I was actually hoping for a game like this the other day when I was thinking to myself that I really wanted a Fire Emblem that was turn-based JRPG instead of Strategy RPG with tiles. I HATE games with tiles. I don't like that style at all.
Being a mashup of Shin Megami and Fire Emblem will perhaps keep the aesthetics of Fire Emblem but perhaps change the combat to be turn-based. If it turns out that way I would buy it.

probably discover a portal at some point

I think it's going to be a mix of Devil Survivor and Fire Emblem. Grid combat, weapon triangle battles, elemental weaknesses, demon summoning.
In short, all out chaos.

This was the biggest surprise of the direct for me, definitely hyped for this. I actually hope it's more of an srpg. I think it's noe my most anticipated U game.

I assume that is done (or close to finished). It's more likely that someone from Int Sys is directing, though.

That's cool for Awakening and all, for the newcomers... but two of gaming's most brutal franchises crossover and you think there's a desire amongst players for a wuss mode?
congratulations, you're now qualified to write video games

I wonder if it will use the SMT art style, FE characters would look so weird in that style.

Wait a minute, maybe Kaneko is working on this. :O What if this is an ARPG similar to Devil Summoner?

Darn, I was hoping it'd be a March release.
SMT4 (and Persona and Devil Survivor) and FEA have shown that neither company cares about having a coherent art style, so I will totally not be surprised if they just use the art that's already available.

If he was working on this, and not SMTIV? Man, that'd piss off a lot of people. :lol
Whatever man. Kamen Rider all day
We already knew he isn't involved with SMTIV, at this point I'd be stoked just to have confirmation that Kaneko is still alive

So I'm a big Fire Emblem fan but my Shin Megami Tensai experience is limited to what I've played of Persona 4 Golden so far. What should I play to get myself ready for this?

Okay so at the end of the trailer we can see some city or village burning.
My guess is demons appear in FE world and a portal is opened and that's where SMT characters come in. Heroes from both worlds team up to defeat a God that was summoned by a King in a country in FE World.
and fusions
and Matador
and, um, epicness

Soul Hackers comes out soon, and it's super old school SMTness. If not that, get Strange Journey
SMT 3 Nocture is your best bet.
As it is you haven't really experinced SMT because Persona is it's own thing and P4 isn't something you can really compare SMT mainlines too.

Well there's the Devil Survivor games, which are SRPGs (but not like Fire Emblem SRPGs), and then there's Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne, which is the only SMT game they featured in the teaser that is both really good and available in English.

Soul Hackers is easier than Strange Journey, no joke. It's also more like core SMT than SJ, oddly enough, since you get six party members and a female protagonist. (Well, SMT1/2, anyway.)

Yeah, I like Strange Journey but Nocturne is just awesome. It was darker and more atmospheric than I was expecting, there's no other game quite like it.
How can Soul Hackers be more core SMT than a core SMT game?

Is Nocturne on anything that's not PS2? I never owned a PS2 and my PS3 doesn't have backwards compatibility.

Nope :C

All PS3 consoles can play PS2 Classics.
YES! Okay NOW I'm excited! 8D [really don't like supporting the region-locked consoles though
] Thanks for the link!The only crossover that'd've been more interestingly random [to me] would've been SMT x Digimon, lol, since Digimon's been making a comback lately; Digital Devils and Digital Monsters! XD
This game should hopefully make up for the crappy 2D battles in SMTIV :B I know squat all about FE though, I think I remember trying a GBA ROM once a long while back and it didn't catch my interest at all ._.; Though on the flip side, the DemiKids GBA games were what got me into SMT *shrug*
...Am I the only one who thought the last scene of the trailier looked like a city with magatsuhi[sp? it's been a while XD] wafting out of it...?

Because SJ's a side-story game, not a core game.

Was the trailer shown in the NOA direct?
Yes. It was shown globally.

Considering the rather large push that Awakening is getting, that SMT game has skipped America in years, and no console Fire Emblem has been skipped over since the series came to America, I have to imagine it was just a little bit intentional.

Should have been a SMT character being OHKO'd by a Swordmaster/Assassin.
Nope.

Please god.
Good. If this were a strategy game it would make more sense to let IS handle it.
Now all they need to do is make sure the game has me cursing for weeks and everything will be perfect.
Totally and utterly awesome. A+
I made this better.

Not really. And that's perhaps what makes it the most exciting.

Fire Emblem Awakening involves a lot of time travel/world hopping nonsense (it may not actually be nonsense for the main storyline, but it absolutely is for the DLC), and Shin Megami Tensei IV has a modern day Tokyo plopped down in the year 1492 (it is probably not actually 1492).
