I'm very curious about why our world is a book inside the game world. I wonder if it's a hint about the games plot 🤔

Dragon Quest XII will be a great game.

It’s not an rpg without a snowy mountain location 😂

Found out about this game today, loving your content so far!

The protag seems to have a good bit of personality which i like

If Akademeia is basically the Velvet Room from the Persona games, then it's possible Plateau appearing in the field could be your way of entering Akademeia, similar to the warden/s and the door

Plot twist: Gallica is the real leader, she is the one who giving orders. That explains why the battle continues even traveling boy falls

I believe it was also shown in other footage that anxiety prevents a character from using their Archetype.

new chris video. i'm so ready

the mad lad did the best analysis again 🔥

Have heard about you while looking up various info/videos on Metaphor. I have to say, this was an excellent analysis! Thank you so much for the hard work. I will definitely be checking out your older videos after how good this one was. Once again, thanks so much for the hard work.

Metaphor video Sign me up ✅

1:50 Well, assuming the dubbed voice wasn't just saying it wrong, since we can't hear him actually say it. :p

I see a Chris kohler video, I watch instantly

I was so excited for your next deep dive video. You do such a good job on your videos man. Hope you continue to make videos even after metaphor!

Back when original FFVII was getting pre-release hype in the press you just knew you were on the cusp of something very, very grand. And that's the same sort of vibe I'm getting from Metaphor. The art design for this game is off the charts. Everything I've seen suggests a development team who are on fire. I haven't been so thoroughly prepared to clear the decks for an RPG like this in years.

Great video, I’m so exciting g for this videogame, I really thing that this game will be goty ❤

the weekdays are actually a bit similar to japanese lol 火曜日、水曜日、木曜日、金曜日 火 means fire 水 means water 木 means tree 金 means, not really metal, but gold

Wow, you are very observant. I wouldn't have noticed all these details. I wonder how long it took you to enact all these theories prior to even making this video. Kudos. 👏

This game is beautifull. Is there any information when i can pre-ordered this on PS4?

Is the ps4 version Japan exclusive only?

Is the ps4 version Japan exclusive only?

i think you’re mispronouncing the Fantazio part of the game’s title

Archetype Repertoire is probably just compendium completion tracker like in the persona games

I can't be the only one who thinks that Louise looks like Lucifer, right?

That image of zorba definitely looks like he’s using an archetype

I so badly want this game, but I am gonna feel like such a sucker if they release an enhanced version in a few years, so I'm gonna wait. It's gonna be a painful wait though, because this looks insanely good, and I really wanna avoid spoilers

Man, many games look so much better before release, but after release I kinda lose interest in them :/

Holy, I was not expecting this!! So excited to watch!

3:23 Seymour Guado flashbacks...

Man, you doing great

Always excited when you upload Love the dedication

At 6:23 the npc sitting down on the left has dark magla coming out of him, you can see the shards are black, awesome vid as always. There was soooo much stuff I didn't notice

let’s go another video!!!

Thanks for the video!

Man with every drop of methapor video from you make me more hype on this game

great vid again chris! weird at 12:01, when the protag has the notes over his head, there is a similarity to the persona games. however, in the persona games you only ever see the notes for social stat increases (proficiency, knowledge ect.), not for hp or mp increases from the gym for example. so maybe you also get a stat increase for using the washing machine as well as the mp increase (maybe +1 to eloquence). or maybe i am completely wrong or overthinking this. regardless great vid chris, you vids on metaphor are my favourite out there.

I’m legit insanely hyped for this. Everything looks so good

A fantastic breakdown, I didn't know how much I needed it. Thank you!

As for the protagonist's name, you said "Will" only appears in the english trailer, but the name actually also appears in Japanese footage, so it's either a developer placeholder name ( because, "Travelling Boy" is quite long, they'd probably wanna have something shorter ) or it's his canon name. Another name that's been used for him is "Rene", french name meaning "reborn", apparently on a screenshot from the PSN store. And by the way, "moa" in japanese, is quite literally just the pronunciation of the english word "more", so I think the Akademeia's attendant's name is really just pronounced "more" like the word.

Been waiting of your breakdown nice

man you video are so good! you breakdown the trailers and gameplay so well. Just binged all your other vids on metaphor. keep it up man!!!

Thanks for always making such great videos Chris :)

Really nice breakdown! Something I've not seen mentioned yet is how the magic used by the Necromancer looks exactly like the curse that affects the prince, so might have some story relevance.

Pretty sure "mage" and "magician" are the same thing, just a difference in language. Same with "Fighter" and "warrior".

you're awesome, thank you

I'm assuming an igniter is the tool used to cast the flame attack that hit the caravan.

Now call me crazy, but at the beginning of the trailer I feel like he actually says "a land grotesque as its people", which gives a feeling of how he looks down on everyone else apparently. Excellent breakdown and video, when this game is open for digital preorders I'll buy it day one.

Been waiting specifically for your breakdown! Keep up the great work!

amazing video as always , thank you
