Jave Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://indexweb.jp/news/2013/10602.html Don't know Japanese myself, but apparently that site (which is Index's official site, the company that owns Atlus) states the game will be an RPG, so it plays more like an SMT game than an FE game. Hope those who know Japanese can confirm this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://indexweb.jp/n...2013/10602.html Don't know Japanese myself, but apparently that site (which is Index's official site, the company that owns Atlus) states the game will be an RPG, so it plays more like an SMT game than an FE game. Hope those who know Japanese can confirm this info. It's hard making anything out of Google translate, but it doesn't seem to explain much on the gameplay, and barely mentions Fire Emblem.

Jave Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm not sure myself. Over at NeoGAF they posted the link and claimed that it said it confirms the game is an RPG. I usually trust them with this stuff (since passing erroneous info at GAF is quite frowned upon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdok Dracul Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Does it specifically say it won't have FE gameplay? Because FE can still be called an RPG too. I roughly translated it with Google Chrome, and it doesn't seem to rule strategic gameplay out. Edit: Oops, I lingered without pressing the 'submit post' button too long.

Anacybele Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah, FE is definitely an RPG. It's a strategy RPG to be precise. This really doesn't tell us anything except that it isn't a fighting game. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Google Chrome Google Chrom It's simply too early. This info is just background stuff. From my skimming through it, there's no detailed info about the actual gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleKrom Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Google Chrom You rang? Either way, "RPG" is ambiguous (although I certainly wouldn't mind a jRPG). Part of me suspects that the gameplay will be like Devil Survivor, i.e. a hybrid of strategy RPGs and traditional RPGs. But we'll see. Thank God it's not a fighting game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Jam Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't think that Nintendo would directly endorse anything that might compete with Super Smash Bros., so I'm not surprised that it isn't a fighting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonhead Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 RPG doesn't really rule anything out that I didn't know about the game(s) beforehand, so it could go either way. Too early to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titania-The Goddess Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I saw some pictures for this game online, so I wasn't sure it was real or not. But I'm happy that there is a game like this coming out! :) FE and SMT games are both amazing! As long as it's an RPG it has to be good.

superange128 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Perhaps they could do a little of both? Maybe do SMT for random battles and do FE gameplay for bosses/special battles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really doesn't tell us anything except that it isn't a fighting game. xP This isn't really true, unless you're using the rpg definition in the loosest of sense. FE games are just a string of maps, you don't really make any decisions to advance the game. You wouldn't call Starcraft a real-time strategy rpg, if you want another example.

Crimson Red Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 What? But I've been calling WoL and HotS a real time strategy RPG this whole time! Even since Brood War! *shot* Also most people consider it a tactics game or tactics RPG which is just another term for strategy RPG AFAIK - see here, it mentions FE specifically - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_role-playing_game It's also known as turn-based strategy (as opposed to a real-time strategy game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constable Reggie Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Wikipedia isn't very strict and sort of inconsistent with their definition for an rpg (after all, the only real requirement is to simply assume the role of a character(s) through a narrative), they cite X-com as an rpg for example, but Advance Wars as not. FE's probably most accurately described as a turn-based strategy game with rpg elements, rather than a strategy rpg (Deus Ex is technically an fps, but it's considered an arpg, not a role-playing fps). I guess the point I"m trying to get at is that if you had to choose one most accurate description for FE, it'd be turn-based strategy, not rpg, which Anacybele's post suggested otherwise. But in context of the original claim that this announcement isn't very telling, it is, because that means the game will seemingly be more based on Persona's style of gameplay (though how they'll implement FE characters in this will be interesting), evident by the screenshot, instead of FE's style of grid-based tactics.

Those screenshots are from Shin Megami Tensei 4, not SMT x Fire Emblem. That same page also describes the Fire Emblem series as a series of "Simulation RPG", so, "RPG" by itself really doesn't say much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHeartLibra Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If RPG is anything to go by, considering the gameplay styles of FE and SMT/Persona, I'm expecting major shipping, tactics, and an excruciating, but highly invited challenge. I could die a happy Fuji, if this crossover gives the players access to some simulation/lifestyle qualities for FE characters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadeuscho Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I don't see it being an RPG preventing the game from being a strategy RPG (or simulation RPG). Fire Emblem's genre hasn't changed in Japan to my knowledge, so it's always been an RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherarrow Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am pretty sure shipping was a thing in Fire Emblem long before Awakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfishh Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 On the topic of RPG i'd expect it to play like devil survivor, which has FE style tactics, with the actual battle as SMT standard.
