[@Samurai_32]

MY GUY! All your content is amazing. 🎉 I have a copy, so whoever wins will be so lucky! You are an amazing content creator 🎉🎉🎉 I loved this game before it even came out.

[@TheNawaf258]

@@Samurai_32 same here I’m already excited about it

[@Samurai_32]

@TheNawaf258 Im going in blind, which makes me even more excited 😂😂😂 Let's Goooooo!!! Best of luck to us both 💪 I'm gona take my time and enjoy this game.

[@stiiiv19]

I love the design and the art direction

[@kevingarcia9102]

As a jrpg fan it is impossible for me to miss this game, good character and menu design, epic music and that combat style. It is practically the best of persona and smt combined in one

[@Freakymonkey78]

It only gets better playing it. And by god do I freaking stand the boys of the squad. I love the female companions but god damn do the boys get some shining moments

[@iris089]

I would love to experience the story. Plus they made it in a Persona way complete with socials.

[@jonathanruiz7793]

What I'm looking forward the most is explore this new massive and impressive lore that, clearly, is just the beginning of something way bigger!

[@MichalJan]

In Metaphor, I'm looking for things that made me love Persona games - moving story, great characters, and addicting battle system :)

[@joegearhart3842]

I love Persona 5R and am on my second playthrough. I'm only in June and am trying to beat the game by next weekend. Winning this giveaway will be great motivation.

[@ceasec]

So glad you’re covering this game! Looking forward to watching the narrative unfold, mechanics and comps be uncovered, and for your content! 🎉

[@rephiccipher1896]

I'm a huge fan of Persona 3 and this game is like a medieval reincarnation of it. I'd love to have a chat to play such a banger.

[@HandgunAmmo]

Oh man! I'm looking forward to all the colorful characters and experimenting with the archetypes!

[@iannelson5164]

The game looks like a good balance of style vs. substance. I really dig the art direction

[@AnoirDaabouch]

What I'm looking forward the most is the sleek menus and amazing turn based combat. Crafting a strategy, especially for the "human" bosses is so satisfying

[@PeterPan001]

I'm excited to see what the Persona Developers can do in a different environment!

[@Rogueakeri31]

More than anything the gameplay part of mixing archetypes and adding up abilities. Allowing the player to do that to each party member is also amazing. This game truly feels like a combination of Persona and SMT in both gameplay and style. I am so hyped.

[@allybeasley1841]

hiii! I’m looking forward to the story, meeting all the characters and seeing what happens to the prince in the end!!!!! ♡

[@justahole8795]

same I hope the prince lives :3

[@friendbreakfast]

im looking forward the most to seeing the travel gameplay and all the people i can meet and form bonds with - not to mention a continuation to the frankly INCREDIBLE story setup in the demo!!

[@potatoprsk]

The most exciting thing i'm really looking forward to is the combat. After that demo play, and already being exposed to Atlus/Sega's combat style, the new UI, gathering the new classes, and that format of either making it turn-based or a open world attack, and more options for the allies instead of a restriction, just makes it more open for options and it's a new thing to experience! And to top it off, that music is always beautiful and top tier.

[@shinrinkaen8626]

I'm looking forward to leveling up all the Archetypes and getting new skills, and evolving them like going from Knight to Samurai

[@Krow621]

As a long time Atlus fan and being hyped over Metaphor for quite while, it's so nice to see Metaphor getting the praise and attention.

[@naschaos25jxf57]

What I want to experience is the world and its location the designs and aesthetics are so detailed and beautiful. Secondly would def be the story and seeing how it all ends up in the end.

[@MagnetonPlayer_2]

Mainly, to check out the main story, I love good & long campaigns in video games. The trailers have also made the gameplay & characters seem interesting, something I’m very excited about and finally. I haven’t played a good RPG in a while.

[@Megaman1623]

Looking forward to how Atlus will incorporate relatable issues in this fantasy world. Persona is great in taking some taboo/complicated topics and creating compassion as they story tell! Thank you for your reviews and videos @TagTheLegend

[@Gwilherm]

I'm looking foward to try the thief archetype and its evolutions!

[@SJama1]

I’m excited for how the plot develops. I played the demo for a couple of hours and was shocked compared to how it played out. The development was happening much quicker than other Atlus titles for sure!

[@theeenlightener]

Yo u cooking with these drops. I was just thinking, “I hope I find a solid YTr for this game”

[@ao_namikaze]

Looking forward to thr story! To what the Persona Team can write when not limited the classic Persona Japanese Highschool setting

[@aiamaitan]

I’m excited for press-turn system combat and cross-class archetype combo skills! As I’ve so much fun with SMTVV demon combo moves, I’m glad they do it again here in this game! As far as the demo goes, the hard difficulty is kinda balanced, and I’m looking forward to the regicide difficulty. ❤ Thanks for doing the giveaway! ❤

[@svalentine4667]

I am looking forward to seeing how all of the side stories involving NPCs and the archetypes pan out. Hoping they each end up in full arcs akin to other atlus games

[@justahole8795]

I'm really excited to see the social links!! I feel like we've never had a protag who is kinda a miniority, and I'm super excited to see how that is explored!!

[@wolfranger5526]

He is a minority of the minority to the point half the country does not even think his race exists. Can't get any more minority than that

[@kamui7851]

Looking forward to the music in the game the most since i was a big fan of both the osts of the persona and smt games !

[@adnanalam931]

I got into the persona series with p5r and have been hooked to atlus games since. Metaphor appears to have nailed everything that I love about this series and it'd be awesome to get to play it.

[@gurnbao]

Just love the fact there's a lot of dialogue and story telling. Combine this with the fantasy world, fast paced battles and archetype system! Can't wait to play the full game.

[@jeremesmith9266]

I’m looking forward to a robust endgame that offers fun combat, shiny rewards, a super boss or 2, and NewGame+. I’m already in love with the art style from the demo

[@Victor-wi7vr]

I'm looking forward to pretty much everything about the game. Graphics, music, character design, and story. Hopefully it will have the success it deserves.

[@GoldiPegasister]

What I'm looking forward to most are the characters, with every ATLUS game I end up falling in love with the cast and from what the demo showed me, this game will not be an exception haha. I'm really enjoying the combat so I'm excited about all the new archetypes that weren't in the demo!! Good luck everyone!!

[@Avataryaya]

Metaphor Demo was so incredible, legit the first 5 hours, I just knew Atlus Cooked again. Alot of people talk about the slow start of recent atlus games but ayye the pay off is always perfect! W Review! The GOAT

[@bookworm13x]

I really want to see what the story is like, since a bunch of my friends are Persona superfans and they've been loving Metaphor! I am a little worried about the time limits in the game since I usually like to take my time with games and really explore them. But I haven't heard any complaints about that yet, so I think it'll be an interesting change from my normal play style.

[@altb9275]

I'm looking forward for a new story that traps me like those old jrpg of the past. Just like SMT3 back in its day but with the fantasy trope of a FF. I hope i could play it soon, since I strive that kind of sensation once again.

[@brianbalcer]

I'm not far into it but I love it so far. It's so nice to be able to play a Persona type game that isn't full of anime trope teenage characters. It's a breath of fresh air to have more adults in the game, it feels much more mature and the characters, so far, are really good. I didn't like the blur and white lines that appear when you are sprinting or flying around on your sword as well. Luckily the file I downloaded to get the game in Ultra Wide has a setting to turn that stuff off.

[@Yosha99]

I think more than any ATLUS game I'm looking forward to how this narrative unfolds. I'm almost certain there will be some big twist, given how everything's been set up so far in the demo. I trust ATLUS will deliver as well!

[@forherandmeme]

What im looking forward is the story because although the gameplay is good (i played the demo). There's many ways the story can go to reach its end. Plus a good story would encourage players to continue playing the game especially for a game like this.

[@NoPunch_Man]

Before even going into this video, I had my answer to the title. Yes, it's worth it. How'd I feel after your video though? It's ABSOLUTELY worth it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here!

[@glxdiolus]

tbh im looking forward to EVERYTHING. i love atlus’ games sm , the attention to detail in every menu , the characters AND UGH DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MUSIC. its all so good

[@Gawxy_03]

I'm really looking forward to find out how the story continues, I really like the medieval fantasy theme, since what I played in the demo was not enough, no doubt it's a game that many people will enjoy. PD: Very good review very informative and clear with regards to the game.

[@LazerHus]

In Metaphor: ReFantazio, I'm looking forward for its blend of high fantasy and refined RPG mechanics especially the strategic turn-based combat, rich character progression with flexible job classes, and emotional storytelling. And I truly appreciate its atmospheric music and visually stunning environments. Though it draws inspiration from Persona, the unique fantasy setting and fresh gameplay make it a standout.

[@tyler3007]

Looking forward to combat variety and getting to customize archetype builds the most!

[@Rynor_lm511]

Thanks for the chance! When I played the demo I thought it was amazing, so I expect good character development and a deep story, without leaving aside good world design and bosses.

[@Durandaru1]

Looking forward to the subclass system and how customizable it is for the entire party and not just limited to MC

[@DanZaiHU]

I'm looking forward to the interaction between the main character and the partyembers. Spending time with them, talking to them, build relationships.

[@glockenspiel4080]

With an RPG I am always looking forward to the story the most. With what people have been saying about the game it seems like just the experience I'm looking for.

[@samkachu1568]

I’m in the middle of the demo and I’m looking what messages the game will convey, also if there’s a story reason for the monsters being called humans and if the story book ends up somehow affecting the story. The gameplay is also fun and I’m definitely going to enjoy using the different archetypes.

[@rue6368]

I'm looking forward to being able to play as Makato Yuki once again after the heartbreak that was Persona 3s ending.

[@PereLlabresMesquida]

The games looks super cool, the comnbat, the art, the music, the enemy design... I loved P5 and P3, so a new game, without feeling I arrive too late to the IP. Super hyped

[@keylimecat7890]

very informative review!!! it's hard to choose what I'm most looking forward to, I really loved the story in the demo and can't wait to see more of it, but I'm also looking forward to the soundtrack a lot as well since it's just been fantastic so far. good luck everyone!!!

[@bulkhead2857]

I looking forward a great story, with Big plottwist AND AMAZING OST I just prove the DEMO a week ago AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@menkosai]

I'm looking forward to staring at this game's beautiful pause screen and menus for hours. Atlus always killing it with their designs!

[@ysla6415]

I like that metaphor is a midway point between persona and smt but clearly a bit more influenced by smt. Im looking forward to that!

[@james2460]

I’m looking forward to exploring the whole map tbh. The whole setting of the game reminds me of SMT but instead of just demons & angels there’s several other races!

[@ThatOneDude2248]

Man the demo sold me on the game so much. I’m mostly interested to see if the story is as good as other JRPS, but I definitely like the theme!

[@mossyboiii]

I’m INSANELY excited for the characters and the worldbuilding; Persona 5 is my all time favorite game, and those aspects of that game were incredible, but this seems like it’s going to be even better.

[@AngelitoRage]

Thank you for reviewing this game, it makes me want to play it even more as a lover of RPGs, especially JRPGs, thank you so much

[@yamilgarcia3290]

Not sure if its open world but the trasversal and town exploring is something that is having me really interested

[@Jrel777]

I am looking forward to learning about the world of the game, I haven’t even played the demo and the music has me hooked!

[@giotto648]

Im looking foward to see all the cool Ikuto Yamashita designs in metaphor.

[@Frankonator21]

I’m mostly looking forward to building character relationships and checking out the awesome story as I slay monsters along the way

[@celxst]

I'm mostly looking forward to the story, based on the creator interviews etc. I've seen it seems like its gonna be right up my alley.

[@Fantasy_Recollection]

I'm looking forward to spending hours in the world just exploring and or finding broken builds to be able to destory bosses with. I absolutely love Atlus games for the presentation. Great video by the way!

[@somethingrandom752]

YOOOOO, I’ve been looking forward to this game for a while now mostly due to the setting HOWEVER I played the demo and the combat got me more hooked than I could ever imagine and I’ve only ever played persona games.

[@greninjaxd2695]

Heard that the company that makes the Persona games was developing this game which got me curious. Never played a Persona game, but I got to admit, this game does look interesting, and I've heard good things about it.

[@Strella-g6f]

I'm really curious about the whole cast of characters, the art style is incredible!

[@StormShadow0707]

I'm looking forward to the story and gameplay because im looking for a game to bring a fresh new wave of fun for me

[@Kabir_bd]

I am excited because of the art direction of the game. Even just pausing the video, any single frame of the map or combat screen looks so good. I was excited for the free copy. Sadly I do not own an xbox, I only have steam. I am currently trying to save up for a different game. So I am not really able to get this game anytime soon. But appreciate the video. Good luck everyone else.

[@topherclay6131]

I love the fact that i can get lost in every little bit of lore. I'm somewhere near 55 hours in but i haven't been let down with every little quest or fact.

[@JordynBurger-v2v]

I am looking forward to learning about all the characters I love their designs!

[@reidgache3373]

I'm looking forward to the new twist on the Atlus style gameplay we've come to know and love

[@superscoobysam5517]

I’m looking forward to the party members tbh, curious to see how the different tribes interact with each other.

[@Shayma98]

I am looking forward to how it both is similar and different to MegaTen games. I love high fantasy, and I love MegaTen gameplay. Should be a fun mix of the two. 😁

[@purplebacca9479]

This game is going to be an all-timer and/or the start of something new, it's exciting! Personally I'm looking forward to the story and characters, setting etc... however the combat looks so unbelievably fun so it's hard to pick

[@StarHakurei]

I could write a whole essay on the things i'm looking forward to, man 😆 But after putting in 40+ hours into the demo, i'd say the story!! As a writer, the core focus being on how fantasy can shape our reality (for the better) is the exact ideal i'd always wanted to convey through my work. Even having only played the demo, I feel like I can confidently say Metaphor is more than a game; it's a beautiful piece of art that speaks to our humanity That being said, the Giveaway may have led me here, but i'm glad as I really like the look of your channel! Plan to watch your vids in my spare time later~

[@JJ_Jack_Gittes]

To be honest, I'm looking forward to the way time works in the game❗ In terms of traversing across the map, you gotta be inside your moving ship for a period of time, which I found innovative, but I didn't look further into this to avoid spoilers 😂

[@Fizzwin]

The most I'm looking forward to is the amazing soundtrack!

[@deku6677]

Wicked excited for this game. The thing I'm most hype for is the hybrid of action and turn-based combat

[@kakkoi1544]

Honestly, this was Atlus' year as a company and developer, they didn't make a single mistake in 2024.

[@fexfallen]

I'm looking forward to playing trough the storyline and listening to the music, the demo was really interesting!

[@younggamer4281]

Im looking forward to the most is the story and characters. Atlus is probably my favorite video game company and i always wanted them to make a fantasy game which is my favorite genre.

[@Goose____]

Definitely looking forward to the story, it'll probably be as good as p3 and p4 (haven't finished p5 yet so I can't speak on it) Good review too!

[@tarlendo]

The gameplay and the job system looks super cool! Thats what im looking for the most!

[@Apolosclei97]

I'm not sure what I'm looking forward on this game, but I know the best of the bests from SMT series are working on this. I just know that it will be an amazing game

[@Morraak]

What I'm most excited about with Metaphor is that we now have a third franchise on top of persona and SMT! And the fact that it's fantasy.

[@TracyMark-i5w]

I'm excited for the story , specially how it ends I'm hoping they'll do another edition

[@nyykyn]

I have played the demo and absolutely loved it. I understood almost immediately that this game has everything I've always wanted. A unique well detailed world that i can't wait to explore more of. I was impressed with the details in the world building like all days having diffirent names from us. Of course they do, different reglion, different culture, it just makes sense. The main themes of discrimination, inequality, racism talk to me deeply. I started the demo looking for a new adventure with a cool ui, music and combat and got an world that fascinates me like few ever did. And it's not like ui, music, combat and art style are bad. On the contrary, they're all extremely top notch, smooth and just plain cool.

[@topherclay6131]

Heismay is just amazingly written. His story is killing me.

[@hydrocityspd2698]

I'm looking forward to everything thats been packed in the game, specially since its 100h+ I want it for Steam, and thanks!

[@ster7786]

i cant wait to play it... nice review!!

[@pak4148]

Looking forward to see all the different types of content this game has to offer, the demo was really enjoyable.

[@Muazu_]

I'm looking forward to an experience like Persona but more technically advanced, with dramatic narrative, full of very appropriate music and making the game 10 times, even 100 times better.

[@JohnnyDefh]

One of the great JRPGs of Atlus for sure. ARCHETYPES!

[@rashtheboi]

i'm looking forward to using the stylized ui

[@excatheother3430]

I want to explore this whole new world and learn its mechanics, and try to avoid all possible spoilers.

[@ThePaulim92]

Im super hyped for the musics! I hope they are as beautiful as the ones in the Persona franchise.

[@shikisbackyard3721]

The thing i am most exited is the fact that the plot looks like something frsh and has the potential to be atlis magnum opus
