    Why do people hate this game?

    in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore

    I would argue that this is more of a SMT game than an FE game. The only reason that the FE characters somehow manage to exist here is simply because some of the characters in FE are also suitable in SMT due to their personalities like Tharja.

    While I haven't played the game and I can't get it since I can't get the Wii U(and that its too late for me to get one anyways) I can say that this game looks more of a SMT game than it is of a FE game. Because SMT games are a bit complex and have that hard difficulty unlike FE which now has casual mode and overshadows SMT.

    To be honest, I simply hate its existence because it has absolutely nothing to do with FE at all except the FE characters. Even the mechanics that are loosely based on FE can also apply to SMT because again, SMT is a lot more complex than FE. And it doesn't even have that waifu mechanic that FE has been oddly known for.

    Another reason why I hate it is that Atlus purposefully made it as a niche game that can't even outsell Path of Radiance or even Radiant Dawn to that matter. How is this a problem? Because it hurts the FE brand more than it hurts the SMT brand because now I'm a bit paranoid that Nintendo will not see FE as a major IP if these kind of moves are repeated over and over again because of they can't expand their IPs, then the IP is better off dead. I mean that's what happened to Chibi-Robo in the first place.

    Even the game's setting looks more like SMT.

    I haven't gotten into SMT but I looked at various footages and well...it certainly looked complex to me atleast.

    I'm picturing Atlus reaction to the poor sales of the game and they're probably saying "You know what? Screw it, let's never make games based on Nintendo characters again!" Because the game didn't do well.

    But that's just me and I know I'm the minority over here so why bother. After all, the game itself looks solid enough....just fails on the marketing aspect and giving the false image that its an FE spinoff.

    I think you're mixing up Persona with mainline SMT. I'd say that this game has a lot more in common with Persona rather then mainline SMT.

    Here's the difference:

    Persona 4 Golden

    SMT IV: Apocalypse

    Orientation Camps Cancelled in NUS

    Maybe you should attend another college, one outside of Malaysia or by extension Asia itself. Given the high educational standard of East Asia, it wouldn't be a bad idea to seek post-secondary education elsewhere. And the term you're looking for is Draconian, unless Singapore has it's own spin on harsh, overbearing lawmaking.

    I guess the conundrum that Jaydee finds himself in is that NUS is a damn good university and any other uni that he looks at probably won't give him the same kind of educational and career opportunities in the future that this one can offer. Then again, seeing that Jaydee has grades good enough to get him into NUS in the first place means he could probably get into another prestigious university.
