Here’s The Shin Megami Tensei & Fire Emblem Crossover Project Trailer

Nintendo of America and Nintendo Europe finally gave us a closer look at the Shin Megami Tensei & Fire Emblem Crossover Project on the Wii U. The role-playing masters at ATLUS are developing a truly modern RPG, where everyday life exists alongside a secret world of fantasy, including characters from the Fire Emblem series. We’ve yet to get a release date for the game.

  1. was excited for this one but now I’m not sure about this one. need to see some actual game-play footage. When I first saw the trailer on Nintendo Direct I didn’t realize that this is the Shin Megami Tensei & Fire Emblem Crossover.

    1. I think is more of a thematic crossover, kinda like Xenoblade Chronicles X is a crossover of the whole Xeno Series (mech from Xenogear, story from Xenosaga and combat from Xenoblade)
      I think they are taking inspiration from all the SMT games and their spin offs like Persona and Devil Survivor and they adding the fantasy and class elements from FE

      1. Well, sure, if “thematic crossover” means entirely dismissing Fire Emblem and just making a Persona game with Fire Emblem characters substituting personas, it’s insulting that they think so lowly of Fire Emblem that they won’t even try to include anything more than a few characters and, worse, play them as some kind of battle pet.
        Eh, another developer going into my Never Buy list, they’ll fit nicely right beside Ubisoft.

        1. The Fire emblem characters are there but they are hard to recognise due the art style plus we were told this was gonna be a modern setting
          Not to mention that the 2013 didn’t tell us anything about the crossover for all we know it could have been FE Character summonign demons from SMT
          Honestly i’m Glad they went for this colorful angle Cuz i’m tired of all the edgy bullshit, it may not be the gritty game people expect but i think this game has potential plus a crossover doesn’t need to between characters of the franchise to be a crossover Xenoblade Chronicles X is a good example of this it mixes a lot of the element of the Xeno series but it’s it’s own entity look i understand not liking the asthetics of the game since a lot of people don’t like the animesque style but i think people really need to stop bashing a game that we Barely got any info
          If this doesn’t change your mind then keep in mind that the game is call Genei Ibunroku#FE which denote that the game is more of it own entity with elements of both franchise is this game doesn’t apeal you well i’m sorry pal but that’s how things are

          1. This
            People are salty because they made that assumption that this game would just be about SMT and FE characters thrown in together. Now that they realize that the initial title was more of a code name and that this is just a brand new spin-off, they’re pissed.

            1. No, people complain because SMT usually is dark and depressing, FE usually is serious and fantasy-driven and this shit game is putting some form of Hatsune Miku shit in the forefront.
              IT’S ABOUT THE TONE, RETARD.

    2. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one, I thought it was going to be another anime-based game until it said SMT x FE. We didn’t even see any gameplay. ;(

        1. No, but I am farsighted. All I saw was characters running around and something that looked like a battle. Maybe I’ll watch the direct later to see if I missed something. ^_^;

          1. To clear confusion
            It seems the title has been changed from being called “SMT X Fire Emblem” to just being called Genei Ibunroku#FE to sorta denote that it’s less a crossover and more a new project with influences from both sides poured in. Which proves my opinion of this been a thematic crossover instead of a direct universe crossover still i hope people give this game a chance don’t judge a book by it’s cover
            I hope people don’t be like the SMT purist AT NeoGaf they are having a meltdown right now

            1. I never said I wasn’t going to buy the game because I love both franchises very much, but I simply didn’t see much gameplay that looked like anything from either franchise.

              1. I Was talking in general since a lot people start bashing the game after the trailer came out specially at NeoGaf don’t go to NeoGaf right now they are having a meltdown about this
                Either way i was just trying to clear the confusion about the game sorry if i came out as a prick :D

                1. I knew you were talking about the general public, but I wanted to put my two cents in as well. I don’t go to NeoGaf, but thanks for the warning. And you didn’t sound like a prick at all, you were just clearing things up and providing information. :)

            2. As much as I love both Fire Emblem and SMT.

              I think there are a lot of obnoxious elitists in both fanbases.

    3. This is just the trailer idiot. I bet you start out with a happy and exciting setting and then it gets darker as you progress through the story.

    1. Same. It looks like it’s gonna be an amazing game. I’ll be looking forward to seeing more updated footage of this potentially great game

  2. I see everyone is quick to call this “Persona X Fire Emblem” and spew some hate. Regardless it looks like an amazing game to me, and should be an absolutely interesting game to play.

  3. Hmm… Can’t say I am a fan of the music (maybe even worse than Xenoblade Chronicles X’s second trailer song). Seems a little too light-hearted. I mean- aren’t Shin Megami Tensei game a little more mature than the J Pop theme in the trailer?

    The overworld looks pretty cool. The combat doesn’t really remind me of Fire Emblem, which may or may not be for the best. Still looking forward to the game- but I just hope it’s a bit darker, has a bit of strategy, and permadeath would be a plus.

  4. Once I saw that Atlus was tweeting about the Direct I kept telling people that Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem was gonna be shown today but most of them didn’t believe me, well I hate to say I was the one that told you so well…..I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!! To all of the haters that it was cancelled and that it was vaporware, I got one question to ask………HOW THAT CROW TASTE??? LOL!!!

  5. Wow, a very pleasant surprise.

    At first I thought Nintendo paid Atlus to get a Persona game on Wii U. I’m glad we’re finally getting an anime game since Playstation seems to get all the good ones.

  6. I’m glad this is Persona-ish, because who doesn’t like persona, amirite?

    So maybe they…become soldier-ish things to fight other…soldier-ish things?

    There is not a lot of stuff in this trailer I understand.

    One thing is for sure: the art style for the characters is very reminiscent of the Zero Escape franchise.

  7. This game is my most looked forward to game of this Nintendo Direct. I really enjoy the Persona series, and would like a new rpg on my Wii U.

  8. 1. Didn’t watch the direct but watched the trailer and getting day one
    2. Just like what paid enthusiast said lol and what I have been saying people making assumptions and either get shifted on or just have to wait for more information to be talked about

    1. Exactly bro. People (not all) just need to be patient and see what happens. This is what happens when start talking out the side of your neck, you get exposed by a bomb of an announcement like this lol

      1. I think the problem is that people don’t understand that this is a thematic crossover as the Name of the game in japan is Ibunroku#FE to sorta denote that it’s less a crossover and more a new project with influences from both sides poured in.
        A little war nimh for everyone looking for info about the game DO NOT go to NeoGaf they are having a MeltDown about this Geez… This is the first real trailer WE have of the game.

  9. I’m glad to finally see this game for once. However, honestly, this doesn’t look like SMT x FE to me. Where’s Marth, Ike & Lucina from Fire Emblem? Where’s the demons including the Jack Bros (because everything counts) from SMT?

    1. Tiki and Chrom are in the trailer but due the different art style is hard to tell plus this is now call Genei Ibunroku#FE in japan which pretty much says this is a spin off that takes inspiration from both franchise rather than a universe crossover between characters in other words like Xenoblade Chronicles X (which is a crossover of the whole Xeno Series despite not having characters from said series)

  10. Well, I haven’t seen any Shin Megami Tensei references aside from the Persona-ish gameplay mechanics. This still doesn’t look like SMT x FE to me.
