Game is fun. Story is solid. Censorship/Alterations was/were not needed. FE stat RNG I can do with out. Thankfully they put a mechanic in place to overcome this. Has a strong Persona 3/4/5 vibe to it. JRPG of the year(2016) for me.

Originally this game was set to be a crossover game from Shin Megami Tensei series and the Fire Emblem series. That partnership resulted in the curret game, Tokyo Mirage Seseions #FE. You can find elements of both games into the series, with Shin Megami's gameplay and familiar Fire Emblem characters (including Fire Emblem Awakening). The game plays out on your career as a Japanese pop idol, that is very fun and entertaining. This game is recommended to those more interested in Japanese culture, as the game is subtitled in english and most in game banter is not subtitled.

Great Game, OK Collector's Edition

This is mostly a review on the collector's edition. The game itself is a nice standard RPG that's much more accessible to play than your typical JRPGs. If you're a fan of the Persona series, you'd definitely gravitate towards this more than any fan of Shin Megami Tensei or Fire Emblem seeing as the combat system is very similar to their games. If you're a big fan of Fire Emblem you'll be a bit disappointed knowing that any part that is FE related is reduced to your "mirages" that you summon to fight for you.
The collector's edition pretty much just comes with some stickers (meh), a CD sampler soundtrack (awesome) with some optional cover art slips for each of the main characters and their respective "singles". It also comes with a neat artbook, which is great for any fan of behind the scenes with games and conceptual art. Overall it's a decent deal if you already have the Best Buy Gamer's Club Unlocked and get that 20% discount!

A Solid Turn Based JRPG

If you have enjoyed the Shin Megami Tensei style of turn-based combat or Atlus developed JRPG's in general, you are more than likely the like this title. Many people wrote this off expecting a more grounded crossover between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem, two acclaimed franchises, but Tokyo Mirage Sessions manages to stand on its own with it's unique theme and engaging gameplay.
If you enjoy solid JRPG turn-based combat, fun characters, and excellent blend of art and music then Tokyo Mirage Sessions is the game for you.
*As this is a special edition review, I can say I'm satisfied with the Selection Soundtrack, artbook, stickers, and DLC codes that game with the edition. The Soundtrack comes in a stylish sleeve case containing art cards featuring the in-game artists for the songs along with the lyrics in Japanese and English on the back side of the respective art cards. The artbook has a great selection of concept art and some words from the developers. Overall, a worthwhile package.

TMS is a solid and fun JRPG, especially for fans of either Fire Emblem or Shin Megami Tensai. The characters are great, music is great, and story (and especially side stories) is a lot of fun. The DLC is great if you don't want the game to be as much of a grind, and comes with this edition. The edition also includes stickers (Meh) and a soft cover art book (woo!). Highly recommend the game and the edition.

First of all, this game is great. Definitely weird and different and that's why it's awesome. This game was rumored to exist for a long time, leading to massive speculation on what this crossover would be like. It was nothing at all like what I thought - it's a a fun and wild J-pop RPG that is sure to give you a unique experience. the collectors edition has some cool items in it, one of which is a sound selection which I really like. The package arrived damage (the only time that's ever happened with Best Buy), but otherwise, all contents were in great condition.

Really fun battle system and very interesting story. The attention to detail in modeling the city area much like Akihabara in Japan is great!

I give the battle system a 5/5
Soundtrack 4/5
story 3.5/5
Over all a 4/5 for the game, if you own a Wii U and are looking for a game similar to the persona series but a little more fluffy this is perfect for you.

From the art book, to the stickers, to the cd, to the game itself. Such beauty in the tiniest of boxes. The art book features all of the characters and their pre animation sketches along with the backgrounds featured in the game. The stickers include the main four characters of the game. And the cd with 6 songs and 7 song introductions/conclusions and an individual card for each song, which contains the lyrics in Romaji.

The special edition is pretty cool. The issue is really the game. The port has censored a few thing that should not have been done. Overall, this a good game to play.

A niche, dazzling JRPG that isn't for everyone

Chances are you already knew if you were going to buy this game or not, and reviews won't really sway you either way. This game caters to a niche market. A catchy, colorful JRPG made from the creators of Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei. Not quite as good as either series, but it's not a bad game. What will really draw you in is the over the top, poking fun it does at the genre. It's funny, goofy, and entertaining. It's not a hardcore rpg, it's not super challenging. But it's fun. It's a nice change of pace to the more punishing JRPGs some developers are known for.

This game is a gem hidden on the Wii U. Looks like Persona 4, plays similar to Persona 4, but has Fire Emblem character cameos. Overall, the game is a light-hearted and fun JRPG that shouldn't be missed if you own a Wii U.

I've played about 3 hours so far and I am absolutely loving the game, reminds me a lot of persona moreso than a traditional shin megami tensei title. Regardless you should definitely give this game a go!
