Post by: The Greatest Dog on April 01, 2015, 10:51:52 PM: That Lucas reveal trailer.

That Masked Man costume hurt my heart. Down to having a beam sword and Lucas having a Franklin Badge and all.

Also Mewtwo's moveset looks to be the exact same as in Melee. Same special moves, same normal moves, same everything (cept final smash of course)

It looks like the game is more 'inspired by' rather than directly drawing from both series in the typical "mash everyone together with an excuse plot" that kinda plagues 90% of crossover attempts... and 90% of those attempts go poorly. So I'm kinda cool with 'inspired by'.

It appears the main characters sort of transform themselves into forms styled after FE classes in various forms, likely with other major NPCs being direct FE analogues/cameos, and all in modern Tokyo with an SMT-style monster design?

Me too. I'll still play it, but you'd think the company that made Devil Survivor would be all over this.

That being said, IF looks pretty neat. :3c As do a lot of games here!

Post by: Yatakarasu on April 02, 2015, 06:51:11 PM: That FExSMT trailer was crazy as balls. I don't know what to say about it other than I am interested.

Now about the actual FE trailer, man does it look good. So glad they kept those CG cutscenes in the same style as Awakening. The whole two paths thing is really cool. I can't wait!

Post by: Third Eye Lem on April 02, 2015, 07:44:05 PM: The more I keep thinking about FE IF, the more I keep thinking of Sacred Stones' branching plots with the twins. I also have to wonder if they'll keep the lover system, the Streetpass fights, and the Netherrealm Portal. Seeing Reverse Mode return would be an...Interesting addition too, lol.

On an unrelated note...The more I hear about Pokemon Rumble World, the more worried I get. Pokemon Shuffle didn't sit well with me, and after reading into Rumble World's mechanics, I'm afraid they're leaning dangerously close into turning Pokemon into a Puzzle and Dragons sort of franchise. Granted, I don't hate that sort of collectable character format in general, but if done wrong, it could be disastrous. Is my fear justified or am I worrying too much?
