    I think it could be argued that metaphor may be on par with the stories of the other ATLUS games, but I can see why a person would prefer one over the other. However, I think it’s uncontroversial to say metaphor is the most mechanically refined out of all of the SMT/Persona-esque titles, and this is both in and out of the combat system.
