Oh thank God. They even went as far as saying it's on schedule, so I guess they just showed it way too early. At least it's still coming, but I wish they'd do a bit more teasing to get people hyped. If they did, I'd say it stands a chance of surpassing XBC:X, but with as little as they're hyping it, we'll have to see. It might come down to how loyal the SMT and FE fan bases are. I feel like there's a decent crossover of the fanbases, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, since the fanbase crossover population would naturally go nuts over a crossover game, but that also means a smaller population overall of potential buyers. So like, instead of 1 mil SMT fans plus 1 mil FE fans all equally likely to buy it, it's more like 1 mil SMT+FE crossfans sure to buy it and a quarter or so mil fans exclusive to each side only somewhat likely to buy it. Meanwhile you've got 850k XBC fans likely to buy XBC:X, plus whoever else jumps on the hype train.

I'd say X, as it's a proper installment in a series. A crossover rpg like smtxfe just seems like a shot in the dark, especially since they come from different sub-genres of rpg, which could go more to dividing the potential fanbase rather than bringing them together.
