It's a lesson, really. When you advertise something as a crossover, and promise that to fans, you may want to deliver an actual crossover rather than some pet project with little shout outs to both series.

But yuou know, I may bitch and moan, but if I get a Wii U by the time it's out here, I'll probably play it.

It's still a wonder it's getting a release here, because Japanese sales were apparently really low. Like, record-breakingly low;.

I was at first. But then with each trailer my hype just waned. I mean, the game might have looked cool if it hadn't been marketed as SMTxFE, because in the end it's like 13% FE, 0.2% SMT, and the rest is just idols. "There appears to have been a fusion accident" indeed...

The story also focuses on pop idols, which I just find uuugggghhhhh... But at least they're handled pretty realistically in that they take a look at how society's expectations toward idols and their image are and how that influences their psyche in a pretty messed up way, so at least some layer of Persona-style psychology is still there. It's much better than what I hear about that disaster that is the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei crossover, which reportedly is just "yay, being an idol is so awesooooooooomeeee"

I think my personal favorite is Time to Make History remixed by Akira Yamaoka. If only because I enjoy the absurdity of the friggin Silent Hill composer remixing something from as cheery and, uh, yellow a game as P4. The story is kinda meh, but the gameplay is really cool if you like rhythm games.

I love how jazzy it is, but I understand it's not to everyone's taste Especially since you don't enjoy Persona music in general. Still, Dancing All Night has some very creative remixes, so who knows if one of them wouldn't be to your liking

So Heaven from P4 has this really cool remix in Dancing All Night by the Bayonetta composer

Yaaaaaay

Yeah, it'd be cool if your novel got popular enough to warrant little additional episode being published. I actually have a couple in mind for Fool's Journey and Crosswords. I migh write them if I ever get block again.

So I talked a with Wolf about this a bit. Do you ever think of side stories for your novels? Like short stories set in the world, but not really fitting in with the main plot?
