This game is insanely addicting because of how u can constanly unlock new things and find hidden stuff

This game was AWESOME!
Music, art and combat are great!
However i wish there would have been an option to turn the medieval stone age english off i ended up skipping a lot of the dialogue cause it was too annoyinh to read as a nun english speaker.

Still no mod support? after BEGGING for it for months in the betas????

Square Enix clearly didnt give the studio enough budget.
While the combat system is pretty solid and the character designs are nice, the animations and cutscenes are clunky af and u see they just spammed animation templates for a lot of it probably because they didnt have enough time.
Also i dont get how defenses work in this game i tried so many formations and different armour and grind like hell but somehow some attacks are just still randomly one hit and when u only have 10 lp thats not really ideal lol, bosses are often luck based as well with how they use their attacks.
I like the game but i feel like it has a lot of missed potential for a remake.

so basically
metaphor is like persona but in a much bigger scale
i feel like this game is probably gonna be longer as well
the dungeons are not like persona though thankfully, they much more resemble smt v bigger areas in my opinion
which i liked much more
performance wise : it could be better there are some fps drops, some cutscenes/character animations can be kinda weird, the art is much better for that though, the character art in this game is extremly good
enemy design is amazing too, crazy what they come up with the concept "human" lol
the combat is really solid too, and it can be quite challenging when u play on hard, it feels more like smt where rng and skills play a huge role depending on which archetype u have
it is challenging but not downright unfair unlike smt 3 as example
so far this game is actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing ngl
oh yea, the soundtrack is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ good too, i was skeptical at first but some themes ♥♥♥♥♥♥ slap
skills are the same as in persona and smt but they have different icons that fit the style of the game
and the archetypes itself are unique too, u can have so much varieties
(im 14 hours in so far btw)
and this fantasy setting fits quite well, it feels fresh


EDIT: Well i just finished the game and it was truly fantastic, i hope to expect great things in the future from atlus, thank you.

Positively surprised, this game is an actual MASTERPIECE!!!
Shame on Microsoft/Xbox Game Studios man!!!

Its 30-40 hours on hardest difficulty if u really do everything.
The story is pretty short though so i cant justify the price.
They also really messed up some cutscenes from the original like "Shadow Minato"
Regardless i still enjoyed it.

a VERY positive surprise compared to the letdown of yakuza 4 and 5 (those games were extremly boring to me)
The combat and minigames are really good. The story wasnt as BS as some of the other titles as well.

Wasted 50 hours trying to beat demi fiend just to follow some guide to beat him in 1 move at the end (which took me 30 hours cause i had to farm battle sutras and strenght incenses)
Apart from that:

This game is really good.
The soundtrack is AMAZING
The combat is fun (tho i miss some status effects like freeze and shock (from smt 3 nocturne)
The story was okay.
Side quests were kinda neat.
Demon variet is great too.
Overall 8/10

Edit: Seems u cant take demi fiend into new game +... what did i do all this for then??????

Add a trade up system like in cs2 so the items arent ♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless anymore
