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 in an alternate-universe version of Tokyo, 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, [[Gangrel]] and [[Aversa]], reinterpreted as enemy monsters, and [[Chrom]], [[Tharja]], [[Virion]], [[Cain]], [[Caeda]], and [[Draug]] as Mirage partners.
