Crossovers tend to be underwhelming because they get lost in the novelty of it all. Kingdom Hearts managed to avoid this by making a Disney game with some Final Fantasy flare, but most games fail to handle it correctly. This was a fear with Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, but Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE made the wise choice of going another direction. With an interesting premise, solid RPG mechanics and plenty of style, is Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE a must have for hardcore Wii U owners or is it a gimmicky mess that isn’t worth consideration?
While Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE is easily recognized as a Shin Megami Tensei spinoff, it fails to present itself as the crossover it is meant to be.
It was way too much idol culture which idk why they thought itd be a great idea for an smt/fe crossover. I honestly wish they just made it to be a highschool/academy style of game like persona. So much potential it had but its whatever. The game was just ok.
The problem is when this was first announced it was literally Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. All they needed to do was keep the Fire Emblem strategy gameplay and incorporate Shin Megami Tensei elements and aesthetics. Or hell, somehow collide the universes together with Fire Emblem gameplay.
What we got was really out of left field with such a mashup. I think that’s why it’s disappointing for those expecting Fire Emblem in this game.
I liked TMS but yeah it missed some charm that both series carry in spades
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is coming back! In 2020, Nintendo is bringing its collaboration with Atlus to the Switch. As is common with these Wii U ports, a little something extra is being added in for the encore performance. But what should someone expect in general, in the event they missed the RPG the first time around? Well, it is something that is a lot more like Persona than either Fire Emblem or Shin Megami Tensei.
Dang it I thought I was all clever and clicked on the comments to write that.
Well played, sir!
It doesn't take much to get people riled up. The next thing folks know, there's outrage over some gameplay element, design decision, or character. Here are ten times a big deal was made over the silliest sorts of things in games.
Forgot the whole 'RE5 is racist" because you have a white character killing black zombies in a country mostly populated by black people.
Omg, that was really a thing? I played it at the time and it didn't ring my bell at all xD
Unfortunately, yes.

Its important to take story context into perspective here. The Umbrella Corporation is taking advantage of the impoverished people of Africa, by performing experiments on them, far away from the eyes of 24/7 newscasters.
Given the context, the game makes sense.
Oh yeah, I remember now. There was a movement called 'black zombies lives matter'.
Not on the article because this writer would clearly have agreed with the stance that RE5 is racist, it's pretty obvious by the choice of controversies / words.
Yeah I looked at the authors picture, and that says everything I need to know about him.
For me it’s Battlefield 5’s women. Is it really that big of a deal to have both genders represented in a game AND are not forced to play as a female
I’m not sure it was simply being able to play as a woman per say, but rather (or at least also) the historical revisionism in the story mode, going a bit overboard with the charter design, censoring words and phrases in chat based on race and historical groups.
Oh and that whole don’t like it don’t buy it fiasco. Actually, you could probably find at least ten controversies just with Battlefield 5 : P
Jax ending in MK11 was one of the dumbest controversies. People were mad over a non-canon ending.
Yeah, I was wondering what kind of person would get so triggered over that.
So stupid.
