I will only be satisfied if each Fire Emblem character has their own Persona.

I can get behind this. Man, I really need to finish Nocturne at some point, don't I?

So this is what perfection feels like.

I knew there was a reason I had bought a Wii U. It seems like today's Nintendo Direct gave light to it.

Can I Galactic Punt a Pegasus Knight? 

Now I have to get a Wii U...damn it

Wait...What? NO! I don't want to buy a Wii U, why would they do this?

Oh wait, it'll never come out in Europe. Problem solved!

This and the Wind Waker remake is starting to tempt me.

Between this and the new Xeno blade/gears, just wow, video games are awesome.

Making me almost reconsider how much I don't want a Wii U.

Damn. Now I have to buy a Wii U.

Damn. Now I have to buy a Wii U.

Man, why didn't this come out for the Wii U!!!

It was on the European stream of Nintendo Direct, so it's more than likely to be released there.

3DS I mean.

Ha, I actually feel this way about most of the announcements. Why? Because I already have a 3DS. Yoshi's Epic Yarn would look good in 3D...

Yeah. Getting a Wii U.

Hmm weird crossover. Never have got the appeal of the Fire Emblem games but seems enough people like them to warrant this.

@FluxWaveZ: That's somewhat more promising but I dunno, man. That 3DS Fire Emblem game doesn't have a European release date and Atlus has a terrible record. The two of them together? Let's just say I don't have my hopes up. I was half-joking anyway, the bigger issue is buying a Wii U. I bought a Vita for Persona 4, I don't think I can justify buying a Wii U for this.

I like how they only showed characters from the main SMT series.

I like Persona too, but they have just been milking it way too much lately.

WHAT?! (One Google search of "Wind Waker remake" later) Dang, between those 2 games and the Platinum Games stuff I'm really tempted to get a Wii U too.

I think @Video_Game_King will like this.

@MikeGosot: Nah, if there's anything VGK hates more than SMT, it's Fire Emblem.

Yeaaaah... Pfft, what i was thinking?

You know, I'm perfectly fine with the Persona guys being excluded, but can we get some Raidou Kuzunoha up in this game? Dude's got sideburns of steel.

whaaaat....

holy shit, now I need a Wii U

Well isn't this interesting...

I've never played any non Persona 3 or 4 SMT games, though. Anyone want to let me know what the other games are like?

@pyromagnestir: In the main SMT games you're recruiting demons into your party rather than equipping them as personas. Kind of like pokemon, but instead of throwing a ball at them, you have to ask nicely/bribe them/get lucky to have them join you. They also use a different combat system. The combat in the first two SMT games was nothing special, but they then adopted the Press Turn System which I personally love. It makes the combat challenging and strategic but it still keeps up a quick pace.

Also, this seems like a weird crossover to me, but they definitely have my attention.

So, they pretty much took my two favorite RPG series and made a cross-over? I'm okay with that.

Are nay of the other SMT games any good on the level of persona 4 good or are they just kind of ok, since i don;t see people talking about them too much in any space i visit or listen to so I've never paid any attention to them.

yeah we need raidou.

I said WOO when I saw the original SMT characters though

ALSO WHAT

I guess I have to finish a fire emblem game now

Man what's with Japan and their completely insane crossovers? How DO their lawyers get along so well?

Not played a game in the Fire Emblem series, but what a weird crossober. WEIRD MAN. I LIKE WEIRD

WII U, im buying U.

This is pretty awesome. Too bad one of these franchises sucks.

Also, I find it REALLY funny that the second character from Nocturne was Chiaki.

baal avatar u so crazy

In comparison to the recent Pokemon X Nobunaga's Ambition crossover, this one actually seems pretty reasonable. Just looking at the charcter art from the upcoming SMT IV and the latest FE release, it isn't all that difficult to imagine a middle ground between them, and a lot of the various Fire Emblem deities and creatures probably wouldn't look too out of place standing alongside some SMT demons.

I thought that was pretty funky too. You would think Yuko would have been a better choice.

@Rastopher: I initially thought the guy who hangs out in the terminals, but then I remembered that he's already in the game as Aleph...

yeah, I guess Yuko would fit better than anyone else in Nocturne.

The final boss will be AsheraHVH.

@Rastopher:

Interesting...

I'm now wondering if this is going to be some kind of fighting game or an actual rpg that attempts to meld the two franchises together. I was hoping for an rpg, but the title and that brief trailer implies fighting game. They didn't clarify that point, did they?

Do you know about Shin Megami Tensei Games? Because I sure as hell don't!

I'm expecting a more complicated version of Devil Survivor (where it had tactical RPG overworld, but when you would battle you get into an RPG style fighting system for 2 turns.)

What the shit!? Where did this come from? Also, why aren't there any Jugdral characters in the trailer? I can understand the lack of Valencia characters, but no Jugdral characters?

Also, I'm gonna have to get a Wii U now.

...

Guys, I think they're making this game just for me.

Seems I'll eventually have to get a wiiU at some point now. I knew Nintendo would eventually get to me but I certainly didn't expect they would go in this direction.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm gonna guess it's on account of being an international trailer, and they felt like the presence of Jugdral dudes would be CONFUSING AND STARTLING.

Surely they can't pass 'em over in the actual game, though.

@Superkenon:

I'd say it's more because Nintendo absolutely hates the Jugdral games, because I think I saw Lilina in the back.

Well crap guys. Now I have to get a WiiU at some point because this game seems like it was made with my tastes specifically in mind, and I already have to get a 3DS for that new Fire Emblem that comes out soon. Damn you Nintendo.
