I'm not sure if that kind of trailer is best suited for a global video games trade show like E3 though? I'd definitely prefer something that shows off the game's story or gameplay, as opposed to it largely focusing on information that only the most hardcore of a an already niche audience would understand.
Fair point, I guess they just weren't prepared to take much focus away from Fates by showing people gameplay too. They had gameplay footage later on their Treehouse stream, so it was definitely a conscious decision not to show it during the direct.
I feel sorry for people who were hoping for something more traditional, but I do like me an Idol game, so...
I absolutely loved watching Nintendo's Treehouse Live, but can't help but feel that one of their weaknesses this year was that they relied too heavily on people checking out both. Treehouse Live is an amazing supplement, but the Digital Event also needed to have enough substance by itself.
Considering where Atlus are going with
Illusory Revelations #FE, I think it would be far more beneficial if the international branches replaced the
Shin Megami Tensei branding in the tentative title with
Persona. Yes they are both SMT, but they conjure up different images and expectations.
I actually wrote a WiiUAndMii feature last year about how it might serve the game better commercially if they went with the
Persona branding. Maybe something like
Fire Emblem Idol Persona would be a cool idea for an international title?
