Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration with ATLUS brings the awesome Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei crossover we’ve all been waiting for. As we get closer to the Japanese release, we’ll be seeing more and more of the game, and Nintendo has just released a brand new trailer showing off a bit of the story for the upcoming title. The trailer also features its “debut single” which will ostensibly be released sometime in the future to promote the game even further. Check out the brand new trailer below!

This week’s issue of Famitsu shares the first details about Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. Additionally, the magazine contains an interview with producer Kazuyuki Yamai.

Yamai first talked about how the project came to be:

“We were wondering if there was anything we could do that’s characteristic of Maniax [makers of the enhanced version of Nocturne with Dante, and also Shin Megami Tensei IV] and as we investigated on what could be done, we realized that we just wanted to make a completely new title, and the development started there. ‘Let’s use this occasion to make everything clear’ – those are the thoughts that went into this title, and that’s why we put ‘Final’ in it.”

There are two major points for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. The first is the necessary “reality” that shows mankind at their limited state while the other is having players step into its ambiguously told story. The latter is because it’ll be a simple RPG in terms of gameplay. The theme is about “should I bond with, or kill them all?”

Yesterday, Famitsu revealed that Atlus is developing Shin Megami Tensei IV Final for 3DS. First details about the game have since leaked out of this week’s issue.

Here’s what we know thus far:

General

– Year 203X
– In order to avoid destruction from the war against the gods that suddenly broke out 25 years prior, thick bedrock was made to cover the sky
– This also prevented any contact with those outside
– It wasn’t long until the battle ended, and the people of Tokyo began to fight and murder others for the little amount of supplies and resources that remained
– The people have become ruled over by the angels and demons that stood atop the food chain
– Masashi Doi is working on character designs
– See the likes of Merkabah, Lucifer, and others, including Medusa from the previous game, in their refined forms
– 90% complete

Protagonist (CV: Hiro Shimono)

– Has been spending his days as an apprentice of an organization called the Inhumanity Hunter
– While out on a mission, he takes a surprise attack from a demon, and dies

Mysterious Demon (CV: Shuichi Ikeda)

– The protagonist is given a new life and the ability to summon demons

Asahi (CV: Seike Tomoko)

Navarre (CV: Shintaro Oohata)

– Same Navarre from Shin Megami Tensei IV

Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is coming to 3DS, Atlus has revealed. The game will be released in Japan on February 10 for 6,480 yen.

Teasers from Atlus today suggested that this would be a new version of Shin Megami Tensei IV, but that’s not the case. Famitsu, which has full coverage of the game this week, says it’s an entirely new project set in the same world. “Godslayer” is said to be a keyword.

ATLUS has tweeted something very mysterious in regards to the Shin Megami Tensei series. The official website for Shin Megami Tensei IV has now been updated with a gigantic question mark with text that translates to,  “In 15,000 tweets, a disaster will begin”.

What could this possibly mean? We may have a new Shin Megami Tensei game on the horizon, but the announcement will come quicker if we help get the message out there!

If you’re on Twitter and want to help ATLUS reach 15,000 tweets to reveal the mysterious new title, head to the site and click on the question mark! Alternatively, you can just click here to tweet it out.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE is coming to Japan in late December. As the game is just a few months away, we’ll now be seeing more regular coverage of the title. Famitsu does have another update on Genei Ibun Roku #FE this week.

There are a few keywords for Genei Ibun Roku #FE like “Idolsphere”, “Mirage”, and “Mirage Master”. The Idolsphere is an alternate version of cities such as Shibuya and Harajuku where the Mirages come from. As for the plot, it’s about an average protagonist who stumbles into such a world. Mirages are mysterious beings from the Idolsphere dimension that lend their power to humans. Of course, they look like Fire Emblem series’ heroes and villains. Mirage Masters, who receive aid in battle from heroes such as Chrom and Sheeda, are those who hold a mysterious power that allows them to utilize Mirages by summoning them.

This week’s issue of Famitsu shares more on Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Along with two brand new characters, we have news about three new Mirages.

Below is information about the latest characters, courtesy of Gematsu:

– Mamori Minamoto (voiced by Kaori Fukuhara) – A talent and Mirage Master that belongs to the same public entertainment office as the protagonists. She’s an elementary school student that likes Showa era songs and clothing.

– Barry Goodman (voiced by Yuichi Nakamura) – A once popular musician who’s come to Japan in search of otaku culture. Following his retirement, he works with the protagonists as a trainer.

Finally, Famitsu confirms that Tharja, Virion, and Draug will be included in Genei Ibun Roku #FE as Mirage characters. The first two are from Fire Emblem: Awakening while the latter debuted in the very first game. Tharja is Kiria Kurono’s Mirage while Virion belongs to Eleonora Yumizuru and Draug is Mamori Minamoto’s Mirage.
