It's completely baffling to me, but at the same time, I want it right now.

It's one large franchise with a bunch of subseries within it. Very traditional JRPGs at their core, but they usually throw in some very unique elements to each game or series. For example, Shin Megami Tensei 3's main twist is that you can negotiate with random demons you encounter in battle to recruit them onto your team. Kind of like a darker version of Pokemon.

Ever hear of the Persona games? That's one of the SMT subseries(Though SMT X FE seems to be purely focused on the main SMT series).

The Shin Megami Tensei series is mainly made of up of urban Japanese occult-cyberpunk fantasies with dark stories and characters with morals that vary from gray to dark gray. The more popular recent games in the series have moved away from the 90s gritty urban fantasy into a modern tech-age with catastrophic world-ending twists.

Good good good great amazing mmm-tasty series. Atlus makes rpgs that a hard but rewarding, and the setting of every game is interesting in its own way. The art is also a plus, as the lead character designer has been with the series from the very first game and has kept a brilliant unified art style through most of the series. I love it.

hmmmm... sounds strange to pair that up with fire emblem. again, dont know much about shin megami, so my opinion is only good for fire emblem, but i'll just have to wait and play it.

i am excited for a different style fire emblem though. not sure if shin megami is turn based or real time, but either would be a cool twist for fire emblem. especially real time. just thinking of being able to press a button to do astra, sol, or aether sends chills up my spine. eep!!

SMT is turn-based. But it would be awesome to see Fire Emblem/SMT crossover in a Star Ocean-type game.

Might as well use this thread to dump any info that gets released.
Index Corporation, Atlus's parent company, issued a PR statement about the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem collaboration.

The statement confirms that the game will be an RPG and that it will be co-developed by Atlus and Nintendo (Source - Japanese).
At least it isn't a fighting game.

I am hoping the greatest aspect of each series is mixed together in this one. Aka recruiting dick monsters and then giving them waifus.

I haven't tried chocolate ice cream, but it looks kind of bad. If it mixes with my vanilla ice cream, vanilla ice cream will be forever tainted in my eyes.
