Metaphor: ReFantazio - Before You Buy

Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S) is a new RPG from the people behind the hit Persona 5. How is it? Let's talk.

I always watch "Before You Buy" after buying

I dont care how often it is used, I will never not laugh at the thumbnail just changing the head to a major character in the game being talked about.

One of the easiest cops ever after that demo. It just feels perfected from the bond and archetype systems. I’m so excited to play (I’m in Florida. I’m gonna be underwater soon)
Update: in my area. No power was lost and no damage or flooding where I’m at Thankfully. Metaphor IS GETTING PLAYED. Again thanks for the well wishes yall 🙏🏽

"OH man I wonder if Falcon liked this one" *click* JAKE!?

1:26 you say "Just to not spoil too much". Did you edit that on purpose to say 'Spoils - None' on the screen in-game at that exact point in your monologue?

Atlus/Sega have been winning so much this year.

[ARIXANDRE]

Man, a 94 on Metacritic, tied for highest rated game of 2024 with Shadow of the Erdtree and Astrobot. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Atlus is killing it.

Even though I’m a Persona fan, I kinda slept on this game until I tried the demo. Seriously, the demo feels like a full game. No joke, compared to the ‘complete’ games we get these days, this thing is packed with contents. There are games out there right now that feel less finished than this demo. There was so much going on in the demo. The fact that the developers let you experience all of this for free is just mind blowing.

SEGA has been slowly rising back up from the pit of mid 2000s slop to become an absolute top tier publisher. Will they make a new console? No. But, I'm happy SEGA is in a better place than it was before.

Whos here after goty nomination to find out what this even is?

[Frankenmuppet]

I wish I had the disposable income to pick this up at launch, but I'm sadly gonna have to wait a couple months... It's absolutely the first game I'll be picking up when I am able

[DoomsdayMayBeOkay]

This game is insane, even crazier than Persona. I love it!

[cbmatty]

This game is so god damn fun, people need to spread the word about how good this is.

2 Atlas JRPG's and 2 Yakuza games in less than a year. They are quite literally making these games faster than I can ply them

[RallForeman]

This is without a doubt Game of the Year contender just off the 8 Hour Demo. It's pure gold. I haven't pre-ordered a game in about 8 years and I pre-ordered this the minute the demo ended for me. This is a 10/10 nearly

I have to admit, I've been ignoring this game every time the banner/thumbnail would pop up thinking it was some kind of Persona crossover game. I love Persona, but I've never been interested in the spin offs.

I had no idea it was a completely new IP!

Thank you for putting this out. I was about to miss out on a real gem. 🙂

[Vinzie]

People keep comparing this to p5, little they did know it’s a p3 spinoff, I mean you already got the mc Makoto Yuki, Yukari(your fairy companion), akihiko with horns, and long eared Mitsuru. Wouldn’t be surprise if Aegis shows up as well lol

"she's constantly screaming about you being down"
to be fair i would be mad too, we can see you using a mage in the goblin dungeon in the video, not hiting any weakness and getting owned lol

[rockypaine]

This game takes elements from many different SMT games, press turn system, combining skills from Persona 3 and DDS, it really feels like they took a highlight reel of the games that came before (in terms of gameplay) and mashed em all together it is a great time.

Let's be honest if you like any atlas game, you will love this. And if one of your only complaints was high-school for the other games this is what you are waiting for!
