I just hope it's not a mobile only game.

Maybe its a console game? That would definitely challenge the norms.

I'm kind of hyped, considering who it's from. Shin Megami Tensei and Persona are some of the very few continuing JRPG worlds that feel different from everything else. Most of the rest feel like they were designed by people who are just looking to appeal to the masses rather than constructing something interesting.

Usually boasts like that will end up in a niche game. Unless it is on the scale of at least a main FF game it won't challenge shit.

I 'm kind of a similar thought, but I'm more, "We will challenge the genre!". Game is completely average. I am always interested when Japanese developers step away from their name builders and do something, hopefully, new. Live up to it.

This is what I would call challnging a genre.

Or an over indulgence in nostalgia.

Cute girls doing cute things is pretty uncharted territory for video games.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It's cute girls doing cute things, while living in high school, while being badass magical girls in a fantasy rpg.

It's certainly breaking away from the current cute boys doing cute things JRPG staple.

Oh stop, that is nothing but a more action oriented extension of the "girls gengre". Everything there can found in a mountain of visual novels in the basement of an Otaku nerds basement.
