This might be the best Atlus rpg ever. Vengeance combat is slightly better... but 20 hours in and the way they join smt press turn, classic fantasy, original ideas and the Persona time management/social elements has been fantastic. Story, combat, difficulty, characters, art direction, music and THE WORLD. All have exceeded expectations.
This game is genuinely so sick already, and i haven't even finished the video. The characters look sick, the battles look fun, THE MAIN CHARACTER TALKS. I am SO excited to see you play more!!
Who the hell is this annoying youtuber. Keeps interrupting the dialogue with his own dialogue like ppl want to hear what he has to say. Talk when there is no dialogue in game. Its like that annoying person that talks constantly while watching a movie
@@Madeen1982 oh yeah that's definitely does seem like the Xenoblade of Atlas. Xenoblade was also a culmination of a lot of monolithsofts other titles so it's poetic really.
I immediately recognized Adam Howden (Shulk's VA) as Strohl Edit: ok so I was incorrect. Stewart Clarke (who plays Dion in FFXVI) plays Strohl. Adam Howden is still in this game as a character we meet later, though
1:09:22 didn't catch it when I played through but Strohl did a Peter Griffin impression I'm really glad you convinced me to play the demo of this game, it's been a blast so far. Only 12 hours in rn, since work has me tied up
Between the demo and the 16 hours I have. Im 25ish hours deep and around level 30. I think im 1/3 through the game at this time. It's without a doubt not only Atlus's best game they've released, not only the best RPG (Not even going to add the J, this things beats all RPG's i've played so far too besides JRPG's), but best Voice Acting/Characters/Cut-scenes/Story. This game does not pull punches on the horrors and sadness that happens in the daily lives if this Fantasy world was as real as ours. Homelessness after disaster, Slavery, Racism between the 8 tribes, and Children dying I've seen in just those 25ish hours. Full Gas, No brakes.
True. This is why I am loving the game so much. 17 hours in, and I am attached to the characters already. They really shaped up everything well for you to be engaged in the story. I hope it does until the end.
I guess I am a bit slow because I am 16 hours late and there are already 3 episodes XD That owl human thingy got SUCH a great design my lord. Atlus really cooked with the design of practically the first boss even though they didn't have to. I can tell they put love into this game.
Asking deep questions at the start... I think I like it. Gallica reminds me of Yukari for some reason. Egg like monster reminds me of the RyuRan Yu-Gi-Oh card. MC's awakening was METAL.
1:03:17 So let me get this straight. God says "hey i like this kid". Then you take your heart... literally. Then you play Minecraft. Then you cocoon into Yoshimitsu from Tekken.
First. Alright!!! Time to see what Atlus has been cooking up for... a few years decade apparently? This new Atlus title's debut... Can't wait for that IGN review. What game journalist will say. Lol. The Non-Persona, Megaten game.
*{Yr 2; Day 119} of been impressed by P5R and waiting for P6.* "I'M GONNA BUS***" Weird sh*t aside, REALLY REALLY looking forward to this series and the triple upload just makes that excitement surge up even more! TIME FOR Dynasty Warriors Anime Style! I just watched the into cutscene after noticing its not here, weird but I guess the cutscene is just an introduction towards the differences between the Haves and Haves Not and the Killing of the King by the Prince's hand. Lastly the question of who shall rule the kingdom. 7:13 WHAT?! HE CAN TALK?!! EVEN IN NON-CUTSCENES?!!! 9:27 The Protag is so damn derpy, I love him... 10:23 THAT'S THE FIRST AREA THEME?! MY GOD!!! 26:30 Didnt mention it before but these 1 minute introductions really do these guys justice. The red-haired elf, Hulkenburg was it? And now Strohl I think? 1:02:25 *WARNING:* Absolute Body Horror Visuals Ahead...
Dang you just don't stop commenting, don't you? Keep it up man, I always look forward to seeing you in almost every one of Johne's recent video comment sections (well hopefully even after P6 gets released), anyways, this is prob too personal, sowwies.
@@BlameSnowy Appreciate the reply man, no need to hold back on doing so even if its just as a random comment! I've been watching Johne for nearly a decade now, but I only recently started with this Days Count back when P5S came out. I was planning to end it when either P6 gets announced or when Johne uploads his first episode of P6 playthrough. Prolly gonna be the later. Even then, I ain't planning on stopping from commenting until I physically can't xD. Hoping to see you do the same as well!
Gotta say, I much prefer this style of making videos. Much more so than your Persona 5 let's play for example. Mainly because I am here for you and your commentary. I really loved your Fire Emblem and Somnium Files playthroughs for that reason.
So excited for this one, if you are too don't forget to show your support by hitting the LIKE button, more videos coming soon!
I was not expecting face cam for this one tbh
I know your secret 🧐
I think you'll love Honkai Star Rail cause he's also voiced by this game's MC
already did lol
HELL YEAH!
when a *_Digital Devil Saga_* and a *_Persona_* love each other very much...
And they add Esperanto to the mix!
Lmao 😂 very very much. A beautiful baby is born

And the resulting baby gets raised by opera singers
This game is genuinely so sick already, and i haven't even finished the video. The characters look sick, the battles look fun, THE MAIN CHARACTER TALKS. I am SO excited to see you play more!!
I'm ready to see John Metaphor in action
Who the hell is this annoying youtuber. Keeps interrupting the dialogue with his own dialogue like ppl want to hear what he has to say. Talk when there is no dialogue in game. Its like that annoying person that talks constantly while watching a movie
He's back with a SMTV Vengeance
"Who's gonna specialize in agility, come on?!"
Every Fire Emblem Avatar, whose best boon is most often Speed/Dexterity:
Given that this is Johne's most anticipated game of the year, I'm not surprised we're getting a playthrough😊
I figured he would’ve dipped until he finished the game tbh.
wow, the soundtrack is so gorgeous the first few minutes of this games ost made me cry.
this really Metaphors my Fantazio
Came in blind to this game. Only thing I saw was the reveal trailer all the way back when it came out. The Human reveal made me gasp aloud in my room.
First voice you hear is Greg Chun? Game's already won me over.
Gotta love the MC impersonation. Bro low-key sounds like a galactic baseballing trash racoon
I will take that as a compliment
Lmao I understood that reference
Bro sounds like a lion dancer who uses fire to fight.
Another day, another series Mr. Awesome has introduced to me.
I love the Xenoblade Chronicles vibe. You can't miss with that.
@@Madeen1982 oh yeah that's definitely does seem like the Xenoblade of Atlas. Xenoblade was also a culmination of a lot of monolithsofts other titles so it's poetic really.

@@smartalecl4 I'll say, it's so hard NOT to hear an older Shulk in that one character. It's so striking haha.
Let’s be honest we were all waiting for this
The author/narrator got Isekai'd good to know
1:09:22 didn't catch it when I played through but Strohl did a Peter Griffin impression
I'm really glad you convinced me to play the demo of this game, it's been a blast so far. Only 12 hours in rn, since work has me tied up
we got the 1st battle after 50min...great one :)
Biblically accurate human: 50:13
This is comedy gold
55:02 I was wondering why they added voice acting to this particular guard. Until I realised it was Johne's impeccable voice acting
LESSSS GO OUR BOY JOHNE IS PLAYING metaphor!!!
peaktaphor peakfantazio
with johne "long nose" awesome
A beginning of a journey
Johne must be loving on the highest Florida mountain to upload this on time. Glad you are safe
It’s on my wishlist whenever I get money, but when I do! First on the bucket list I promise you all.
Can’t wait for my physical copy to come in
Gives me a mix of Persona and Xenoblade Vibes with the Aussie/British accents
Culmination of Persona, SMT, DDS, and even Etrian Odyssey
Johne is a light for the people who don't wanna spend 70 bucks just yet lol
I cant wait to play it myself ): will watch more when I get to it

I am ready to Metaphor all over the place
Yey!
Knee deep in work right now but I promise to watch this the moment I'm done!
Been waiting for your playthrough of this game, gonna watch all the way through.
I've been so excited for this since I tried the demo! Hope you love it, Johne :)
Since the release, I could almost hear at the distance Johne frenetically playing this nonstop
Always top quality content
Hype ❤ love your channel excited for another atlus play through
The awesommest of johns
Door-kun and Aigis really did have a secret love child
I've been waiting for this one!
Lmao the music is canonically in the protags head
I've been dying to see what Atlas has been cooking with this!!!
AGREED!!!
@@Arcticanine Yeah!
This, my people, is an example of not gatekeeping like Nintendo. This is the genius of using a pre-built template to conceive a new form.
Mr. John Atlus is back with another banger LETS GOOO
johne: "so let's quit stalling and jump right in"
me: *pauses the video to go to the bathroom* XD
Been waiting for this one, good times ahead!
Lets go Johne wish you the best for this series!
WORTH THE WAIT
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
I guess I am a bit slow because I am 16 hours late and there are already 3 episodes XD
That owl human thingy got SUCH a great design my lord. Atlus really cooked with the design of practically the first boss even though they didn't have to. I can tell they put love into this game.
I never heard or seen this series before but it looks stunning I can’t wait to watch after I finish your p5R series (I’m currently on episode 101)
Well you're in luck because this is a brand new game by Atlus and not a part of any series of theirs.
@@DarksideGmss0513 oh really thank you I didn’t know that
@@Stay_truejhonny you're welcome
@@DarksideGmss0513 thanks
here comes the "this is persona" "This is like persona" comments sighhh when it's it own game....
Just got the game myself. Really looking forward to it.
Asking deep questions at the start... I think I like it.
Gallica reminds me of Yukari for some reason.
Egg like monster reminds me of the RyuRan Yu-Gi-Oh card.
MC's awakening was METAL.
So hype for this series!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥 🔥
It is here
back when i watched you play SMT4 i had no idea you would become the Atlas guy but I am glad you are doing what you love
IT IS TIME!!!!!!!!!
I Been waiting for this video LETS GOOO!!!
Just finished the game and have return to watch n like all ur playthrough. Keep up the good work 👏.
MAN this game is cool
something so edygy and fun about your heart being a microphone, like speaking with your heart!
omfg i had already heard the battle theme so i already kinda knew but this soundtrack is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
I love seeing games that Johne has no experience in. It's always funny!
It's always a treat to see John ReFantazio play. Commenting to boost algorithm.
Finally got time to sit down and watch this game. Thanks for playing it 👍👍
1:03:17 So let me get this straight. God says "hey i like this kid". Then you take your heart... literally. Then you play Minecraft. Then you cocoon into Yoshimitsu from Tekken.
New game lets gooooooooooooo
You're excited. I'm excited. Over million ppl excited to play this game! 😁🎉 Let's gooo.
Johne: Who's gonna specialise in agility
Me who always picks the assassin or rouge classes in an RPG: Why you saying fuck me for?
🤣🤣
Really excited for this one.
HERE WE GO!!!
Johne is here with Metaphor!
IWAE! All hail Johne!!
Watched this with my cat! Super excited for more!!
Yes my favorite UA-camr to watch these game with
Thats interesting, the demo starts with a different cutscene showing that Louis guy killing the king. I wonder if theres a reason the game didnt
Johne was so hype about this game I had to check it out
Bro posted 3 times in 1 day. I love this guy (no homo)
ty Phoenix
Seconded
so happy that an atlus title is on pc at launch!
33:24 She says that like she is the one who will experience pain !
The music is sooooo damn good and people were doubting it wouldn’t be smh
First. Alright!!!
Time to see what Atlus has been cooking up for... a few years decade apparently?
This new Atlus title's debut...
Can't wait for that IGN review. What game journalist will say. Lol.
The Non-Persona, Megaten game.
IGN gave it 9. A lot of the reviewers have given it perfect scores.
IM SO EXCITED
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
With that intro the game gives, I'm wondering if this is a game where it addresses that the player controls the characters and comes to learn that
Can't wait for the upcoming 100 episodes!
Luckily I'm past this point already because of the demo. I'll hopefully stay ahead of the LP all the way through so I can catch the eps on Day 1.
Will didn’t sound fantasy so I gave him Willow
You can feel me watching you OK that’s just creepy I mean, I played the demo. It was hard but still fun.
Your friendly reminder to leave a comment to help the algorithm
A JohneAwsome let’s play. No way!!!
johne back with another goated content
This game good
love your vids but i will see you in a couple of months this will be my first proper jrpg
An ATLUS protagonist that can really talk
Intresting 🤔
Also I wa so hyped for the game and it doesnt dissapoint
*{Yr 2; Day 119} of been impressed by P5R and waiting for P6.*
"I'M GONNA BUS***"
Weird sh*t aside, REALLY REALLY looking forward to this series and the triple upload just makes that excitement surge up even more! TIME FOR Dynasty Warriors Anime Style!

9:27 The Protag is so damn derpy, I love him...
10:23 THAT'S THE FIRST AREA THEME?! MY GOD!!!
26:30 Didnt mention it before but these 1 minute introductions really do these guys justice. The red-haired elf, Hulkenburg was it? And now Strohl I think?
1:02:25 *WARNING:* Absolute Body Horror Visuals Ahead...

thank you, took some time to break the walkthrough mindset and try new things
50:14 woah woah woah woah, “Humans”, What?!
A new journey begins !
A-mazing. What a marvelous game.
Btw, Johne, you have the same curl as Captain Klinger. Just saying. :D
