The RPG game you probably have only ever heard mention once has finally seen a western release.

This is a Game that combines Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Eemblems and been in development for about 5ish years. The story reads very "Persona", in plot and terminology, Modern day Shibuya is being attacked by other-dimensional creatures called Mirages (Shadows) and a bunch of young people (ugh) ally themselves with friendly Mirages with the power of a human energy called Performa (Persona). It has the typical turn base system and most of the gameplay of say Persona 4 but with Fire Emblem touches like a class system. You fight with 3 people at a time but can switch out characters during battles.

It was released last year in Japan and the few that reviewed it gave it the thumbs up but as usual very few are talking about this game, seriously, Nintendo has a problem with Marketing and content. Anyway...

Thanks to a limited release in the UK I was forced to get an Australian copy, that works fine but i'm not sure the download code will work in spite of being the same format but we'll see (not that my internet connection will help). And due to it's overall releases this is Japanese voice acting only so I'll have to read everything, which is fine (I've played Golden Sun), i'd just prefer a dub.

I have the Special edition so with it comes a book with some of the Art Character bio's and Vocal Soundtrack and Stickers. I wish there was a poster but C'est La Vie. 

I haven't played this yet but plan to tomorrow, anyone heard of this game, anyone yet played it? I'm as curious as the rest.

 

This is V saying "C'est La Guerre"

I've heard of it, but I don't have any interest in it.  I'm not into RPGs like I once was when I was in high school.

I'll probably be picking this up even though I'm not thrilled with the pop idol thing.

I hate thatt stuff myself but I'm willing to give it a chance just because of the pedegree of the dev team.

My feelings also. I'll probably pick it up while there are still physical copies available.

I saw a trailer on the screen at a Gamestop and didn't know what it was, but it looked beautiful. I was a little amazed it was a Wii-U exclusive.

I  remember this being talked about years ago but never mentioned again, I found it again this year by chance, after some research I decided to buy it.

I preordered the CE. Haven't cracked it yet though.

I'm about an hour in, it's quite easy to get into.

The Battle mechanics I've discovered are pretty cool.

I'm really liking the game so far. I've gotten two hours into it.

I can only recomend that jst before you get to the final boss, Start Grinding and leveling up till it hurts. Ssome enemies have 1 turn kills!

Hoping that atleast your version isn't the same as the butchered and censored for an unneccesary T rating like in America.

I think it is, but I haven't checked the Pal version so "Fingers Crossed"Surprised
