      Me too. I loved FF7 rebirth, but this is a pretty special game. I’ve never been interested in persona because because of the school setting and teenage dating aspect- it’s well done, but not something I’m interested in.
      But I was blown away by the unique world, fantasy setting and characters in this world. I love exploring the world and the mature themes. I also enjoy the combat, job system and relationship building but it’s the world and story that makes it special for me.

    Can we take a moment to praise how ATLUS remains wholly faithful and consistent to fully turn-based RPGs? Now with a job system too, it's basically a PS1 style JRPG but much more modern and fun. I really respect how they never detached truly from Turn-based but instead, are finding ways to perfect the style with introducing new elements meant to reduce grind and increase effectiveness. I hope ATLUS never strays from Turn-based and does a Square Enix move with FF shifting from turn-based since X (Their recent action entries, Rebirth and XVI are pretty great but god I wish for FF to return fully to it's roots one day)

    • @ltb1345

      I agree in some respects, FF16, had me scratching my head thinking what exactly square intended with the action combat and taking out almost all the RPG elements, but FF7 rebirth’s combat is one of the best combat systems in a RPG I’ve experienced.
      It’s a nice hybrid of action and turn based allowing you to balance or focus on either. It also has a lot of depth and customisation. It’s really well thought out.
      It took me a while to get to grips with it, but once I did, it became very addictive.
      I hope they continue with it. For me, FF7 remake was a game that kept the RPG traditions of previous entires, but as with almost all the main FF games, wasn’t afraid to take risks and try new things.

      ​@@ltb1345That's not true. Every game since FF7 was designed to appeal to the global audience, considering their promotions and based on Sakaguchi's interviews. Also even according to the series founder, who liked FF16, chose to endorse, has said that final fantasy is an evolving and changing series, by his own words. These games were never meant to stay the same. I don't know what you people gain from disrespecting the series creator's vision of change, so that you can get the same thing over and over again, making up fake reasons to cope with your fear of change.

They collaborated with SNL, The Simpsons, DC, Marvel and Pepsi across a three month campaign across the world. Which one of these sounds like Japanese to you.

      Also since you wanted to steer away from the core topic to something unrelated, I'll answer that as well. A global audience is a large group of people across different countries and cultures who can be reached through various media platforms. Just because you don't know, doesn't mean they don't exist.

      Specifically, the bathroom seems to raise your luck stat by +1 whenever you use it on idlesday (every date ending in 5 or 0, when all the shops go on discount). His works even if you're just chilling in town and not actually traveling on the runner.
      On the other hand, the shower seems to give 100 exp every day, and the pantry gives cooking ingredients. Both can also be done when not traveling, but the kitchen itself doesn't work unless the engine is running, so you can't actually cook with it when not traveling. However, cooking stops consuming time as well once you acquire the speed cooking ability from the healer follower.

    Only thing that I slightly miss is the romance mechanic from the persona games ... slightly. The game is amazing and great, regardless of that. Plus, the story doesn't need a shoehorned romance subplot mechanic either. Most games don't really. Though it would be a nice cherry on top. Either way, this is easily one of Atlus's magnum opus from what I played so far. Can't wait to play a bit more tonight.

    I know I am in the extreme minority here (maybe the only person in the whole world!?) but I really wish they would dial back the menus and miscellaneous visual flairs. It’s just way too much. I hate that the battle and exploration screens have that shit around the edges.

    • @Enkadia

      Hmm, I disagree on the menus and transitions, but those visual flairs like the sprinting effects, and the thing at the edges of the screen definitely not necessary to say the least.
      And I think the magla particles in the airis also too much.

    • @victorhugocostaesilva
      @victorhugocostaesilva Месяц назад +1

      I can see where things can get too cluttered (magla particles in absolutely every place can be distracting), but I still love these. It helps distinguish SMT/Persona games from the plethora of games in the market, while also enhancing the experience (for me, at least).
      That said, some options and toggles would be great. Some UI elements really feel unnecessary or don't need to be shown constantly.
      But I definitely feel these are a positive for the series, overrall. I've gone back and played SMT3 and Personas 1, and 3, and the UI feels so dry and uninteresting (SMT3 and P1 bordering on being confusing at times).

    I think many that have followed what the team have mentioned, are suprised that it turned out to borrow so many Persona mechanics, since they said that they wanted to do something completely different.
    I don't know if the initial ideas was very different and they slowly turned to what they had experience with.
    I will play it, but I would have been interested in seeing a new IP from Atlus that differed more from their previous ones.

    This game will be such a feast, but my copy of Ys X Nordics will arrive today, so I am occupied for the next few weeks. Can't wait to start playing (and buying) it after that. Persona 3 Reload was also fun, but got old eventually. SMT V Vengeance is just the same SMT V from before, with minor changes, not worth my time (completed V with 100%).

    I'm still on the fence with this one. None of the other Atlus games appeal to me, so I was initially going to skip this one. Putting it in a fantasy setting does help, but since the basic system still seems to mirror their other titles I still don't think I'd enjoy this. I may pick it up on a deep sale, but it's not something I feel like rushing out to buy. Plus, judging by Atlus' history, there will be a definitive edition in a couple of years anyway.

    I've been playing through metaphor, and while the quality is there, the story loses its steam after the first arc imo.
    I honestly feel like "the typical fantasy where you're in a tournament for the crown" like what was originally pitched would have been better. Just throw us in a world and let us fight for the crown. Make the other participants actual characters you get to know rather than having 4 lines of dialogue.
    This game hits you hard, multiple times, with the same story beats. I get IT. The world is full of inequality. You start reusing dialogue choices towards the end. Idk how many times I've said, "We'll change the world." Enough that I've been auto-skipping dialogue since returning to the capital.
    The social links aren't good either, imho. Your main party is okay, but everyone else is bland, soulless, and you'd forget about their links if the game didn't remind you that they wanted to speak with you. (Fr, skip one reminder and tell me if you remember to check their status later)
    The gameplay is fun, and the dungeons are cool, but the story has no variety, and imo, is very predictable.
    I took a break this past weekend and gave the romancing saga 2 remake demo a chance and enjoyed those two hours more than my last 25 hours in metaphor. (I have 50 hours clocked thus far)
    I honestly don't get where the story praises are coming from. This is nowhere near as deep or impactful as persona 2 or even 3s story. And nowhere near as dark as any of the SMT games. I honestly feel like it's recency bias
    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I believe once the honeymoon period is over, people will begin to sour on the characters and plot

    The battle music instantly killed it for me, personally I find it extremely annoying. And the gameplay seems like just "another Persona game".

    I must be going crazy or smt. Everybody are praising an giving it 10/10. Played 30h so far.
    I thinks the story writing is around 7/10 Good. (5/10 is average). Character writing is 6/10 at best. Party members are more or less your typical lets save everybody type of heroes.
    Choices don't matter for example when two bad guys are fighting each other. You get to "choose" either help or just sit and watch them duke each other out. If you choose to watch, your party disagrees and here we go to save the day.
    Animations (in game model) and graphichs vary wildly from good to mediocre. And the performance on PS5 is fine at best. The new combat system is much less grindy (a good thing in my books). But the job system feels lacking something compared to persona and SMT series.
    Art, OST, VA work and the anime cutscenes are of cource top notch 10/10.
    But it's more of a sidestep of SMT and P series than something revolutionary. And disappoints in some aspects. 7,5 game for me.
