Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (Switch)

For good or ill, Tokyo Mirage Session #FE: Encore's biggest strength and biggest weakness is that it's pretty much the same game you may have played on the Wii U. It runs better, it looks better, and it has some nice quality-of-life improvements, but it's basically the same game. Is that worth $60? It depends on how much you enjoyed the game in the first place, or if you missed it due to it being a Wii U title. Anyone who is a fan of Persona-style games will almost certainly enjoy it. JRPG fans hoping for something to tide them over until Persona 5 Royale should find a comfortable home in the weird world of Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

Played through it on the Wii U, and the quality of life changes for this Switch edition make it the definitive way to play it. It's such a great slice of life RPG with an amazing battle system and just delightful characters. A small note for anyone that this impacts, the game is fully dubbed with all voice acting in Japanese, so a lot of reading. The translation is fantastic though. I wish they had opted to use the uncensored Japanese version for this definitive port, but don't give this game a miss on account of a few small changes that really don't significantly impact the overall experience of this amazing game.

Wasn’t sure if I’d like this after watching some reviews and gameplay but decided to buy it anyways and really like it a lot. Has persona 5 feel to it but more simplified and bright/cheery. You don’t have to micromanage relationships as much but there is some degree of it. More focus on really fun battles and chaining together attacks with your characters. The dungeons aren’t amazing but enjoyable enough. It runs smooth and looks good on switch in handheld. Haven’t tried I’m docked mode. One thing to note is that it isn’t dubbed. I enjoyed the Japanese voice acting though. If you’re on the fence I’d say go for it.
