Genei Ibun Roku #FE 5-year Development Time, Changes in Concept

Alongside the recently released commercial for Genei Ibun Roku #FE was a developer post by Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami about the game’s development.

–The concept of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem has been in production for 5 years.

–When producer Yamagami first heard the idea from Nintendo director Kaori Ando, the plan was for the game to be a fantasy strategy RPG.

–There have been opinions such as “Where is Megaten? This is not like Fire Emblem,” though the initial concept of the game reflected these thoughts.

–While the direction of the game shifted, Yamagami and the team believe that the path they chose was what they thought to be interesting.
