Great game. Stupid name. No dub.

And it really can't be overstated just how stupid that name is. SMT backwards isn't clever when the result is such a stupid, repelling name. People literally skip games based on shitty names like that. That, on top of the terrible decision not to dub it, is literally sending this game out to die. They aren't even trying to sell this game here, which is a shame.

It should have been called Performa. It doesn't need the reference to SMT or FE. That becomes evident in the game. Imagine if they called Kingdom Hearts something stupid like "You Escape Never Seeing Inside Darkness: The First Fairytale." Now imagine it released with Japanese audio only and subs. The game would have flopped hard, and there would have never ben a Yensid: FF2. That is literally how stupid a title "Toyko Mirage Sessions #FE" is.

I didn't have delusions that this game would shatter sales records, but I thought it would at least sell well enough to warrant a sequel. That has no chance of happening now. No Performa 2. No TMS#FE2. Just another cult-fucking-classic do to shitty marketing and no faith in a good game.

I feel you. This game feels like something I'll plan on buying when it goes on sale.
