An important point that the NintendoLife review did not mention - did that person even play the WiiU game?

The WiiU port suffered from framerate slowdowns and long load times. The Switch port supposedly has fixed this basically by being better hardware. A very important point that many people would want to know.

I'm on board. Its a Atlus jrpg so gameplay is a blast even though I've never been that big a fan of the Jpop and anime stuff. As far as censorship what was censored was so minor and trivial it doesn't bother me too much. The only exception is the whole dungeon whose theme "modeling' was butchered to censor it. I mean how could anyone be upset about cartoon characters in swimsuits its not like it was detailed or anything. Just make the ages of all the characters older and problem solved. As far as one of the bosses it's hilarious that her breasts are censored in the game by a dark cloud, but still uncensored in the cutscenes. Even that change was trivial. Game still would have gotten a rating for everyone without it.

I'm just crossing my fingers SMT V isn't censored when it finally is released.

You censor your game and you see what happens, Nintendo.

Yaaaa I'm just kidding! The Switch is as hot as the Earth's molten core, of course Tokyo Mirage Sessions is selling like hotcakes.

@KoopaTrooper I mean I have played through the second dungeon (just need to fight the boss soon) and... I'm not seeing the problem here to be honest. Feelings under spoilers just in case:

I can understand why she feels differently on photographing vs just singing live.

Modeling for photos felt more private than singing in front of so many people, etc, etc. People can have problems with different things even if they are a model especially new one like Tsubasa.

Also anyone feeling like the better MC for this game is Tsubasa and Itsuki is like, kinda useless bystander?

@Magician Great news!

I'm having a lot of fun with the game so far! Really enjoy the battle system.

My copy came yesterday, and I'm already four hours in. I noticed something, I can now rewatch cutscenes in the Fortuna Entertainment office. I even checked the Wii U original and the option isn't even there.

I like this a lot since the music videos and cutscenes in this game were fantastic.

@Magician Amazing news it sold out in Japan. IIRC The Wii U original sold the least amount of copies over there.

The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

Skipping the Switch version (at least for now) since I have the original. I'm so glad this game gets a second chance and actually seems to be selling well, at least in Japan. Took a quick look at the eShop charts, seems to be #28 in Europe, #22 in NA and #5 in Japan. I hope everyone enjoys the game as much as I did. Battles are so much fun, thanks to great battle system and catchy battle music. I'm still yet to finish the game since I didn't get it at launch and the Switch was almost out. It's hard to go back to Wii U these days.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm happy that didn't just let this game die. They finally added TMS characters in Heroes too which I thought would've happened sooner. At least Fire Emblem Cipher acknowledged these characters and kept adding new cards featuring them all this time. They've been fun to collect and play with. Here are my TMS cards in case anyone wants to see them. I've added spoiler tags just in case someone here doesn't already know all of the playable characters and their mirages.


Cipher divides cards into multiple colors depending on the game the characters are from. TMS characters are kind of special though since they are in both red and blue according to the Mirages. Red features characters from the first three games and Blue features characters from Awakening, so Caeda is in Red while Chrom is in Blue. Tiki actually has both Red and Blue versions since she appears in multiple games. I happen to only own the red version.

Here are the red cards I own:

I think I have all red cards from the first TMS set except SR Tsubasa. They've only done one full TMS set but they've added some more cards here and there in other sets featuring Blue and Red cards. And some of the side characters have cards too. They're actually Colorless since they originate from TMS and thus aren't directly connected to the main series.

And here are my blue cards, featuring many Kiria cards:

I don't have every TMS card available but I bought set 18 booster boxes which contained new Kiria cards. She's my favorite character in TMS and while I didn't really like her cat suit in the game, she looks quite cute in the card.

It's its, not it's.

@KoopaTrooper No reason to think SMT V will be censored. IV and IV: Apocalypse were full of adult subject matter and gruesome violence. It's likely that the censorship boils down to their use of Nintendo IP, which is going to be tightly regulated.

Just beat the first chapter. It's quite a challenging game, nearly died on that boss.

Can one buy MP restoring items later on in the game?

Agree completely that the lack of a dub on a high-profile game such as this is outrageous.

What? I thought people said it's hyper niche :v

I'm not sure what to tell you but these three combine to niche. 3 niche don't turn to a b i g thing and it's okay

@Snaplocket Dude, 1 million isn't that mainstream. Mainstream is 5millions or above and NONE of the series you listed broke those iirc. (unless you count their Japanese sales but (J)RPG makes that unfair)

They are success, sure. Not mainstream. Mainstream is stuff like Mario, Zelda, God of War, Horizon, those ARE mainstream. They sold like hotcakes. Pokemon is mainstream if you want to give a JRPG example, but Pokemon is like, they are... an exception. Can't be used as a comparison.

Dragon Quest isn't a mainstream on western market, they are one at Japan but that's why I caveated some of what I said with in Japan/Asia.

Okay I'll give that for Miku... but Miku is uh... I feel same case as Pokemon? Like exceptional case because I haven't hear the other virtual idols are getting ANYWHERE CLOSE to Miku's popularity

@Quarth There are some items that restore MP ,It's called EP in this game, but you really shouldn't need them.

The dungeons are small enough to easily leave and come back. Just work your way to the warp point then warp out, drink a soda to replenish health/ep and then go right back in. You can also swap out characters if they use up their EP.

About halfway through my Hard run so far with only one minor hiccup with the boss at the TV studio. He killed me quite a few times, but I eventually took him down.

@KoopaTrooper OK, thanks! That's what I did in the first chapter, using the warp points. Glad it's not random encounters.

Need some help, when is the best time to use a Master Seal on your characters? My approach so far for Fire Emblem has been:

  • Fire Emblem (GBA), Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon Awakening, Fates - Get to level 20 and then promote
  • Echoes - Promote straight away
  • Three Houses - Obtain all skills and then promote

@Grumblevolcano I don't think there's any benefit to waiting to promote in this game. All it really does is increase some stats and unlock different carnages depending on which one you choose. You can switch to the other class option with anothet master seal anyway, so the choice isn't a huge deal. Although I think you only get enough for 2 master seals per character, so if you plan to 100% the game then maybe pick the one you don't like first. Personally I don't bother worrying about that though, I just go with the one I like first and stick with it.

@Grumblevolcano All it does is change a few stats and unlock additional carnages. I'm at the end of my hard playthrough and have used the master seals on each character twice to get all of the carnages. As far as combat I never noticed the difference the slight stat changes made. I'd say promote them as early as possible since the carnage's they unlock provide some great skills.

I mean it’s just anime shovelware which I dislike but I’m glad those that like anime shovelware have it now, and on the go.
