oh shit

Still mad.
Not because they didn't include existing SMT characters, but because it chose to use nothing good from either franchise.

>>723809505 (OP)
Shit indeed.

The concept became this game. I never played it.

>>723809686
Im still seething about it

>>723809686
it's not very good. i finished it 100% which was like 15 hours and it still dragged by the end

>>723809686
I really enjoyed it, but i had not played either a Fire Emblem or SMT game at the time. Still makes me laugh that this flopping twice is the very obvious reason that Soul Hackers 2 never got a Switch version, and then went to flop because of it.

>>723809505 (OP)
Devil Survivor already did this in the way everyone wanted

If they had made Persona X FE instead, it would have sold a lot better, none gives a shit about SMTranny

>>723810427
Yea but it didn't have fire emblem characters in it

>>723810517
That's what they did tho and it still flopped twice

>>723809505 (OP)
Man what a cool concept I can't wait to see what they do with it

Play devil survivor instead if you haven't

>>723809607
>>723809748
My brothers. Let me join you in your rage.
>>723810427
Yeah but imagine devil survivor esque with the a greatest hits collection of smt characters and the FE crossover (and maybe better designed maps).

>>723809505 (OP)
Fire Emblem with a chaos path would have been rad.

>>723809686
It's not awful but it's really interesting. Same directors worked on Soul Hackers 2 if you played that.

A good pitch would have either been a game set in fantasy medieval land where the power of song was used to invoke power from mythology and drawing parallels between it and magics, or to have a modern day apocalypse setting where music calls upon mythical heroes from the past and talks about our perception of legends. Instead they decided to make a love letter to otaky culture and the Japanese idol industry.

I think this was the first time I realized the industry was growing more conservative and corporate at its roots rather than because it publisher whims. The whole thing was concocted to sell brand hype and, with no judging by any of the companies involved, the developers chose to make a tame, unambitious story and partner up with a third big company to make it even more safe and bland. Nobody had to fight over creative decisions. People who were deeply uninteresting and unconcerned with saying anything had climbed up the dev hierarchy and made this shit boring bh choice.

What a fucking turn from every JRPG in existence making their gripes about the world and the things they were passionate about known to anyone playing them just ten years prior.

>>723810427
That's my only cope here. I was open to the opposite end, having it be a turn based game with FE elements, but not like this.

>>723809505 (OP)
when is it coming out? it's been ages

>>723810635
But they didn't call it purse owner, so the fanbase was too stupid to notice or care

>>723809686
>I never played it.
I preordered the LE on the Wii U. It remains sealed. I doubt it's worth anything even because of that, it was just a waste of money

>I bought a Switch for this when it was announced because at the time I didn't know how emulation would shake out
>the Switch was used like 3 times and then put in the closet
>everything else, including Xenoblade games, was emulated at 60 fps
>when the game came out, it was utter turgid shit and censored
haha
AHAHAHA
BWAAHAHAHAAHAHA
kill me

>>723814892
It's tuesday.

>>723809686
The Switch version was the last time consumers pushed back against censorship instead of furiously defending it.

Yeah, it really was something like that.
