Let this be a lesson that if you go against Asia we will make it so no one will ever talk about your game.
Can I play this game still or do I lose my gamer card if I don't play persona 5 instead?

>>574322043Liar, chinks got exposed hard for election interference so theyre going to be pivoting away from games for awhile
>>574325829this, they're so obnoxious in every general, the entire website, and in real life
Congrats /meta/, you've made it to three threads in a row that fail to reach bump limit and a whole month without having a thread reach bump limit too. Here's to a fourth thread and another failed month!!!
I won't let /meta/ die!Rerelease with Mage Academy announced next year!
>>574339543i blame the philippines
>>574339543You seem more upset about this than literally anyone else kek
>>574341979You have a weird definition of upset
>>574342324You're positively fuming because there's no dying for this general and you know itNo one cares that a slow thread doesn't get posts during the same third world timezone every single time. We all know why it doesn't too and that makes you pissed off too because /meta/ makes fun of minorities all the time
>>574345564>says I'm upset>proceeds to seethe that his thread diednah i'm good
>>574322396play the game and save our general please
>>574341617tf did i do
I will also not let /meta/ die, 2027 will be our next step.
>>574350570wtf its almost 2027 already...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32udqal_lyQ
>>574350570you can't even bring louis back to life
>>574345564I like how /meta/ is the one of the existing metaphor groups that's just openly racist when the point of the game actually is that racial differences are unavoidable and that leadership should actually be focused on addressing the things that drive racial differences to start causing problems where things like protected groups are way too idealistic to exist practically /vg/ was always the dead end for persona discussion when you've reached the end of what there is and you're too autistic to let it go. It's the same for metaphor Most people figured out turd worlders were trying to gaslight fans of this game also so that's obviously another thing
>>574359180>complains about /meta/ being racist>and then complains about third worlders in the end by calling them turd worldersso is racism supposed to be good or bad in this case?
>>574359717>complains about /meta/ being racistunderstand emphasis on words through context cluesvery hard for an ESL which is exactly why I wrote this post this way
>>574340389I think it's equally likely that they just pull it out of nowhere towards the end of this year too desuOnce P6 is properly shown we will hear something about it is my strong suspicion
Personafags made a lot of extra work for themselves by antagonizing metaphor enough that the fans just kept making a thread long after it wasn't really needed instead of organically merging back with /pg/. Now to seethe they need to come over to another thread where they will stick out immediately and get bullied easily

I washed the side of someone's house to be able to afford buying Metaphor at launch, which I wanted almost entirely for Hulkenberg from the day it was ANNOUNCED and I saw her beautiful face and beautiful blunt bangs hairstyle and beautiful ears. And I still haven't played it because I have delusions of grandeur about making minimum wage as a streamer so it's been on my backlog that entire time cause I haven't been able to stream and I have this fucking annoying compulsion in my brain that makes me put off playing games if I can't play them on streamI have other stuff I've wanted to play for ages in my backlog because of this.....I can't turn off content brain because making poverty tier money like barely minimum wage as my grand aspiration as a streamer is the only way I won't be dead by 40
>>574417679idk what this is a copy pasta from but whoever wrote it is just another victim of zoomers having no real culture
>>574417846it's not zoomer brain, I'm not a zoomer, I have no way to make money aside from a streaming career basically, I'm unemployable, I'll literally kill myself otherwise

I want more behind the scenes knowledge and development content about this game, even like early artworks, plot choices, etc. But the team have been really hush hush about any of it.
>>574469642They won't do the artbook until the dlc is out
>>574470063lol

Maria will be 18 one day...
>>574478113The other girls are already 18
Why was the crew so convinced that the Prince would save the world? He became unconscious as a kid so they don't know his ideology
>>574492978prince goodlouis baddon't question the plot
>>574492978only a fraction of the party really believed in the prince, it was rather Will that inspired them in the end. The prince was more a cope for Grius and Hulkenberg dealing with their past failure. That he is the prince in the end isn't really important since he earns his position either way
>>574492978Provided this wasn't bait they tell you multiple times why the resistance put everything they had behind the prince and it was the opposite of this, he was already intelligent as a child and had the same effect on people that Will does This is also why they had that scene early in the game where he talked to Will and explained what his ideology was and why he was already determined to be worthy of becoming a hero king as quickly as he could, and why he needed Will to reassure him that he could be that in the first place because every day that became less and less of a possibility.The survivors also loved his mother and he was already just like her and even at his age he was already good enough at magic to ride around on his sword like she could. No one was really thinking about how capable he would be at governance because they were all being idealistic about getting back the things they lost. Getting the prince back or the idea that everyone would accept him after voting for someone else is just that, it's being completely idealistic, and there are already other characters convinced that even if he doesn't want it Will is going to be the king in the end, and there's no other way the prince can live in the end besides melding with his childhood fantasy.
Louis-sama...
In Metaphor 2, Will is disillusioned like his father and becomes a dictator and another guy has to come and save the country from him
>>574499481It will be Louis and Rellas bastard child!

I miss having new followers to do...
>>574556975wanna do me
The P5X staff want to have future collabs with Metaphor and SMT While this would probably get me to play that game for a little bit I'm struggling to imagine how that would play out though I would really enjoy thieves' den dialogue between p3/5 and metaphor characters The devs also really wanted to make the Strega characters playable before the p3r collab flopped to shit midway so that might also be the best chance at getting a playable Louis provided DLC doesn't do a book version of him
>>574571605>complains about gacha but wants metaphor to blend with gachashit
I would play a Metaphor gacha
>>574575286I would throw $200 at Rella in a swimsuit at least
I hate gacha so much.I will never forgive Yoko Taro on Reincarnation. Now we can't bring back the story because the game is dead.I hope Metaphor will never collab with any gacha.
>>574578131to be fair SE is slowly bringing their dead gachas back as standalone games, that they had to rebrand Brave Exivus as Resonance because of how much baggage comes with the original name is pretty funny though

The steam achievements in this game suck. I have to play the game a third time because I missed the recipes and debates
>>574604785The debates you're SOL on but you can get all the cooking work done in the last month of the game. If you just travel and rest on the road everywhere you can cook twice a day
>>574607342I am missing one of the recipes

>>574636456Eupha and Hulkenberg at a minimum are going to be sex bombs until they're in their 50s because Hulk will keep her complexion basically forever thanks to the sheer number of nutrients from other animals she's consumed thanks to never heating anything cooked at high heat and Eupha has the polynesian sex genes that'll make her age like a japanese vampire like Araki Junah will be hot forever because all nidia women are basically the sexy witch trope after they hit the wall except they don't have to make blood sacrifices to keep their youthGallica is a magla creature so she won't age traditionally so she will have sexy fairy feet forever Brigitta will take twice as long to go over the hill because of her naturally longer lifespan Catherina is fucked though I'll give you that, she's gonna have six dozen fowls/puppies young and then she's gonna check the fuck out
>>574636842midlife Catherina completely sells out to be some rich bastard personal fuck meat to secure wagie jobs for her broke kinsmen. On wedding day him groping her massive lactating milkers (her nipples permanently darkened and calloused from years of degradation) and cradling her pregnant belly while laughing hysterically on the poor kinsmen down on their knees getting pissed on
>>574636842>Hulk will keep her complexion basically forever thanks to the sheer number of nutrients from other animals she's consumed thanks to never heating anything cooked at high heatHulkie is raw meat pilled? Holy crap she gets better and better I gotta play this.

>>574674648no shit he's old fat and ugly
>>574321026Give it to me straight, how woke is this game? I wanna play it for the hot waifus but I've heard some really bad things
>>574675634it's woke because it's inherently political and you can't date teenagers
>>574675634Like what, vague retardation without any source
>>574677758The asians that were targeting this game weren't really vague about anything I don't think. They would just lie brazenly lol Third worlders don't even lie like white people, they don't care about making what they say sound believable because their intended targets are borderline retarded children that don't need that level of effort
>>574675634it has the typical japanese together we are stronger narrative that we see since decades, there is nothing woke about it. They even shit on some woke ideas later in the game context
Sex the berg
>>574683865>some woke ideasThe game gives you a whole book of them and says while these things sound nice none of them will actually work unless you genocide scores of people and make the world completely unrecognizable firstIt doesn't just say woke is retarded, it says woke is literally impossible
More is woke, his book is woke and he's depressed because woke lost the culture warLouis is woke 2.0Will starts out thinking he's woke and then realizes he's actually center-right
>>574685609nah BS More is woke, Will is woke to center and Louis is woke to far-right. Woke people would never rely on actual meritocracy desu
The tutorial was so long that I forgot the game even had a calendar system.I was just going along as a linear game until this line brought Persona to mind and I remembered.
Your mom is woke
Woke doesn't mean anything
How do you people misinterpret the game's story this badly? They did not reject the ideals of the book. They recognized that it may not be unattainable but they were gonna pursue the ideals anyway
>>574713354>they were gonna pursue the ideals anywayNo. They were going to take those ideals and use them to find something realistic to achieve which is collectively how the party viewed fantasy by the end. Because they know they can't solve racism or have equity bullshit
>how can i maximize my personal cognitive dissonance by stretching the point of the story so far that it fits my political worldview and requires no introspection whatsoeverthe answer to "is the game woke" is that it's a neoliberal game that is inherently contradictory. the creative director (hackshino) is a conservative man from a conservative country and is unwilling to examine what is required of oneself to be progressive and believe in ideals of a better future/meaningfully act on them
You guys inverted the story. Louis was the cynic who thought the ideal world was impossible. The protagonist was the idealist who wanted to actively improve the world even if his attempts may fall short. They weren't like, "Yeah, you're right this country will always be racist, we won't fix the race issues".
brooo white people always talk about boring shit
>>574716112coping personakek >>574717359Anon Louis is a pure idealist, it's a very difficult thing to miss. You have to like completely forget that he was inspired by More's book or spent the last 10% of the game telling the party he was going to create a utopia, Gallica telling him that he was retreating into his own fantasy because he couldn't accept anything that was slow to change or didn't have an ideal solution etc. to come up with this take. Objectively the reason why he wants to get rid of everyone that can't hold their own anxiety is because he identified this as the core of why nothing in the book can happen in the world the way it is. You also got the protagonist backwards. He spends the first 2/3 of the game being completely idealistic and literally the reason why the fantasy merges with the real person is to show how after Louis turns him into a monster he becomes more grounded in realism without running away from it like More and Louis did. This is why in the epilogue he isn't trying to solve racism, he's trying to eliminate issues that caused racial and class differences and prejudice to spiral out of control. This is why they reopen the mage academy to everyone for example even if public transit is still not a thing and the rich still have an inherent advantage. The answer is not "woke is cool and I'm going to try implementing it even if I know it won't work" the answer is about how the intent behind high minded fantasies can help inform real world solutions.>>574719326Metaphor is a white man's game
>white man's gameThe protagonist is a member of the lowest, most discriminated race who becomes king. It's a Black man's fantasy.
>>574688132I still think woke 2.0 is a good equivalent for Louis since what he's after is a form of accelerationist socialism just with way more permanent a solution behind it than what real world zoomers that never had a career or pay taxes are willing to come up with. Woke teens with worthless educations in real life are not willing to risk not being part of the resulting socialist model themselves like he is, because he wants to put something in place that will actually work.When you think about it the only reason why woketards have shit like protected groups in their doctrine in the first place is because they need to manufacture a voting bloc to win elections in republic and democratic settings which is why they can make wild claims like minorities being too stupid to get an ID and it doesn't even register like a contradiction to them. They see themselves as a higher class of human being already even if for most of them it's cope with how their families despise them and their "chosen family" is all mentally ill schizoids/they chopped their dicks off/etc. Louis only needs to get elected the one time which is why he can easily live with the survivors hating his guts like he says, but I don't think it's a coincidence that he publicly described the conditions for getting through the filter he wanted to implement as a shield. He wanted to make it look like he was creating a protected group in the traditional American Democrat clown sense so more people would vote for him when really it was only people that actually subscribed to his ideology who were going to be able to survive and make up the group that would now own everything including the means of production.
>>574721709>the lowest, most discriminated raceThe only arab in the setting is Julian and Gallica bullied him behind his back because his book sucked We're lucky his wings are fake or he might've crashed into the monolith

https://x.com/kazumaKaneko666/status/2079458735710474487Kaneko praising Hashino for not being a corporate shill during the same week he made multiple allusions to really bad relationships he had with Atlus staff while he was still there
>>574745891>names metaphor directly despite having not been at the company for years by the time it was made I'm wondering if there was some weird behind the scenes shit that happened with this game where Hashino had to tell the execs to go fuck off that he got a lot of respect from his peers (besides the persona team) for. In some of these tweets Kaneko makes reference to not having a great relationship with Atlus staff by the time he left the company (which was before SMTIV went into full production) and I can't think of another reason why he would actually talk about later atlus projects on his own otherwise
>>574745891>He can't read japanese passive-aggresivenessAnon, Kaneko doesn't like Hashino.
>>574748148This reads like cope
>>574748286If you've read most of Kaneko's other tweets, he doesn't refer to staff as anything but "the illustrator of atlus/persona"(Soejima) and Hashino as "the director of maken x/metaphor" (because he worked together with kaneko with maken x, and hashino is no longer the director of persona anymore). Somewhere around before SMTIV's development, the staff at Atlus kept undermining Kaneko's contributions or ignoring his input, since the overall shift of the company changed (like he mentioned in that tweet, because of Hashino and not an internal company person) and that's literally what he means. His later remark "he did a lot huh" with よね is usually passive aggresive, enough that even nips noticed that. And if nips can notice that passive aggresiveness, given how much they dislike if someone voices a negative opinion, then I don't know what to tell you.
>>574748548>see look everyone thinks he was being passive aggressive>posts the one massive VV simp on twitter that has to convince himself a second rerelease is coming any day now kek so it's cope then
>>574748548most of this post is babble but he would just keep calling him the director of maken x if any word of this fridge logic pattern was actually true
>>574748948you literally just got humilliated on /smtg/ when other people tried to correct you as well because you'd rather believe your own headcanon translation than any proper japanese
>>574749028I don't post on /smtg/ much or at all these days, but this has nothing to do with your post being absolutely incoherent
>>574749106>>574746307>>574746457lying faggot
>>574749181If you want to go have a schizoid crashout because metaphor exists in your own thread feel free but don't drag other people into it
>>574749181>one dude clearly upset metaphor was mentioned insisting the artist is a robot and just so happens to talk exactly the way he needs him to >pretending to be multiple people agreeing with him when he realized he wasn't gaining any groundno wonder he came over here to cope
>>574749417Do you even realize what exactly you're supposedly coping with?Kaneko got asked what changed the direction at Atlus, which started with Persona 3, a 20 year old game. He said that the direction changed with Hashino (who directs Metaphor) rather than an internal member of the company like the CEO at the time as an example. Because fucking obviously, the direction of Atlus wouldn't change due to a game that was made 20 fucking years later.Are you being retarded on purpose or what?
>>574749562can you learn how to speak english please I know in your head you must come off as incredibly smart but you talk like a fucking retard
>>574749664>no argumentsyeah, you're being retarded on purpose. no point talking to an idiot that believes his own stupidity then.
>>574749728If you want someone to talk with you seriously which I kind of doubt at this point take some classes, learn why your entire speech pattern is all fucked up and quit putting peoples' posts through google translate

I have to wonder why atlus insists on making these games and then not saying anything for multiple years Their sales would be even higher if they just supported their stuff after launch just a little bit and didn't try to jew the universe like the persona team did with the p3 remake
