- Metaphor ReFantazio is the new RPG from the team behind Persona 5, and it looks awesome! Metaphor is clearly built atop the foundation laid by Persona, but it’s also doing its own thing. Let’s talk about why Metaphor: ReFantazio is going to be one of the best RPGs of 2024.

The plot twist, Makoto got "isekaied" after P3 ending. The Metaphor protag resembles him a lot.
lol there's definitely a resemblance!
More like the Emperor/King fake is death and is actually alive and is in cahoots with the world's Good to "Correct" humans. Typical Hashino plot lol
@@squalleonkeneddyheart4191 lol this is actually an excellent prediction!
@@mistandmako I swear if I nail this Imma screen shot this comment and posts this on Reddit and Twitter lol
@@squalleonkeneddyheart4191 Do it!!
I get the feeling that a main theme of the game is going to be, "The grass is always greener on the other side."
ooh interesting! That could be a cool thematic link between the game's fantasy world and the real world.
Meaning?
@@georgemeyers7172 Meaning that we spend a lot of time fantasizing about a fantasy world that's better than our own. Meanwhile, the people in this fantasy world are doing the same, fantasizing about our world. There will probably be some message of "fix the world you're in".
@@guruthosamarthruin4459 That would be a good message yes.
Out of all the announced games for this year, this game is my most anticipated game! I loved P5R and P4G, and I can't wait to see what they'll cook up in Metaphor! The story seems to be so wild and crazy, and the art of the game looks insane, like that Majora's Mask looking moon. And the combat, seemingly being both real time and turn based looks fun!
Great video! Excited to see what more you've got to say about Metaphor!
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the game when it comes out. Like you say, there's a lot of crazy ideas going on so I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
This is my most anticipated game of 2024. Can't wait for the release! Great video.
Thank you so much!
I'm so excited for this. The main character are voiced by my favourite seiyuus and the game itself are made by the big 3 of Atlus.
I feel the same way, it's gonna be amazing!
Strohl Giorno Giovanna and Hulkenberg Yor Forger? Sign me up lol
@@Amir-ih6jj And Heismay is voiced by the Japanese Solid Snake, so that's gonna be sick too
I really hope this does good then when persona next title takes forever to come out we will have this and vice versa. Persona 5 longggggggg wait killed me lol
@@dametreuspppp8734 Yeah I feel like Persona 6 is probably still a long way off so hopefully Metaphor can tide us over until it's finally ready
i've got to say im got this video recommended in my feed, click it watched it and enjoyed a amazing video and am now shocked it was made by someone with such low views and subs, amazing quality video keep up the good work:D
I appreciate the kind words, thank you so much!
Im hype for this with the persona calendar added to the rpg. The music, voice acting rtc looks amazing seeing this game a little bit ago i cant wait for more info
totally agree!
I am very excited now
fingers crossed it doesn't get delayed and we get to play it later this year!
This definitely has a lot of potential. I hadn't looked too hard into it since it is still a good ways off. But honestly I'm feeling pretty positive. Nothing like jumping into a pure fantasy setting. Yet they seem to be bringing some of the best elements of what they've built in the Persona series to this.
If they can really make both the action and turn-based elements work then this could be a pretty perfect game for people.
For sure! If they can successfully carry over those Persona elements into a new game with an interesting world and innovative combat, I think it could end up being really special. Obviously that’s a lot of ifs, but like you say the potential is there.
Well this seems to be the most impressive ATLUS game yet, I mean the graphics, style and gameplay, let’s hope they use this knowledge on P6 as well
I'm SO curious to find out what P6 is going to be like.
I'm unreasonably hyped for Re:Fantazio, and there's no where near enough content about it lol.
Something tells me there's going to be a lot of content about it when the game releases. If it's as good as I think it's going to be, a lot of people are gonna be talking about it.
I really enjoyed your vid, nice work
thank you very much!
Really looking foward to this game i also see video about the language and rune on this game it make me more hype to play this
it's gonna be awesome!
I love Persona 5 Royal and it was the first Persona game for me at the time, after about 144 hours it took for me to get it finished I played P4G and P3R!!!! My opinion about the time it takes to finish those games "Give me more of that" so that when I spent about 60 to 80 pounds I get something worth the money, so I would love to spent hours and hours (like the Persona series) through this new IP from Atlus!
That makes complete sense. Games are super expensive so you want to make sure you get your money's worth. Something tells me Metaphor's going to be worth the money (both in terms of quality and length)!
In regards to the idea that our world is thier fantasy world I think it's a commentary of how our ancestors who once thought that what we once thought was fantasy was a fact and the modern world would be like a fantasy for them: our modern technological, social, and medical advancements are things they probably never thought possible
That makes a lot of sense, I like it!
@@mistandmako O good, I was afraid my wording didn't make sense.
@@Wolf-bz6kq you did great!
It looks so good. I can't wait.
GOTY for me already, take my money.
There's a lot of strong contenders already this year, but yeah this could turn out to be the best of them all
@@mistandmako I mean I didn't get my money on anything else besides this (and P3R the answer) this year, maybe P3R hit me so hard that I'm addicted once again to Persona-like games. But this game looks like something I want to spend my limited money on, maybe Elden ring dlc if it comes out soon but for now, this is what it is.
@@user-om3pk8ts4j I've been really enjoying P3 Reload too. I didn't get to finish it before FF7 Rebirth came out, so I'll have to get back to it later but it's been great so far.
Peak graphic design
best in the biz!
So stoked for this game! Great job breaking it down and speculating on whats to come!
thank you! ❤
incredible video i love the way you speak and your points
Thank you so much!!
Smt and persona games never disappoint i have high expectations this time around
100% agree!
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Thankful goodness we’re getting more fantasy Atlas games 😃
I love the Sci-Fi/End of the World side of their games but this looks very promising!
It'll definitely be a breath of fresh air to see a fantasy world from this team!
great vid!
Thank you!! 🙏
Since you don't seem to be aware, the battle system here looks very similar to what's in "Trails Through Daybreak/Kuro no Kiseki".
oh cool, thanks for the info! I've never played any of the Trails games. Is it a mix of real-time and turn-based combat?
@@mistandmako Yeah, it's basically the exact same thing, which makes me assume that Metaphor ReFantazio got the idea from them.
@@guruthosamarthruin4459 Nice, that sounds pretty cool. I've seen comparisons between Trails and Persona, so it would be kind of funny to see the Persona team taking inspiration from Trails.
I'm cautiously exited but my Japanese still suck so I might save it for later
honestly playing a huge RPG like this in Japanese is probably a great way to practice your language skills. Unfortunately my Japanese is nonexistent so I'll be playing in English
I kind of hope its around 120 hours, i think if its tackling political ideas across different cultures fiction or not it should allow you to do so. Whether its something that requires multiple playthroughs or not i dont really care about as long as the ideas are explored in an engaging way
That's a good way to put it. The most important thing is that the game takes the time it needs to fully develop its ideas.
as someone who can never enjoy or get into anime or JRPGs this looks absolutely incredible.
i am a newly converted persona fan thanks to P3 reload being on game pass and i am fully sold on atlus' ability to appeal to even non-weebs like myself
the style and passion oozing from every screen including those damn menus 😍
also the idea of a fantasy world idealising modern day earth as a fantasy is a FIRE concept
i have a large library of atlus game to tide me over now too so i dont feel impatient waiting for this;
i currently plan on finishing P3 reload and then chasing that with P5R. i then plan on trying soul hackers 2 for a change of pace before playing P4G
i also purchased P3P as its the only other version of P3 available on xbox sadly or i would have tried FES first
its gonna be a great year for gaming in my house 😌👌
That's so awesome to hear! I wish I could play P5R for the first time again
@@mistandmako also i didnt realise i had played 1 atlus game before as a kid and it was trauma center on the DS lmao
very obscure game that i only ever saw in bargain bins that why i could afford it as a kid but it was actually great fun as i remember it
@@sneaky5141 oh nice! I've heard of Trauma Center but never played it
I mean, if you like P3R that much, you like JRPG's and anime. Its steeped so deeply in tropes of both, I think its impossible and you're being disingenuous. Its ok to admit this is your first experience with both. Your opinion is still valid without having played or watched others.
@@fenixchief7 were you microwaved as a baby?
I really hope that, once the game is out, that people stop comparing it to Persona, sure there are some similarities, but it has a different name for a reason. Aside from making the connections that everybody does, it's annoying and goes nowhere, and I am really just talking about the people who can't shut up about Persona being better anyway, all the games have its strengths and weaknesses, so does Persona.
I think it’s always going to be compared to Persona, at least by some people. It’s an easy comparison to make given the dev team and some of the gameplay similarities. I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with making comparisons as long as we also recognize the unique characteristics of each game. So hopefully once Metaphor comes out people will be able to appreciate what makes it special and different rather than just boiling it down to Persona comparisons.
@@mistandmako The usual comparisons that are made aren't a problem to me either, everyone is entitled to it anyway, I just hope that people don't turn it into something toxic. (wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately)
But this is exactly what I have been thinking, appreciating it for what it is, is very important! I am also very biased, since this my most anticipated game like.. ever..
Great video btw!
@@umbral9911 Thank you! Yeah unfortunately there's always someone who takes their criticism or comparisons too far and turn things toxic. That sucks, but I try to ignore that kind of conversation and just enjoy the things that I enjoy. I love Persona but I'm also super excited to see that team branching out and trying something new, so hopefully Metaphor ends up being something really excellent that can stand on its own.
@@mistandmakoI do like that attitude and I agree! The game looks like something that I always wanted ever since 2006/07, when I first played SMT3.
Back then I was wondering if there was a game that was like Final Fantasy 9 and SMT (basically a high fantasy SMT kinda) so this is like a dream come true for me.
@@umbral9911 That's awesome, I hope it lives up to your expectations!
If this game is successful, hopefully it leads to more high fantasy games from Atlus
Agreed! I love Persona's contemporary setting, but it's going to be super cool to see Atlus explore something different.
The length of the game is reliant on how long it takes to eliminate our corrupt political rivals since many are utilizing the tainted "ningen" or homo in English (the human enemies seen in the trailers), and discover that this "world" the novel describes in the 2017 teaser trailer is no utopia. Considering one of the key political rivals committed regicide in the beginning of the Dec. trailer and seems to have only, "How could he have done that?" as a repercussion. Basically, you're playing the 2024 elections, just killing goblins to make Euchronia great again.
Lol that’s a really interesting way to frame it! Taking down corrupt politicians feels like a logical continuation of Persona 5, so I’m excited to see how it all comes together.
5:25 Yes it is. Obviously exaggerated, but look at it from a presumably feudal society's standpoint.
Modern day Earth is a really damn nice place. Sure, economically most people are vastly different, but when you look at that within each country or region, the difference is not too bad at all.
Most rich people have twice or thrice the wealth of most poor people. Not a hundred thousand times. Sure, billionaires exist still, but it's a teeny tiny minority.
Everyone has access to a lot of comforts unimaginable to a pre-industrial society. Hell, salt used to be as valuable as gold, and now they're giving it out for free at fast food restaurants. And most people have access to-what is to a peasant's standards-an incredible education system.
And social equality is even more impressive. Even if you are the richest of the rich, you are not all that different from the people living paycheck-to-paycheck. You won't be beaten by the police for looking at Leonardo DiCaprio longer than 3 seconds, for example.
You can totally go to the same school as Oprah's kids, as long as you can afford it. And you don't have to use a different bathroom from what people of other races use.
That’s an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered. Older societies would look at all the progress we’ve made and be amazed by it. At the same time, for all the progress we’ve made things like war, racism, poverty etc are still ubiquitous in our modern society. If the story is going to be effective, I think Metaphor has to acknowledge that there’s no such thing as a perfect utopia and that there will always be work to be done in order to make the world a better place for everyone.
Very nice video
Thank you!!
Looks incredible/next gen. But makes me wonder how Persona 6 will look?
I’m super curious about Persona 6. With Hashino moving on to Metaphor, someone else will take over as director so I wonder if they’ll stick to the same formula that worked for the previous games or try a different direction.
Amazing UI
it's so pretty!
Why dont devs take in some of these modders to specifically do the stuff they dont want to like adding the female protagonist from persona 3. Itd be a way to make everyone happy
there's definitely a lot of modders out there making really cool stuff!
Fearing that an RPG might be too long is such a weird complain, but it fits perfectly into the tik took fried brain generation z with their low attention span.
Lol I'll be the first to admit I have a very short attention span. I struggle to make it through a movie or even an episode of TV without reaching for my phone, so video games are really the only form of visual entertainment that can hold my attention for a sustained period of time. That said, there's an art to making a game that lasts just long enough to effectively tell a story and develop mechanics to their fullest potential. I think a lot of games (even really good ones) don't get that balance right and end up dragging a bit, so that's all I meant.
P5 is 15 hours of content stretched over 80. If length isnt justified its not good
@@sexymajesco I agree that length needs to be justified, and I think P5 absolutely justifies its length. Between the social links, minigames/side activities, systems that continue to evolve throughout the game, and dungeons that are actually fun to explore (unlike previous games in the series) I think it does an excellent job of remaining exciting to play even dozens of hours in.
@@mistandmako thats the issue though the game isnt dozens of hours long.
I know its a hot take to think p5 is the worst modern one but we will see how the fans feel when they play any other game in the series, p3 reloads reception will be interesting to see
@@sexymajesco Personally I feel P5 is clearly superior to P3 and P4 in basically every way (and I really love P3 and P4), but not everyone is going to agree with that and that’s totally fine. I’m currently like 10 hours into P3 Reload and it’s great but I’m already bored of grinding through Tartarus.
honestly was hoping action side could be the whole game if you decide. i get the tactics part...just a bit tired of turn based...
I feel you. I have a lot of love in my heart for turn-based games but I do prefer action combat these days. Hopefully this can be a cool hybrid system that balances the best of both styles.
I played online games for most of my childhood, with rare single-players like CoD and Far Cry games. I have thousands upon thousands of hours in Siege, PUBG, CS GO, CS 1.6, HS, Dota 2 and many others, yet Atlus made offline games that captivated me for the first time ever. I liked socializing via gaming, as well as discovering new things about myself, akin to journey where I get to know real people. And Atlus gave a similar opportunity in an offline-package.
I started with P4G, moved on to P5R, Strikers and Catherine, and each of them conveyed the same emotional growth I got from my long competetive adventures. They are fun, stunning visually, unbelievably stylish, and most of all show us some of the best characters in media period. While the games Atlus makes are not perfect, I still expect no less from them in Metaphor.
By the way, amazing script, and the narration was on point.
I love this, thanks for sharing your story!
funny enough I'm in the same boat as you. 1.6, csgo, siege pubg even league it's rare for a single player game to captivate me but atlas is just to good
Hope the characters and pacing is more p3 and p4 rather then p5.
P5 treats you like a child with infinite free time.
What do you mean infinite free time? P5 puts the same time constraints on you that P3 and P4 do.
@@mistandmako p5 drags on, every dungeon feels 3 times longer then it needs to be. Every character over explains everything over and over so everything takes forever.
@@sexymajesco I love the dungeons in P5, I don’t think they overstay their welcome at all. The game is very dialogue heavy though, I’ll give you that.
I don't agree at all@@sexymajesco
>From the creators of Persona 3, 4,5
I'm not interested.
Not a Persona fan I take it?
Sorry but wishing a $60 game to be no longer than the staple of atlus is such a stupid fucking take...
Hey, thank you for taking the time to comment! P3, P4G, and SMT5 all took me roughly 70-80 hours to finish, so P5’s length (~120 hours) feels like an outlier compared to other Atlus games I’ve played. Like I said in the video, I absolutely love P5 so I’m not inherently against super long games. But if I had the choice, I’d rather have something a bit shorter. I think that 70-80 hours is plenty of time to tell a deep story and develop complex gameplay mechanics.
In regards to price, I think games justify their price tag with their quality, not their length. Resident Evil 2 Remake, for example, is maybe seven hours long on a first playthrough and it’s worth every penny I paid for it because it’s an excellent video game with tons of replay value.
I could make a game that is 200 hours long in a day. Would you give me $70 for it?
is the main character a girl or boy or?
He's a boy!
