idol culture, but its not limited to just that and sometimes they have nothing to do with each other, so saying they are the same would be, well, wrong.
I don´t really mind, but there are people who have issue with not knowing the difference. I should know, my GF once got mad with me because I couldn´t tell the difference *shrugs*
Are you trolling? You know not all Jpop is idol but still insist of using them interchangeably like they are the same thing. Idol doesn't make the majority if Jpop ffs.

tbh, it's the same as when people think all Japanese music and videos look and sound like this:
its already doing that
I mean I aware of the difference. I follow idols and I listen to jpop. If were talking about idol music then were specifically talking about a performance style and presentation. As you mentioned yes there's curveball idol groups who music wouldn't be classified as pop but that's mostly the exception not the rule.
Like if we are gonna to be precise here were not exactly sure what to call these cats in this trailer since we have no context or understanding of what they are yet. Harping on this issue at this stage is playing semantics just because you can.
What are you talking about.
Fair enough, lets leave it at that since it seems so pointless to me, haha.
I was honestly really caught off by the trailer at first, I had no idea this was SMTXFE since the trailer was just launched with ATLUS at the front, and the music just made me even more confused. But I have to say I am glad of the direction it took, just the reaction has made the game pop up in a lot of gamers radars.
Lets not make assumptions. I clarified myself while you haven't really said anything on the topic.
No it isn't.
No. It being more popular than other Atlus franchises != it overshadowing them, in the way I was originally referring to, at least.

To be fair, Persona does kind of overshadow any other output that Atlus has >_>...

May I ask a naive question... why is Persona so popular?

Yeah, the FE symbols and classes have been more or less known for some time. I'm really curious to see how FE classes will be incorporated into battles and used for strategies.Not sure if these two were posted yet.

I dunno tbh. I don't really remember being around until after it had become a big deal and people had been spazzing about P3 and P4 for a while.
Appreciate it.
