yeah because this is the 16th SMTxFire Emblem game -_-

Don't blame me for the Internet having more care over a Team Ico game than a Fire Emblem game.

I've met very few people who care about the SMT part. Most are excited about "that Fire Emblem crossover".

Did you play any Persona game? Because you must know that even in that high-school environment, there's so much more than meets the eye. And this being an Atlus game, I'm 99% sure that there's much more to it than just "pop idol stuff". What I expect is very much what you said above:

"It's sad, we could have gotten a 3D dungeon explorer with tactical JRPG combat, SMT demons and a good story about i dunno post apocalyptic Tokyo..."

SMT demons are pretty much FE characters. Mixed that with the triangle battle system of FE. With a good story about mass music industry. I mean, I'm sure that it's not what it looks, and that's what I really like about Atlus games. I'll try not to jump to conclusions and see what is this game about finally. But, well, I think you're trying to simplify the game. But I'm open to discuss about it if you have proper sources about this.

Last time I checked FE Awakening outsold ICO and Shadow of the colossus... combined. lol

Oh, and it had better reviews than both too

But yeah FE is insignificant compared to mighty Team ICO...

I would say that TLG became a internet MEME, and thats why the internet is so crazy, their MEME about the impossible game that is never released, the eternal promise, is already here. But I'm not buying memes I'm buying games and this looks like a very good one, so why cant we be excited?

"Most are excited about this game and i cant wait to play it"

I highly doubt that, i still remember the shitstorm when they showed the actual game.

But i guess at the end of the day it's all about taste, some like Idol pop games and some don't.

Nailed it. Thinking that people expect more an ICO game than a FE game nowadays is just unrealistic if we look at the proper numbers. I won't deny that Shadow of the Colossus is a masterpiece, and it's one of my favourite games. Simply breathtaking. It's a cult classic, but people didn't exactly run for it. FE is growing in popularity, Fates is going to outsold Awakening, and TLG still has to prove that is more expected than a new FE game. 

To the post above, you're over simplifying the game saying it's just about pop idols. But, hey, as you wish.

Except we're not talking about any of those games? Why are you trying to rationalize hype comparison of two games by bringing up the sales of previous games in their respective series?

Are you kidding me?

You are the one that said that nobody cares about FE because there were a lot of them. But everybody cares about Team Ico.

And read the rest of the comment too.

I mean i'm not saying the game is bad, it's probably good if the reviews are true.

My issue being a Fire Emblem & SMT fan is that this game doesn't appeal to me at all, i don't understand who thought this was a good idea.

It's like making a Dark Souls dancing spin-off, sure many people enjoy dancing games, but how many actual Dark Souls fans enjoy dancing games? what's the point of using an IP for a game that's so different? IMO the only thing you get is angry fans. Exactly like what happened with Federation Force.

And the worst part is that the japanese idol fan gamers didn't even buy Genei Ibun Roku, so...again what was the point, this game already failed.

I'm sure the game has solid JRPG elements and the music is good if you enjoy that type of music i guess, but i just can't get past the setting.

For the record i don't like Persona either.

I hope the few people that will buy this game enjoy it though.
