it has nothing in common with megaten
Its not a bad game though

Has nothing to do with SMT,it's an ok game as long as you can stomach Idol shit.

No; it plays nothing like a Megaten game and it's pretty much an idol simulator with some turn based battles here and there.

It's not for everyone although it does some things right, I thought I'd be able to ignore the idol shit but couldn't actually stomach finishing it. The connection to Megaten and FE is thin as best and the whole thing felt kind of cheap, even down to the font everything is written in.

Censored by trannies. no kidding.

I thought this game was meant to be some kind of hidden gem. Is it not actually that good?

Despite the name, it really is more like Persona with Fire Emblem characters as Personas than anything SMT. It's fine if you go in not expecting anything SMT.

>I thought this game was meant to be some kind of hidden gem
What gave you that impression?
>Is it not actually that good?
It's barely connected to SMT or FE and it's just garbage idolshit with some rpg fights here and there

I'll put it like this:
The only people hyping it are console war shitposters because it's a WiiU / Switch exclusive, in the same way said shitposters hyped trash like The Order 1886.
The game itself was universally reviled by Megaten fans, Fire Emblem fans, idol fans and JRPG fans.

By laziness actually

Nah the game is pretty good

Let me rephrase the question: if I like Persona will I like this?

No. It's a worse Persona from both the gameplay and character interaction aspects.

Supposedly it is pretty alright from a gameplay perspective. Personally, I couldn't get past literally everything else though.

>If I like Megaten will I like this?
Yes, maybe
>The pop idol aesthetic isn't an issue for me
Despite the gameplay being worthy of a Megaten title, this is the biggest gripe for most people, so if it doesn't bother you just give it a shot

It lacks a lot of the appeal of persona games, if you go into it thinking you are gonna get the same level of character interactions as persona, you are gonna be disappointed.

Yes. This is solid Megaten title, gameplay is incredibly fun.

>it plays nothing like a Megaten game
Based low IQ imbecile.

This is sounding like a pass on all fronts. I was looking for something to tide me over till SMTV but this doesn't look like it'll be doing that

>looking for something to tide me over till SMTV
You're going to need more than one game to keep you occupied waiting for SMT V buddy

You know what I mean

It's got great combat, basically Fire Emblem rubbed into Strange Journey, especially since the enemy can and will use the combo system against you, and really good dungeons. Don't let the tutorial and the rudimentary opening dungeon make you think it's just going to be more style-than-substance like Persona, once things get going it really starts forcing you to think about how the dungeons are structured as 3D structures, rather than just rooms vaguely connected by staircases and doorways.

>The game itself was universally reviled by Megaten fans, Fire Emblem fans, idol fans and JRPG fans.

It's kinda amazing how Nintendo managed to piss off literally all the audiences that might have been interested in this.

Just replay the older SMT games. If you have a decent PC you can even emulate the series up to Nocturne (no idea how good 3DS emulation is).

#FE was a disaster on every aspect.

I was willing to give it a chance had they not done any of the dumb censorship

the phone constantly going off, not being able to skip cutscenes completely, and not being able to switch out the main character on the first playthrough are my main complaints
the gameplay is good fun on hard and you can pirate the game if you care about the censorship

yes. It has strange journey combat with a fire emblem weapon triangle, and dungeons with actual puzzles. 90% of the people complaining about the game are from graphics/story over gameplay crowd or even worse, the "politics" over gameplay crowd. The only core SMT element that's missing is fusion because party members are promoted FE emblem style.
there's basically 0 life sim elements. it's basically a mainline style dungeon crawler.

Its like babby's first megaten in terms of difficulty
Game is very fucking slow to get going, they unlock the combat system as you go through the dungeons and it takes like 3 or 4 to have it fully unlocked. (only played it on the pii u so maybe they changed that)
Its good fun and the music videos are very catchy

It plays like Persona but with a more dynamic battle system and without you having to schedule your free time, so yes. Also, the music is fantastic and the characters are a lot of fun. Definitely an underrated gem.

It's pretty good, basically just a Persona game, has nothing in common with FE or Megaten though.
