Get Metaphor: ReFantazio on your favourite platform now: bit.ly/RagnarAlvarrMetaphor Thanks again to SEGA/Atlus for this opportunity! 🍻

[@rinokumura9223]

you can still fight weaker enemies by pressing triangle if you want

[@Pystoria]

I’m super glad they added the Retry feature! Realizing you made a mistake with preparation and having to soft reset or intentionally lose is sooooooo annoying

[@michaelhowell2809]

Wish you could adjust your archetypes before or during battle but the feature is welcomed

[@animeproblem1070]

Actually this game seriously encourages single day dungeon completions with the mage hero passive that regens 1 mp per overworld kill and with the amount of fodder mobs in dungeons thats 30-40 extra mp even for just a straight run through the dungeon to the boss

I've played over 15 hours so far and I am absolutely loving it!

[@Rachael_Thatcher]

Great review! Thanks for the info, can't wait until I get off work so I can start my Metaphor journey!

[@thx4wrry]

Reordered the collectors edition after trying the demo out. Super excited to open that up and continue the story!

"Anyway, back to the game"

[@HappySquid89]

While I like SMT and Persona the main issue for me personally always was that I have kinda grown out of the monster-raising, pokemon-ish style of game. For Persona it's just the protagonist, but still. Now this game has a regular party AND a job system as well? I'm sold. My backlog is a thing, but if I find the time I really want to give this one a shot, thanks for bringing that to my attention!

[@bradreed4414]

Loved the demo, will get it after vacation next week 😂

[@Nathan-qj9ss]

I would love a merchant only/tycoon only run that would be rly cool

[@TheCobraKing209]

It took me by surprise seeing that the demo itself was 50GB

[@Pat43489]

Are the dialogue choices meaningless like in P5R? I never understood why include dialogue choices when your choices have no impact, and even moreso when the choices are like "Count me in!" or "Let's go!"... Edit : I'm not referring to the confidant interactions - that's basically the only time it had an impact in P5R.

[@cosmicdj9542]

There are still pointless dialog options where both options are exactly the same thing just reflavored

[@theunknownyoriichi]

Random recommendation: try ALL or ANY of your P5R challenges on P5S and see how that goes :> (you're cooked in almost ALL of them 💀)

[@illusive-mike]

Gorramit Atlus, you almost made a calendar game that worked and then you put in MP regeneration again. And doubled down on it by respawning the enemies that facilitate it. And populated certain areas with 90% trash mobs that feed you MP at almost zero risk. Was the game balanced around not using Mage at all? Great game though, and I love how for once the Press Turn system actually benefits the enemies and not the player's party. Bosses casually casting mass-hitting spells that target the weaknesses of effective archetypes for one turn icon while you have to sink multiple into doing the same with Synthesis? Yes please.

[@JoeMama-xu8fs]

Not any were close to being as good as Persona 5 in fact it feels watered down gameplay wise and the story isn't even half as interesting.

[@Pat43489]

When you're done, lmk how it compares to P5R. Just finished P5R and I was disappointed in the themes/story/characters. Last 25% I'd skip most dialogue realizing it's mostly fillers and I could predict what everyone would say. The themes had no depth. All in all, I realized that I would've liked P5R when I was much younger than my mid twenties. That being said, if the story/themes are better or more "mature" in Metaphor, I might try it

[@Fantoohot]

It won't be disappointing if you get into Carl Jung, mysticism, and alchemy because the references are there verbatim. Though I dislike it having be the backdrop but normal gamers would probably not care for it.
