E3 2016: Watch the Insane Trailer to ‘Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE’!

What happens when Nintendo and Atlus join forces to create an RPG game based on elements from Shin Megami Tensai and Fire Emblem? You get Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE–a game jam-packed with style, color, music, and so much anime-styled nonsense which makes this writer absolutely giddy with joy. Those expecting a story akin to that found in Fire Emblem: Birthright or Fire Emblem: Conquest should be prepared for something completely different. Emphasis on the word ‘different’.

Alright, here’s the premise: an inter-dimensional evil has invaded modern-day Tokyo. Because of this threat, the city is overrun with monsters and–wait for it–a ‘barrage of music’. That’s right, folks. Somewhere in the depths of space-time, there’s a dimension where Nickleback reigns supreme and is out to destroy our way of life. The only way to avert certain doom rests on the proverbial shoulders of a gang of fluorescent hair-colored teens who, based on their style and rhythm, can summon the aid and powers of certain Fire Emblem characters.

If you’ve played any game from Atlus, this kind of plot is absolutely normal. When one has played Disgaea, Persona, Code Princess, or any games from Atlus for that matter, the premise to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE sounds pretty on point, and if any developer can create a game around that premise, no one could do it better than the folks at Atlus.

An Atlus/Nintendo RPG filled with music, turn-based combat, weapon crafting, dungeons, and over-the-top cinematics? We know; we can’t wait to play it either. Fans won’t have to wait long at all for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE launches on Wii U next week on Friday, June 24!

Will you be picking this up? Are you a fan of Atlus? What is their best game of all time? Lets us know in the comments and we will discuss your responses on the next episode of the Geekscape Games Podcast!
