'''''Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE''''' (''Genei Ibunroku♯FE'' in Japan, formerly referred to with the tentative title ''Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem'') is a crossover between ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' and ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' for the UsefulNotes/WiiU. Originally revealed in January 2013 in a Nintendo Direct, a full trailer was only revealed two years later, in another Direct in 2015, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPkqezNoG34 which can be viewed here.]] The E3 trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHkhJ1LvtkM here.]]
However, the flavor it is taking is rather ''unusual'', [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent even by both series' standards]]. What we know is that the setting is an UrbanFantasy and the gameplay looks similar to the later parts of the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' series, but with the weapons, abilities and entities heavily based on ''Fire Emblem'', including enemies styled like demons/shadows but based on ''Fire Emblem'' characters. According to WordOfGod, the game is more of a ''Fire Emblem'' game in the style of a ''Shin Megami Tensei'' title rather than a "traditional" crossover.
The story takes place in modern day Tokyo, revolving around idol singers trying to make it big. OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Itsuki Aoi is practically dragged into the world of show biz by his friends; one of them being [[CuteClumsyGirl Tsubasa Oribe]]. As it happens, however, a group of supernatural beings called "Mirages" have begun to invade the world in search of Performa; the creative energy people possess that Mirages can suck out of them. While some of these Mirages are evil, there are others that are good and are attracted to humans with just as much Performa in them. Both Itsuki and Tsubasa's world change forever once they are forced to enter the "war between glamour and darkness" once some of these good Mirages come into contact with them. Turning into "Mirage Masters", these chosen humans are tasked to join forces with the good Mirages to safeguard humanity from the evil Mirages.
----
!!''Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem/Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE'' provides examples of:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Kiria's song "Reincarnation" puts the emphasis on the "tion" in both [[GratuitousEnglish "reincarnation" and "realization"]]. It remains to be seen if this will still be the case in the English version.
* AmnesiacHero: The Mirages have no memory of their past lives.
* AnimeThemeSong: Several, given the game's overarching IdolSinger theme.
** The debut trailer has one, ''Reincarnation'', which in-universe is Kiria's chart-topping single.
** ''Beastie Game'' is in the second trailer, sung by none other than Tiki.
* ArtShift: The game has three art styles: The hand drawn animated sequences, the pre-rendered cutscenes in a style reminiscent of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]] for the character's idol videos, and in-game sequences.
* BattleStrip: In the trailer, a brief clip shows Tsubasa (the main girl) looking determinedly at something before twirling around and whipping off her clothing to reveal a white bikini/underwear. Later footage revealed this was to bait in a Mirage that was possessing a photographer to kidnap swimsuit models.
* AssistCharacter: Characters in the "Sub Cast" part of the party menu can assist the "Main Cast" during battle.
* BirdsOfAFeather: The protagonists are typically paired with Mirages that are similar to themselves in some manner.
* ButNotTooForeign: Eleanora "Elly" Yumizuru is half-Scandinavian.
* CharacterClassSystem: Friendly Mirages are classified under the same class system ''Fire Emblem'' uses. For example, Chrom is a Lord-class Mirage.
* ChildhoodFriend: Itsuki and Tsubasa.
* ColorMotif:
** Following a trend set by the recent [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]] games, this game features an abundance of a particular color throughout its theming and interface. This time around, it's green.
** Several of the characters also have surnames referring to colors such as Itsuki ''Aoi'' (blue), Kiria ''Kuro''no (black), and Toma ''Aka''gi (Red). The conspicuous exceptions of this being Tsubasa Oribe (though her first name means "wings", a reference to her being a Pegasus Knight) and Elly Yumizuru (though the 'Yumi' in her name means "bow" which references her Archer class).
** Even further, the hair colors of the currently shown characters (Blue, Red, Black, Green, and White) match up with the five colors of the Fire Emblem from the original game.
* CombinationAttack: Dual Arts, where two characters pair up and attack together. The attack changes depending on the characters involved, and a Dual Art between two characters will strengthen depending on their relationship.
* {{Combos}}: Session attacks involve multiple party members attacking one after the other, chaining attacks that're recorded on a hit counter.
* ConspicuousCGI: Utilized in the more elaborate non-gameplay parts of the trailer.
* CreatorProvincialism: It's set in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan, and features female characters who are idol singers.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Chrom, Caeda, and Cain look a LOT more intimidating than their traditional designs, but they are clearly heroic. However, they also have to be tamed by the heroes in order to utilize their powers.
* DetachmentCombat: Gangrel can detach his head from his body and attack the entire party.
* {{Expy}}: In a broad sense, Itsuki's combat form is one for Marth.
** Tiki, as a popular "Singaloid" is a loose one for Hatsune Miku, and vocaloids in general.
* EyepatchOfPower: Kiria appears throughout the trailer with her hair tied up [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]-style, wearing green-and-black midrff-bearing armor with a black feathered trim, a devil tail, and a large black eyepatch.
* FacelessMasses: Non-important [=NPCs=] are rendered as flat, solid multicolor beings, like in the ''Just Dance'' games.
* ForeverWar: A recent interview has revealed that the mirages have been engaged in one. Their current appearance is the product of losing parts of themselves that were inefficient for survival and combat.
* GenkiGirl: Tsubasa and Eleanora.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Maiko LOVES hitting the sauce.
* HenshinHero: The leads combine with their respective Mirages, forming outfits based on those Mirage's appearance from the game.
* HeroicHost: The Mirage Masters towards their Mirages. They get the phenomenal fighting abilities of their partners in exchange for providing energy for the Mirages.
* HeroicMime: Averted with the protagonist, Itsuki Aoi, here. Unlike most Shin Megami Tensei protagonists (which are avatars for the player), Itsuki has a defined name, voiced lines, and presumably a canon personality.
* HotterAndSexier: In comparison to both parent series. The reveal trailer alone has both male and female characters down to their underclothes, and the female characters' idol costumes in particular are {{Stripperific}} as hell. This was reduced somewhat in late 2015, when at least one heavily revealing costume was made more modest.
* IdolSinger: Pop music, Japanese Idol culture, and the entertainment industry are the central themes. In fact, every character is part of the entertainment industry in some form and the company they work for intentionally scouted them due to their powers.
** Tsubasa wants to be a pop singer, and one of her outfits is comprised of a black bra and hot pants with detached sleeves, gold bangles on her wrists and thighs, a collar, and a huge star-shaped necklace. Her Pegasus Knight outfit also resembles a frilly idol singer costume.
** Kiria, another female character who joins the party at some point, is also a famous idol singer - her Mage Class staff is even a microphone stand - who appears on a billboard on the Shibuya 106 building and on advertisements throughout the trailer.
** Tiki is Hatsune Miku in all but name (even being called Singaloid [=TiKi=]) She also sings the theme song for the second trailer.
** Toma wants to be an actor and works as an extra on a Tokusatsu show.
** Elly is an actress and aims to be a Hollywood star.
** Maiko is their boss, being the president of a company called Fault Entertainment which also scouts Mirage Masters.
** Itsuki is part of the company, but isn't really interested and had to be dragged into recruitment.
** One of Tsubasa and Eleanora's Dual Arts involves them [[MusicalAssassin weaponizing a duet.]]
** The costumes worn in battle by the characters resemble outfits you'd see worn by J-Pop groups.
* InstantRunes: Magic casting does this, but with a twist: in keeping with the IdolSinger theme, the runes contain ''signatures''.
* InTheHood: The enemies you face in combat appear in the dungeon dressed in red cloaks with no face.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: It's pronounced Illusory Revelations Sharp [=FE=] (as opposed to hashtag, which most people pronounce # as nowadays). Rather appropriate, considering in-universe Idol singers make up a couple of the main characters (as # is pronounced as sharp when referring to the musical notation variation).
** Strictly speaking, it should be written as ♯FE, not #FE, with ♯ being the sharp notation.
* JigglePhysics: Kiria and Tsubasa have large busts that jiggle conspicuously during some scenes, but Maiko is even bigger and bouncier.
* LimitBreak: Mirage attacks, where a mirage master uses one SP (SP is a relatively small resource, with EP being used for general spellcasting) to call upon the power of their mirage.
* LyricalDissonance: When translated, [[https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/shin-megami-tensei-x-fire-emblem-reincarnation-lyrics-translation/ the lyrics of the song]] playing over the second trailer (named Reincarnation) is rather dark while sounding incredibly peppy:
--> I want to destroy all of the important things I've held onto
--> You can heal me of this painful loneliness
--> (Chorus) Reincarnation, Realization
--> …I want to disappear
--> The noise of the endless city streets
--> The melancholy of false smiles
--> The real face behind them, in a way that has never been seen
--> Whenever someone is anxious
--> Even if they don’t say it, we know it
--> I want to destroy all of the important things I’ve held onto, give me the courage
--> But, I won’t be up front about it
--> Even when I’m lost, even when I’m troubled, I still want you
--> At least, I will destroy this painful loneliness
--> (Chorus) Reincarnation, Realization
--> I want to be reborn.
* MeaningfulName: Nearly every character has a name where at least part of it hints at their role or character class. They're even highlighted on the official website.
* {{Meganekko}}: Maiko.
* MsFanservice: While most of the girls can count, Maiko is the top contender, having been a gravure idol when she was younger.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The majority of Mirages are parasites who suck people dry of their passion and drive, called performa. The heroic Mirages such as Chrom or Caeda partner with people with high amounts of performa in order to let these Mirage Masters fight off more villainous Mirages.
* MythologyGag:
** Itsuki Aoi, the lead, has the blue hair, blue outfit, cape, and rapier that almost every lord of the series has had. His outfit borrows most heavily from Sigurd, with a white cape and cravat, but also has elements of Marth's manga outfit, with the golden fringe on his shoulders, and Chrom's promoted armor. He is the only cast member who has no desire to be an idol, instead prefering to stay in the shadows, like Kris from ''[[FireEmblemAkaneia Heroes of Light and Shadow]]''. At one point in the trailer, he's also shown casting thunder magic, the preferred means of attack from Robin. His Mirage is even Chrom.
** Hitoshi Yamagami, a longtime producer of the ''Fire Emblem'' series, once stated he wanted to make a game set in modern-day Tokyo, where a pegasus lands on the roof of the Shibuya 109 department store. While it may not land on it, the ''Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem'' trailer opens and closes with a pegasus flying in front of the game's version of said building. And one further, the actual sequence from the game has said pegasus starting from the top of the building before landing in the plaza below to fight a dark flier based monster.
** Tsubasa Oribe, the female lead, has blue hair and a pegasus theme in her idol clothes and vehicle, which harkens back to Caeda, a blue-haired pegasus rider who was the love interest of the main lead of her games. Appropriately, her Mirage is Caeda.
** The reveal trailer gives a glimpse at iconic settings from both franchises, namely a [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI destroyed Tokyo]] and the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Mila Tree]].
** The magic energy called Performa sounds just like Persona.
** The Japanese title is even a nod to other games, but that is known as ''Megami'' Ibunroku (which is the original title of Persona 1 and Devil Survivor). Considering the aspects of those games and this one (both having modern-day settings, having ThePowerOfFriendship as a lead trope, and featuring characters in high-school years), this may not be a coincidence.
** Toma is a HotBlooded FieryRedhead, thus he's paired with Cain, the original Red Cavalier.
** Navarre and his Master start out as enemies before joining the party, just like he (and most other members of the archetype he popularized) did in his original appearence.
** Jack Frost appears as the Mascot of the Hee Haw Mart, which is run by an [[Characters/FireEmblem Anna]] lookalike named Shio.
** It's revealed that stores and businesses across Tokyo have demons from ''Shin Megami Tensei'' as their mascots. This list includes the likes of Uzume Lessons Studio and [[ArsGoetia Decarabia]] Jewelry.
** Toma is a guy with [[PlayingWithFire fire element]] that is VitriolicBestBuds with Eleanora, an archer girl. This is a nod to Junpei and Yukari from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''. This may also be a reference to the relationship between Virion and Sully in ''VideoGame/{{Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', further reinforced by their Mirages; Toma has Cain as his Mirage, the character who Sully was the {{Expy}} of, and Eleanora's Mirage is Virion himself.
** Weapon types seem to be taken from both Fire Emblem series staples (Falchion, Iron Sword, Rapier) and SMT staples (Vajra).
** The recruiting of Mirages by Mirage masters resembles visually how recruiting enemy units worked in Fire Emblem: The characters colors change from red, in this case the red robe the brainwashed Mirages wear, to their own colors.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Elly is naturally a blonde but changing to an archer turns her hair cyan.
* RecycledInSpace: ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' [[AC:IN ''FIRE EMBLEM'' STYLE!]]
* RoleReprisal: Creator/TomokazuSugita, Creator/KanaAkutsu, and Hiromichi Kogami reprise their ''Awakening'' roles as Chrom, Tharja, and Virion, respectively.
* RuleOfCool: Quite blatant. If the various character designs didn't clue you in, then there's the futuristic motorcycles and the pegasai with rocket boosters...
* ShoutOut: One of the showcased attacks is [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} the Squid Sisters' pop song]], complete with matching outfits.
** The DLC adds costumes from Atlus's Nintendo lineup, namely [[VideoGame/PersonaQ Rei]], [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV Walter]], [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2 Hibiki]], and [[VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey Princess]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Tsubasa's idol costume is comprised of a black bra and short shorts, and at one point she [[BattleStrip removes her clothes]], revealing what is either a swimsuit or her underwear. Kiria's idol costume initially consisted of a BDSM-type chest harness, a corset, and black panties and garters, but was replaced with black leggings in development.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The game makes use of ''Fire Emblem'''s weapon triangle mechanics.
* TeamMom: Maiko to the kids, being not only their mentor but also their boss.
* TokenMiniMoe: Tiki, who looks about preteen at ''best''. Even her voice actress is younger than the rest of the cast.
* UrbanFantasy: As typical of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' and ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'', the game is set in Tokyo and stars a group of teenagers.
* VitriolicBestBuds: A Treehouse stream commented that Eleanora and Toma have this relationship. They argue during their team up attack and Eleanora even uses Toma's head as a vault.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: While we do not know the stakes yet, the game seems to share the splitting of time between going to school and fighting monsters with the Persona series.
* YouDontLookLikeYou:
** The trailer features Tiki's younger design, albeit not that far removed from her original design... but also [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Gangrel, Aversa and Chrom]], the former two looking incredibly monstrous.
** With the E3 2015 trailer, we can confirm that Fire Emblem characters range the spectrum of this trope, from Caeda merely having an outfit swap to Chrom's GlowingEyesOfDoom to Cain having robotic aspects.

'''''Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE''''' (''Genei Ibunroku♯FE'' in Japan, formerly referred to with the tentative title ''Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem'') is a crossover between ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' and ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' for the UsefulNotes/WiiU. Originally revealed in January 2013 in a Nintendo Direct, a full trailer was only revealed two years later, in another Direct in 2015, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPkqezNoG34 which can be viewed here.]] The E3 trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHkhJ1LvtkM here.]]
However, the flavor it is taking is rather ''unusual'', [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent even by both series' standards]]. What we know is that the setting is an UrbanFantasy and the gameplay looks similar to the later parts of the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' series, but with the weapons, abilities and entities heavily based on ''Fire Emblem'', including enemies styled like demons/shadows but based on ''Fire Emblem'' characters. According to WordOfGod, the game is more of a ''Fire Emblem'' game in the style of a ''Shin Megami Tensei'' title rather than a "traditional" crossover.
The story takes place in modern day Tokyo, revolving around idol singers trying to make it big. OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Itsuki Aoi is practically dragged into the world of show biz by his friends; one of them being [[CuteClumsyGirl Tsubasa Oribe]]. As it happens, however, a group of supernatural beings called "Mirages" have begun to invade the world in search of Performa; the creative energy people possess that Mirages can suck out of them. While some of these Mirages are evil, there are others that are good and are attracted to humans with just as much Performa in them. Both Itsuki and Tsubasa's world change forever once they are forced to enter the "war between glamour and darkness" once some of these good Mirages come into contact with them. Turning into "Mirage Masters", these chosen humans are tasked to join forces with the good Mirages to safeguard humanity from the evil Mirages.
----
!!''Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem/Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE'' provides examples of:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Kiria's song "Reincarnation" puts the emphasis on the "tion" in both [[GratuitousEnglish "reincarnation" and "realization"]]. It remains to be seen if this will still be the case in the English version.
* AmnesiacHero: The Mirages have no memory of their past lives.
* AnimeThemeSong: Several, given the game's overarching IdolSinger theme.
** The debut trailer has one, ''Reincarnation'', which in-universe is Kiria's chart-topping single.
** ''Beastie Game'' is in the second trailer, sung by none other than Tiki.
* ArtShift: The game has three art styles: The hand drawn animated sequences, the pre-rendered cutscenes in a style reminiscent of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]] for the character's idol videos, and in-game sequences.
* BattleStrip: In the trailer, a brief clip shows Tsubasa (the main girl) looking determinedly at something before twirling around and whipping off her clothing to reveal a white bikini/underwear. Later footage revealed this was to bait in a Mirage that was possessing a photographer to kidnap swimsuit models.
* AssistCharacter: Characters in the "Sub Cast" part of the party menu can assist the "Main Cast" during battle.
* BirdsOfAFeather: The protagonists are typically paired with Mirages that are similar to themselves in some manner.
* ButNotTooForeign: Eleanora "Elly" Yumizuru is half-Scandinavian.
* CharacterClassSystem: Friendly Mirages are classified under the same class system ''Fire Emblem'' uses. For example, Chrom is a Lord-class Mirage.
* ChildhoodFriend: Itsuki and Tsubasa.
* ColorMotif:
** Following a trend set by the recent [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]] games, this game features an abundance of a particular color throughout its theming and interface. This time around, it's green.
** Several of the characters also have surnames referring to colors such as Itsuki ''Aoi'' (blue), Kiria ''Kuro''no (black), and Toma ''Aka''gi (Red). The conspicuous exceptions of this being Tsubasa Oribe (though her first name means "wings", a reference to her being a Pegasus Knight) and Elly Yumizuru (though the 'Yumi' in her name means "bow" which references her Archer class).
** Even further, the hair colors of the currently shown characters (Blue, Red, Black, Green, and White) match up with the five colors of the Fire Emblem from the original game.
* CombinationAttack: Dual Arts, where two characters pair up and attack together. The attack changes depending on the characters involved, and a Dual Art between two characters will strengthen depending on their relationship.
* {{Combos}}: Session attacks involve multiple party members attacking one after the other, chaining attacks that're recorded on a hit counter.
* ConspicuousCGI: Utilized in the more elaborate non-gameplay parts of the trailer.
* CreatorProvincialism: It's set in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan, and features female characters who are idol singers.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Chrom, Caeda, and Cain look a LOT more intimidating than their traditional designs, but they are clearly heroic. However, they also have to be tamed by the heroes in order to utilize their powers.
* DetachmentCombat: Gangrel can detach his head from his body and attack the entire party.
* {{Expy}}: In a broad sense, Itsuki's combat form is one for Marth.
** Tiki, as a popular "Singaloid" is a loose one for Hatsune Miku, and vocaloids in general.
* EyepatchOfPower: Kiria appears throughout the trailer with her hair tied up [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]-style, wearing green-and-black midrff-bearing armor with a black feathered trim, a devil tail, and a large black eyepatch.
* FacelessMasses: Non-important [=NPCs=] are rendered as flat, solid multicolor beings, like in the ''Just Dance'' games.
* ForeverWar: A recent interview has revealed that the mirages have been engaged in one. Their current appearance is the product of losing parts of themselves that were inefficient for survival and combat.
* GenkiGirl: Tsubasa and Eleanora.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Maiko LOVES hitting the sauce.
* HenshinHero: The leads combine with their respective Mirages, forming outfits based on those Mirage's appearance from the game.
* HeroicHost: The Mirage Masters towards their Mirages. They get the phenomenal fighting abilities of their partners in exchange for providing energy for the Mirages.
* HeroicMime: Averted with the protagonist, Itsuki Aoi, here. Unlike most Shin Megami Tensei protagonists (which are avatars for the player), Itsuki has a defined name, voiced lines, and presumably a canon personality.
* HotterAndSexier: In comparison to both parent series. The reveal trailer alone has both male and female characters down to their underclothes, and the female characters' idol costumes in particular are {{Stripperific}} as hell. This was reduced somewhat in late 2015, when at least one heavily revealing costume was made more modest.
* IdolSinger: Pop music, Japanese Idol culture, and the entertainment industry are the central themes. In fact, every character is part of the entertainment industry in some form and the company they work for intentionally scouted them due to their powers.
** Tsubasa wants to be a pop singer, and one of her outfits is comprised of a black bra and hot pants with detached sleeves, gold bangles on her wrists and thighs, a collar, and a huge star-shaped necklace. Her Pegasus Knight outfit also resembles a frilly idol singer costume.
** Kiria, another female character who joins the party at some point, is also a famous idol singer - her Mage Class staff is even a microphone stand - who appears on a billboard on the Shibuya 106 building and on advertisements throughout the trailer.
** Tiki is Hatsune Miku in all but name (even being called Singaloid [=TiKi=]) She also sings the theme song for the second trailer.
** Toma wants to be an actor and works as an extra on a Tokusatsu show.
** Elly is an actress and aims to be a Hollywood star.
** Maiko is their boss, being the president of a company called Fault Entertainment which also scouts Mirage Masters.
** Itsuki is part of the company, but isn't really interested and had to be dragged into recruitment.
** One of Tsubasa and Eleanora's Dual Arts involves them [[MusicalAssassin weaponizing a duet.]]
** The costumes worn in battle by the characters resemble outfits you'd see worn by J-Pop groups.
* InstantRunes: Magic casting does this, but with a twist: in keeping with the IdolSinger theme, the runes contain ''signatures''.
* InTheHood: The enemies you face in combat appear in the dungeon dressed in red cloaks with no face.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: It's pronounced Illusory Revelations Sharp [=FE=] (as opposed to hashtag, which most people pronounce # as nowadays). Rather appropriate, considering in-universe Idol singers make up a couple of the main characters (as # is pronounced as sharp when referring to the musical notation variation).
** Strictly speaking, it should be written as ♯FE, not #FE, with ♯ being the sharp notation.
* JigglePhysics: Kiria and Tsubasa have large busts that jiggle conspicuously during some scenes, but Maiko is even bigger and bouncier.
* LimitBreak: Mirage attacks, where a mirage master uses one SP (SP is a relatively small resource, with EP being used for general spellcasting) to call upon the power of their mirage.
* LyricalDissonance: When translated, [[https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/shin-megami-tensei-x-fire-emblem-reincarnation-lyrics-translation/ the lyrics of the song]] playing over the second trailer (named Reincarnation) is rather dark while sounding incredibly peppy:
--> I want to destroy all of the important things I've held onto
--> You can heal me of this painful loneliness
--> (Chorus) Reincarnation, Realization
--> …I want to disappear
--> The noise of the endless city streets
--> The melancholy of false smiles
--> The real face behind them, in a way that has never been seen
--> Whenever someone is anxious
--> Even if they don’t say it, we know it
--> I want to destroy all of the important things I’ve held onto, give me the courage
--> But, I won’t be up front about it
--> Even when I’m lost, even when I’m troubled, I still want you
--> At least, I will destroy this painful loneliness
--> (Chorus) Reincarnation, Realization
--> I want to be reborn.
* MeaningfulName: Nearly every character has a name where at least part of it hints at their role or character class. They're even highlighted on the official website.
* {{Meganekko}}: Maiko.
* MsFanservice: While most of the girls can count, Maiko is the top contender, having been a gravure idol when she was younger.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The majority of Mirages are parasites who suck people dry of their passion and drive, called performa. The heroic Mirages such as Chrom or Caeda partner with people with high amounts of performa in order to let these Mirage Masters fight off more villainous Mirages.
* MythologyGag:
** Itsuki Aoi, the lead, has the blue hair, blue outfit, cape, and rapier that almost every lord of the series has had. His outfit borrows most heavily from Sigurd, with a white cape and cravat, but also has elements of Marth's manga outfit, with the golden fringe on his shoulders, and Chrom's promoted armor. He is the only cast member who has no desire to be an idol, instead prefering to stay in the shadows, like Kris from ''[[FireEmblemAkaneia Heroes of Light and Shadow]]''. At one point in the trailer, he's also shown casting thunder magic, the preferred means of attack from Robin. His Mirage is even Chrom.
** Hitoshi Yamagami, a longtime producer of the ''Fire Emblem'' series, once stated he wanted to make a game set in modern-day Tokyo, where a pegasus lands on the roof of the Shibuya 109 department store. While it may not land on it, the ''Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem'' trailer opens and closes with a pegasus flying in front of the game's version of said building. And one further, the actual sequence from the game has said pegasus starting from the top of the building before landing in the plaza below to fight a dark flier based monster.
** Tsubasa Oribe, the female lead, has blue hair and a pegasus theme in her idol clothes and vehicle, which harkens back to Caeda, a blue-haired pegasus rider who was the love interest of the main lead of her games. Appropriately, her Mirage is Caeda.
** The reveal trailer gives a glimpse at iconic settings from both franchises, namely a [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI destroyed Tokyo]] and the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Mila Tree]].
** The magic energy called Performa sounds just like Persona.
** The Japanese title is even a nod to other games, but that is known as ''Megami'' Ibunroku (which is the original title of Persona 1 and Devil Survivor). Considering the aspects of those games and this one (both having modern-day settings, having ThePowerOfFriendship as a lead trope, and featuring characters in high-school years), this may not be a coincidence.
** Toma is a HotBlooded FieryRedhead, thus he's paired with Cain, the original Red Cavalier.
** Navarre and his Master start out as enemies before joining the party, just like he (and most other members of the archetype he popularized) did in his original appearence.
** Jack Frost appears as the Mascot of the Hee Haw Mart, which is run by an [[Characters/FireEmblem Anna]] lookalike named Shio.
** It's revealed that stores and businesses across Tokyo have demons from ''Shin Megami Tensei'' as their mascots. This list includes the likes of Uzume Lessons Studio and [[ArsGoetia Decarabia]] Jewelry.
** Toma is a guy with [[PlayingWithFire fire element]] that is VitriolicBestBuds with Eleanora, an archer girl. This is a nod to Junpei and Yukari from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''. This may also be a reference to the relationship between Virion and Sully in ''VideoGame/{{Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', further reinforced by their Mirages; Toma has Cain as his Mirage, the character who Sully was the {{Expy}} of, and Eleanora's Mirage is Virion himself.
** Weapon types seem to be taken from both Fire Emblem series staples (Falchion, Iron Sword, Rapier) and SMT staples (Vajra).
** The recruiting of Mirages by Mirage masters resembles visually how recruiting enemy units worked in Fire Emblem: The characters colors change from red, in this case the red robe the brainwashed Mirages wear, to their own colors.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Elly is naturally a blonde but changing to an archer turns her hair cyan.
* RecycledInSpace: ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' [[AC:IN ''FIRE EMBLEM'' STYLE!]]
* RoleReprisal: Creator/TomokazuSugita, Creator/KanaAkutsu, and Hiromichi Kogami reprise their ''Awakening'' roles as Chrom, Tharja, and Virion, respectively.
* RuleOfCool: Quite blatant. If the various character designs didn't clue you in, then there's the futuristic motorcycles and the pegasai with rocket boosters...
* ShoutOut: One of the showcased attacks is [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} the Squid Sisters' pop song]], complete with matching outfits.
** The DLC adds costumes from Atlus's Nintendo lineup, namely [[VideoGame/PersonaQ Rei]], [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV Walter]], [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2 Hibiki]], and [[VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey Princess]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Tsubasa's idol costume is comprised of a black bra and short shorts, and at one point she [[BattleStrip removes her clothes]], revealing what is either a swimsuit or her underwear. Kiria's idol costume initially consisted of a BDSM-type chest harness, a corset, and black panties and garters, but was replaced with black leggings in development.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The game makes use of ''Fire Emblem'''s weapon triangle mechanics.
* TeamMom: Maiko to the kids, being not only their mentor but also their boss.
* TokenMiniMoe: Tiki, who looks about preteen at ''best''. Even her voice actress is younger than the rest of the cast.
* UrbanFantasy: As typical of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' and ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'', the game is set in Tokyo and stars a group of teenagers.
* VitriolicBestBuds: A Treehouse stream commented that Eleanora and Toma have this relationship. They argue during their team up attack and Eleanora even uses Toma's head as a vault.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: While we do not know the stakes yet, the game seems to share the splitting of time between going to school and fighting monsters with the Persona series.
* YouDontLookLikeYou:
** The trailer features Tiki's younger design, albeit not that far removed from her original design... but also [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Gangrel, Aversa and Chrom]], the former two looking incredibly monstrous.
** With the E3 2015 trailer, we can confirm that Fire Emblem characters range the spectrum of this trope, from Caeda merely having an outfit swap to Chrom's GlowingEyesOfDoom to Cain having robotic aspects.
