Gigguk Plays Metaphor: ReFantazio

[@kyledouglascox]

24:00 - Oh, you haven't even seen the menu yet 🔥👌

[@MyWorldIsSquare]

"I wasn't expecting that line to be so sassy!" God I felt that. There is a conversation with Gallica near the end of the prologue where I thought I was just agreeing with her and it turned out to be such a savage response in a tough moment for her haha. I wanted to reload so badly but it had been like 20 minutes since saving.

[@Foogi9000]

How long is the Demo?

[@MyWorldIsSquare]

@@Foogi9000 I got to the point where they tell you how many "days" you have left around the 5-6 hour mark. But from that point you can probably still get another couple hours of gameplay depending on how you decide to tackle those remaining days. If you go straight to the dungeon, you'll have less time than if you choose to explore. So short answer... 5-8 hours?

[@wood1066]

​@Foogi9000 the romance was never forced except in the original P3. In the other games you always had a choice to romance or not. I 100% guarantee if they make an enhanced version of this game they'll add an option to romance.

[@enkerro-ti8jg]

@@Foogi9000 you don't need any game-like mechanic for men like Giguck to fetishize a pile of pixels

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

Well, there IS an implied love interest if you go through her bond. It doesn't outright say it, but it is HEAVILY implied to be mutual love. You can't CHOOSE who you romance because, as the game makes it clear from the beginning, you are only a guide, not the main character himself. His choices are still ultimately his own.

[@wood1066]

@@jonathangoodwin5609 Yeah, the game does kinda have a canon main love interest. You can kinda play dumb and act like you don't understand her feelings, but the game doesn't give you a choice that just outright rejects them like in Persona.

3:36 - the text says "7 - kio estas utopio" or "chapter 7- What is a utopia."

[@rambo32404]

damn bro where you learn that ?

[@RedWillB]

@rambo32404 I have learned youtube doesn't like links, so I'll try to answer this, again. I found a picture someone put together of the entire character set and number set for the game online (search metaphor refantazio character set/complete alphabet or something along those lines, you may find something). The alphabet seems to typically use esperanto, but sometimes will use Romanized Japanese (such as for anything the Eugif write, or certain text found in the background of the memorandum) and English (also found in the memorandum and on certain documents such as the general soldier agreement). You can also find the character set when inputting the player and character's name. Directly under the input box you'll see "signaro" (lit. Character set) twice and under that is the entire alphabet. It'll say character set, again, then the alphabet and number system. You can also find segments of the alphabet on the right side of the screen when making choices during the story. I recommend learning the alphabet and number system because it's found all over the background of the game world, and it really fleshes out the different races and how they see the world they're living in. It's very cool. There's also a few Easter eggs found throughout the game you won't get unless you learn it.

16:10 what she says is true on world building. You usually don’t think of a existing person or location to make your own world, music is what inspires you. Find a song you really like, close your eyes and imagine a world based on how the song plays out.
