What went wrong? Wasn't this game supposed to be the Magnum Opus of JRPG's?
Did segaschizo give up on shilling debirth finally
Atlus's dogshit writers decided not to write the only thing anyone likes them for (boiler plate weeb romance) and instead do something they have no knowledge of or talent for (social commentary)
>>737850321I don't know because i lost interest in it like 4hr in. I didn't dislike it it just did absolutely nothing for me.
they had an open hiring call to "save the JRPG genre" and some pozzed agents snuck in and ruined it all.not that atlus was capable of saving it to begin with anyways though so nothing of value was really lost.
localized persona is trooncored to the maxthere's no room for normal people to enjoy the media anymorelocalizers singlehandedly killed atlus
>>737850321>what went wrong?skipped the only platform that make the game be popular.
needed a 'golden' version to smooth it outdesperately needed better music & a class system that felt less like a checklist to grind through
>>737850321people didn't understand metaphor too anime
>>737850321It was fine and you're brown.
>>737852576>Most hyped up JRPG of the decade>I-it's was just fine
Stak mad kek
>>737850321I liked it despite some weak dungeon design, but I also think I'm one of the only people on this website that still enjoys games in general
>>737853424Mad about.... no one discussing the game?
>>737850321>>737853202>most hyped?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
>>7378503216 days
>>737850321>What went wrong?Generic setting and awful music. Drags on twice as long as it needs to. Awful performance on the PS4 (even on a """pro""" console). Shitty dungeons.
>>737854041Better an organic discussion than whatever marketing stunt / forced discussion you FFcultists spam with FF7R.
Tranny nigger garbageThe first scene turned me off so bad I switch to something else. I should finish it one day but yikes is it bad
After playing p3r and replaying p4g I was cravng a new altus game to scratch that itch and this have in 10hours has done nothing for me that any persona game has. I don't give a fuck about a Japanese view on racism or how "actually the real fantasy world I'd the future!", don't even get me started on how bland of a setting fantasy always is.
>>737854297PS the music sucks what the fuck happened?
i bought a ticket to the orchestra concert tour they're doingi loved the OST, kino game
>>737850321This is one of the few games I regret playing.
>>737854297metaphor is pretty backloaded, keep going
>>737850321Literally all they have to do is release "METAPHOR REFANTASIO: STOP THE COUNT EDITION" with social links and romance for all the girls. It will be hailed as the 10/10 it was meant to be seen as.
>>737850321The main plot and voice acting is kino, the setting is good, I think the main issue is Atlus treating it like an experimental game instead of what it should have been (Persona 5.5) and giving it an actual budget for better levels, better side dungeons, better post-game, more content, more voice acting, etc. Outside of Persona 5, and even then honestly, Atlus has never made a true AAA rpg. This probably should have been treated like that instead of like a fancier AA.
I loved it. I don't know why people are so averse to it>the word "tolerance" appearsOh yeah... people sure are sensitive these days
>>737854419you didn't play it
Meanwhile FF games:
>>737854379The music is awesome
>>737854449I don't plan on quitting yet but, it has done nothing to pull me in this far.
>>737854576
>>737854661So you're just being dramatic?
>>737854661Yeah, I remember this pic from before. You never have played it, Larry. Go back to your Rebirth containment thread.
It came out too soon after Reload, and I didn't feel like playing another 100 hour Atlus game. I'll probably pick it up when it hits the $20 bin.
>>737853202we're still in the same decade as P5 until september
>>737854763already sold out for PS5, but there are still xbox copies
>>737854716All I said was that it was a game I regret playing. I didn't like it, but decided to stick it out to the end. I never ended up enjoying anything about it, so I regret it.
>>737854661shoudla been more tolerant
>>737854890Why would you do that to yourself? Also, if you like other Atlus games how could you not like the combat and job system?
>What went wrong?SEGA still looking for DEI funds.
>>737854898>>737854943>I-is that the word TOLERANCE?! SAVE ME NIGGERMAN I'M BEING GENOCIDED
>>737850821Fuck off, tendietroon, no one cares about your shit.
>>737854898Dude, what are these graphics? Persona 5 Royal looks miles better, what the fuck happened? Metaphor is not even that big.
>>737850321Should I get it on sale for around $30?
>>737855094It was built on the P5 engine from the PS3
>>737852446I mean it’s anime as fuck, but it’s also… not great, plot wise. The heroes are kinder than anybody on earth, their flaws are genuinely minor and easily fixed, and the villains have zero depth. Only the strongest will survive, usher in an age of horror and destroy the world, etc etc etc. Louis has one twist to him and otherwise the dude is mwahahaha bad.
>>737853857It would have been better if they ditched the digital animation in favour of a more hand drawn style. The cut scenes looked great and the transition was so jarring.
>>737854929I did it because I usually like Atlus games. I really hated the Archetypes. I much prefer Demons and Personas. Obviously, I like press turn, but there was something else about the combat that I didn't enjoy, but I can't even remember what. I also didn't like the Calendar System for this game. It felt like a nuisance.
>>737850321It took faglus 8 years to release this copy pasted dogshit.
>>737854863>$15 for metaflopkek, no wonder they put it on gamepass so quickly.
>>737855321I can see why you would walk away from it unsatisfied. You should have just dropped it earlier, but at least you have a more informed opinion.The archetype system is part of what kept me playing for so long. I 100%'d the game and got all archetypes for every character. I also loved the characters and story.>didn't like the Calendar System for this gameI think it had potential. They could have made it more dynamic or had more moments where you are having to plan out trips into dangerous territories. I'm kind of hoping Metaphor becomes a new pillar for Atlus because I think it has a lot more they could do with it.
Kinda shit. I lost interest after I beat it three times and memorized every detail about it.
KWAB
>>737855957>brown hand>funko popname a more dynamic duo
>>737850321I gave this game an honest try. After two hours I got bored and gave up. Where is the gameplay?
>>737856180I don't get it, what gameplay did you want? There's definitely gameplay within the first 2 hours.
>>737856180first Persona game?
>>737850321i like the victorian aesthetics but everything else is lukewarm. i want something with the same anime victorian aesthetics, but with actual mature themes that incorporates marques de sade in a transgressive new way thats never been done in gaming, instead of appealing to 14 year old otakus.
>>737856403yeah we get it dude you're very mature, that's why you pick up games for teenagers and bitch they're made for teenagers.
>>737856180>Shingeki no Kyojin fag
>>737850321the ending is cowardly as fuck. p4 and p5 rotted their brains with the selfinsert-chad shit.
>>737853202Its still the best RPG to come out in this decade, so yeah.
>>737850321It's almost like creating the same boring filler Japshit game with a new skin would someday face pushback
>>737858970That's E33
>>737859032Whatever you say, Patel.
>>737850321fantasy settings suck, simple as
some of the worst dungeons in Atlus history
>>737854763I’m already near the end and I have barely 60 hours of play time, if anything the game is too short and expects you to do all the fun shit (maxing out all archetypes, unlocking royal archetypes) in NG+ but honestly the game is not good enough to warrant a second playthrough. Also what the fuck were they thinking with the story “dungeons”, there’s like five of them and half are super short and the other half are super long for some reason, the pacing is extremely fucked up. It definitely feels like an unfinished game which is unsurprising coming from Atlus.
>>737850321Better characters than P5, great villain, plot is ok but goes full retard in some parts (the Rella twist was so schizophrenic), good waifus shame you can’t romance them, interesting Archetype system but very rough around the edges, all in all I give it a 6/10
>>737850321I don't understand why this game was so heavily praised. Bland OST, insanely slow pacing, lackluster modern video game graphics, slow loading screens even on NVMe, very little strategy in combat, characters nobody remembers a year later, most boring dialogue ever, story was VERY generic, and in some ways made no sense since the MC asserted his correctness thought his sheer might exactly as Louis spoke of.The game also feels both burnt and still raw. There's an impressive amount of dialogue, with every NPC saying something new every time you advance the plot. There are also so many King's Qualities increase scenes that you'll max all of your stats before seeing them. On the other hand, all aspects of combat feel quickly slapped together. Status aliments are useless, shit ton of enemy and dungeon reuse, enemies reacting to your class isn't utilized beyond goblins, bosses stop having mechanics after the human at the cathedral. It feels like the were going to make a game with no combat but then realized that was fucking stupid.tl;dr more like MIDaphor, Monmusu Quest Paradox 3 is the best JRPG of the decade and nothing else comes close.
>>737860995I liked the characters
>>737861069No you liked the fairy cuz she's sexy and Louis because he's based that's it
>>737850321It just wasn't original or good on its own enough relative to Persona to have been worth a new IP.
>>737861191Gallica was a cutie but my favorites were Neuras and Basilio
>>737850321To be honest it's very strange Atlus hasn't done thier usual "ultimate version rerelease" with this game yet.
>>737850321Game is uninspired stereotypical jrpg fantasy shlock and the gameplay is an afterthought.My thanks to the unpaid intern that fucked up its release and spared me the buyers remorse
>>737861413I wish they'd just confirm whether or not they'll actually give Metaphor the Persona Golden treatment or not
Half the replies to OP are from the same person (who is also OP)
>>737863436Why are you doing this, OP?
>>737861413You only have this opinion because you're a persona tertiary that thinks p5 Royal got announced within a year
>>737863464It's in his southeast asian DNA
>>73785032110/10
