honestly, even though grius' death was predictable, i still liked it, and i'm really glad metaphor refantazio is getting darker. also, the art direction in this game is immaculate.
Yeah, they raised his death flag the moment we met his daughter, though I didn’t expect to be this early. I was hoping to spend more time fighting alongside him. 😢 And, absolutely!! The art direction is beautiful!!! It almost reminds me of Bravely Default’s and Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light storybook-like art style.
Louis cursed the prince, killed the king, crashed the funeral, and trashed his legacy. He's got balls. King's magic is too fair. RIP Grius, you didn't deserve it.
Johne don’t burn yourself out but also don’t worry about spoilers when it comes to stuff shown in the demo or the first dungeon. Anyways you can also use the kings rock to evolve your Slowbro into slowking.
Playing alongside the series and Im just flabbergasted on how this game is amazing. Its so distinguished from anything Atlus has ever done. Im loving every second of it
Ok, I actually love how the king is not playing favorites. Thank you so much for this! I can’t afford to buy a console they can play it in the switch version probably won’t come out for a couple years. It looks so good. And I’m going to have to read a certain book to see if plot points are found therein… fortunately there should be copies in your local library. Thank you so much for this awesome series of videos!
This is nicely written. Grius' death isn't overdramatic because the game pretty much tells you beforehand "yeah this idiot is gonna die lol". And Louis killing the king not really being a secret is a great change of pace. Usually characters are made to be too dumb to notice that the obviously evil guy did the evil thing, but here the crowd seems to piece together that Louis killed the king and he has to manoeuvre through that, which is a lot more believable.
Loving the game, Metaphor is awesome but dang is it heavy. I'm playing for 4 hour stints then need a break just to let my brain cool down. Fuck ton to take in. Then I watch Johne video on my downtime.... XD
22:29 maria sounds a lot like iris wilson from the great ace attorney... but i doubt it's the same VA, maybe all british children sound the same? EDIT: maria is voiced by scarlet grace, iris is voiced by claire morgan... so all british children DO sound the same. huh.
This is before i watched Grius feels like one of those characters that will definitely die, like shinji or nikari/manabu from smt4A I hope I'm wrong Edit: god dammit
Something small that I noticed: Grius said that the reason people still support Louis is because he left no evidence that would implicate him of regicide. However, you can see the blood splattering on his clothes and face in the opening cutscene. He would have had to change clothes and wash his face with some kind of wash cloth, and both that and his clothes would have had to be washed. I highly doubt someone of his status does his own laundry, so the person who does has some explaining to do...
@matusaold7287 it did occur to me after making this comment that the one who does Louis' laundry is probably a zealous supporter of his, so they probably kept quiet about the mysterious stains on his clothes
When you see what Atlus can pull out in term of spectacle, i can't wait for them to pull their most impressive and groundbreaking artpiece yet : same-sex romances
To be fair, continuing the plan with a colossal magic rock head watching wasn't the best of the ideas I commend the tenacity, but gosh dang, have some flexibility will'ya
i just noticed that there were 2 elda near the protagonist at the cutscene. no white eyes/hair and no wings or tatoes on face. the man in green/blue at 39:13(front) 39:34(back) and the woman that shouts "look there".
*{Yr 2; Day 120} of been impressed by P5R and waiting for P6.* Finally at this part! I'm guessing that, at first, our protag is gonna act as a stand-in for the prince but later take the stage himself. 40:28 Man...I genuinely have nothing to say in defence. Dude's straight up a sociopath... *[Episode Spoilers]* Well, what we expected happened. Come now, we literally didn't see Grius anywhere in the trailers so his death was emminent. I don't mind the obvious happening. As along as it makes sense and holds something of value in the story, it doesn't need to be unpredictable or jaw-breaking. Thats my personal opinion on tropes in media.
this is definitely not anything megaten related (story wise) its a new rpg. BUT, the UI is definitely partially designed by the same bunch who did reload LOL
Don't worry about spamming, please do keep uploading the parts. Maybe just don't put spoilers in the thumbnail and title? I don't have time to play yet, so I'm actually relying on your playthrough! The plot/lore is quite heavy, so I don't mind seeing them now and reviewing them when I play it myself, I wonder if others are like that too.
And every Poliwhirl and Slowpoke in the kingdom evolved at once. It's a shame Grius went the classic way of the old mentor. Unfortunately very predictable and my first small complaint about the story.
just got to say loving it. but i got to ask can people have 2 different eyes colours in real life if so that be cool not see any my self but if you have i like to know please
Hope I am not spamming too much, I want to do double uploads like with P5R but dont want to have spoilers out too soon
❤❤❤
Definitely fine with the spamming! Keep up the great work!
Def not this is still covering demo content
DOUBLE TRIPLE QUADRUPLE
SPAM IT UP!
Anxiety being the literal worst status effect in RPG's is so fitting
Grius: “They can’t pin the crime on Louis because there’s no evidence”.
The Opening Cutscene: 👁️
Well, the characters in the game can't see the cutscene 😂
"mom what determines how well liked a person is" "whether or not they appear on the giant face in the sky dear"

@princerydian Honestly his death flag was way earlier. He's an old man in an RPG that's stronger than you. He screamed temporary
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 Yeah, I guess. 😞
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 He also didn't unlock an Archetype
Apparently we should have known because he had to have the Archetype awakened for him (and also because he doesn't form a bond with the protag)
Louis cursed the prince, killed the king, crashed the funeral, and trashed his legacy. He's got balls.
King's magic is too fair.
RIP Grius, you didn't deserve it.
Good lord that first cutscene provided so much context.
Johne don’t burn yourself out but also don’t worry about spoilers when it comes to stuff shown in the demo or the first dungeon.
Anyways you can also use the kings rock to evolve your Slowbro into slowking.
Playing alongside the series and Im just flabbergasted on how this game is amazing. Its so distinguished from anything Atlus has ever done. Im loving every second of it
Atlus:"we made a new game"
Us:"is it a spectacle?"
Atlus:"YES!"

16:20 Grius is definitely going to die.
Loving the game, Metaphor is awesome but dang is it heavy.
I'm playing for 4 hour stints then need a break just to let my brain cool down.
Fuck ton to take in.
Then I watch Johne video on my downtime.... XD
I am EATING up this series. I can’t wait to watch episode 5!!! I’d binge watch the entire thing if it was all released already 😭
22:29 maria sounds a lot like iris wilson from the great ace attorney... but i doubt it's the same VA, maybe all british children sound the same?
EDIT: maria is voiced by scarlet grace, iris is voiced by claire morgan... so all british children DO sound the same. huh.
She does have that iris vibe to her voice
Johne, I am grateful for all the content, but please don't burn yourself out: have a spectacular day, and God Bless you😇✝️
This is before i watched
Grius feels like one of those characters that will definitely die, like shinji or nikari/manabu from smt4A
I hope I'm wrong
Edit: god dammit
Wow that was kinda hype NGL
Like so interesting that the antagonist's actions have been fully rewarded
feels so strange in a good way
THE FISH IS THIS BIG is too good. happy to see more johneatlus
And this is were things get crazy..oh boy
Well that escalated quickly.
This Story keeps getting better
*GRIFFITH!*
Something small that I noticed:
Grius said that the reason people still support Louis is because he left no evidence that would implicate him of regicide. However, you can see the blood splattering on his clothes and face in the opening cutscene.
He would have had to change clothes and wash his face with some kind of wash cloth, and both that and his clothes would have had to be washed. I highly doubt someone of his status does his own laundry, so the person who does has some explaining to do...
or he may also very well have several allies infiltrated in the royal court who aided him in the assassination.
@matusaold7287 it did occur to me after making this comment that the one who does Louis' laundry is probably a zealous supporter of his, so they probably kept quiet about the mysterious stains on his clothes
I am sorry I was laughing the entire time that man was yapping 😭🤣
First...
I'm sorry... Madara? Majora's Mask?
Ariadne's Thread definitely isn't just a reference, because one of the DLC's is an Etrian Odyssey costume collection, which I am currently using.
If I'm not mistaken Ariadnes Thread was used in Greek mythology in the labyrinth.
@@weebangelist Yes, but it's also an item in the Etrian Odyssey series used to warp you out of the Labyrinth.
This is where things really get going. And really like the sort of SMT/Persona feel it has.
Your friendly reminder to leave a comment to help the algorithm
Why thank you yes I will 😁
Alright
will do
Nah, I won't
Wait, fuck, you got me. 💀
Indeed
When you see what Atlus can pull out in term of spectacle, i can't wait for them to pull their most impressive and groundbreaking artpiece yet : same-sex romances
But can't you do that in Unicorn Overlord? (I'm not spoiling anymore, I didn't complete the game😅)
@@pokomega idk, Unicorn Overlord is Vanilla Ware, not atlus itself
Fortunately there's no romance in this game. Just straight up supporting the protag and following his example
@@pokomega Nope. None of the male options are romantic. They feel like deals than relationships.
Man I love this series, can't wait for the next eps
Loved this!! ❤️❤️
Johne on da grind
To be fair, continuing the plan with a colossal magic rock head watching wasn't the best of the ideas
I commend the tenacity, but gosh dang, have some flexibility will'ya
I got a F1 ad when she revealed herself as Hulkenberg lol
Rip Grius, you were becoming my favorite 😢
I expect that there will be a lot of fan art of Fabienne.
I can't believe Grius got the Zephyr treatment....... THEY GAVE MARIA THE LAW TREATMENT!!!😱😱😱
Some folk have it so easy, don't even know how easy.
i just noticed that there were 2 elda near the protagonist at the cutscene. no white eyes/hair and no wings or tatoes on face. the man in green/blue at 39:13(front) 39:34(back) and the woman that shouts "look there".
Lets goooo episode 4
Love the series.
*{Yr 2; Day 120} of been impressed by P5R and waiting for P6.*
Finally at this part! I'm guessing that, at first, our protag is gonna act as a stand-in for the prince but later take the stage himself.
40:28 Man...I genuinely have nothing to say in defence. Dude's straight up a sociopath...
*[Episode Spoilers]* Well, what we expected happened. Come now, we literally didn't see Grius anywhere in the trailers so his death was emminent. I don't mind the obvious happening.

Let's go time!
We’re gunna make euchronia great again
4:54 Is there a possibility to tune down music volume a bit? Some compositions really loud and it's hard to hear dialogs in such segments
this is definitely not anything megaten related (story wise) its a new rpg. BUT, the UI is definitely partially designed by the same bunch who did reload LOL
hey @@JohneAwesome Better watchout another crew gonna help you aid prince life and awaken a new archtype try meet new bonds with someone
WE EATING GOOD
Are we going for another 2~3 episodes ride today again?
Cuz man, im totally into it if that is the case!
Don't worry about spamming, please do keep uploading the parts. Maybe just don't put spoilers in the thumbnail and title? I don't have time to play yet, so I'm actually relying on your playthrough!

Maria reminds me a bit of the protagonist of Ni No Kuni 2. She's not royalty(I think) but is a strong character
Finally😢
Hope everyone's doing well today
Hope you too are doing well today Christopher
I'm doing great myself, thank you!
@@Arcticanine I'm doing great
@@christopherarenas1115 Great to hear!
And every Poliwhirl and Slowpoke in the kingdom evolved at once.
It's a shame Grius went the classic way of the old mentor. Unfortunately very predictable and my first small complaint about the story.
This is where you will need the followers and supporters aka the social links to be the king
Gotta get that crown away from Louis
Something is wrong with this dude…..
How can this man imitate these guys voice so well even with gallica he imitates them thats some voice skills tbh
you should vote me as the next king
If it's triple uploads I don't mind it either
So whats the difference between persona and metaphor?
In the second one you fight the moon from majoras mask as soon as you form your starting party.
The story
Matters in which aspect you're talking about. They're both turn-based rpgs, by the same damn company so I don't understand your question...?
17:47
I haven't watched the episode, so, out of context, but is the title a pokemon reference?
just got to say loving it. but i got to ask can people have 2 different eyes colours in real life if so that be cool not see any my self but if you have i like to know please
It’s a real life thing called heterochromia
@@a_brodo3158 thank you for that have you seen it your self
David Bowie, a pretty famous musician in his day, had it.
My daughter has this in real life. She has 1 blue eye and one that is 3/4 hazel and 1/4 blue
@@ruthfaucett9739 really that's great
Maria ftw
I konw i sense deathflag from Grius
Sorry can't watch until i finish the game myself, thank you, love you byeeeeee.
Wait rly
