Metaphor: ReFantazio

比起P5R，這作MP回復真的蠻麻煩的，只有最終BOSS關才能肆無忌憚花MP，後期就算等級高也地圖切怪不能一刀一個，許多怪還是得砍上兩刀。 前期想要MP自由擺明要用商人農魔導丸，比較好的就是羈絆培養非常有餘裕，迷宮設計得不錯，沒有P5的印象空間這麼無趣，人物也沒有戀愛攻略對象，即便有曖昧感但也沒有後續。 多職業看起來很美好，但後面的皇家職業直接無視其他職業的意義，相關職業基本上就是墊腳石，而且即便我終局農到80級，單單就主人公都還沒全原型滿級，這設計非常奇怪，畢竟你還有7個隊友，而且又有皇家職業，等於是沒有體驗其他職業的必要。 配音、動畫、音樂、美術都十分優秀，但可惜之處不少，特別是劇情，路易的故事還是沒真正交代清楚，導致他的行為非常小丑，還有議會那些人也是沒甚麼存在感。 不過這作品至少也有80分了，畢竟能把RPG做得有趣的不多了，但缺MP真的是很煩，升級不讓我回復至少讓我商店有得買吧...哎

Best of the ATLUS games. 8/10

PEAKKKKK

This is a really tough recommend. The story and worldbuilding are interesting, but I don't think that is enough to justify a roughly 60 hour playthrough for most people, especially when the actual gameplay is a more than a bit of a slog. It is your typical JRPG turn based combat, but it has a couple debilitating flaws. First, critical hits and "weakness" hits cost one half of an action instead of a full one. This means that not only are you dealing (or taking) extra damage, but you effectively get to act twice as many times. Second, almost all enemies have a handful of elements they are either immune to or reflect damage from. This is sometimes obvious (skeletons are weak to light and blunt, and strong against dark) and sometimes absolute nonsense with zero contextual clues to help you figure it out (two seemingly identical henchmen in nondescript attire are weak to different things, one to ice and one to wind, and both reflect fire??). The combination of these two things means that combat is incredibly binary. Either you know the enemy weakness and kill them in one hit, or you encounter a new enemy and had the absolute gall to have a party member with a weakness to one of their attacks, and now YOU get to die in one hit. Adding to this, there isn't a great way to know what an enemy is weak to besides trial and error. Late in the game, by advancing certain relationships, you get an ability that tells you their weaknesses. However, you will play 80% of the game without that ability, and it doesn't work on certain enemies, so it really is a sad bandaid on the issue. Making the trial and error even worse, many enemies reflect damage from certain elements. Here's an example. You roll up into a new dungeon and encounter a purple moth enemy. What element is it weak to? What element does it reflect? What attacks will it use? Most flying enemies up to this point are weak to wind, so you try that. WRONG, it reflects wind and now you are dead. Reload, try again. It's just a pain in the ass, and not engaging. Another way to put it, imagine in Pokemon that hitting a super effective or a crit let you take another turn before the enemy. And if you use an attack they are strong against, then there is a good chance that you instantly die. Also, if they hit you with your weakness, then there is a very high chance that all 6 of your pokemon are instantly dead. It sounds broken and stupid because it is. Another issue that becomes incredibly annoying in the middle to late game is the bafflingly bad system around MP. It is pretty standard fare, special attacks use MP and EXTRA special attacks use MP from 2 party members. So far, so normal. However, there isn't a great way to get MP back during a dungeon. If you leave, it takes up a day of time (which is very limited, if you want to complete everything in the game you cannot take more than 1 day to complete a dungeon). You can equip items that restore MP, but a late game item that restores a "large amount of MP" every turn restores 8 per turn, and a typical attach uses 25. And don't forget, if you dawdle in a fight, there is a good chance you die in one round. You can use consumables, but they are very limited. Can't you just buy more? Sure, a fixed quantity from each vendor. That means you have a finite amount of consumables for the entire game. And you can soft lock yourself by getting to certain late game bosses and not having enough MP consumables to complete the fight. The nail in the coffin that makes the system a chore is how it combines with the wonky combat. The numbers are just insane. If you use a basic attack that requires no MP, it does 10 damage. A special attack, that is not the enemy's weakness or resistance does 200. An attack that hits their weakness does 2000 damage and also lets you go again. All this means that you have a finite amount of MP to use for the whole dungeon. It is INSANELY inefficient to use attacks that do not trigger a weakness. Fighting anything that isn't a boss costs you MP. If you get into a fight and have no MP on the character that hits their weakness, then the fight will take 50 turns instead of 1. You can't risk getting to the boss with no MP left, so the only logical thing to do is to run past everything to get to the boss, kill them, then go back and fighting everything else to farm EXP. During the final dungeon of the game, I was running past every single enemy because I only had 4 MP restoring items and couldn't risk getting to a boss fight and not being able to complete it, potentially even soft locking myself. GAME DESIGN! Apart from the core gameplay system being weird and broken, here are my miscellaneous comments: The soundtrack is weird but definitely a bop. The one for the pagan island is especially good. There are sections of the game where you go over an hour without gameplay. Cutscene, conversation scene, cutscene, more exposition. I am all about story heavy games but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ don't hit me with the whole ass TV episode of story without offering me a save immediately before and a warning that this ♥♥♥♥ is going to be long. A lot of the late game classes are poorly balanced and worse than lower level ones. Royal Knight and Royal Warrior are both worse than the classes you have to level up to get access to them. Royal Warrior in particular is bafflingly terrible. Voiceline triggers have no cooldown and play way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ often. You can look forward to Gallica having a voice line for every single thing in combat. I am not kidding when I say they trigger so much that they overlap each other and just become noise. "HULKENBERG HIT THEM RIGHT IN THEIR WEAKSPOT YOU HIT THEIR WEAKSPOT CAPTAIN THATS YOUR OPENING STROHL HAS ANXIETY SOMEONE HELP HIM HULKENBERG HIT THEM RIGHT IN THEIR WEAKSPOT" Five seconds spent on QA would show you that this is just obnoxious and needs to be toned down. When running, the protagonist makes a little anime "UGH" sound every time you move the joystick. Calm down bro, I was just turning right, you don't need to emote. Towards the end of the game, the word anxiety gets used so much that it loses all meaning. I get it, and I get the significance to the plot. I do not need a cutaway conversation every 30 seconds where we comment on everyone's anxiety. Please, just get a thesaurus.

Upon starting to play, I basically tripped head-first into the narrative and couldn't free myself until reaching the ending. While I really enjoyed the gameplay, it was the story that held the majority of my attention. The themes of the story, the question of how "real" fantasy can be, and so many of the lines that were said in the game had me convinced that if the game had come out half a year earlier, we might be living in a different timeline ourselves. There are so many good rebuttals to arguments against bowing to power or giving in to anxiety that I think could work in real life, and the fact that the people who ignore those points and say "the time for talk is over" often lose, run away, and lie to convince others they're winning feels so real it hurts. While I think people will love the art direction, gameplay and music, I really want more people to play it to experience the story and find inspiration and reasons not to give up by finding power in fantasy themselves. This is a great game, and I liked it enough that after initially having bought it on Steam, I went to Humble Bundle and bought the special edition there when it was on massive sale to get the OSTs and artbooks for myself. I did not try any of the other battle outfits, as I enjoyed the battle music too much to want to change it.

Benim için şahsen büyük bir hayal kırıklığından ibaret bir oyun. Ne karakterlere ısındım ne de hikayenin içine çekildim. Bir "metafor" yapıldığına inanılarak üstüne değinilen "sosyal mesajlar" tamamıyla göze sokularak anlatılıyor ve bu gerçekten bir yerden sonra can sıkıcı olabiliyor. Persona gibi bir seriyi ortaya koymuş bir firmadan beklemeyeceğim bir işti şahsen. Aynı şekilde Persona 3, 4 ve 5'in neredeyse tüm müziklerini severek dinleyen birisi olarak bu oyundaki hiçbir müziği oyun sürem haricinde dinlemeye tenezzül bile etmedim.

Excellent jeu très agréable à prendre en main avec un style à la Persona tout en étant facilitant l'expérience de jeu malgré une forte identité. La difficulté peut être ajusté selon vos envies et beaucoup de stratégies sont possibles; je recommande fortement cette pépite.
