Huh, I guess I might get this game.
You'll need to use the gamepad.
According to the game page on Nintendo's site, you can use the pro controller.

You know what, I haven't played a traditional jrpg in a while. Might just bite on this based on the good reviews. I was fairly convinced this would be a throwaway title, too.
music you dont like =/= terrible music

No unfortunately..
Feels good
Yup I'm buying the physical version
too bad it takes like a month for Wii U game to come here in Saudi Arabia
hope it won't be banned like Bayonetta 2 -__-
Apparently not, a poster here already complained about it.
You can use the pro controller or the Wiimote + nunchuck and all that to control the game, but you 100% have to interact with the gamepad regularly in order to progress the game.

I wonder if the OST will have all kinds of catchy songs like this >.>

I've yet to get that notification, and it's making me nervous. My Amazon Prime shipments have been hit or miss lately, with some 2-day-guaranteed orders taking up to 5 days to get here. I had Planet Robobot pre-ordered with release day delivery through Prime, and it didn't get here until the day after release. Since it was the fourth shipment (almost in a row) to arrive past the Prime-guaranteed date I got in touch with customer service to complain.
I just... I just have a feeling that I won't be seeing this box on Friday either. It's such a petty first-world problem, but seriously, why am I paying them $100 a year if I can't count on my Prime benefits actually panning out?
The way I understand it is that the Gamepad functionality is not optional, but playing it on the Gamepad is. The game even supports Wiimote + nunchuk and the Classic Controller as options.

You can control it with the pro controller, but the gamepad is still needed for other things.

That was like 7 months ago, way too long. And I know I didn't say it, but I meant the turn-based kind of jrpg. The last one of those I played was SMT IV, and I can't even remember how long ago that was.
I see, ok thanks! Guess I have to buy a new charging cord for my gamepad then. I've been through like 5 of those things.
Ah, okay. I was using Google to confirm if pro controller worked, never heard anything about gamepad being required for certain moments. That might explain why there's no off-tv play.
It sounds it works a lot like Xenoblade X in that regard, though XCX does have off-TV play that (mostly) works on its own.
....mostly.

I mean shit, I would take your hit or misses over mine since I don't normally qualify for 2 day shipping, let alone release date shipping.
Starting it up off tv was always a gamble lol.
It is pretty amusing that there's a big Monolith Soft RPG that feels unfinished for reasons that have nothing to do with the actual playable content. Love the game, but I'll be the first to admit that it could have done with a few more QOL additions, like not needing to get out of off-TV mode in order to use quick travel.
Looks like the game is finally great in the end. I'm happy to know that, and mostly after all the controversy the game had because of the J-Pop and Idol atmosphere.
This game is not for me, I won't get it. Although I'm a Megaten fan, I have never played any Fire Emblem game, and I don't like JPop and idols either. But it's great to know that you guys will enjoy the game.
Both Nintendo and Atlus did it again, another great JRPG. Now I cannot wait to get SMTIV Apocalypse, and Persona 5. Being European, I hope Nintendo and Sony decide to publish both games in this territory.

And Smokey cleavages, ages, dlc, ingame Outfits, Videosequenzen, pin up Posters And so on.
This was Most wanted Game since it's Reveal because of the Art Style, Music Idol Business etc. I don't care if the cleavage is Smokey or not But i hate censorship in Media.
It's not just the censorship, it's the inconsistency of it. When you see a wedding dress in a cut-scene, that has your arms/upper chest covered in a type of white cloth, and then immediately see that same wedding dress in-battle, sans cloth and with cleavage for everyone to see, it kind of pulls you out of the experience. It's one thing if they want to edit something, just make sure it's consistent. :/
I've already voiced my opinions on the censorship, so I'm not going to repeat myself here. It is disappointing, since the rating likely wouldn't have changed any (unless they were originally trying to aim for an E-rating and Nintendo of America suddenly decided to aim for T instead and left the other half of the content uncensored) and with them being so inconsistent with them it just seems so sloppy, but I'm still going to buy/play this game. I'm not as excited as I was, but I'm still interested.
Nice to see these review scores though, even if I don't personally agree with all of the changes made. The hot springs DLC being cut is depressing, since it wasn't even lewd and gave you some character development.
I don't want the thread to go into another censorship argument, but man, I REALLY dislike what they did to that one dungeon because that actually played into the plot. Seeing they made even more changes to it than I initially thought is really disappointing.
Not enough to make me not play the game, granted, but that quote from RPG Site about how it clashes with the theme of said dungeon feels spot-on the more I hear about how it was changed.
This as well, it feels even more off if you're not consistent with it. It just feels baffling why some of these choices were made, especially when as mentioned above, they mess with the intent of the themes of part of the actual story.

Well, that's more than I thought it would be, but nothing super major. And yes, censorship is bullshit.
As long as Kiria's Cat costume is still in the game I'll be fine.
(it's still in right?!)
OST is top notch. The Tsubasa & Kiria collab is especially catchy as hell.
It should be since the way you get it is via a in game scenario.
Really the game has dozen or so of costumes per character. You have tons of variety to choose from.
lol not surprised to see you hate on something that has actual good gameplay. keep having awful taste. the game's been known to be good since its release in Japan and you're still in denial lolol
I couldn't say it any better. perfect post.

is this the type of music that will be in the game? the awful soundtrack of xenoblade wiiU basically ruined the entire game for me. really want to pick this game up but all of my sensibilities are telling me to cancel my preorder.... i don't like jpop, i don't really like anime... but i love the gameplay of persona/smt.
what to do!
Wait for a sale if you don't like what the game is aesthetically.

This reviewed a lot better than I thought it would, based on GAF's impressions. I might have to pick up this game. I'll watch more footage to see if it interests me.

I'm intrigued by everything except for the singing and dancing....Don't know if I should bite or not. This feels like a game that will have a first print and then disappear completely.

i feel like it won't go on sale anytime soon and i also feel like they aren't going to print a bunch of copies :/

Anyone got an opinion on this?

Better than the source material
