HATSUNE MIKU'S UUGU ANIMU ADVENTURE FEATURING MARTH THIS IS TOTALLY WHAT YOU WANTED RIGHT

N-no

 

[Kuro]

This doesn't even look like persona to me besides the high school kids setting. I really don't get how people keep saying its persona.

 

[Kandrick]

is anyone in either fanbase satisfied with this?

Yes.

 

[Nirolak]

Persona Emblem is looking good.

 

[Hikami]

is anyone in either fanbase satisfied with this?

Yes

 

[zeopower6]

I wager OP is trolling us by adding smtxfe in the title simply because of FE. They are both irrelevant

Spoiler

I think.

wat? The old SMT title preface + the "hashtag/sharp FE" basically confirms that this is SMTxFE.

This doesn't even look like persona to me besides the high school kids setting. I really don't get how people keep saying its persona.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's way more Persona than what anyone was expecting... SMT usually does "high school" in a really different way and this is well, uh... o_o

 

[LuuKyK]

Given that they took SMT out of the title I'm guessing its now just FE in the style of an Atlus RPG.

Best decision they could have made.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I will wait for more info, but so far , the game is way different from what I expected, and not it a good way.

 

[StrangerInTheAlps]

I joked about it becoming Persona 4 x Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm sad this became a reality.

Why? Both are fantastic games. We can only hope it successfully bridges them.

 

[Pappasman]

Also I realize that it's not fair for me to write off the game based off notions of WHAT I thought the game would be after years of silence but I was expecting more along the lines of this:



And not idol bullshit. /:

that's not unfair. I mean, this is the concept they sold us on.

 

[Pandora012]

What happened to the SMT?

 

[Sou Da]

Conception Emblem (Awakening) is looking good.

There you go.

 

[taa0098]

I'll buy it. Seems pretty cool. apparently I'm not enough of a smt or fe fan to be put off?

 

[Qblivion]

This doesn't even look like persona to me besides the high school kids setting. I really don't get how people keep saying its persona.

Because high school setting is one of the defining features of persona?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

This doesn't even look like persona to me besides the high school kids setting. I really don't get how people keep saying its persona.

I think we really have to see more of this before jumping to any conclusions.

My mind thinks back to the Persona 5 teaser trailer, and how people made assumptions of what it would turn out to be. And then it turned out to be something totally different. We've seen more of this re-unveiled SMTxFE project now than P5 at that point, though.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create a Fire Emblem in our times, in the real world. Imagine a Pegasus that comes from the sky and lands on Building 109 of Shibuya, Tokyo. I always thought that would be incredible.

At the same time, I know it’s hard because of how Fire Emblem is. I visited many companies to express these ideas. When I went to Atlus, I was told that Shin Megami Tensei together with Fire Emblem is what I wanted.

So, I soon said that to Intelligent Systems and started this very special collaboration.
Oops! I shouldn’t say that the game takes place in the real world. We haven’t announced it, right?

The video portrayed exactly what he said and imagined back in late 2013.

 

[slash3584]

This is totally persona x fire emblem, but I love it.

 

[NotLiquid]

Real talk, this title's been in the dark for so long that I was never sure what to expect. That said, I've always felt that there's been a good level of context surrounding Atlus choice in design. That and for a while since it's reveal it's been mentioned how it would clearly be a "modern day" interpretation of the elements of both franchises.

It's not what I expected but I'm sure that it's going to be worth it. Atlus has rarely let me down.

 

[Gartooth]

Not lying that I'm pretty shocked at that reveal... and not in a really positive way.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

wow atlus! thanks for ar tonelico emblem!! can't wait to see girls undress in battle for no reason!

 

[Caronte]

Thank god I didn't buy a Wii U for this...

 

[UltraGunner]

I joked that the SMT part would mainly be Persona. Didn't think they would actually go through with it.

 

[Ozium]

atlus continues its pandering to Persona fans even though they labelled this as SMT

I am legit shook

 

[Valkerionseven]

Cool SMT's look, FE's characters, all while being a pop star who fights evil demons. Yup, I'd play it.

In before the community complains about the aesthetics, then complain when they do not want to bring it over because they complained about the aesthetics haha.

 

[Finalow]

How are people already saying this looks bad? Geez guys, I don't think anything can make some of you happy.

because it does? But please let's all be hypocrites and be happy.

would play anyway.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Looks awful. That's not SMT, not by a country mile.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

What happened to the SMT?

well persona is smt

it still is right?

right??

 

[Kandrick]

atlus continues its pandering to Persona fans even though they labelled this as SMT

Follow the money.

 

[Squire]

This sold me on the system. They finally fucking did it.

 

[Stereogatari]

Will it have a dating sim aspect is the real question here?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Looks like Persona yall say? This excites me.

 

[Ventara]

Although I never said it, I thought nothing would actually come of this, so I am surprised by this news.

Anyways, it looks okay. Not graphically impressive, but the design is alright. I wish we saw more of the gameplay instead of a bunch of anime cutscenes mashed together.

 

[Toxi]

wow atlus! thanks for ar tonelico emblem!! can't wait to see girls undress in battle for no reason!

They're not girls, they're 2000 year old demons. Get it right ~Baka!

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Really disappointed this appears to be closer to persona garbage than either SMT or FE. At least the 3DS game looks decent.

In that case, welp.

 

[Leafhopper]

More like Persona X Fire Emblem.

And the Fire Emblem is only the character designs really.

 

[jmizzal]

Yup, it's Persona x Fire Emblem now.

No Persona 5 WiiU so why not lol

I never played those games and only played Fire Emblem awaking so I will def check this game out on WiiU

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

my WiiU has been pretty neglected, this will get it started back up

 

[Pandora012]

well persona is smt

it still is right?

right??

Thought they were different things in Japan.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Why, yes.

And with Nintendo being involved, Europe is safe from Atlus bullshit.

Did they even show it on the EU direct?

 

[studyguy]

Cool.

 

[Aeana]

well persona is smt

it still is right?

right??

Persona never was "SMT" outside of Atlus USA's marketing materials.

 

[Jashobeam]

good to know that the Wii U will still be kicking in 2016

 

[Guess Who]

As a Persona fan this doesn't look interesting to me at all. It looks much more over-the-top and pander-y than Persona typically does.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Yeah, it definitely looks more like Persona than it does mainline SMT.

That shot of the partially destroyed, flooded city at towards the end though. I really hope that it ends up being darker than it first appears to be.

is anyone in either fanbase satisfied with this?

As someone that is part of both fanbases, yes.

 

[rrvv]

The video portrayed exactly what he said and imagined back in late 2013.

then he certainly forget to add "and it will full of anime trope in it"

 

[cj_iwakura]

Persona never was "SMT" outside of Atlus USA's marketing materials.

It sure managed the tone better than this.

 

[Shouta]

I like the idea, this could be something pretty neat if they develop it properly. Reminds me of the first time I saw Persona 1 compared to the SMT games at the time and that's really turned into something wholly different.

 

[Alex]

Looks like Persona yall say? This excites me.

I wish it looked like Persona, even if that betrayed peoples expectations for a more pure SMT title it'd be way above what this shit actually looks like.

ar tonelico emblem!!

There we go, that'll work.

 

[Sou Da]

Will it have a dating sim aspect is the real question here?

You know damn well it will.
