omg yeah you're right this is like what was in my head when we heard of a "fire emblem crossed with shin megami tensei" before we got............. pop idol stuff
I’m so excited for this game. It’s been a long time coming. Finally having a trailer is jaw dropping fr. It takes Atlus like half a decade to announce a game and release it, but man is it always worth the wait 😭
Im just hoping it doesn’t comes out in another 5 years of which they remain silent in the middling 3 years in which we all speculate the game just vanished out of existence Can’t do it again😭
Word! I am so happy that we finally see something of this title.. I have been looking forward to this pretty much since it was announced and even though we didn't get to see much during the wait, I think it was worth it already!
Not really. People will soon forget about this.The Persona 3 remake is far better than this. Don't forget Tears of the Kingdom and Then there's Spider-man that is coming out. It's going to be game of the year. - 😀
Never EVER stop this artistic approach. This is why I loved the newer Persona titles and the music involved. I will continue to drop cash for this type of art and entertainment. Can't wait for this!
Originally teased by Hashino over SIX YEARS ago... and hearing almost nothing about it since... Hashino, Soejima, Meguro, and the rest of the Studio Zero team did not disappoint! Having made the bangers that are Persona 3, 4, 5, and Catherine, there is no doubt this game is going to be a fantasy masterpiece ⚔🔥
I can tell you're just a Persona fan. Copying another comment about the six year development then only bringing up Persona 3, 4, 5 and Catherine when Digital Devil Saga and SMTIV is right there
@@garyparadis4708 And to think that this project has been in development for a LONG time! It was originally ''Project RE: Fantasy.'' Also, Monolith Soft has been working on a new Medieval Fantasy IP as well. Hopefully that will also be announced fairly soon.
@@The1Real1Cheese Sort of but not really.They created a new team,consisting of Persona devs veterans,and after a looong wait they are finally ready to releasw this game.But,Persona 6 is also in development and probably will arrive 2025.
You can see press turn icons at 00:40, magnetite at 00:53 and "archetypes" at 00:36 similar to the demon forms of the dds cast. This game is shaping up to be absolutely great Edit: Press turns are actually best seen in the sequence starting at 1:09, where the enemy's (red) press turn icon is slightly smaller and has an additional glow to it to indicate that the press turn has already been triggered once
The attacks also seem to be following the Megaten formula (00:41). There's actually a Matarukaja skill that likely raises all the party attack. That said if you look at the skills the "press turn icons" are actually there on top of the MP cost, wonder if actions will actually cost a different amount of turns in this sytem.
Also at 1:02 you can see that you can learn archetypes and skills, which probably means there is a class system with a relatively big degree of freedom.
@@lionofash7700 So basicly a "best of" from every single RPG Atlus has released in the last 20 years. I'm digging this a lot! And it also looks like there's a reverse Isekai trope going on. I'm all for it. Absolutetly all for it!
I remember seeing these artworks in the Shigenori Soejima's artbook, back when they wanted to make a fantasy themed RPG with his designs and it looks even better than i expected. I never preorder anything but this will be an exception.
This looks like what people expected of the crossover between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem back in the day. I love Tokyo Mirage Sessions, though.
The artwork and aestethic seems top-notch, I hope the story will deliver too. But considering the team who is working at this game, I have high expectations!
Meguro left in good terms, he doesn't have beef with Atlus, so I'm not surprised to see him still working with them even when he's no longer an employee.
I have to admit, I was thinking that game was vaporware at this point. But damn, did they prove me wrong in a beautiful manner. Very intrigued to learn more, this looks good!
There are so many amazing classic Anime Fantasy callbacks in here. Riding the sword ala Daicon bunnygirl, the super long and pointy elf ears with the small hair/fur tuft at the end, etc. It's so great to see after so much Fantasy has been falling into the same trope buckets, usually more Tolkien based, even in modern anime.
Am I the only one who gets maaaassive strange journey vibes from this? The music theme and the abstract creatures in the second half of the trailer really reminded me of that
This looks fantastic! Atlus takes a lot longer to show stuff off but the wait is always worth it. I've been looking forward for something else to sink my time into having played most of the MegaTen series. It'll be interesting if this will be another spin off series
i can see why it took so long to show something, it has so much care in every little thing - characters equip creatures - the skill system not obvious in name nomenclature of SMT or such - skating : rolling around at the speed of sound - strong aesthetic i'm intrigued
Been aware of Project Re: Fantasy since its announcement in 2016 I think. I was hoping for a more medieval fantasy setting, but at this point I'm just thankful that it actually exists. Also a nice little surprise it's coming to Windows as well. Go ATLUS
I’ve been waiting for Project RE:Fantasy news for ages and it looks great. Atlus always have great UI design and this game is no different, we already know the music will be amazing thanks to Shoji Meguro.
So this is the high fantasy project they were teasing about all those years ago. So cool to finally see it. Glad they’re keeping the Megaten spell names in there.
along with Falcom with the Kiseki series but yes. I hope ATLUS never gives up on turn based combat, unlike that other popular now totally non-Japenese RPG series
It will it'd be a massive L for them to not release the game on ps and switch when Atlus is massive in Japan and those are the two biggest consoles in that country. Plus I don't think they'd want to upset people more especially since no female mc for p3 remake
@@DarkerKnight4262 if I recall Atlus game sales are the highest in Japan so if they have the games coming out like 6 months after Xbox or something they'll see some pretty low sale numbers till it's on ps and switch. I don't remember what game it was but some jp studio partnered with Xbox and only released on Xbox and the sales were so bad they eventually released it on playstation and switch to try and salvage it. I think Atlus knows who the biggest market is for them and won't not release on ps and switch
That was really an impressive trailer. Looks like a blend of multiple amazing concepts. And it has a very unique style. There is so much to talk about this trailer. Battle system, Presentation, characters, skills learning system, etc.
@Dreikoo lol most niche games are 1 million atm if you think 1 million is good sales on systems with 100million plus players is good rip. Bloodborne the best ps4 game sold only 3 million and got be by random average games which aren't even masterpieces.
Not even going to lie. Being a huge Persona fan I can’t wait for the next mainline Persona game… but this game??? Ngl this got me just as excited as new Persona this looks 🔥🔥🔥. Shoji Meguro has done nothing but made banger soundtracks so I trust the music will be amazing too.
just because a formula was successful doesn't mean you should use it on every game. if another company would have done this I wouldn't care much about it but atlus shouldn't fall in that mass production pit
Yeah I feel the same way... from this trailer we can tell there's a calendar system, social links, press-turn again. i was hoping this project re:fantasy would've been more original
Glad to finally see project re:fantasy come to fruition. Also, based on the looks of it, this is what everyone thought Tokyo Mirage Sessions was going to be back in the day.
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw a third Atlus title being showcased at the Xbox Showcase.. I still can't believe they finally showed us something, its been so long, but I am glad I waited patiently, now I have something to truly look forward to in 2024, very excited!
OH SHIT! OH SHIT! IT'S HAPPENING! When the P3RE trailers leaked, I told my group chat "2024 is gonna be a good year for Atlus" on those and EO6, and jokingly added "We might get ReFantasy trailer too!"
Atlus. Atlus is truely one of my top time favorite game companies. Time and time again, they show thier ability to grow, adapt and keep pushing thier skills to pump out amazing games! I'm happy they took as long as they did to give us any updates on the game as thier efforts truely paid off! 😍 2024 cant come any sooner! Persona 3 Reload & Metaphor its gonna be fantastic!!!
This game seriously looks beautiful, I'm so looking forward to it. Honestly it looks absolutely brilliant! I seriously pray that this game doesnt experience the same thing that happened to soul hackers 2, this game deserves to sell super well
Soul Hackers 2 was done by different team, this game is being made by Persona studio. Soul Hackers 2 is an alright game, it's just that people expected another AAA game.
The game was mid though generally speaking. If this has been cooking for a long time then the gameplay should be good. Hopefully everything else will be too.
Really interesting art, music and design, I'm not sure on the story yet (is it about people fighting for the throne ?) I was wondering when that game would be released. The MC looks too much like the Persona 3's MC and Aigis though (maybe it's their kid ahahah). Anyway, really looks promising !
Hoping this and the other games announced get released on Playstation too. I'd love to have them physically, but I'm not getting an Xbox ever. Super excited that Project RE:Fantasy is real though. Thought it might never be more than those esoteric trailers from way back.
Does anyone know what kind of chanting is going on in this trailer song? It almost reminds me of some sort of Buddhist prayer mantras? Does this style of song or prayer have a name? It is very beautiful and fascinating to me.
Looks pretty cool, but they really could have picked better footage for the trailer, because anything that's not a pre-rendered cutscene seems to be running at about 8 fps.
Looks like a mixup of Radiant Historia, Persona and SMT, with a reverse Isekai concept... Sounds intriguing. Hopefully Hashino refrains from shitty stereotypes this time
Okay so I was really hesitant to say this cause I want to let Metaphor be it’s own thing… -Stand-like guardians -Social Links with ranks -Personal stats eg Courage, Kindness, Proficiency -Skill inheritance implies a system like fusion -Battle gameplay that looks very similar to P5 None of these are complaints btw, and I won’t see this as a Persona game (as it isn’t) but I wanted to point out a few similarities in a trailer for a game that I am really very excited for Also the quotation mark at the end of “Persona 4” is inconsistent with the others
Battle gameplay is similar to Persona, but also SMT (iirc). There might be some mechanics that are similar, like level-up confidants and have social stats, but it might change significantly if they change how the secondary gameplay loop works (grinding for social stats and confidants). What if we get them via story progression (Like what Triangle Strategy did), or you grind for them by doing quests? Also, the setting looks more fantastical, maybe an isekai. So the confidants wont be people we know, but entirely different species with relatively different conflicts and personalities
