>>583154023It's official, the lack of mentions from Atlus West make me think the listings went up too early on all the different sites. Maybe intended for the anniversary in 2 weeks.

>>583341517There was no recording of the persona on either so I doubt it
https://x.com/stud_zero/status/2106684456295940192They did in fact fix the text on question 7 to take out the reference to him being 15 years old
>>583338621I wasn't planning to go to any of the sessions anyway but knowing the GOAT Keisuke can't come to the US because they waited too long to get him a visa makes me feel a little better about it
>>583346476>Keisuke can't come to the US because they waited too long to get him a visa:|i'll be honest i bought the ticket just because i wanted to hear the live rendition of warriors in valouri just hope the replacement does a decent job
>>583346213Can't believe there were idiots genuinely arguing / insisting he's 30 and that will still believe so despite there being several allusions to the fact that he can't possibly be any older than Rella at most
>>583348698I just liked the idea of him being 15 because it meant he was ultra short until having a huge growth spurt. Or even using magic to increase his height.

One big thing I feel the story did wrong is how it treated the king. The guy basically had his life systematically destroyed and it treats like a personal failing of his is feeling depressed and hopeless for it.
>>583416118Kings don't have the luxury to sit around moping with things go bad. He was a shit king.
>>583418789I wouldn't want to see the person who went through all that and came out unaffected. Most likely a sociopath.
>>583418950> most likely a sociopathThe best rulers are
>>583419116Okay, but if you're claiming that a good ruler would be a sociopath, then a good ruler would probably not have any of the idealism or hope that the game lombasts him for losing. Which is why I'm saying that the way the story treats him seems unfair, because it seems to want him to have superhuman resilience and treats him as being flawed for NOT doing so.
>>583419334Well I don't know that I think a person's politics reflect any real underlying morality as much as pragmatic considerations and prior conditioning. But even if you disagree, it doesn't change the fact that a prince, regardless of their ideals, can't set aside their duty to their people just because things don't go the way they want. A king who abandons the well being of his people owing to personal tragedy or political failures is indeed a shit king.
>>583416118I think you're seeing things from a personal-emotional sense (seeing the King as a person) and the other anon is seeing things from a pragmatic detached way (seeing him as a ruler that should adhere to their duty). I think both readings are correct, it's true that you shouldn't believe you should kill yourself because your wish for world peace will never be achieved but I also don't think that just because the King was a ruler, he should be denied what experiences as a person (grief and loss). He's the very embodiment of the game's themes of anxiety, and he was unable to have the will and drive to have that 'indomitable human spirit that never gives up', choosing to instead abandon himself (and subsequently his people).You can feel pity for him if you sympathize with such grief and feelings of hopelessness, and you can also feel that he should've tried harder despite the fallings that life gave him.
>>583420820I agree that he wasn't a great king, and I think part of that is why he initiated the contest for the new king. He was likely aware that he wasn't well-suited to the job, and a system where people choose a qualified individual would lead to a better result than monarchy.This also lends itself further to the idea that the king is being held to an unfair standard. He inherited this position. No one was there to decide that he would be capable of handling the destruction of his family and genocide, at the hands of a friend. We can sit here and say that he should have lead the country into war against its own religious leader, sure, but that doesn't really answer how he would do that, nor how he can gain the mental fortitude to do that if he doesn't have it already after all he's been through.
>>583422191Losing favor with the military generals which is why the sanctum burning was able to happen in the first place was his fault Letting Forden close the academy was his fault Letting the Sanctists appoint a state army general was his fault
Euphass
>>583453650would you love me if i was junass
Paripus sex
>>583441842In summary the king sucked. Sure he was stuck in a role he never chose himself but at that rate he'd have done less harm by running away and not keep on blocking the throne for someone else to take over. Realistically there was noone that would have stepped up against Forden but there never was a chance for it to be proven otherwise. >>583416118He let this happen again and again. Up till the elda burning you can excuse him to being still naive and trusting Forden but afterwards that was his moment to double down and take the reigns. He failed his son the most and should count himself lucky his mother guided him and all other circumstances turned out favourably. He had the power to change the system alone by invoking the royal magic. It would have been a move of a tyrant at worst but he could have proven himself afterwards. So yeah he failed constantly and never acted in any way. Even his plan with the election is something he inacted passively only when he died. Noone stopped him from starting it earlier, he didn't give many shits about the people of Euchronia. Which makes sense after all that happened but it is again a failing as a king to be this biased.
Sex the berg
>>583441842>Losing favor with the military generals You literally don't know this. The sanctum burning was something that Forden planned, the militia isn't the same as Forden's monk faction.>Letting Forden close the academy was his fault True>Letting the Sanctists appoint a state army general There's no such thing. The "state army general" is a provisional role made after his death and the current guy is just a literal puppet. Louis was to be appointed general by him, and this pissed off Forden / the Sanctists. Don't you mean that choosing Louis is his fault?
>>583467387>the militia isn't the same as Forden's monk factionThe state army and the monks both attacked the eldan sanctum, this is the real reason why Gruidae still hates More

>>583602810This is actually a good post and you have my vote.
>>583688504I don't have much hope for it at least, I haven't wanted a rerelease as bad as I want it for metaphor though, metaphor 2 will be an easy contender for my favorite game of all time at this rate
>>583710383Doing traditional horror characters to japanese myths interpreted as horror stories is an interesting idea but I severely doubt P6 will get to where P5 isespecially not in China or in Southeast Asia, one whiff of anything not comically conservative and they will both spend years pretending it flopped
>>583710383>favorite game of all time at this rateyou must not play many videogames then>>583710898>complaining about SEA out of nowhere>posts blackedshit kek
>>583710898at best it won't get the same exposure as P5, we don't need P6-kun in Fortnite. It will sell great for sure and I'm personally still elated by the general theme. I love horror and never thought P6 would end up like that. But the first trailer will decider a lot even after looking at the achievements one can only get a certain idea and I really want to hear the music.
Every P6 trailer is one trailer closer to the next metaphor trailer

This game is hard huh? Just finished that Tomb of Lament thing and playing on Normal and I failed that stupid ghost like twice. I had to look up how to beat it.
>>583840791It's not super difficult, it is harder than persona for sure and it stays decently difficult unless you grind endgame
I bought this at launch for Hulkie and still haven't played it yet because of delusions of grandeur about streaming it and "content brain" wanting to save games for that. But the game calls to me now. Maybe I'll just say fuck it and play it offline. There's no new content coming with the Switch release, huh?
>>583844024Switch 2 port is coming much earlier than a rerelease would, meaning the rerelease content will very likely be available for all existing versions of the game. It makes enough sense also since Metaphor launched on every system besides one unlike SMTVV only launching on one platform.
>>583845230>meaning the rerelease content will very likely be available for all existing versions of the gamewait what? so we *are* getting "re-release" content for Metaphor?
>>583845497of course we are, what company do you think this is just thank god they do multiplat releases now
>>583843461Yeah it definitely is harder than Persona. The lack of mana regen really is a big deal.
>>583845497No, that's the local schizo coping. This game is dead and the switch port will barely sell more than 1k

Metasex
>>583899590I don't understand why all persona fans internalized that the expansions come after like a year when that never happened even once unless we count like FES in Japan onlyMaybe it's just cope because they also think the metaphor designers should be going back to persona
>>583904341I think they will conveniently forget all of that when soejima and meguro have their names on P6, meguro they will contract for p6 and Metaphor xpac/2 easily and atlus art team isn't even part of one of the studio silos
It's funny how the metanigger ITT is a failed smtchudling that can't larp as an SMTfag due to the humilliation the franchise suffers now being for trannies and fags and has to convince himself metaphor is a chud game despite it never getting content ever again kek

Happy 2nd Anniversary!Overall an abysmal year for Atlus as a whole, they have nothing ready to show but the P4 remake and their only release this year is going to be a port of metaphor while P6 leaks straight through its pants for the 15th time. I doubt it will be very long at all before there's real metaphor news but when they decide to put something out relative to P6 is really the main thing in question

Metaphor 2 will be announced early next year

>>584142484They're not announcing anything Metaphor or Studio Zero related early next year. Atlus will be busy promoting the shit out of Persona 6. Their new game will be announced at Xbox's showcase if we're lucky.
