Nintendo has announced that Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, a crossover RPG between the Fire Emblem series and the Shin Megami Tensei series developed by Atlus. will be getting a limited edition release in both North America and Europe. The limited release will be called “Fortissimo Edition” in Europe, and “Special Edition” in North America. The content appears to be mostly the same for both: aside from a copy of the game itself, it includes a special box, an color art book, a Sound Selection CD with six of the game’s songs and matching song lyric cards, a set of stickers and DLC codes for the 5 sets of planned DLC for the game. The 5 DLC sets will also be available at launch for $1.99 each. You can view images for both versions below.

During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo and Atlus have announced that the Wii U crossover RPG for the Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem franchises, called Genei Ibun Roku #FE in Japan, will be localized in the West as Tokyo Mirage Session #FE. Interestingly, Nintendo revealed that, because the game is set in Japan, they will be keeping the original Japanese voice track and include English subtitles, rather than dubbing the game in English. The game will be released on June 24th in North America and Europe, and on June 25th for Australia and New Zealand. You can watch the announcement during the Nintendo Direct in the video below (starting at 11m43).

Genei Ibun Roku #FE “Performa Festival” Shows a New Duet Between Kiria and Tsubasa

Draikin December 20, 2015 Leave a reply

A Niconico livestream dubbed the “Performa Festival” was aired on December 17th, featuring new footage from the game and live voice acting sessions from the game’s voice actors. YouTube user Lianyide grabbed what seems to be the highest quality copy of the duet between Kiria and Tsubasa that’s currently available online, and you can view that video below. Perfectly Nintendo also captured the live gameplay and voice acting sessions, as well as a live performance by Inori Minase (voice actress of Tsubasa Oribe) performing the song “Feel”. We also included that video after the break. Be aware that since these are Niconico recordings, the video quality isn’t that good.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE will be released on December 25, 2015 in Japan for the Wii U. A release in the West is scheduled for 2016.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE – Extra Skills, New Character and Enemies!

InTheSky December 19, 2015 Leave a reply

This has been another big week for Genei Ibun Roku #FE news, and it stands to reason because in one week from now the game will be released in Japan!

First, this week’s edition of Weekly Famitsu unveiled a new character named Chikaomi Tsurugi. He has a rather ominous look to him. Nintendo has given him a short profile on the Genei Ibun Roku #FE official website’s sub character section. If you haven’t already done so, check out the larger profiles for the main characters too.

The official website also saw a few other updates. I’ll draw your attention to this Enemy section which features six major Mirage enemies, all themed after one of six colors: green, blue, purple, orange, pink, and red. They’re also named after Fire Emblem characters – from left to right, top to bottom, it’s: Abel, Lon’qu, Aversa, Gangrel, Garrick, and Excellus.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE “WebCM”

InTheSky December 11, 2015 Leave a reply

Nintendo’s official website for Genei Ibun Roku #FE has been updated with a new short “WebCM” video, alongside another developer blog post. The WebCM is under a minute long and is perhaps being used to advertise the game online. The developer blog posts have been produced rather regularly and are lengthy.

Continue reading to check out the trailer! The promotional phase leading up to this game’s release has been noticeably active, with trailers for each character and a variety of game concept and system trailers. Genei Ibun Roku #FE will hit stores in Japan on December 26, while release for Western regions is set for sometime next year.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE: Yashiro and Introduction Videos

InTheSky December 5, 2015 Leave a reply

Two new trailers for Genei Ibun Roku #FE have been recently uploaded to Nintendo of Japan’s YouTube chanel – one being another from the character introduction video series and the other being an extended Introduction Video that summarizes the game itself, clocking in at around five minutes.

Yashiro Tsurugi is cool and composed, and incredibly distant to the point of being stand-offish. He’s an accomplished idol unlike some of the other members of the cast. Perhaps the pursuit of success has warped Yashiro’s personality? Or does it have to do with a certain incident in the past that he’s tied to, wherein a number of performers seemingly vanished into nothing? He’s also got heterochromia, and that bright blue iris certainly stands out compared to the rest of his color scheme.

Also, note that Introduction Video starts off with “ATLUS X Fire Emblem.” It’s an interesting pivot from when this project was first introduced as “Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem” years ago but conceptualizing it now as Atlus X Fire Emblem does seem to make the most sense. The Video itself covers all of the bases of the game, but another reason to watch it is for the flashy and dramatic battle sequences. Performances are the lifeblood of this game’s concept after all.

Anyway, continue reading to check out both videos!

Genei Ibun Roku #FE: Maiko Character Trailer

InTheSky November 28, 2015 Leave a reply

The character trailer for Maiko Shimazaki from Genei Ibun Roku #FE has recently been uploaded. She’s the president of the entertainment company that the party characters of this game work for. Maiko’s personality seems to reflect that of a friendly “older sister” type character who is familiar and casual with the talent she manages. Since she’s playful and has a mature appearance this invites some chaos (read: embarrassment, confusion) on the part of her poor, young fledgling idols. As someone with some background in the industry (gravure) she’s probably still dependable in spite of her propensity for teasing. There’s no battle footage of her in this trailer, unfortunately, but she is a playable character.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE: TiKi, Bloom Palace Trailers

InTheSky November 21, 2015 Leave a reply

Next in the character trailer spotlight for Genei Ibun Roku #FE is TiKi. Tiki is a name borrowed from Fire Emblem, and her character in #FE takes the form of what is essentially a Vocaloid. She welcomes you to the Bloom Palace and refers to Itsuki, the protagonist, affectionately as her “older brother.” Such familiarity throws off the protagonist, but being the gentleman that he is, the protagonist doesn’t actually object to this. Or else TiKi would probably just call Itsuki a dummy or something.

On the note of the Bloom Palace: it’s a sort of central hub where you as the player can access special party customization features that you can’t change simply by going to the main party menu. Notably you can use Performa to customize a Carnage for your Mirage – Carnage being the weapon that your character and his/her Mirage/alter ego uses to fight, and such customizable attributes include elemental affinity and attack power. Performa can also be used to enhance what are called Radiant Skills, which include improvements for base stats, Session attacks (which boost Performa gains,) or other normal offensive skills. Radiant Skills also improve your ability to succeed in the (real) entertainment world. At the Bloom Palace, you can also Class Change your characters. Class Changes are generally meant to progress your character’s capabilities as you unlock new Classes; they allow you access to new Carnage configurations and Skills. The second trailer posted for this article offers a comprehensive visual look into these processes.

Bloom Palace is a lovely garden paradise that suits TiKi’s cherub-like appearance. Let’s check both out after the break.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE Trailers: Tsubasa and “Side Stories”

InTheSky November 9, 2015 Leave a reply

The newest set of Genei Ibun Roku #FE trailers feature Tsubasa Oribe and formally introduces “Side Stories”, a special type of gameplay segment found within the main scenario of the game.

Tsubasa Oribe is a name and face that we should all be familiar with. She’s the heroine of Genei Ibun Roku #FE. She wants to be an idol, and believes that she can reach the spirits of everyone when she sings. Generally a good-hearted person all around.

Side Stories function as extended and comparatively more fleshed-out sidequests. They grant a greater spotlight to your companions’ background than the standard story campaign does. These Side Stories also involve you more in the world of being an up-and-coming personality in the world of entertainment, especially through all of the activities that help you build up your characters build a name (fan meetings, taking roles in shows, concerts and more.) The Side Story featured in the video below features Toma as you go with him to an audition, and end up taking a part with him in the same show. To unlock the ability to pursue a Side Story, involve party members in battle as much as possible.
