I've played a few fire emblem games, and a few rythym games (Rock Band and Harmoknight, those count, right?) I am so insanely hyped for this, even though I'm not sure if I will like the gameplay at all.

Only atlus game I played was SMT IV, which I couldn't get into. I do think I could get into EO, but I'll probably wait till after I finish Xenoblade to do that.

The rate at which Atlus turned the Fire Emblem / SMT crossover into a weird rhythm game with absurd amount of anime is astounding THE AWESOME GHOST for, you see, Sega was the one who decided on this direction for the game that has been in development for the last three years. Sega, not Atlus. It's astounding and everyone said it would happen. Someone save Atlus, they would never do this on their own! :rolleyes:

Uh it's pretty clear the direction ATLUS have gone in recently is different, between having Persona 4 be a dancing game and a fanservice P3/P4 crossover and entirely dumping the SMT branding in general. It's not specifically about SMTxFE, which btw was "in development for 3 years" as pretty much something entirely different from the little they used to show and was basically cancelled and redone as an anime game

The Persona series never had the SMT prefix in Japan, and they started dropping it in the West with the first Arena game. The Devil Survivor 2 port came out this year and still carried the prefix.

No, it's not been "pretty clear". Atlus had planned for more Persona 4 spinoffs after P4 Arena was a major success in Japan for them -- things that were decided before Sega came into the picture. The only thing that changed within Atlus was that if Sega had not stopped by and acquired the company before Index filed for bankruptcy due to all the frauds they had committed over the years, there would be no more Atlus. Their employees would be in the gutter, their IPs sold piece by piece like THQ.

What are you basing this on? Because nothing the director has said points to it, and when they released that first teaser literally no work had been done on the game and they didn't even have a team assembled yet.

:dukedog:
Yeah there was no information at all about how SMT vs. FE would play until it was revealed in detail as a game about anime music saving the universe, which looks ridiculous and fun even if it is unexpected. Gamers and the press reasonably assumed it would be a strategy/RPG type game because of how SMT and FE normally roll but nothing was ever officially said or even hinted at to that extent.

The initial teaser trailers were just logos and "TWO FRANCHISES TOGETHER AT LAST!" type hype stuff with no information otherwise. It was in fact considered vaporware by some until the actual reveal because it was announced so early.

They read it "cross", like crossover or maybe the cross product of two beautiful anime franchises.

It sounds like the lyrics aren't in Inkling language anymore, but it's definitely the same song. It's a little hard to hear over the talking.

I kind of hope there's also the Splatfest plaza song too. Just for the awkward hops in the dance.

It's an umpteen-hour jrpg, not an eight-hour shooter. What you're seeing now very likely has taken most of that three years to put together.

Momentum is more of a factor than in World or later titles, but I've never really found it an issue in 3.

It's not actually the same song but it does have a remarkably similar segment. I can tell it's not the same though because I keep expecting the final part of the chorus and it never plays and it annoys me immensely.
