Atlus' UI designers need a raise and a promotion. I want everything to be designed by these people
Yes, I too like over-designed UI elements that make it as hard to see the relevant information I'm actually looking for as possible. Just blind me every time I hit the menu button, please.

“Terrifying monsters called humans will stand in your way.” Damn, relatable!
Homie did you really just spell the word damn like lamb lmao
@@kentaronagame7529 Yeah… I’m dyslexic
Especially the USA tribe that takes your creations and destroys them in translation putting refs to their political agenda and even changing characters and censoring every thing 🙄
Well humans are top apex on earth, should be feared
@@kentaronagame7529 I mean.. the keys are close on the keyboard.
The fact that it's canon the in game music is just all in the protagonists head
The game clearly has a meta element to it. Starting with the title Metaphor but also looking at the name selection screen, where we're not choosing the protagonist's name but the name of the he who will GUIDE the protagonist. The game separates the protagonist and the player into two entities.
@@FuzzyDlop yeah I really like what they are doing I’m really excited by the themes of the game
finally, a protagonist that's just like me frfr
@@FuzzyDlopmore games need to do this. Tired of self inserts. We need more Fire Emblem Mark's but with even less story relevance.
I'm so obsessed with that fact fr.
Tbh... kinda relatable, the music from this game has been playing on loop in my head for days, i can't get rid of it. It's such a common occurrence to just have music stuck in your head.
I love how they properly introduce and credit everyone's art in this. More companies need to do this. Unironically thanks Atlus, 200% hyped for this.
Well, they're doing it largely because it's a big source of pride to work with said artists, and it's a selling point for a lot of people
Waaa waaa
They can't credit AI. Well, they could, but it usually ends up being counterproductive to marketing their games.
Yes yes credit everyone and change gaming like p5 did

Love that when the british voice actors talked everyone started to type xenoblade
Apparently, to those twats Xenoblade is the only IP with British voice actors. What mugs, lmao

The Zohar created the Brits, as they say.

this game is a really good example of how much great visual design can really change how something feels. When you actually look at it, this game shares all its menu stuff with Persona 5, Persona 3 Reload, and other Atlus games. Despite that, the visual design they used make it feel like its own thing, and it looks incredible. Purely through interesting and focused visual design, Atlus has not only been able to reuse the same menu system for a decade, but continually make it jaw-dropping everytime in every game!
They did the same thing Soul Hackers 2. I feel like they started the crazy UI thing in Persona 4 Arena.
Atlus did it. Gamers can finally take baths
GOTY
lol that was such a weird and hilarious thing to end on.
"One more thing, before we go... Take a bath, nerds."
We've been taking baths since Suikoden 1 on PS1.

Keep telling yourself that
These guys are so direct when it comes to talking about the game. They convey a lot of confidence
Atlus is on fire, P3R, SMT5 Vengeance, and now this.... gimme more!
Dont forget unicorn overlord
UO was Vanillaware, atlus just published it
@@sweetonion5100 I know that but still under atlus name so I say it partly an atlus game.
And p6…
@@Barbodcole That's next year, but even still they have unstoppable momentum right now
At around 21:40 you can hear those five notes that are present in every persona game's OST at some point since P2. Game looks absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait!
Damnnn you’re right, that’s awesome
oh you're right !!
This OST is giving me Strange Journey vibes for sure
Fear of God-- KING!
I’m almost convinced they’re using the same midi sound library thing for the strings
@@ghostflask Some of it's actually gonna be orchestrated too! They showed that in the previous preview lol
I'm pretty sure this is Emi Evans I'm hearing! She and her studio did the music for the NeiR games and if that's the case here then we are in for a banger ost!
@@zacharymartel5592 why would u just guess it’s a composer you’ve heard when google exists
No demon summoning etc but we still get a "pixie" as starter companion.😅
Notice there are magic terms like the ones on Megaten: mudo, tarukaja, sukukaja, etc
They got a little for everyone, catherine style for some characters, open world mechanics, persona type companion able to use abilities type of sh!t.
They bout to drop the best looking game they've created yet and I'm ready to throw even 100 bucks if needed
It not open world but it gonna have large zones @@user-zl1vf4me1p
@@puzzle_boyyeah, the game is still megaten
@@puzzle_boy There's even sound effects from previous Persona games
The art direction is just breathtaking.
22:59 I liked how the protagonist waved his party to follow him. I love small details in games.
So it's Persona with the road trip vibe of FF15, the mix of real time and turn based combat of Kuro no Kiseki with press turn which you know will be great, and a super cool fantasy steampunk narrative. And above all else, the protagonist ACTUALLY SPEAKS. This is genuinely looking like Atlus's best game ever
does the protag speak? i didnt catch that
but not a boyband this time
So reductive to just call it Persona
@@lemonlime8949did you only read the first three words of this comment?

I really love the attention to detail and focus on travel. I love the idea of going to new towns, meeting new people, trying new foods etc. as well as spending time on the ship between new places. Love the music and themes, and how there is a party member from every tribe! Atlus doesn't miss. Day 1 collector's edition buy, EASIEST DECISON OF MY LIFE.

@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse Also Granblue Fantasy Relink and Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse And the character action game, too. Stellar Blade, Wukong coming this year, and Lost Soul Aside just got rated so that's probably very soon, too
YES. Late, but I'm currently predicting 4 (or 5) nominees from the genre for The Game Awards' Game of the Year: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Metaphor, FFVII Rebirth, P3 Reload and, if it counts, Unicorn Overlord.
Looking Cool, Atlus!
Shin Megami Tensei - Post apocalyptic Future
Persona - Present
Metaphor - Fantasy Past.
Love it.
I'm hoping they turn this into a series like smt/persona
@@chillfenrir6050 Seems like the kind of thing you can only do once, the game is cenetered around the election plot so a sequel would just be reusing the world, unless Metaphor becomes the name for Persona-esque fantasy series with no connection between entries.
Hashino back with newest peak.
Yep, dude keeps delivering every single time.
METAPHOR SHOWCASE 😭😭THE HYPE IS SO REAL GUYS
and the protagonist is speaking i am so excited (who's Will? lol)
I WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT. This game looks incredible
Atlus is on fire lately! Give all of their staffs a raise please! I haven't even finished P3 Reload.
Be patient on Reload Royal Remake Refresh R infinite versionssss.
They got The Answer dropping late summer, SMT V Vengeance, and this. Def on fire lately
Atlus is cooking on all fronts: A combination of the mainline persona allstar devs with some outsourced legends, a totally new direction with the same / better level of Quality we've come to expect from previous projects, and a spin on the classical tale will make this a must play and possibly be the third pillar atlus has been trying so hard to make
Yo them turning into the heroes reminds me of Digital Devil Saga. Those games were amazing. I'm sold
Keep telling yourself that idiot
This project is breathtakingly beautiful and unique. I have tons of respect for the dedication, vision, and talent that has been poured into this game. A sight to behold. Go Atlus go!
Thank you Atlus.
So this is basically Atlus : The videogame.
This game LOOKS INCREDIBLE. The mechanics, the different towns, the exploration... the variety of different artists and designers... I like this game. And the soundtrack is PEAK.
The art style and music is absolutely amazing.
looks promising, dev's vision is ambitious but they are hitting the marks, square enix needs this kind of passion
Yea

This looks like it's going to be peak!

@@argent8758 wtf?
It's atlus, all they know is peak
Damn, UA-cam compression really kills the look of this game's visuals.
You basically need to upload in 4k to even get close to native 1080p quality, and even then it's still not as good as a basic 1080p Blu-ray.
Yeah it's partially because this was a premiere video (the 3 min trailer they uploaded later looks much better)
Still, YT could really afford to do better with their encoding
@@Zxanonblade Yeah this would have looked way better if it premiered on Twitch. UA-cam is such a pain to deal with.
@@tbnwontpop8857 Does Twitch have better encoding? I don't use it often so not super familiar with it

So sick to hear maya's theme on this
@@WOLFCRAFTZ That's not Maya's theme, that motif doesn't even play in Maya's theme anywhere, it plays once in a piano version of Maya's theme
@@thirdeye440 I just didnt want to say the name of the track because its a spoiler of what happen, but i do know its not "maya's theme"
Every time I see this game it just gets better and better, wasn't interested at first but I am FULLY sold now. My main concern was a lack of true Atlus love and passion but this has just proven me dead wrong, the love behind this looks truly astonishing. Cant wait for the end of the year aa a aa a aah hh h h
Looking forward to the complete edition next year.
😂😂
Just freaking WONDERFUL - proud of those artists being able to enjoy and benefit from their skills. If I could, i would have went this way and stayed away from corporate!
Genuinely think this could be a Crono Trigger like experience. Timeless and generational.
I dont get why everyone compares every rpg to chrono trigger. It may have been the first to do a lot of things but other games have done everything it did but better.
@@fotuto13Radiant Historia did time travel better and is an all around better Jrpg and that's just ONE example. Boomer gamers -_-
@@Cyzureoh wow a game that came out nearly 20 years after another game is better than said game in many aspects. how did you ever figure that one out.
people love older games not because they did anything better by todays standards but because they revolutionary for its time. i know there are games better than earthbound, i still love earthbound and recognize its an extremely important rpg.
@@fotuto13
Because while there are many games that have done elements of CT better than CT, it's still hard to think of jrpgs who've done all of them combined as well as CT.
What makes CT such an impressive game is that - unlike the vast majority of jrpgs(that might have good combat but an underwhelming story or vice versa, good music but boring art or vice versa, or decent opening but weak second half etc - it's consistently above average along every conceivable metric.
So no, there isn't many - if any - jrpgs that measure neatly up to it.
(And that especially goes for Atlus rpgs, that regularly are bloated monstrosities with terrible pacing that wouldn't recognize writerly principles like Chekhov's gun even if they got shot in the face with it)
Calm down Chrono triggers aight.
Loving art style and UI.
I love the way they approach abstracting game mechanics into their world and into the perspective of their main characters. They can have a silent protagonist but make them feel so much meaningful to the player just by making the world be dictated by the player’s experience. They really understand what separates games from other art forms and squeeze every bit of game-ness from their work and this game looks like they’re taking that sentiment in earnest. Awesome stuff!!!❤️
I love the art style of this new IP, I’m looking forward to get my hands on it later this year 😻
I like that the MC has blue hair. Feel like that's a fire emblem nod
I hope we can get a list of all the amazing artists from the major ones (character designers, etc) down to the rest of the programmers, artists who did the in-game details and such.
I'm getting sick of seeing some people saying in social media that this game has AI incorporated in it. No AI could have brought such artistic galore that they had showcased this to the audience. It's brimming with life and passion throughout this showcase.
I agree so heavily with this
what ?? people are saying that this game uses AI ? literally how ? that's just fearmongering now, people are getting paranoid.
but yes i do agree that i'd love to see the names of the people who've worked on this game featured anywhere other than the ending credits !
@@corruptedteka Apparently, I read some of their reactions on the UI/Menu graphics where the visual has that overlay, shaky effects. It reminded them what it is like when you generate animation using AI.
Honestly, I think that is just the artistic approach for the menu visuals. It gave a classic, sketchy feeling. That painting-palette choice of colours and lineart goes well with the overall fantasy vibe of the game.

Jesus they werent lying when they said they were working with a load of skilled artists. It feels like one big name after the next. Maybe it's selfish to ask but I'd like to see the work of some of the smaller artists highlighted. Like who worked on the logo? It's really good.
Thank you Atlus for all your masterpieces. Keep it up!!
This has been my most anticipated game for this year since it was announced. I’m unbelievably excited to play Metaphor and experience the world you have created for us! Thank you for sharing this showcase, Altus!
Been waiting for this. Day one. Anything that has persona type bonds etc really interests me. As well as the world.. this is going to be insane!
The game gonna be peak fiction for sure
I love how off the wall and distinct the music is already
This game is pure art, from the character designs to the locations to the gorgeous UI. I'm absolutely drooling looking at this game
“By confronting their anxiety” definitely a 2024 game 😂
Thats kinda always been atlus's style though, any persona game should be a indication
@@xman011101 yeah I know, it’s just funny. Facing your anxiety 😅
@@austintaylor5683 that's just everyday life for some of us, though, since well before this year ! don't think it's a game that was made with 2024's situation in mind ( how could they have known ? ) but you're right that it does tackle a lot of relevant feelings !
@@corruptedteka we all go through and have some form of anxiety. Some of us just cry about it a little more than others.
@@austintaylor5683 Wow. I'm not even gonna bother replying to that. Yikes.
Looks like an awesome experience. That UI ! Oh my God, it's soo beautiful 😍
I feel like this was the vision of peak Megaten that Atlus developers had for so long. Plus, in my head, it does fit in the Megaten universe canon, which I can get behind.
It probably will be connected to MegaTen in some way. Even Catherine is implied to be connected.
Kinda *everything* fits the SMT canon tbf, as SMT3 showed the mutiple universes constantly being destroyed and reborn; Persona protagonists just happen to avert the end every time; while in SMT it always goes to shit at the very beginning 😅
I presume Metaphor will fit right in there somewhere
@@EinFelsbrocken I guess, but I specifically mean at the end of SMT5. Since YHVH doesn't exist in this universe, and humans are the "demons" of this universe, it's possible through the Mandala System, the remains of the world the Nahobino left behind or is now in control of is this world. Presumably, Nahobino sits on the throne of Creation as this is happening.
This looks so good!👏🏻👏🏻
#1 most anticipated game for me
Absolutely oozing of Class & Style.. Look forward to the demo in June!
This is now my most anticipated game this year
Oh sweet. Releases a day before my birthday. Next October couldn't get any better.
October birthday celebrators (like also me) will eat good.
Day after mine, we eating bruh
And one day after mine. Easiest birthday gift ever lmao
We have the same birthday.
I am absolutely not an october kid, but congratulations !!!
This is so meta for god's sake, I'm already fantasizing about diving into the vast world of this game!!
I’ll need to watch this one in full, looks incredible
Atlus is one of the most legendary game publishers I swear
Tf was that last scene. Bathing confirmed, I guess 😂
UI designers sure deserve all the credit they’re getting. but can we also appreciate shigenori soejimas character designs? i feel like without him, this game and persona simply wouldn’t be the same.
This game is really letting his style shine, and I love it !
Looks even better everytime we get another look
This is gonna be AMAZING!!
Atlus October 11th it's my birthday. Definitely checking this game out cuz I'm a huge fan of the persona series. ♥️
man im jealous asf. Hope you enjoy the game bro. Im so hyped
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse same my 24th birthday we get metaphor also love persona but I also love squirting next games like Kingdom hearts Final Fantasy Drakengard and Nier and more. And looking forward to seeing what this game is about.
It is the day before my birthday.
@@HALberdier17 Nice
this is shaping to be my GOTY of 2024
Suicide Squad is 2024 GOTY
Damn, can’t get more excited
Hell yes, this is a really great year for RPGs. Like overloaded with RPGs, it's truly amazing. Although I was hoping they'd finally have a voiced protag this time around, ah well.
No one gonna talk about the music? It's soooo good
I'm going out of my way to replay certain parts of this just to hear the music lol. I can't believe what the basic battle theme is and can't wait to hear some of the actual boss music.
Looking forward to Shoji Meguro's new works!
The music goes so hard.

Thank you John Atlus.
This game is honestly a dream. I'm in awe.
I am incredibly hopeful this game does well, it’s clear that a lot of heart was put into it
peak gameplay right here lads!
if there's one game that will challenge Unicorn Overlord for GOTY for me (that I'm not blindsided by) it's gonna be Metaphor. Thank you based Atlus for putting the game on xbox so I can play your glorious games on my favorite system
It's wild that Atlus can have two games competing with each other for GOTY. You know you're winning when you can say that, lol.
@@DeeAyeOh85 Also Persona 3 Reload, it may be a remake, but it's up there as one of my personal contenders for GOTY
We’ll see. Too early to mention GOTY without even playing it yet
@@DeeAyeOh85 yeah plus P3R and SMTVV. Atlus really killing it this year
I mean, good for you but Unicorn Overlord became a definition of snoozefest after you set 2 regions free. Terrible main story and characters didn't help at all as well.
OMG What did I just watch!? I'm speachless, breathless, and restless-ly waiting for it. And it's comming to PCs via Steam!
I cant wait to fully watch this when I can
I'm getting some big "HEY LISTEN" vibes from that fairy companion. Please tread carefully Atlas.
Bet there's at least $30 of day 1 DLC and an expansion pass announced.
Which is why you don’t buy Atlus or Sega games day 1
Sounds great to me. Whatever helps this game be profitable im down for.
nice
Probably, but it's not like the base game won't be worth it.
Weren't you the same guy that SWORE that Atlus was planning from the very beginning to sell FES expansion as a standalone $35 DLC and separate it from P3R despite it being already finished a while ago or something? Even though it turned out that the FES Episode Aigis expansion was only greenlit and only started development after P3R was revealed last June, hence why it wasn't in the base game?
Sure, you don't need to like them being greedy, but you also don't need to lie to yourself and convince yourself that the worst reasoning possible is always the correct one. You'll only believe what you want to believe, it seems.
I don't know what vendetta you have against Atlus and why you keep stalking their channel if you hate their games so much, but I hate to break it to you, this game looks great and it will most likely have enough quality content in it to justify the price tag without spending a dime on whatever DLC they'll likely have.
It looks and sounds so good.
The one game I'm looking forward to the most in 2024. CANNOT wait
How long do we have to wait for the "Complete Edition" re release
Can't wait to play this in my Playstation 5
Agreed
@@lelongbashi lol I'll play it on my Xbox
Loving the real time combat/turn based mix! I’ve always wished you could combo enemies in some way before initiating combat. So awesome to see
even with the similarities to persona, this is the most unique game design ive ever seen!
The funniest joke they could make would be having a title called Metaphor, and then having absolutely no underlying themes. It's just played completely straight
this shit better no be over 120 hours long if it is no cop
This looks incredible OMG! Gonna grab the collector edition for sure
This is a fantastic video, that shows a work of art that's more and more rare in 2024. You sold me a collector's edition already
It's like Persona and Xenoblade had a love child. Amazing genetics right there.
Metapeak incoming
I really like the combat system!!! I'm looking forward to this!!! And the UI is EMMACULATE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
My most anticipated game of 2024
Man if Metaphor looks this fucking amazing, I can't even imagine what Persona 6 is going to look like..
Well...this is the traditional persona team. So new people are working on persona...
@ChicCanyon I had heard the team that did royal is in P6 now. I loved what they did with Royal so I think its in great hands
@@SaintJoseph911 If that's true, we're definitely in good hands. I remember thinking Royal wasnt gonna be worth the buy after like 300 hours into vanilla P5, but I was pleasantly surprised by how many quality of life improvements and new features/scenes/etc. Really made it feel complete when I never thought it was missing anything in the first place. Also, that card game is fun as hell
@SaintJoseph911 we really have no clue. Royal was a touch up job. They werent designing complex systems they were modifying ones already in place. They were creating a cast of characters of 100hr plots.
Metaphor looks great. It has a proven team. Persona has a brand. We'll see what that shakes into. But objectively its uncharted territory. Just like going into p3 it was a new team with new ideas.
That played out for the best, clearly. Hopefully that happens twice. The point is this looks good because this is the game the persona team we know and love made after persona 5.
isnt this game all new developers and its just the veterans as directors overseeing it? like from what i remember seeing about this game when it was Project Re Fantasy it was almost like a test for the new team
