I Can't STOP Playing Metaphor ReFantazio's Demo!

As someone who LOVES Shin Megami Tensei, but not Persona quite as much, I went into the Metaphor ReFantazio demo with trepidation but an open mind, and I was SHOCKED at how much I enjoyed the demo! Give me MOAR!!

I've been waiting for this game for 7 years every since atlus said they were doing a fantasy game back in dec 2016 when they first brought up project re fantasy. It's kind of insane that this game didn't have any gameplay or even an actual name until last year. The last i remember hearing about it was when hulkenberg (who didn't have a name then and a different design) was added as a dlc portrait for etrian Odyssey Nexus on the 3ds (which i still have).

I loved what i played in the demo and my favorite part was when i beat a boss in an optional dungeon that was 12 lvl higher then me (it took a few tries and a lot of luck but double knight and 1 warrior got me through).

(Also your drawing of louis is really great I'm really impressed by it. I'm pretty impressed by him as a villain so far, he's definitely got my attention)

5:00 in persona 5 social links give you special abilities that FEEL very rewarding, like pulling yourself to enemies with grabbling hook, or insta kill weaker enemies, or switch party members during combat and more…, I genuinely hope metaphor does the same, and not just to upgrade Archetypes

They did say something about fixing performance on PC or at least the fact they are aware there is a performance bug. I really hope they fix it soon, as I really want to play it on my steam deck when it releases!

This game takes what i liked about persona and cut all the cringe out. Perfect

[rannpnut]

THANK YOU! FINALLY, someone said it: this game screams Fire Emblem meets fantasy Persona, and if you like traditional jrpg battle mechanics, we're all going nutty for it.

Also kinda reminds me of Bravely Default in the careful planning of battle sequences but I digress because that's a very far comparison, since there isn't speeding up extra actions.

I’m ❤’ing it! The story drew me in right away! (Another huge SMT fan here also! Picked up Nocturne back in 2004 and been hooked since!)

[derekosgood]

I started it tonight. The game is amazing. I can't wait to pick this up.

[wcanderton]

Never played SMT, loved my experience with Persona!
Also a huge Final Fantasy fan.
Metaphor is REALLY sick, right up my alley

Louis design is so good, and please release that drawing in ur Etsy. And I’m 9 hours in the demo! And I haven’t finished it yet, I love this world, and just taking my time learning it. I also heard that you won’t be able to every dungeon if you don’t use your time wisely, so yeah, time gonna be factor. I beat the dragon, but I assume you can go back and fight it if you didn’t, but it’ll waste a day.

[fantasyfinal]

I just really appreciate Atlus devs doing something refreshing and creating new IP when everything jrpg these days seems to be a sequel, remake or remaster of some kind

[MewCocoa]

That art of Louis was awesome.
I’m so excited for the game. I’m counting down the days and loved the demo.

I play the demo the demo second time setting it for my best playthrough. I really wanted to do the brigitta dungeon but way too under levelled to be worth it. It is so smooth and so good. Why did I play the demo😭😭. I cannot wait for full game. The beginning section is way better than persona 5 which makes it easier for people to get into the world.

[jugglerkkev]

my intrest for this game came from my love for persona 5, which is my favorite jrpg of all time, and knowing its the same team, my intrest was naturally peaked! and so far im very impressed, finished the demo and a good chunk of the first real dungeon as far as the demo let me, and i love how same, but also diffrent it feels from persona 5, it still shares a lot of the same gameplay systems, but more refined, and with a very diffrent tone/writing style and worldbuilding that sets it apart completly, often times i was forgetting that i was basically playing a "mediveal fantasy persona" which speaks FOR the game. also the music is fire af, altho not as "catchy" as persona music which lies in the nature of things tho, orchestral music tends to be less catchy than more pop style music, but nevertheless amazing and fitting to the games world! i cant wait for the full game, definitely a goty contender so far and i wish more people would talk about this game..

[projectmessiah]

Im about to replay the demo myself because i found out that dialogue choice about your biggest strength affects your starting stats and i picked the strength one despite going all into magic for my mc.

[dragon__blades]

I played 2 hours of it saving the rest till closer to release.

[osc-oldschoolclips]

I definitely gotta play again. I keep getting my ass whipped by that worm. i’m only on level 7. Others are on level 10 by this point. The worm that disappears underground before it gets you. It’s now a horror movie the way I gotta run from that enemy. It doesn’t help that i’m playing on hard either lol.

[epicgamescene]

My last save file before the demo ended is in the dungeon outside of the city (the lady in black side quest), so I just keep xp farm until lv23 with all the mc archtypes at full master level

Also if you use the mage archtype, it will fill your mp for every enemy beaten

[Malacite]

Persona 5 had me hooked instantly, so I am very interested in this for sure.

I actually like the time management aspect, it adds a strategic layer to everything - though it can be a bit stressful I agree.

The social link stuff is kind of hit or miss, and depends greatly on the performances of the characters (and what you get out of it I suppose)

[ninjamasterdave]

Great preview - looking forward to playing it

[chickentricep]

I like how in the game they see our world as a fantasy
