Metaphor: ReFantazio - 17 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting The Game

[@eurogamer]

Do you have any tips to share with the rest of us Metaphor fans? Let us know here in the comments! - Ian

[@jamjam445]

Everytime you come across a crystal that spawns enemies in a dungeon, don't break it right away. Switch to mage and kill a ton of enemies. They should die without entering battle and each kill restored your teams MP a bit. Its basically a free full MP restore. It's a lot faster than having to reenter areas to spawn weak enemies

[@NarfiRef]

MP

[@drchowder4605]

Thank you. MP/SP recovery is the most important thing in Atlus RPGs

[@MisterMixxy]

I just... I literally just saw another video give this exact same list. In this exact same order, even.

[@Counterattack87]

And make the same comments and segways too, right? Just a different order to make it sound different. Something's fucky here.

[@chisaten]

Maybe you should look at the upload time to see if one of them had enough time to copy and edit the other.

[@NoahPlause638]

It's IGNs video it's literally the exact same in the same order and everything...

[@bakanur]

lol yeah I thought it sounded familiar

[@madisonevans7950]

Yup yall are not alone on this. Wtf is going on

[@JudgementWeasel]

What in the...? This is almost beat for beat the same as the tips video IGN released 7 hours ago. I thought it was just a coincidence, until the first four or five tips were almost word for word the same. EDIT: NVM, Owned by the same company, probably legit. Thanks folks that corrected me!

[@nightcatarts]

EG is part of IGN now.

[@BrienBoru]

Also game companies like Atlus send influencers and media outlets essentially prewritten articles full of talking points and game tips unordered to make sure they control what the gaming press is saying. The lazier writers just copy and paste with a few words changed here and there to avoid getting caught by plagiarism allegations. If companies/influences don't play nice, they don't get review copies of future games, meaning they lose out on money and attention as viewers look elsewhere. Cool industry, very normal.

[@tji7046]

You know.. most of these articles are the same because they're all good tips.. but you're right here, this literally is copy and paste

[@nightcatarts]

@@BrienBoru Plagiarism isn't an issue with press releases, but a channel can't simply copy marketing without marking it very clear that's what's going on, at least in the EU (and those rules were copied into UK law). Undeclared sponsorship & so on is something they clamped down on hard a while back, & you don't need to have received monetary recompense for it to count as sponsored content. In the US there's basically no consumer protection so anyone can pretty much do whatever they want, but they can get caught out too if their content is viewed overseas & deemed to be misleading.

[@caseywrable]

IGN has no room to talk about plagiarism.

[@heyojayo8642]

You can save scum appraisals for a chance at higher tier items....i.e Iron Lance = Silver Lance Side Note: Why'd Metaphor have to release same day as Sky Ocean: Wings for Hire like damn

[@champdancer19]

This whole week no month.

[@SrStakeholder]

It’s funny how almost every metaphor video thumbnail have Hulkenberg

[@IchigoKurosaki10]

This just got me very hyped for the game, I appreciate the great work that went into the video, thanks!

[@AZ23MJ]

I just restarted the demo for the second time. Now I see I’ve still missed stuff in the beginning but don’t want to restart again

[@rodrigocampos1302]

Damn, can you go back to fight the dragon? I finished the Demo and now i'm wondering if i should continue at that point or restart

[@katerinagagne1809]

you can't go back, i personally killed it in the demo but i still restarted because it doesn't transfer achievements

[@rodrigocampos1302]

@@katerinagagne1809 thanks for the info

[@katerinagagne1809]

@@rodrigocampos1302 i replayed it all last night and it took me about 2hrs to get back to the like "mission start" when the game lets you do what you want (i put the game on easy and skipped a good amount of dialogue but i think i could've been even faster)

[@nathancroft]

I don't really want any spoilers here, but is there any downside to me doing the first proper dungeon in Grand Trad (the necromancer one) in the first few days, or should I drag it out to close to the deadline before finishing it, allowing me to do more other things around town etc?

[@Noblemartel]

Do it asap. There’s no downsides to doing it immediately and it allows you to start raising your party members follower ranks sooner

[@shadow_born3]

anyone else sit at the dragon for over an hour trying to brute force your way to beat it and get the really nice great sword from the chest?

[@RayTamal]

If I throw mage on the whole party does the passive stack or just the protagonist passive proc?

[@ARTiLLERy31]

Those are passives only the protagonist can use. I think they’re even called „protagonist passives“ ingame. ;)

[@RayTamal]

@@ARTiLLERy31 thank you for that I hadn’t paid full attention to that detail

[@Hershcream]

The hard timer is such a fun killer to me, i love exploring and hate having some dum thing forcing me forward. I have no doubt just like in persona there is plenty of time or narrative drive.

[@elijahbenedict1782]

Does anyone know how to back out of a dungeon to go to the outside hub world? I'm still in the first dungeon 😅😅

[@G4atw]

Can I go back and fight the dragon… I had snuck past it already 😬😬😬

[@Counterattack87]

This video is damn near word-for-word the IGN article about the same thing. So, which one of you guys plagiarized who first?

[@NileSings]

They have the same owner now.

[@MartoPaskalev]

Is this a sponsored video, cause i watched the same on another channel..?

[@PhilWade75]

Has this game converted Ian to Atlus Jrpgs? Or is it just terrific acting 😂

[@almostontimehero5415]

I'm playing on Hard because it wouldn't let me start at Hardcore. RPGs are EZ; if you fail just grind a bit and change up your strategy.

[@Origon09]

Why is this the same video as ign?

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

Because Eurogamer was bought out by IGN along with GamesIndustry, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and Dicebreaker back in May this year.

[@TwistedLegacy35]

I noticed this as well but I learned that IGN acquired Eurogamer so that explains it.

[@Cloud32145]

Yeah same company except the guy narrating seems less bored and is somehow more clear. Where the other one it all sounded like a run on sentence.

[@Swiftfire]

The IGN video looks just like this crazy.

[@That_Crassler]

No romance hurts but it is still fun.

[@TrvisXXIII]

This video spoils so many of the new surprises in the game. Useful tips like the cooking info was important, but footage of later areas, techniques and unique rewards were completely unnecessary

[@emailsucks28]

Boo hoo... You chose to watch a video on tips and tricks. You don't get your way for everything Junior.

[@stoicraziel6272]

These are the IGN tips 1:1 This feels so scummy 😮

[@nattobaby]

redo kinda feels like cheating.imma have to pass on that

[@jareddrake8656]

Huh. Exactly the same tips as the IGN video. Someone copying homework?

[@willyjoestar805]

Lmao dude I just watched ign before I went to this one. Literally exact same thing and order too 😂

[@lmm772]

Ign own eurogamer so more than a cooy its like lending homework i guess

[@AnumaOnline]

It's good but it's definitely not 5*, the art style is ugly af for a start and gives you a headache to even think about playing for 80+ hours

[@yupperdude1]

1. Skip all dialogue

[@calebnelson58]

Why are you playing then? It’s a story based RPG the story is the main reason we’re here.

[@yupperdude1]

@@calebnelson58 relax I was just trolling
