Metaphor: ReFantazio - Story Prologue | Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC 

Only thing I'm worried about is where I'm gonna get the money from for this and sparking zero when gundam breaker 4 is this month and black myth wukong is next month

Roll*

Yup playing them all on my Series X working on my new game plus play through of SMT5V

For real. I'm at the tail end of P3R atm, and have had a blast. Atlus fans are eating good.

Me too

me three. in 2 and a half years when it gets rereleased.

@@duckbyll Why is everyone so pessimistic about a rerelease? Genuinely curious, can we not enjoy the game without worrying about it?

@@mysticcorn7059 I was burned by SMTV's original release. Bought a collector's edition because I was so excited. Since then I've lost the trust i used to have in the company.

@@duckbyllI’ve played the original and rereleases of p3,p4,p5, and Catherine. I’ll probably play this twice too

It remains to see him in a loincloth.

Damn someone beat me to it!

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw him.

His name is literally Louis.... Lucifer in past SMT games went by the alias Louis Cypher, with the same exact physical appearance. It couldn't be more blatant...

I feel so dumb for not catching that 💀

Because this is not a trailer

This isn't a trailer. This is a story prologue. If this was a trailer it be what you describe in your 2nd point because that's how trailers work in general.

If it was that brutal, shouldn't it be m for mature lmao

​@@pokefanover900000000 violence in videogames isnt seen as shocking as say, nudity.

I don't think vomiting blood moments after being stabbed is particularly realistic. Not that it even needs to be

That would be a shocker

That would make the game 127/10

I think he got isekai to this world

mummy

@@ItsPapaya Louis: This was suppose to be my happily ever after!!!

Is that a Persona 4 Reference? When yes its funny we know why thats the Case.

Griffith already has video game representation this year, he doesn't need more.

@@deathbykonami5487 Miyazaki and hashino have a thing for tall blonde elegant boys.

Jesus they really stretched that esrb rating lmao literal public executions btw

Considering how much blood there was, and the way the king died, I’m a amazed that this isn’t rated M for mature.

Surprisingly this is t for teen but p3, 4 and 5 are m.

Persona has never really earned that M rating anyway, so this is more fitting.

@@corey2232 it did because of Mara. For the most part. I say 5 and 3 did deserve it besides Mara. Not so much with 4

Takaya is insane upfront so idk what you're talking about

​@@date5960persona and smt villans only appears in the middle and the end for causing the mind blow of plot twist, the only game don't do this is nocturne.

​​​@@samuelmachado8330 still, Takaya got introduced pretty early in the story so it doesn't feel right to say that he's hidden

​@@PixelPikmin oh, i was only thinking about main antagonists

@@date5960 I edited my comment you’re right. I was thinking Ikutsuki bc I hate how him being evil came out of nowhere, but yeah Takaya is definitely is the actual insane antagonist, at least for the majority of the game

"Prologue"

this it is it i think?

@@chipcinemation you mean there is no opening like smt 3 /vengcnce/soul Hackers 1/2/devil survivor 1/2/persona series/devil summoner?

@@bestgamer-1st73 OHHH like the opening sequence like persona 3 reloaded had, my bad i thought you meant in game cutscene

Mmm. No. We're going to kill God.

in democracy

no

This is only the beginning of the story, and the game is massive what they have shown we already know already

Apparently this is the full version

@@phillemon7664 have they confirmed this anywhere. And if so where? SMTV Vengeance just launched and refused to sell the DLC separate so really doesn't seem like they have changed

@@SeeinHyrule Vengeance was too much for just DLC, the new content is straight-up an entirely new, full-length campaign, independent from the original game. It was also a multiplatform release, unlike the original Switch exclusive, so anyone not playing on Switch, which I imagine are most players, were going to have to buy a full-price game to begin with.

@@Meta289 it was not too much content for dlc otherwise it would have been a standalone release and even that would have been better than somehow having to be bundled with the base game. Same with the QOL changes they couldn't be pushed to the base game apparently It sold 1.6 million copies for the base game, the best selling of any SMT game. This is just Atlus model. Even Person 3 Reload launched with day 1 DLC for the version of the game

@@SeeinHyrule The point is that the Vengeance campaign would already be a $60 game on its own, not just a $30 DLC expansion. Vengeance wasn't just the same game with some new content sprinkled throughout, like P5R, it was a full-length game in its own right.

At least they didn’t share an image of a major character dying along with some super spoilery title like “I CANT BELIEVE THEY KILLED (etc etc) along with said streamer making a shocked “O” face in the thumbnail.

because no Mara in this game.

Same here!

Get help

Blood was one thing, but mara is on another level

@@kira516 Things like mara usually don't impact esrb rating that much though 😭

persona is rated m for nudity of some of the shadows not blood

@@Oracle-ff6hx yes but blood adds onto the rating and is a reason for M ratings for many games, especially the way that went down

No.. this games also coming to PS 5/4 it's just Xbox has marketing rights so they annoyingly remove the names of the other platforms it's coming to

Fortunately no. Microsoft is just paying a lot of money to Sega for Atlus game’s to finally release on Xbox. That comes with marketing rights and game pass deals. But no exclusivity, so far.

@@sandwhichbag ah thank goodness

@@user-lw3iu7yt5g it’s persona 3 2, and 3x2 is 6, so yeah it’s persona 6

No?

This comment here is why I despise Persona “fans”

​​@@lemonlime8949eaxctly omg 🤦🤦🤦🤦 no this game is it own franchise and look at these people still demanding persona, when atlus is releasing a brand new IP

The parallels to Persona are obvious. I’m personally convinced that this project started out as Hashino‘s vision for P6, but slowly grew into its own IP due to the setting being a 180 mirror image of Persona games. What gives it away is the focus on the travel mechanic in-game. Remember that P5 was supposed to be a global road trip game at first, just like this one. They had to restrict the setting to one city early on due to budget limitations.

Challenge: Try not to compare a non persona Atlus JRPG to Persona 5 Status: Failed

​@@LesoTheGamerboyI mean... its Atlus's biggest IP. You cant not compare a From Sofrware game to Dark Souls.

@@100dayGamer Yeah I know. And it makes sense. Like you said, Persona is Atlus's biggest IP. And P5R is their most successful game. So naturally people are going to compare how the new game holds up to the Persona games and especially to P5R. But when you enjoy a wide variety of Atlus games it's really annoying when Persona (5) is brought up literally everywhere you go.

@@LesoTheGamerboy This game is also specifically made by some of the biggest creators in the persona games. It even has a calender system and from what I saw a social link system too. You would be crazy not to compare this to persona honestly

Because no Japanese company would risk the ire of Japanese players for making their game a timed exclusive on a console no one have. 3:1 ratio.

Because Atlus sells more on PC and PS. And I mean, much more.

because japanese games dont sell on xbox, sega would never allow it

Because money hatting 3rd party games timed for your console doesn’t pay off in the long run Microsoft already purchased the two largest third party developers in Bethesda and ABK they don’t need anyone else marketing deals are all thats necessary

@@ewerton8463well the last time they did that was SMT NINE, and that game bombed so hard. Mostly cause it released on Xbox exclusively in Japan, which was… a decision.

What’s wrong with it?

it sounds fine to me

@@ItsPapaya nothing wrong with it just not near as good as the Japanese VO, like many dubs. Japanese VO are just better trained and put far more emotions in their lines. it's something that goes beyond the language barrier.

@@codernerd7076 fair enough

Well, actually this is Atlus game

How?

What? In what possible way have you arrived at that conclusion?

Probably came to that conclusion because that Katrina person is localizing the game, still too early to see for sure if it's going to be a bad localization though. Either way, Persona 3 Reload was done well enough I'd say, so it should be fine.

Bro saw racism and immediately thought about usa

@@chadsenseiregardless it’s not a big deal unless you got some shadow facing to do yourself my friend.
