So...if I'm understanding this correctly, and I've only ever played Awakening so I'm going off that, we have ordinary high school students gaining the ability to summon Persona's based off Fire Emblem characters (like Chrom) who use them to fight against these "Mirage" enemies. Also, there's idol singing involved, skimpy outfits, and Tiki as an idol .
Wish we had gotten to hear that song from the first trailer again, I really liked that one . Well, the graphics and character designs look pretty good, so it's got that going for it in my opinion .

so chrom went from this
to this and caeda went from this to this can't say i was expecting that thought they might keep their FE designs like tiki did not to say that their new designs are bad just unexpected even if we saw them in the previous trailer, (there was nothing to suggest they were actually chrom and caeda in the first one)

and since the main character's transformation looks more like marth than chrom right down to the weapon, while the others still semi look like there FE Personas,
oh maybe that's the big twist that the MC is marth reincarnated in the SMT world

Just finished watching the Treehouse demonstration for this and it made me feel quite a bit better about it. I still can't say if I'm really huge fan of the overall aesthetic, but I can start to see some of the SMT influences better in the overall gameplay. Though it looks more PersonaxIdolmaster more than anything related either FE or main SMT games really.
In any case it looks pretty fun. For people who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLeOta98VrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwoM_dT21vA Last edited by Iron Maw; 2015-06-17 at 13:39. |

Kotaku uploaded a single video which included roughly the full sequence, including the boss battle.
Thus far the visuals are crazy but in a good way, although yeah, it looks more like Persona than SMT in term of "feeling".

HA! I knew Tsubasa and Itsuki were childhood friends, but I'm glad for the confirmation nonetheless. Which makes Itsuki not Marth even more perplexing, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
I don't get Chrom's design, but I can see where Caeda is coming from. Long gloves + breastplate, and I'm glad they returned her to Zettai Ryouiki. XD

So after watching the Treehouse Live:
- Anna or an Anna-look-a-like working in a convenience store in Tokyo. Can't believe I didn't think of that . - We've got the level of detail to the real world environment that you'd see in a Persona game, and the world the Mirages inhabit also seems Persona-ish (or Shin Megami Tensei-ish, I guess?). We then have Fire Emblem characters inhabiting the world as NPC's or as Mirages . - So basically its Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem X Idolmaster, in that there's a big idol and performance element in the game. We have idol performance sequences with the seiyuu actually singing their characters songs, idol performance attacks, numerous idol outfits for the female cast... you have to at least admire the creators dedication to implementing the element into the game and accurately at that. The game's also probably going to have an awesome soundtrack (if you're into J-Pop at least). Happy to know that Reincarnation is Kiria's song . - Though I echo the question as to how they'll localize the music. I imagine they'd probably just keep them as is rather than dub them over, because of all the hassle doing english versions would result in and because of how many songs will likely be in there. - I wonder which FE character Kiria is attached to? - So it seems like the Support function from Fire Emblem games will be present through the side stories of the main cast, while also being reminiscent of social links in that it's you (Itsuki) interacting with the rest of the cast in their respective areas of the entertainment industry that develops these side stories. The video shows how Itsuki's choices can influence the characters, and raise their Performa's, and developing the side stories can apparently lead to those special, cinematic attacks in combat. - The texting function looks cool, and I like how the text are divided between being main story related and side story related . - Some of the special attacks look awesome and some of them look hilarious. That Toma and Eleonora one . - So, considering the other Mirages and Itsuki's "performance" outfit better fit Marth than Chrom, I wonder if Chrom might possibly evolve into Marth later in the game?
