https://www.rpgsite.net/preview/20834-metaphor-refantazio-has-some-promise-on-switch-2-but-its-not-quite-there-yetSwitch 2 port was playable at anime expo. Looks like it has some issues but the game is targeting 60 with dips in more places than the original on PC/PS4/base PS5, so there should be no situation where a demo comes out in October and it runs sub 30 constantly like with P3R
>>572807034Just leave Brigitta and Catherina for me.
This again huh
Eupha sex

I still haven't seen what happens if you wait until the end of the game to do Catherina's follower events

>>572810237He always gets it
>30th anniversary of persona>only game that comes out for it is a port of metaphor
>metaphor up by this much literally just from a sale at a price they've been close to before + having literally any presence in the news cycle, which is literally the most it's been up by since mid 2025bros I think marketing an IP actually boosts sales or something3 million by the end of this year seems guaranteed which would funnily still be faster than P3R despite the valve being turned off for a year
>>572943685>think marketing an IP actually boosts salesWhat marketing? It's just steam sales season. People buy games they won't play for more than a month

Will apparently beat Tails in a Sega character popularity poll lol
>>572943685I think 3 million will be latest reached with the switch port but at this rate maybe earlier who knows, it is going well either way
>>572943685Atlus has to figure out that turning shit around quickly like they used to is actually part of the reason why their brands got to where they are. Metaphor is already way past SMT and the vast majority of persona but they left such a huge gap open after it came out that grifters noticed
Larrue posted some metaphor music being played at the atlus booth https://x.com/didyaknowtensei/status/2073518394201272539

Man, Basilio really gets screwed over the hardest by the Join Louis bad end.>Depends on others for most of everything his life.>Couldn't even awakening his own Archetype, needed Del for that too.>His 1st independent motivation was to avenge Fidelio and beat the shit out of Louis, almost got himself killed for it.>Decides to support Will since he isn't an asshole and has similar goals and ideals he agreed with>Get to Louis, now the guy he decided to believe in allies with his brother's murderer.>The guy Basilio hates so much half his Archetype dialogue is wondering how he can kick his ass now, the guy who's final speeches Bas gave was only on how much Louis sucks and should die.>Basilio is most likely to die out of the group in the new world's transformation due to his overdependence. Strohl and Heismay are accepting of the situation and will probably make it past just fine. Basilio still thinks Heismay hates paripus at this point.>Strohl at least got the (temporary) satisfaction of avenging his family before getting reminded of what the group were fighting in the first place for and getting over his hatred.Like you really have to hate the dude to pick this choice.
Dead game dead discussion dead thread
>>572790365Is this a good game?
>>573074713yes
>>573072106I don't think he'd be at that much of a disadvantage, he'd probably do fine having to kill people that turned into humans especially given his follower material. All not getting transformed means that you can beat your own anxiety and not that you can't literally feel anything so him hating Louis is not much of a factor
>>573078251I thought Louis's transformation plan involved doing what he did to Will onto everyone on the planet. He even mention Hulkenberg potentially not making it after her protests, and she got over her Prince anxiety completely by that point in the story.
>>573080715>onto everyone on the planet.Euchronia isn't the whole world, he'd just basically nuke the equivalent of the UK forever.
>>573080715For all of the archetype users the big idea is that if they ever reach a point where anxiety stops being the source of their strength and they can't draw power from it then they would start to succumb, but barring that they have a considerable advantage over the average /v/ shitposter because they can do that. Will before awakening is a bit of an exception and would go instantly because he is sending anxiety to the scepter the entire game, and he's the only archetype user that leaks anxiety constantly even during gameplay up until that point. Louis evaluates literally everyone through that lens. Munchinberg isn't going to turn into a human because she disagrees with Louis, it would happen if she couldn't deal with losing a specific person for example and she started letting off anxiety for someone else to take on for her. This is the whole basis for the culling. You could hate Louis perpetually and blame him for killing your loved ones and having a single thing to aspire to destroy could be enough for someone to be able to reject their anxiety, or you could be someone totally unable to do that and you would turn into a human. The former is the kind of thing I think would drive Basilio in that kind of a setting. He grew up in a hellscape and knows full well paripus die whenever, and he also wasn't drugged out of his mind by Sanctists, so he wouldn't conventionally go mad from the spell being activated and seeing people go ass backward all around him. In a scenario where Will joins Louis and they take equal part in the destroyer king role Louis knows that some of the survivors would hate him for I think berg would be full yandere for Will and that would keep her going if her parents were transformed or something like that, kind of like a Zorba with tits but also less sane.
>>573082004I wonder what Louis even thought about that. The royal scepter is op but I can't see it being able to be strong after he wants to stop absorbing anxiety and in omparison to what other countries might have. Did he just not care it is limited to Euchronia or did he plan to expand? If he just ruined Euchronia, other countries could wait a bit and then take over the ruins.
>>573092568The risk of getting invaded is much lower if the country is overrun by humans I think, foreigners were interested in weakening the euchronian government by funding activists representing minorities too relatable so I don't think the interest is really in trying to take over a much smaller country where the authority figures have godlike powers and everyone else even the non-combatants are inherently more competent than the average person
>>573093565I guess the interest would be there if Euchronia had valuable natural resources but not like that is much eluded to.

gay sex with fidelio!
Louis watched Rella and Junah fuck Then Louis and Rella fucked Then Junah fucked Fidelio to make her sister jealous It didn't work and Louis and Rella got married That was how Rella became queen and Junah ended up with a minority man's puppies
>>573171019can't wait for the alternative route in Retold
God can't everyone just start having sex already
>>573176301I think theyre going to be very stringent about making changes to the existing story like with P5 but maybe they thought quaditsu route was cool and want to do something like that. I'd just hope that they don't make a new dungeon and then literally reuse all the enemies between that and the one they add on the new path.
>Will beat Sonic and Bayonetta in a sega popularity pollIt's a pretty low engagement one but still
Metaphor is the Ronaldo of Atlus games

>>573189670I would hope they have the balls to change things drastically, I really would like eg Rella to live, Fidelio I like him but it would hinder Basilios arc a bit so I wouldn't trade that.

The writing in this game is weird. Once in a while, the protagonist declares that he is working towards making the prince the king but the rest of the time, people are declaring that the protagonist is going to become king
>>573421167yeahhhh because he's supposed to be a shadow candidate for the prince who no one is supposed to know is alive he never says that to anyone that he isn't close to and actually if you wait until the last arc of the game to do certain follower events some of that dialogue will actually change

I want more metaphor
playing the game for the first time and holy shit the dragon temple was a fucking marathon. seemed like quite the spike in difficulty too, at end the i had to run past enemies due to no mp consumables. the boss itself was way easier than the path to him. im quite at a dilemma what party members to pick now, im glad they get passive xp. junah and the mask girl seem to both stat like casters. been enjoying it way more than any persona and its on par with smt 4 (the only atlas game i truly enjoyed so far), big surprise cause i absolutely didnt feel persona 5.
>>573907453dragon temple is just a rehash of etrian odyssey, if you like that then go play EO instead
>>573908198Cope personatard
>>573908671>lying about playing the game for the first time just so he can dunk on personasad to have a non-flop franchise rent free in your mind that you have to "pretend" to be someone trying this garbage lol
>>573907453I love making both junah and eupha into physical attackers, wish there was a better source of strength incenses but I also kind of get why they didn't make those easy to get Thinking about it I've only made Junah follow her dancer path once across all the playthroughs I've done and she's been either an offbrand warrior or a general
>>573908948>schizoid rambling Persona has a following of the dumbest retards on the planet and you've started feeling self conscious about it, that's why you have this general open all day absolutely desperate to get in the way of any discussion about the game
>>573909205>literally 100+ posts of imagedumps>discussionhmmmmmmmmm no
>>573908198im not sure i liked the temple, it took like 3h.>>573908958i do feel junah dancer/caster is strong but might make one of them melee to replace strohl. like brawler especially for melee, so stronge.>>573908948didnt even wanna dunk i feel im too old to relate to persona and 5 was why i didnt play metaphor until now.
Metaphor will always be much better than Persona
>>573907453I like P5 in particular quite a lot (don't really give a shit about P3 or P4) but Metaphor is definitely better, it's not even close
>bring general to lvl 15does anyone else not fuck with this class, might just use the xp items for this one boss
Are there any rundowns on the development history?
>>573911316I use the buffs for most of the game, the synthesis skill for full party heat riser I used a bunch recently>>573918312there's the interview collection in the OP but there's no big story or anything particularly unique about it other than how the game was announced years before any real work began on it because it was the first time they were trying to build a new studio like that after P5

>>574019728I make eupha an off brand melee attacker pretty much every time because her battle priestess personality suits it but she was good in the general tree for awhile too. I've never made her a pure caster, Junah I did a couple times
>>574020689thats smart. i was thinking about doing the melee route with junah (mines only dancer and faker so far), but i just now got the next party member who seems to be meele.
>>574009825well I hope it is more successful online then
>>574022075Yeah I got him in that picture too, bas is great to use for all the late game content but I like offbranding him as a Healer or a technical class because of all his archetype dialogue. He puts his all into trying new things and he would be the most competent in a debisama scenario
You guys play this game multiple times?

I haven't finished this game yet and I want the Royal version It get why persona communities don't tall about the game too much its because they're fucking ashamed
The dialogue is too repetitive sometimes. Like when you beat Junah's sister, it was like 15-20 minutes repeating the same information over and over
>>574175371explaining what was actually going on and then dying is not repeating the same thing over and over it's giving you information once and then trying to do something with that information assuming the player can understand the difference
>>574175494She explained it to the crew, then they showed the flashback which conveyed the same thing, and then they yapped more after the flashback, and then she explained it again when talking to the crowd. A more creative writer would have found a way to convey the information once
>>574175494These developers should know that proper writing in a video game is vagueposting for 40 hours with hollywood actors they couldn't pay for without a huge investment from china. This is the chief lesson we all should learn from the greatest game of all time according to Southeast Asia and France
>>574166849Ashamed of what? Of metaphor being a waste of money and time? Yeah
>>574175895meanwhile what really happened was>Rella admits she was protecting her sister>then they show the flashback showing what actually happened and what Forden's motivation was >then she tells everyone over magic skype what she did which causes the faith to start to crumbleA different thing is happening each time
>>574176392Sounds like there were huge overlaps in each of those scenes and they could have easily have been folded into a single scene or a set of smaller scenes to avoid the redundancy in information
>>574176358ashamed of how aggressively mediocre persona is in comparison
>>574176642It sounds like you're coping out of your ass desu
>>574176868>Rella admits she was protecting her sister>then they show the flashback showing what actually happened [. . .]>then she tells everyone over magic skype what she did [. . .]Even in your post, the redundancy in the scenes is apparent
Metaphor is a perfect infalible game with no flaws and it's the only masterpiece ever created in the history of the universe. Of course the perfect videogame had to be created by a Japanese man, born in the most perfect country in the world that is Japan. The rest of the world should be ashamed of being incapable of creating such a masterpiece like metaphor, even the concept of existence should be ashamed since Metaphor is better than god, allah, jesus christ, yahweh and all other nonsensical things you believe in
Throwing a tantrum really doesn't make it look like you were justified in trying to critique anyone else's work Don't open your mouth again
>>574177056>each scene contains new information about something introduced in a previous sceneThis is literally the opposite of redundancy. Redundancy isn't having three scenes centered on one idea, it's having three scenes that articulate that idea exactly the same way
>>574178373You can't talk about one thing for that long you have to jump to the next topic before the watcher gets out their phone and starts watching tiktok. And you need to throw in some fairy ass to break up this thing and the next thing so the youtube video of your game being watched doesn't get relegated to secondary viewing. And then you have to make sure that you pad the script for secondary viewers towards the end anyway and ensure you both show and tell otherwise that's a lost customer.
>>574178373This is a weak argument lmao. According to you, if one 20 minute scene explains something but the next scene has 19 minutes of the same information but only 1 minute of new information, they are not redundant
>>574178774No, because you can't take this point to that extreme without losing it completely. 99% of the same shit and 1% trying to move the plot forward is articulating it exactly the same way each time. Beyond that, if you watched any set of scenes in this game in particular and came away thinking it did this at any point you were just not paying any amount of attention to it
>responding seriously Will admit though it's gonna be a real funny awkward moment when P6 comes out and Metaphor's writing quality is so much higher that it becomes the new P2 for contrarians
>debating the definition of redundancy instead of addressing the idea that information is repeatedThe point is that the information could have been delivered with far less repetition. Imagine if Metaphor was adapted for an anime, do you think they would have the scenes running long as they as they were? No, they would rewritten the scenes to convey them in 5 minutes instead of 20 and there would be no loss in information
>>574180225>pivoting because the argument fell apart This new one you got doesn't work either because the repetition is already minimal in the example you tried to give. Cramming all three pieces of Rella's backstory into a single infodump is always going to come with information loss unless you rewrite the whole thing to redefine what information there is to lose. Anime adaptations of games that have a lot of story (like Persona 5, for fucking example) leave important shit out all the time precisely because they try to do this for the benefit of the runtime and the moron watching the show. And this was why the first argument didn't work, because you couldn't make it without taking it to the only extreme that would be favorable to what you were trying to say that didn't represent what you were talking about in the first place
>movie writing vs. game writing it's like watching an Expedition 33 fan trying to make headway in a room of avid book readers
>>574180994>pivoting because the argument fell apartIt's pivoting to the initial argument instead of getting stuck debating semantics: "The dialogue is too repetitive sometimes.">Anime adaptations of games that have a lot of story (like Persona 5, for fucking example) leave important shit out all the time preciselyI've never seen the Persona anime. If they omitted important information, then it's a flaw in the script, not an issue with the medium. Large scale stories are conveyed through anime all the time and there's nothing special about Persona or Metaphor that makes them impossible to adapt into anime.
>>574181574>Large scale stories are conveyed through anime all the timeConveyed *poorly* all the time, because they get in their own way trying to grind the material down into the smallest pieces possible like this, and they find it doesn't work out, so they take advantage of the viewers and try to nail the memorable moments from the source material and cut most of the rest out. People might love the 2nd Heaven's Feel movie for keeping all the sex in, but even that one cuts a ton of things out of the original story. Realistically, a metaphor anime would totally cut the loli Rella flashback in the middle and just have Rella tell all of that instead of showing it, because you still need the details from that scene for what she did and what Forden was trying to do to fully make sense, and even then it still wouldn't be able to compress the third part as-is because too many things are actually happening in it that are predicated on earlier parts of the story and matter for what happens immediately afterward. You can't move the fight elsewhere or have her not admit to the assassination a second time without the entire chain of events falling apart, you can't shorten the third part much or at all without it impacting the payoff for Gideaux or showing why Forden's former supporters eventually start rioting while Louis' do too between the state religion starting to collapse and Rella's endorsement turning into a monster in broad daylight which happens later, and what does this naturally lead to because they can't get it into the amount of time they need to? The anime screenwriters cutting shit. Would be a small miracle if Gideaux wasn't just completely relegated to a background character.
>>574183114I feel like a Metaphor anime would be closer to an adaptation of the manga than the game. The manga is already making a ton of concessions to shorten the length of the story which is why the consensus is that the art is great but the story is ass
>>574180113>that it becomes the new P2 for contrariansThis is not a good thing, nobody ever played P2 and most of the people who praise it praise it for the wrong reasons and try to reduce the characters to memes or overpraise them despite being fairly normal.
>>574183817I mean what would be any different really? The same retards that didn't play metaphor and were shitting on it would just start glazing metaphor while shitting on something else. The net amount of retardation in the world stays the same
>>574183114>a metaphor anime would totally cut the loli Rella flashbackyeah miss me with that shit thanks at a minimum they have to add a scene of her touching Louis when they were younger if not fully animate the college dorm sex scene or I will not watch to the end
If we're being honest, you could cut 90% of the dialogue because it was pretty obvious that Rella wanted to protect her sister.
>>574184845We could cut 90% of your brain out because yer not using much of it
I thought there was news and instead it was just an internet argument...
>>574185182Sorry 4chan is such a disappointment anon there's too many foreigners from muslim and asian shitholes on here now
>>572790365wtf is wrong with Will's English dub voice? he sounds like a lispy faggot>>573074713I like it so far, just don't play it in English
>>574193940idk he's kind of awkward but he gave a decent interview for the 1st anniversary. Interviewer tried to bait him into le orange man bad and he didn't take it so I consider him based
