    Really good underrated game on the Wii U. Recommend it for anyone who loves RPGs. The graphics in the game look really good and the soundtrack is superb.

    Combines the worst of multiple IPs and doesn't even try to get it right. It feels like this was just a blatant cash grab. I'll never understand Japan's fascination with idols and pop stars. It's unhealthy if you ask me.

    Censorship has totally destroyed the sense of this game.
    The japanese version is still an enjoyable game, coherent with premises. If you have a japanese wii u and understand japanese then you should buy the game. If not then avoid this massacre.

    The sense of tms is to show us the beautiful japanese culture and pop idol culture.
    Nintendo has censored the game in the west and has offended japanese culture and next all the japanese culture fans (which the game was supposed to be dedicated).
    The idol culture isn't shown anymore , a dungeon has been totally destroyed, the entire sense is lost.
    The censorship itself is clumsy and senseless, for example cover a wedding dress, as if a wedding dress was scandalous.
    This probably to appeal a stupid audience like Sjw or puritans, but at the end sjw and puritans haven't bought the game whether or not, so the game has been destroyed in vain, poor sales.
    This because sjw and puritans don't care about hardcore games or games, on the other side fans are pissed off and don't buy the game, in the end nintendo has destroyed a game uselessly.
    Localization team should be dismissed, wasted time on censorship instead of insert english voices.
    Don't buy censored version.
    Games should be localized for who buy them and respecting gamers, not to appeal casuals or sjw.
    It is a shame.    … Expand

    Sadly a below average JRPG being proped up due to the reliance on older standard conventions of the jrpg genre. Do not let blind fanboyism of Japanese culture and anime fool you with this one.

    It is a average JRPG that hasn't done anything more different than Digital Devil Saga or Bravely Default. But if you are a hardcore fan of Persona or Fire Emblem, it probably will be at least a 6 stars. Lastly, the censorship basically kilt the game on arrival.

    Atlus does not step outside safe territory charted by Persona. #FE will mostly be appreciated by people interested in the Japanese idol scene and those of you who need some more Persona right away. [10/2016, p.55]

    Pop and RPG mixture. Certainly we cannot say that this game has no style ... and an incredible amount of fights.

    Story and setting were made with absolutely no pandering for western tastes. Not everyone will find such a dose of pure, undiluted anime to their liking, but RPG and fighting system make it worth a try. And for hardcore fans of Japanese culture Tokyo Mirage Sessions may very well become one of the best games this year. [Issue#211, p.66]
