At the end of the day I realize that it's all opinion and I don't care, but I find it extremely hard to understand how anyone could put those 2 games side by side and say SMTxFE looks to be the better game.

I mean I have been very vocal about this before but I'll just say it again, aside from the decent battle system I hated virtually everything I've seen from SMTxFE, the way over the top "bubble-gum-atmosphere", the music (which to make matters worse looks to be a huge part of the game) and on top of all that, that huge focus on fanservice and anime tits that seems to be there.

Now again, I'm not saying that those things aren't there in Persona (aside from the music, Personas music is brilliant), but Personas fanservice hasn't been front and center since the first trailer and so I'm led to assume that there won't be a huge focus on it and while the Persona games have all had some of that "bubble-gum-atmosphere" as well with their highschool setting, they also didn't take it to the heights this one seems to be doing it, the keyword here is "moderation" which Persona has and SMTxFE seems to have completely thrown out of the window.

I think you definitely need to watch the entire Treehouse footage, then you'll see some of the darker elements in this game.

As for the music, that's a personal preference, I personally think it's awesome.

The E3 trailer of Genei Ibun Roku wasn't very good and didn't show off what the game will be like imo.

But you're probably not a Fire Emblem fan, so a lot of the cool stuff I noticed you'll have missed.

I wasn't interested in this game until I saw the Treehouse footage.

There's also virtually no chance that the writing in SMT x FE is as good as Persona's, simply based on the games that each of the teams have made. The art style is clearly superior in Persona 5. The music is clearly superior. The only slight advantage SMT x FE might have is that it might have a more complex battle system, but Persona's battle system is still addictive, even if it isn't particularly complex.

I mean, I understand if you want SMT x FE to be great, and it may very well be. But, just simply, there is absolutely zero chance in hell it will come close to the quality of Persona 5. 

For the record, the only Fire Emblem game I played was Awakening. It was a good game.
