Nah, whenever people would talk about it they'd say FE X SMT. But people are more pissed over the fact that it looks like a Persona game and not a SMT game.
I don't know what the difference is but apparently there is one.
The reason is (most likly) that more Amricans have played Persona 4 over any other SMT game. I thought Digital Devil Saga and Devil Survivor were spin-offs of Persona when I first saw them and so did everyone I talked about them with. That's what happens when you only relese the Persona games over here and not the orignal Shin Megami Tensei games.
Honestly, I thought the game was going to be an RTS like FE is.
From what I can tell, the first American release for the Megami Tensei series was Persona 1, although SMT 3 and 4 were released in the states. It was the Persona series (specifically Persona 3) that pushed the series as a whole into (somewhat?) mainstream popularity.
