Mostly because they are RPGS!
Persona 3 Portable LiveblogAren't they both really popular in Japan?
Not Three Laws compliant.Well...yeah. SMT is kind of a mixture of post apocalypse and science fiction, depending on the series. Fire Emblem seems to be pretty straight fantasy, medieval fiction, or something. And most SMT titles are turn based RP Gs, but I think the Fire Emblem games are all SRP Gs right?
It just seems like such a weird fit.

Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!Both are popular series in Japan from well regarded companions and they've had games that deal with Order vs. Chaos. They're also RP Gs in a way. It makes sense to me.
Fantasy and Scifi can't go together? I think franchises that mix those two generally turn out awesome.

The Devil Survivor games seem to be really popular too. They are making that anime.
Not Three Laws compliant.I don't really understand why they're making that either.
Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!Me either but...eh.
But, high hopes for this game! I am curious if there is any fanart yet...

Persona 3 Portable LiveblogThe Persona 4 anime was a hit and Devil Survivor 2 was, I think, the newest SMT game at the time.
Not Three Laws compliant.Well yeah, but they've got a whole backlog of games to choose from. Why not make a King Raidou anime, or a Nocturne anime?
For the record I'm not really against this crossover, I just don't get why people are excited about it.
Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!Because professional, inter-company crossovers don't happen that often, and thus, are a big deal.
I sure said that!Is that all it takes? Shouldn't there be more to it?
Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!It's also two series with a high level of quality from two companies that normally work to maintain that level of quality.
Not Three Laws compliant.I like MegaTen and I like Fire Emblem. Good enough for me.
This. Even if I don't know much about FE, I do know that Atlus is strong on quality. That makes me VERY hopeful for this game.
Nintendo Hard + The company That One Boss can be renamed for = a pleasurable pain

Persona 3 Portable Liveblog...Huh. So, this is real, and not a crackfic or fangame. I guess I'll wait for more information about it before I decide what to think, because I honestly have no idea how this is going to work
I...I guess. I mean I guess I'm just only a fan of half of this combination. If it turns out turn based I'll probably be more excited.
Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!That is exists? Yep. It does.
Persona 3 Portable LiveblogAxes beat spears beat Cerberus? Sigurd vs Surt?
Surt:"Verily you will not find solace in the Valfather's hall nor Folkvangr! Laevateinn shall consume you entirely in ways ye cannot comprehend, as it will all things after the death of men!"
Sigurd:"The extent that your flames consume me matter not, the song of the SigmundVylonson who defied a son of Muspell will never be silenced!"
Sigurd attacks. Does no damage. Surt attacks. Judral is reduced to ashes. Surt attacks again and hits a part of Tellius.(Now we know why Ashunera really caused that flood)
Modified Ura-nage, Torture RackYeah, this is MegaTen. No matter how powerful Surtr is, there is no way in hell he just no sells Sigurd's attack and burns the world by just swinging his sword. For all the demons and how powerful they can get, strong humans can usually at least hurt them, if not defeat them.
I'd actually say that if he has Tyrfing, Sigurd might just greatly wound Surtr with that one slash.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.Never messed with Fire Emblem much but I've always been a pretty big Mega Ten fan. I don't see this being nearly as dark as a typical Megami Tensei title if their other recent title's any indication.
Which other recent title? SMTIV? Devil Survivor 2?
If you are talking about Fire Emblem, it can get pretty dark. From what I've seen, for all the lighthearted moments and elements, Awakening alone can get rather dark.
Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.Should of said Nintendo's other recent crossover. Though I suppose the difference in primary demographics here is a little smaller than usual.
I doubt we'll be supplanting Biblical figures or shackling humanity's will, regardless.

Odie Etsy: Really? If it was SMT and Pokemon or Kirby I'd buy that but FE is not completely out there. It's still a shock but I can understand why they'd do it.
