Game takes place in Tokyo, with the alternate world being Mirrages and the power the characters use. and Sessions are a battle gimmick and music related. Also a joke on the original SMT of Shin Megami Tensei

So what was the point of this thread again?

that's a really flimsy justification

let's just rename Jaws "Speedboat Disaster Archipelago" while we're at it, it contains all of those things

Its a spin off crossover.
>movie analogy
Oh okay i know the reason for this thread. Give me a food analogy now and i'll give you another (You)

fine, have a vidya analogy:

it'd be like naming Grand Theft Auto "Heavenly Bandit Project: DX"

I liked this game
it had a cool battle theme

Tokyo Mirage Session-TMS->SMT
Hi brainlet. Give your thanks with a (you)

Its a spin off that has nothing to do with either main line titles its based on in a parody parallel world. Why do you keep treating it as if they took a mainline and renamed it?

Is this just a poor attempt to have a #FE thread? You could have just had a normal one, there really wasnt a need to be a tryhard about it

>crossover

actually, Hashtag FE was not a crossover.

It was just a JRPG with Fire Emblem shit and like zero SMT stuff, nothing like what we were teased:
youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo
NONE of the SMT characters appear in #FE

It's because we are not Japanese, the people that translate them aren't Japanese, and it's not as deep or mature as you think. Fucking weebs, I swear.

I'm honestly amazed this didn't cause more of an uproar. To me, this is like that announcement trailer Rare made for Banjo-Kazooie, only to find out it was for fucking Nuts & Bolts.

youtube.com/watch?v=QLWLdO9GLWM

Anna dresses up like Jack Frost. Also, the gameplay is clearly more SMT than it is FE.

>it's not as deep or mature as you think
i didn't think it was either, i literally called it "garbage word salad"

Its a crossover, just because your edgelord god and satan killers didnt show up, it was literally Persona with FE personas. And their were costumes for some of the SMT protags anyway.

>Hashtag
Actually, it's pronounced "sharp".

Japs are stupid when it comes to interviews and hiring people

>Anna dresses up like Jack Frost

ohhhhh ONE costume, that totally makes it a crossover.

NOT.

it was like 2 years between
youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo
and
youtube.com/watch?v=0fS24IxelBA (which still carried the crossover name)

They should port it to switch.

Ironically it was more like Persona x FE.

>Heavenly Bandit Project: DX
That sounds fucking great and I would buy a game with that title way more easily than one with a boring title like GTA. You should probably pursue a career in marketing.

#FE gameplay is literally press turn with weapon triangle. Get over it #FE is a crossover between SMT and FE as much as Kingdom Hearts is crossover between FF and Disney

>as much as Kingdom Hearts is crossover between FF and Disney

you mean like how the first KH game was an actual crossover?

The level of "crossover" in #FE is the same level of "crossover" that KH3 had

#FE wanks way more FE than smt itself.

As the staff said, it's a FE game made by atlus. The game even do references from old ass shit like this.

I really hate this game didn’t live up to the expectations
I wanted a tactical rpg with alignments and demon fusions
Why did they throw away all that potential for another fucking Persona game?

I’m pretty sure if they shorten the script and ported it to switch Persona fags would eat this shit up like a fat boy eats cake.

I liked this game.

check this epic smt crossover

Localized version went full retard.

Game plays nothing like Persona. It don't even have a calendary system.

>I wanted a tactical rpg with alignments and demon fusions
Play majin tensei

>Why did they throw away all that potential for another fucking Persona game?
Because ISIS told them to

>Why did they throw away all that potential for another fucking Persona game?
Because one series is actually popular and makes bank, and the other doesnt. Can you guess which is which

>ohhhhh ONE costume, that totally makes it a crossover.
There are a handful of outfits for the main cast that references SMT protags. But whatever, i guess you just want to be a fag today

>There are a handful of outfits for the main cast that references SMT protags

see .
DLC Costumes =/= Crossover

Everybody forgets that this game is idolshit, and that means it's already fucking hot flaming garbage.

Yes?
#FE started as DeSu x Pokemon but cancelled because it's too similar with Pokemon Conquest. Then Yamagami and Ando came and bring IS since they wanted to make FE game that set on the future (awakening supposed set in mars but ninty rejected it). This is when SMTxFE first trailer came out.
IS being IS refused the crossover to be a straight crossover (an srpg starring fe heroes with smt demons). They demand the project to be a game that IS themselves can't make.
Meanwhile Ando managed to get Avex to bill the project, and then Atlus make the game based on Avex demand. And that's the story of SMTxFE becoming the game we knew today

I guess
Still there was no persona audience on Nintendo
Especially not the wiiu

Switch port when

And explain how well TMS #FE did
Hell fucking SMT Apocalypse did better which literally took the persona formula and used it as toilet paper

Well they made a horrible decision and I’m happy it flopped

>it's another shitty "wahh I hate #FE" Yea Forums thread
Holy shit just get over it you babies, it's been nearly 4 years.

I liked the game for its gameplay and cute girls, that's good enough.

people still remember that SMTxFE is idolshit

I mean it has this for fuck's sake:
youtube.com/watch?v=MTl8gDQiKiE

Sold around 100k+

Which puts somewhat close to DS smt games in term of sales. And Avex got what they want with promotions.

It did okay.

God, this is so fucking bad.

>niche Wii U game didn't sell gangbusters
Color me shocked. You forget they had two concerts that sold out as well as artbooks and music CDs, they very likely turned a decent profit.

Hell, even IS is more willing to acknowledge #FE than it is something like Warriors considering they include it in their newest Cipher TCG set that's billed as including characters from every game yet doesn't have Warriors in it.

Nigga, its same fucking song that everyone and their mother hear on FEH startup.

Stop being a hypocritical bitch .

This song is rad as fuck

If they port this game over to Switch there had better be a complete and total retranslation and everything that was cut needs to be added back in.

Ask Nintendo

Talk shit on how corny "FAAAIA EMBUREMU" is all you want but "KOWASHITAI" is legit

what needs to be retranslated aside from chapter 2?

Well, for starters.

NOA made Barry more blantly a pedo. Not mention that DLC is missing.

Not only does Kiria look like a crackwhore, I can confirm that she is indeed a crackwhore

Like 90% of the people that get hired for translation/localization are either garbage at Japanese, an actual Jap thats garbage at English, memelords that want to insert le epic funnay me mes xddd, or a tranny SJW with an agenda to push.

Wanna be more mad? The dev team was actually split in two with one side wanting what you're describing and the other wanting what we got. It's SPORE all over again.

Wasn't it Atlus USA that did the actual translation, and then Nintendo just censored costumes or whatever?

The swimsuit DLC was never added

Where the hell do you live where crackwhores look like this?

Atlus blamed nintendo who blamed Atlus.

But NoA was in charge of it. Since it's a Nintendo game for all intends and purposes.

Why haven't you learned Japanese if you want to play a Japanese game that isn't changed at all?

Not even need that.

Shit got a patch like a week after localization.

I unironically want to so I can avoid bad localisation but I don't even know where to start with it.

This but unironically. That name is amazing.

I'd take a pic of my Japanese special edition but I'm too lazy. I 100%'d the Japanese version, I even grinded out everyones stats to 999 using the DLC and +9'd their best weapons and skills. It was unbearable but worth it.

Why continue to complain about it instead of actually making the first step?

As soon as this game is on a decent console and not only in a desd console I will get it

>Speedboat Disaster Archipelago
That's fucking superb

because I can't, ICANT

No? See It's mainly ISIS fault

What's he saying?
It's up to the publisher but in the mean time look at Tsubasa's spirit in Smash?

I'm still mad they censored this outfit. I don't care what fags say it looked great.

Attached: GeneiIbunRokuFE_KiriaCensorship03.jpg (1280x720, 419K)

The actual Japanese title is Record of an Illusory Tale #FE
Or something to that effect

I'm immediately more interested in Speedboat Disaster Archipelago and Heavenly Bandit Project

Because I literally don't know where to begin, it's not like I'm doing anything until college starts back up in October, so if I knew how to get started with it I would.

I believe that one changed even in the Japanese version. Still a real shame though.

I think it was the actual VA who complained about it so they had to change it.

He said that he can't do shit.

I prefer the censored version

He's saying he's not in a position to answer the question(if #FE will come to the Switch) and to talk to the published instead(Nintendo)

Download the Kana Mind app and learn kana over the weekend

Then download the Genki workbooks from the resources at djtguide.neocities.org
Now get to work

it sounds cheerful but then you read the translated lyrics

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BA BA BA BAAA BAAA!

He says it's up to publisher (nintendo) to decide a switch port and since Tsubasa spirits in Smash Bros it's not impossible
Can't have zipper pantsu on karaoke

Last I saw was like 55K world wide

Why did this never get a switch port?

I always headcanon that Tharja wrote the lyrics for her songs, she did make the uta-loid software somehow

Fuck off Raul.

it's disappointing because it was even changed in the art book. the only proof it existed is the trailer and a few appearances in the into animation they forgot to change.

no it was because of some gay karaoke shit

No

>in the into animation they forgot to change.
They stealthily placed someones head in front of it. But Tsubasa had a little charm on her cellphone of a chibi Kiria that has it

SMT 4 pulled in just under onemillion copies, where are you getting 100k? And that isn't a good num gor for a game that required numerous new 3d assets to be made, SMT4 is like 70% reused assets.

Not him but isn't DS=Devil survivor

I unironically enjoyed this game more than Persona 5.

SMT never exactly sold well. On top of that Avex backed the damn thing while Nintendo and Atlus got their money.

DS is generally used for devil summoner since it came first, devil survivor is desu

Holy shit, somebody get this man a job naming things

Thanks senpai

Of all the things to complain about, you picked Japanese titles, an area of language where English is superior 150% of the time.

You never saw that because the only statement estimating a US-only number was around there.

Probably will as E3 filler expected it like mid July

I find absolutely funny how assblasted people were by this. I consider myself a SMT fan and still loved this game, with its cringe and all.
The vast majority of the OST is absolutely on par with the mainline OST, even if a completely different style.
