Illusory Revelations#FE (SMTxFE) - First Trailer, Winter 2015 [Up: Screenshots]

Game looks so happy, though definitely buying it and a Wii U. Character designer is pretty amazing. Best.

So, can some of you flatus nerd start digesting this into something I understand? The trailer gave me migraine but the parts with the city looked interesting.
 
Looks pretty cool. I wonder what the battle system is like. Looks like they change in to Fire Emblem(esque) characters?
 
I feel like I'm insane for thinking this doesn't look much like persona at all, given all the Persona comments.

Am I insane?

The only persona connection I'm getting is that there's high school kids. Other than that the character designs don't look like Persona at all. The music doesn't have a Persona feel. The Battle system didn't look very Persona like...and there's pretty aggressive in-your-face fanservice on top of all that...

I love Persona and I don't get Persona from this at all.

Yeah I don't get the Persona comments either, it looks nothing like it. Is it because they're high school students? Oh wait, that would be just like every other SMT game....
 
Totally enjoyed this trailer. Day 1 for me. If this and Persona 5 both come out next year... that's gonna be a good year. *crosses fingers for both coming here this year*
 
Looks nothing like SMT, Persona, OR Fire Emblem. Except for maybe the new one. Argh these animu designs are killing me I swear. This and FE If...I hate all of this idol shit, too. Someone hug me.
 
I knew that the FE and SMT mix would be crazy, but I'm not sure this is good or bad crazy. It's still the most likely game that will make me buy a Wii U.
 
This...was definitely not what I was expecting (although, I was expecting that it had been killed off by now).

I'm...not feeling the art-style, and this is coming from someone who is a huge Persona fan (P5 has been my most-anticipated game since 2009). It's kind of hard to say what on earth this game actually is based on just the video they released, other than it's probably borrowing liberally from Persona's school life/battle dichotomy. I'm looking forward to learning more about it, unless they dive too hard into the fan service abyss, which is always a danger with any sort of media coming from Japan these days. Gotta appeal to those creepy-ass otaku...
 
There's a whole lot of people reading more than they should in to a cinematic trailer with 0 gameplay.

My body is ready.
 
Winter 2015 huh? So 2016 for everyone else? Yeah, don't know about that. I still want more info on the story and stuff. For some reason this is screaming Persona, but that is not a bad thing.
 
What was that? Ugh, really hating the art style and setting of this. Barely resembles either series, what is the battle system even like? Looks like an arena setting? My assumption was Fire Emblem battle system with SMT elements like demon fusion. I will keep an open mind but hard not to be a little disappointed.
 
Based on some of the reactions in here you'd think some crummy B tier studio was developing this.

It's still going to be a good game even if it isn't the brooding SMT you wanted.
 
Didn't like anything I saw there besides the fire emblem styled models. Didn't see anything that looked like mainline SMT, seems like they tried to take the persona game type with none of the style at all.

Just removed anything unique about the franchises and made it look like some generic budget anime jrpg. Obviously it's just our first look at it, but it made a horrible first impression.
 
This has to be the most dissapointed I've been with a Nintendo announcement in quite some time. I've been waiting to hear more about this game on every nintendo direct ever since they first mentioned.

But it looks nothing like what I expected. I can't hardly see any elements of Fire Emblem and it just looks like Persona with lower production values and more Jpop singing and idols in stupid costumes.


I mean, I know the first "teaser" they showed was some last minute video they probably made in like 10 minutes. But they use concept art from SMT2 and Nocture and SMT IV.

Should have promoted it with this:

To not get my hopes up
 
Wait did people actually want some awkward crossover with Fire Emblem characters hanging out with SMT characters? I'm happy it looks like a legit RPG that stands on its own while taking from both franchises, instead of some dumb Cross Edge type mashup.
 
We've seen less than 2 minutes of the game and barely know what's actually going on with the setting. I personally don't want to jump to conclusions, but you can decide that you've seen enough to.

Do you think that all of the idol stuff and fanservice is just a red herring?

To me, this basically looks like Omega Quintet but with more boys, at least visually.
 
The Persona comments really are confusing to me. It's like people see high school students and just respond "IT'S PERSONA!!!"

That's actually the one element that, if they got rid of, would probably make it feel less like Persona than anything. None of the other stuff is like Persona at all aside from involving school.
 
I liked it; even though I have no clue what's going on with all the underwear/bikini stuff. But some of the monster designs looked great and the world with the stylized people looks cool. Will keep an eye on this.
 
See, that's what I mean. We barely get that from the trailer. How does the apocalypse fit into the world that we're seeing?

This thing looks anime as hell right now, though.

Imagine that. Two anime game series looking and acting awfully anime.
