After an absence of over two years from the public eye, the game made its formal debut with a trailer in the April 10, 2015 Nintendo Direct broadcast.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fS24IxelBA|title=Wii U - Shin Megami Tensei & Fire Emblem Crossover Project Gameplay Trailer|site=YouTube|published=2015-04-01|retrieved=2015-04-05}}</ref> The trailer revealed the game was inspired more by ''[[wikipedia:Shin Megami Tensei: Persona|Persona]]'', a prominent sub-series of ''Megami Tensei'', and shares many of its concepts. It showed the game to be set either in Tokyo or in a Tokyo-like city, one which crosses over with another realm where ''Fire Emblem''-esque entities appear to dwell; in this trailer, the only actual ''Fire Emblem'' characters definitively shown were [[Tiki]], here depicted as a young pop idol, [[Chrom]], and [[Gangrel]] and [[Aversa]] reinterpreted as enemy monsters.

The game was released in Japan on December 26, 2015, with international releases following in June 2016.
== Reception ==
{{sectstub}}
In [[wikipedia:Famitsu|Famitsu]], ''Tokyo Mirage Sessions'' was awarded 34/40, with its reviewers praising the game's premise, artstyle, and quality gameplay typical of an Atlus title; one reviewer, however, lamented the game's limited ''Fire Emblem'' references.<ref name="famitsu-rev-ne">{{Cite web|author=Ashcraft, B.|published=January 9th, 2016|retrieved=March 5th, 2016| url=http://nintendoeverything.com/genei-ibun-roku-fe-gets-first-review-in-famitsu/|site=Nintendo Everything|title=Genei Ibun Roku #FE gets first review in Famitsu}}</ref>  ''Tokyo Mirage Sessions'' had a very poor opening week of sales in Japan according to Famitsu. It sold only 23,806 copies in its first week on the market, a figure well below other recent ''Fire Emblem'', ''Megami Tensei'', and ''Persona'' titles.<ref name="jp-firstweek">{{Cite web|author=Reggy|published=December 30th, 2015|retrieved=March 5th, 2016| url=http://personacentral.com/genei-ibun-roku-fe-debuts-with-poor-sales-in-japan/|site=Persona Central|title=Genei Ibun Roku #FE Debuts with Poor Sales in Japan with 23k Copies Sold}}</ref>
