Well, yeah, that's what I meant. It was as good as dead before Nintendo intervened.

Yeah, no Nintendo, no Bayo 2. They had IDEAS of what they wanted, but Sega didn't want to foot the bill.

My kneejerk thought was that this was 3DS. A console mainline SMT HD. With Fire Emblem.
I just... what.
(If you want to get technical, SMT's had an FE like in Majin Tensei, but nothing like THIS.)
I wonder if Raidou will be in this since he was in the special edition of Nocturne.
I still say it's a 3DS game being upscaled. The last FE and the last SMT game are both 3ds. It would be weird for this not to be. It's not impossible I guess, but it would be weird.

As in licensing the series for an actual installment they don't have control over.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Why would they have no control over it? Does Platinum not have control over Bayonetta 2 where it matters, as long as they actually want to put it on that platform at least? And I see no reason Atlus wouldn't want to put it on WiiU if they get enough $ for the development and to cover any potential under-performance compared to another 3DS entry. It's not like the hardware would limit them more than that or anything. I didn't suggest for Nintendo to tell them how to develop it.

I'd be hella surprised if there's no references to any of the spin-offs.
Well they were crazy enough to publish Etrian Odyssey here...
I know. Madness.
My only concerns are with the team developing it. I really hope that they have an Atlus art director and composer on board, at the very least.
They don't have control on what platform it's on clearly, but they're in a different position since they don't publish games to being with.
I don't think Kamiya was ever working on what would become Bayonetta 2. He was talking about working on "something wonderful" since like 2010/2011.
Even if they were working secretly on it the whole time, Kamiya was likely in as much of a supervisory role as he is currently.
EDIT: Here's the tweet in question: http://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/24869151359
Pokemon X Nobunaga, easily.
I'd be okay with this.

I'd be okay with either. OR BOTH.
Also I find it a little weird SJ got demoted/If got promoted. They're both side story games.
I can dig up the old threads. He even said something about being real upset/disappointed whenever people would bring up Bayonetta 2. I think EatChildren even made a thread about it, and that's when it appeared the game was cancelled.
It's highly likely because Platinum's relationship with Sega was already strained. On their facebook they posted when Anarchy Reigns got delayed in the US, they were like 'we dont know whats going on'
For the record, I don't think anyone has any right to be upset with Nintendo about Bayo 2. I'm just stating what happened.
SJ gets promoted because Demonica suits are the coolest things to come out of SMT in years.

So is this set in Tokyo, or what
Well they were crazy enough to publish Etrian Odyssey here...
They also did the Trauma games right? But then again they probably sold like shit since we never got Trauma Center DS 2 or Trauma team. Nor did we get any of the EO sequel :/
I just wish Atlus could open an european branch some day. Ghostlight are way too slow when it comes to localization, we still haven't got Devil Survivor: Overclocked....

Naga was actually Kohryuu all along!
I'd actually probably much prefer this.

This is pretty cool. Don't see how it'll work, but I think they're going to play the demon/monster capturing angle rather than having Fire Emblem characters + SMT characters in a parallel world set in a modern setting.
Hope it releases here. Since it's Atlus, I think it'll be localized.

While I agree with you on that, I just don't think Kamiya was ever directing the project:
http://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/24869151359
"Something Wonderful" eventually was Wonderful 101, as was later confirmed on Twitter last year. The time tables just don't add up, unless Kamiya was somehow directing two projects at once.

So this is the surprising collaboration Atlus was hinting at earlier this year.

I don't know about this.
Tonally the series couldn't be more different.
If they try to make the game's story serious it will
turn out embarrasingly bad. Even worse if they'll
try to shoehorn the events into either series' canon.
As a fan of both series though, I'm definitely still
curious. It's at least promising to see Atlus developing
for the system.
Who knows what's next. Persona 5?

Well there's a reason to get a Wii U...

Look at the final image in the trailer.
I think it is.
The Wii U just went from a console I could not care less about to 'start saving'.

Don't you love it when there's a crossover between two things you love instead of just one.

why can't it be both? We don't know what the Growlanser/Devil Survivor team is up to.
Okay, now I'm really weirded out.
How will they even communicate with each other? Are we going to get magic Tekken Babel Fish shit?
The picture at the end of the trailer suggests that, at the very least, there will be a modern aspect to it.
What if Atlus publishes it.

Why are people acting like Fire Emblem games are completely light hearted affairs? The series has had plenty of very dark moments.
Because these things are relative. Fire Emblem is much lighter in tone relative to MegaTen. Everything from the art to the music to the plot is lighter.
From that distance, that could very well be fire.

Also, IS are working on this, I can't fathom it being anything but an SRPG.
Put down that axe, Hector. Demi-Fiend's going to break it in half and feed it to you.

Darker than a lot of supposedly more mature games, even.
EDIT: If it works anything like Pokemon x Nobunaga, Atlus staff will definitely be responsible for a large part of the gameplay systems.
Even if Atlus wasn't offering a lot besides their IPs, Intelligent Systems is by far one of Nintendo's best studios. I wouldn't be at all concerned if it was largely them doing the work.
What about a puzzle game.

Now, this is a crossover that I can get behind. Looks like I won't be buying a Wii U just for Monster Hunter after all. Now i'm buying it for two games!
'Serph has just eaten your Archer, would you like to recruit another?'
This is what I was thinking.
Kaneko on character designs, please? PLEASE?
Dude has to have been working on something.
SMT X FE - Mega Micro Games.

Hmmm...that'll be interesting. Kind of weird, but interesting.
But Nintendo came up with Pokemon Conquest, so it shouldn't be more bizarre then that.
