Fuck that noise. No thanks.

Plus, #FE is already using the gamepad in good ways. 

Nope it wasn´t.

Yuh-huh it was.

I still can't believe that you're anticipating this game.

I love that.

"Nintendo should've just bought Atlus"

Thats scary, I prefer them being able to make games for everyone (if they so wish).
Also if nintendo owned them, they would probably dictate how games "should" be to atlus and im not sure if thats a good thing or not in this case.

Monolith Soft.

I'd point to Monolith and to a lesser degree Platinum as examples that that's not true: it's Western third parties whom they seem to have little faith in.

More importantly though, I will gladly accept the highest level of executive meddling if it meant the Etrian team was finally forced to give us real numbers for each skill, and not just vague arrows. That parry skill gets a lot less sexy when pumping ten level ups into it means it triggers only ten percent of the time!

I can't think of one company in recent memory that Nintendo has dictated how their games have been developed, even when partnering with them (ex: Monolith Soft, Platinum, Koei Tecmo, even Atlus).

It's not my fault, I just intended that to be the joke option. What's even scarier is that Atlus is somehow better than Nintendo at taking advantage of their hardware and the quirks, even 3D. Persona Q has a better 3D effect than most Nintendo games.

Besides, as others say, take a look at Monolith and their relationship with Platinum and Next Level Games. Or maybe less for the latter more for the former.

You wouldn't believe the kinds of mind tricks I've had to do to get to this point.

"Think of it as the Kingdom Hearts of SMT and FE, Spem."

"#FE will make a nice contrast to P5, Spem."

"It's as much an SMT game as Persona is, Spem."

"It's better to get a completely original IP, Spem."

"SMTV will still happen, Spem."

And recently,

"You can use SMT4f to cleans your pallet, Spem. Fucking Finally."

Can't wait for #FE.

Can't believe it.
