Ok, I've just finished TMS#FE and I want to share with you guys my opinion about this game. First of all, the censorship: yes, it's bad, yes it's stupid. There's un uncersoring fan patch if you want though. I played the normal version.
I also want to point out that TMS#FE is NOT Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. It started as a crossover, yes, but it's clear that during the development things have changed a lot. TMS is more of a Persona game, with japanese idol culture and a bit of FE (keep in mind that I've never played SMT, nor Persona)
So, this game is really good. Not GREAT, but really enjoyable. The gameplay is fantastic: a really good turn based JRPG. The session system is nice and pretty good-looking, and I like how you have to hit the enemies with super effective attacks to really deal damage. Another thing I really liked is how buffs and debuffs are actually really useful.
Storywise, this game can be hated by someone: the plot is pretty MEH, and there are a lot of clichés. I didn't find it bad by any means, just not the best. Also, TMS is FULL of J-pop, and so you have to at least be able to bear that kind of music to enjoy the game.
I heard a lot of people complaining about the lack of FE in this game. I actually think that it's ok. We have characters from FE (the mirages), we have some gameplay mechanic, like the triangle of weapons and the pseudo-random LV up, and some music too. There was one thing that made me turn up my nose a little (SPOILERS NOW, not big ones, but still spoiler): All the mirages, both good and evil, were from only two FE games: Shadow Dragon (I know it's a remake) and Awakening. I understand that Awakening and SD take place in the same timeline, but I really would have liked characters from other FE games. (END OF SPOILERS)
So, summing up, good game, not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.
