Metaphor: ReFantazio

It's not the next evolution of Atlus JRPGs like some people would tell you. It's still using the Persona calendar and social links system with a new coat of paint. Doesn't matter to me, though. There's a reason this formula has been going strong since 2006! Metaphor: ReFantazio mixes some of the best aspects of Persona and the mainline series, Shin Megami Tensei into one satisfying package. The social aspects, the deepened press-turn combat system, and an excellent, heartfelt story. There's plenty of likeable heroes and villains, Louis could easily be considered one of the best villains to appear in an Atlus game, and most of the social links are very likeable, barring a few I didn't like all that much. Visually, the game is stunning, as expected of Atlus' post-Persona 5 games. It might seem cluttered to the untrained eye, but you get used to it after a couple minutes. Even though it also uses an older game engine, and isn't completely up to par with a lot of its fellow anime JRPGs, the art direction makes up for it. One of the most stunning games I've played in a while, and I wish more games now embraced this aesthetic over hyperrealism. Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran to Atlus' SMT-likes, I highly recommend giving Metaphor: ReFantazio a shot.

I do appreciate how, the game literally called Metaphor, is literally a giant metaphor. Absolute cinema (also ATLUS DO MORE WITH THIS FRANCHISE, COWARDS, YOU'RE SITTING ON A GOLD MINE, START DIGGING)

If you're coming from persona keep your expectations low metaphor is as generic of a video game as it gets.

ダンジョンでのアクションがPS2のゲームくらいもっさりしていてストレス

Hulkenberg and Junah haven't had crazy ass gay sex yet so this game sucks

The combat is fun and gives you a lot of freedom to try different builds. It can be a bit slow at times, but overall, I had a great time playing it.

天生喜欢西幻冒险的题材，本身也是jrpg的受众（其实是阿特拉斯凯子），这游戏在我这初始分不低。 选题其实跟P5R一样挺大胆的，勇气增加了。战斗系统像真女神转生5，比P系列难一些，一直要针对不同怪切换阿基态有点麻烦，不过玩到后期基本就顺了，没有斩击抗性的boss都被兄弟两刀劈死了，有抗性的这不还有无视抗性的大狗叫嘛，主打一个力大砖飞，也是老传统了。 音乐和美术依旧顶尖，几个音符带我走进西幻世界，好几首歌一听就起鸡皮疙瘩，我是真好这口啊，有以前玩巫师三那感觉……（最喜欢的就是后期铁甲战车上那首自由之翼）感觉也能理解dlc替换音乐的限制吧。 立绘画风挺精致的，UI设计很帅，战前插入2D过场也很帅。不过服装设计我不太欣赏得来，这也是一直犹豫没买的原因，其实习惯了也还好。还有那个怪物设计是真的阴间啊！感觉比真女5阴间多了。 剧情上没有什么很明显的硬伤，前期轻松休闲，跟反派翻脸之后，节奏突然就紧张起来了，压迫感也有，节奏把控还算合理的，不过剧情这个东西接受度因人而异，我要求挺低的，P3R和P5R那臭名昭著的两位我都觉得没什么，难道我真的是忍者？还有主角团角色性格这块我真得要点名表扬你了。（兄弟我们是一辈子的好兄弟对吗对的对了兄弟你的大剑真给力啊） 下面是纯缺点： 1.建模是真拉胯。建模拉了一大坨，真得给2D美术磕一个； 2.存档慢，地图换区加载也慢； 3.前期甚至到了中期都很缺蓝，你看你这个合题的消耗和你给的蓝药数量你不会笑吗，多卖我点蓝药你能咋的？ 4.过场动画贫穷。人物会崩，帧数也低，平时看着还好，但最终决战那段，我的情绪都铺垫好了，就等你过场来个炸的，结果也是拉了一大坨，寸止了……可能是我主观上要求太高了吧……总之其他我都能忍了，这点是我最难受的； 5.迷宫设计单调。基本上就是走通道+绕路+找机关那套，没什么特别的设计，估计很多人觉得无聊，我还行吧毕竟我还挺吃刷级和捡垃圾的正反馈的。 能接受这些缺点、沉浸玩的话，这游戏倒是差不到哪里去，但短板就是很明显啊可惜了，不过长板也很长就是了。 个人xp且涉及轻微剧透：[spoiler]嗯其实到了后期就是有在幻想成王以后兄弟会向我下跪，没想到真的让我看到了，谢谢你……“只要你指明方向，我就会为你开辟道路”这比告白都浪漫啊……（并非爱情意味，老婆哪有兄弟香啊，这种信任和忠诚，相互扶持的过命兄弟拿爱情来比较都显得掉价）这个太好了，谢谢你。呃啊……[/spoiler]
