The people complaining about the smt persona comparisons have to be brain dead. To sit there and act like this is some wholly unique, brand new, never seen before, style of game from Atlus is delusional behavior. It's the oddest thing for you all to be complaining about as both those games, and some of the other atlus games, have HEAVILY influenced this title.
@@Hornpep It's a tried and tested formula, expecting a completely new thing from Japanese is setting yourself up to disappointment... they're gonna use the same directors and composers until they're physically unable to direct or compose lmao... it's just how things work over there
"monstrous amalgamations that harken to our modern world" together with the name Metaphor, I'm going to go on a limb and speculate there will be a plot twist similar to the Digital Devil Saga series.
Does seem very comparable to Elden Ring, but a big success from Atlus still might not be at the same level as Elden Ring. From Software has a much better track record in general while a lot of recent Atlus games have not been very well made.
The director of the games has directed SMT and Persona games. Ofcourse its going to has influences of both titles. They even have a calendar mechanic and weakness system in the game. The mech/class mechanic looks super tight though
This is some of the best work ever seen, it’s a good example of the essence of persona taken to a completely new and unique type of world story and characters. 100/100
Really looking forward to this one! Hopefully side activities and stats are not as overwhelming as P5R. It's always great to have content and options, but sometimes it makes it a chore.
It is getting annoying. Let people complain and don’t complain about them complaining. It’s called freedom of speech not “stop complaining”. It’s their opinion
@@Cato_Sicarius_66 wtf do you mean they aren't doing those. Based on what? P5 has a definitive version, SMTV has a definitive version, Persona 3 has The Answer as a separate DLC and will probably get a definitive version soon. Based on ALL of their recent games, they still do definitive versions. So what do you mean they aren't doing those? HUH?
@@fearlessAx In an interview not that long ago Atlus themselves said that SMTVV would be their last “definitive edition”. You can research about it yourself.
Does it really matter, we know what we are getting into ffs. If people want to wait then go ahead or don't buy it... Day 1 for me every day of the week and I'll buy expansions too if they go down that line.
Agreed that it's nice to have something different. The classroom aspect of Persona was always so slow and annoying for me. Also was pleasantly surprised and thankful for the demo. It hooked me. Ww need to bring back demos again
Judging off what I’ve seen and heard, it looks like press turns. It’s definitely more like SMT, people are in the right to be annoyed by the persona comparisons.
No, they aren’t. SMT doesn’t have the calendar, which this has. It’s literally an exact blend of both games. You people are genuinely braindead. ONE SINGLE combat mechanic borrowed from SMT doesn’t negate all of its blatant Persona influence. 😂
Sounds like this preview is very much like the opening of P3/4/5 where it starts off slow to show different mechanics and building the plot EDIT: played the demo and yes it’s very slow ( more than persona ) because it’s building a fantasy world
@@gamerforlife3946 “You are talking to USA logic” The irony of saying something this stupid while insulting American people’s intelligence is hilarious.
This does look interesting but I’m very disappointed in the main character’s design it’s so boring and just looks like a mix of the SMT 5 main character and Marth from Fire Emblem
yes the game is very similar to previous games of the persona studios but what game franchise isnt an evolution of the previous game, of cause its similar.

Atlus: Carefully blends the best elements of mainline Shin Megami Tensei and some of Persona IGN: Persona, persona, persona and Persona have we mentioned Persona already?
It looks too Persona imo. Do you recommend this game to a person who's more into SMT than Persona? The society structure and flaws reminds me of Shin Megami Tensei IV and the music reminds me of Strange Journey, at least.
what are you yapping about, what you expect out of 55+ of their megaten games since the 1980s to be completely different and unique? All game franchises are the same lmfao, delusional mf. Besides they actually made this game differently, since the combat and “archetype” system functions COMPLETELY different from any megaten/persona game. People really just want to find ANY reason to hate, rent-free.
Game reviewers should NOT be comparing a game to other, similar games by the same developer that a ton of people have played and may use as a point of reference
This kind of comment really says alot about you because you don’t understand there’s a difference between world issue politics and american spectrum politics
what are the odds of seeing Jack Frost in this game?
If he's not at least a background element I'm going to be so sad
Hee ho
low, but never zero
The very very first announcement like 8 years ago that had no info at all (that appears to be this game) showed up in it, so maybe
Yes

This is a very common issue, all the studios do this, from Farmasoft to Capcom and even Sony studios

Didn't seem like a criticism necessarily.

you guys truly dont get how this works do you
The Persona of fantasy JRPGs.
Persona itself is fantasy. What you mean is that it's not the usual urban fantasy, but leaning towards epic fantasy.
The only thing that makes me think twice on playing this one is that in a year there will be a better version at full price
thats not happening anymore. atlus said they wont be doing that
proof?
@@AyaanZazgoogle it. but they said it about p3 remake so we can't be sure about metaphor
@@CraftGameMega p3 remake literally got dlc, so they were right lol
@@AyaanZazPersona 3 reload gets the royal treatment without buying the full game.
They release + content as dlc.
Atlus cooking this year fr. Cant wait for this after p3 reload and smt5 vengeance
the art design of this game is just outstanding. That might be 10/10

Ty for comparing it with Persona, it made it easier for me to understand how the game works.
Definitely getting it!
It’s made by the company of persona 😊
THIS GAME LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AS A PERSONA FAN IM GONNA CRY HAPPY TEARS… first persona 3 reload now this :D we are eating waiting for persona 6
This will be for Atlus what Elden Ring was for Fromsoft. A magnum opus of all their work. GOTY.
lol No
relax
Sekiro, BB and DS1 are all better than Elden Ring anyways

what do you mean. people love fictional politcs.
Metaphor is a metaphor.
Yes there’s a lot of Persona influence but there’s also a lot of Digital Devil Saga influence with skill trees, evolving skills and so on.
Really looking forward to this one! Hopefully side activities and stats are not as overwhelming as P5R. It's always great to have content and options, but sometimes it makes it a chore.
The VA from HSR is the the MA!! He’s going places!!
try to review atlus game without mentioning persona ( impossible challenge )
The other games they made aren't even worth mentioning....
Yeah, like can you review Fromsoftware game without mentioning Dark Souls
It’s the same genre with a similar style and made by the same people. You’re a delusional weaboo
Atlust literally calls out persona’s influence in their marketing for this game. They want the comparisons lmao
This is literally the Persona devs you absolute brainless moron.
just a reminder that persona 6 will be announced some time after this game is released
Tga announcement

It wont.
They will only be doing DLC from P3R onward

Oh man I'm gonna fking love this game
Marth meets SMT.
Can’t wait to play this !
They need to hire someone to title/name their games better..
This is on par with Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo
Would love to play this, great we have a Demo too.....
Be even BETTER if rhe framerate didnt tank for no reason whatsoever 🧐

So excited!
Just pre ordered it
This game is certainly a artistic masterpiece comparable by none 😅
This game it a gem. Another Goty candidate.
But does it have the heart of Persona 5, is what we’re all wondering 🤔
Are u stupid
the combat reminds me of trails through daybreak
So many good games coming out
But will it run on Steam Deck?

day1. looks much better than dragon age but the name is just bad for marketing😅
is the 33 expedition is follow metaphor? seems both games similar
Metaphor probably will be much better
This game or Dragon Age Veilguard? There's also POE 2.
Strong Candidate To Goty
Persona /smt/fire emblem im pretty happy with that
The smt x fire emblem we deserved 😅
This to me looks like 17th century so not medieval but early modern, medieval would’ve been cut off at the early 1500s
Can we appreciate, for a minute, Japan's unfailingly terrible game names?
