Demos that transfers progress when you buy the game is genius
Honestly wish more games did it. I don't understand why games won't since the demo save data shouldn't be that different from the actual game
I'm glad game demos are making a comeback. Reviews are good but no better info on whether you'll like the game than playing.
Especially because you get to "try it out" for free, its such a good idea.
@@umbral9911 exactly!
Hell yeah. They did it for FF16 too
Auto-winning pointless encounters without going through all the slog? Amen to that! ❤
I knew you'd like that!
yeah it seems like they were trying to let players skip the tedious menu clicking routines on obviously easy mobs while preserving the brain challenge of strategy games on harder bsses
which is interesting i guess but its still a strategy game at its core
@@fattestallenalive7148 P5 did this too, but it took way too long for it to have any value cuz you had to max out Ryuji's SL. Having this from the get go and having it be core part of Metaphor's combat system while making it a real time combat system all its own is genius.
@SushiGhost97 Ryuji's social link is unlocked early in the game and it only requires rank 7. It's quite possible to get to that point before you even finish half the dungeons
It's a fantastic feature that I'm going to need JRPGs to do in general now tbh XD
These sizeable demos that pass over progress are literally the best thing to win over buyers. Why are they not more common?
Sadly sometimes lengthy demos hurt more than help sales. Granted the data that shows that is over 10 years old.
@@ScruffyMonkthat's more of an indictment on the games themselves not being good if you ask me
@@PettyCrow-n9c A lot of people are just curious about a game so if you make a lengthy demo they are not as excited about buying it unless it really hooks you in which very few games manage to do that.
Because if most people played an extended demo of a Ubisoft game for example, people would be less likely to buy as they will see through their marketing facade and ineptitude for making good fun video games.
You say that with the assumption that most games are good when, in most cases, demos will inly expose bad games before they can be sold to uninformed buyers.
What do you mean "check out" ?
Are you assuming I haven't pre ordered the collector edition ?!
FOOL!!!
Spent all day after work yesterday playing the demo. I'm big Atlus fan so I was going to get it anyway but good to have. Never took Mort as someone interested in Atlus games (I know he did SMTV but that was sponsored).
I always hate demo's because they make me lose interest in the game. Playing it then waiting weeks for the actual game to come out feels pointless for these types of games because the flow is all gone
@punani_slayer4209 That's why I stopped playing about halfway through the demo once I decided I'm going to get the game.
@@Killbomb just watching reviews and relying in the steam refund window usually works out for me. Even playing a few minutes of the demo will ruin it imo. Might just be me
@@punani_slayer4209You could wait and play the demo after the release of the full game, just before you make a decision to buy or not. That way you can continue right away, without losing interest.
Every single thing that pops up on the screen has so much flavor, as a big fan of SMT and Persona i expected this spin-off to be a throwaway but to my surprise the anime cut scenes the voice acting THE MUSIC and gameplay is simply amazing. The prologue is arguably the best the two series have yet had.
Let me know if anyone disagrees!
I would like Atlus to experiment more with gameplay in new ip’s and move away from their «safe winning» formula more often. And how other bloggers defend this game, saying that it is something different, but I see before me all the same things that I saw in their main franchises, just in a new cover. I would like to be wrong. I played Atlus games over 1000 hours and I want more changes.
The anime cutscenes aren't amazing, if anything they are a step down from p5. They are starting to use CGI for some reason and it doesn't look good when they use it.
Also despite the graphical style being on point, the graphics themselves are comparable to p5. Which is not a good thing considering that's a ps3 game.
Also Also, it's very derivative of persona and other atlus games (SMT).
Still, it was pretty fun and it has probably the best prologue of any big game the persona studio has made yet, and it being too much like persona isn't really a bad thing
Honestly I was hardly ever bored playing Persona 5 they refined their formula really well and the progression in Metaphor is an improvement even on that so far with being able to switch around archetypes between all party members and the synergy skill combinations that come with it. Having a new setting and musical style is a big difference too.
I have played Atlus games over a 1000 hours as well and I think they have done enough to differentiate Metaphor an moving away from a winning formula for no other reason than moving away would probably just be worse off. At the end of the day when I play an jrpg I want good story, combat, music, and a sense of wonder which Metaphor does everything pretty well so far.
@@lorenzosp8566
P5 is a ps3 game..?
So the one we play today on ps5 is a remake?
@@bigzachful
P5 originally came out on the ps3 and ps4. A few years later they remade it into p5 royal with extra stuff. This version was developed for the ps4 and since the ps5 is backwards compatible, you can play it on ps5
Auto-winning pointless encounters? Thank you, Earthbound.
Thank you Mort! This will be my October game, I hope it's a good one! I love Persona3-4-5!
I played the demo and LOVED it, and I am also a big persona 3-4-5 fan as well. This is also my October game as well.
I’m normally a western rpg fan, especially crpgs - but with avowed and kingdom come deliverance 2 delayed to next year this shot up to my most anticipated game of 2024.
Also, another unrelated/random game I suggest looking out for is Mirthwood, if you like the “life-sim” aspect for RPGs like persona/metaphor/elder scrolls/and Fable. The game really gives me 2D Fable vibes - its got that storybook/fairy tale kind of charm.
@@FunkyPunk1995 Thank you so much, I will check it out!
@@_george84a lot of elements in metaphor such as the press-turn combat stem from SMT, which I really recommend you try if you enjoyed persona.
The innovation on the combat alone is a fantastic step forward. Plus going a different route instead of the typical high school persona experience is double whammy!
A game that is too long for Mortim??? Say it ain't so 😁😁🌴🌴
TWO WEEKS.
I HAVE TO WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS FOR MORE METAPHOR.
0:38 Just a heads up it releases October 11th
Depending where you live
If you've played P5 this demo is basically the opening scene up till Ann's awakening
Wtf isn't that like 5 hours in?
@@endless7115 Yeah average playtime for the demo is like 4 to 6 hours
@endless7115 finished at 5 hrs, but actually u can do am extra dungeon in demi too ,well a quest
@@endless7115 exactly.
@@endless7115 Yeah lol, the demo is around that time as well.
You okay man ? Your voice sounds like you've got a cold. Take care.
Ive been sick
I'm a massive JRPG & Atlus fan and I've been incredibly excited for this game since its reveal. The fantasy setting looks spectacular and it'll be refreshing to play a different character to the usual school teen!
They took the action combat-into-turn based switch from trails into daybreak. I hope every jrpg builds upon this system
I grew up on turn based rpgs, its got those final fantasy medieval vibes, and i fucking love it. Old school at its best.
Personally excited for this game! I hope Mort will give this a shot since Im very curious on his take about the whole game. Hope y'all who are getting this have a great time!
Loved the demo, cemented my pre-order. Another Atlas banger me thinks
one of my most anticipated games of the year and the demo was fantastic. Atlus bros been eating good this year
It's really funny hearing Mortismal, a person who has built their brand on 100%-ing RPG games and especially CRPG games that are often very long, doesn't want to commit to this Persona-like due to the time commit it would require. It just shows how insane some genres and types of games are nowadays when it comes to the amount of stuff they have.
I'll definitely be playing this on release. I'm a huge Persona fan and I've wanted a more fantasy setting in their games for awhile. I'm killing time by replaying Black Myth and Nine Sols until Metaphor drops.
This is one of the best demos I've played in awhile
Oh cool, nice coverage. I'm about to finish the demo, and man, it's leaving me wanting more. Everything is pure gold. I was a big fan of P5 but I'm a sucker for a good fantasy, and i think this one will be one to watch out for.
My most anticipated game of the year!
Atlus is one of the few developers that never seem to fail - I just love their style. Could Metaphor top SMT IV as my fav? Ask me in October :)
My #1 most anticipated game of the year and the demo only made me double down on that feeling. I have an important question though: How the HELL do you use items during battle??
I hope you decide to review this! It'd be such a treat for us!
Honestly I hate that some games are being made $70 now, but this game will atleast take 100 hours to beat so I ain't too mad.
I loved the prologue, Atlus never misses for me, been super excited to play this one, happy to see your coverage Mort
Holy Crap, Atlus killing it this year. Unicorn Overlord, P3 Remake, SMT V Vengeance and now this.
@6:14 yes I am “wandering” in Echoes of Wisdom before this game comes out lol
Ooooh! I was hoping you would cover this.
literally paused this as soon as I realized there was a demo and then played all the way through it - guess I’m spending $70 soon
Really hope you have time to do a full review! Would love to hear your thoughts
Metaphor: ReFantazio GOTY 2024.
Do it Mort bite the bullet and 100% the game !
Big Atlus fan!
Happy to leave the school setting, but was very nervous as well. A formula change can be weird, but being 30, playing a highschooler is also strange.
The cool thing is the game is the same formula, but EVERYTHING is improved. There’s so much I’m excited for, but sadly Metaphor must wait until I’m done with Dragon Age 4.
Mr. Motrisimal sir, I really like your taste in game.
This looks absolutely wonderful. Medieval Persona? Hell yea 🍻 Thanks for covering this, Mort!
Very good n lenghty demo, sadly ill have to restart on restart because the difficulty i want was locked
I definitely enjoy the take on fantasy they're going with. The idea that our world (the real world) is their fantasy world is fascinating. I wonder how it'll play out.
The demo hooked me. I'm buying.
This game seems to have so much Megaten dna. I'm surprised that it's not considered to be a subseries.
🫣🤫 it might
0:29 don’t threaten me with a good time 😂
1:48 hm, sounds creepy. Tell me more 😂
It’s a shame nobody seems to be talking about this game, i was a fairly big fan of Persona 5 even though I think it really dragged at the end and I didn’t even know this existed until today.
I played a few hours of the demo and am already hooked, I don’t know how Atlus manages to put so much sauce in their games, but every second of it is dripping with style.
"Those types of games are extremelly long", he said.
All right, time for another quick Pathfinder playtrough!
On a serious note, game is awesome. Jrpg of the year! - sorry, FF7 rebirth.
I'm interested in Metaphor, but I'm hesitant because I didn't really enjoy Persona 5 Royal, which is the only mainline Persona game I've played. For me it felt like P5R was more of a schedule management game which was not very fun for me and thus I worry that Metaphor might use the same type of gameplay loop that I did not enjoy. I have played Persona 5 Tactics which was much more fun for me since it cut the schedule management portion of the game and only had gameplay and story.
How's the gameplay vs exposition %? I enjoyed persona but quit because I don't have the time to sink into endless exposition
A tame GOT mixed with Persona? Sign me up! Can’t wait to play the demo myself
My first Atlus game was P5R when it came to Xbox, loved it so much but then it went off game pass since I got distracted. Recently bought it and discovered the deno for Metaphor Refantazio, and once again the story, visuals characters and combat are drawing me in again. Which is amazing because aside from a select 3-4 JRPG's, I hate the rest.
Thanks for the impressions Mortim! I appreciate the brevity of your video too and I've grown to trust that I'll walk away with a solid understanding of the good and bad points of a game (or demo in this case). Thanks!
Oh, a demo! Thanks for the heads up, I like the design style but didn't enjoy the "Japanese High School Simulator" play of the Persona games so maybe I'll like this. Free to check out works for me.
Atlas, please let me play the game without an 1 prologue. I’m still scarred by persona 4
What you mean
I love persona and smt so the fact they've added some of that flavor with a new IP is totally fine with me.
Man I just learned about this game and I dont know how I missed it but wont get it until Christmas but sounds great! I just got Persona 5 Royal on Steam so that will be me for a long time, played Persona 5 on my PS4 when it came out so looking forward to Royal :-D
When I heard the game was 100+ hours I was hesitant about getting it but the demo sold me.
Gallica best fairy guide ever created.
Demi-Fiend's pixie is not present for 90% of the game
Amanozako is just fcking SMT V zelda annoying ass fairy
I'm excited to give this one a try. I downloaded the demo, only to get maybe 15 minutes into it before deciding to hold off and wait for the full release. I want that continuity of playing it all without a several week break in between.
Excited for this game but def gonna be a wait. P5 took me like 105 hours to beat. I can’t do that before veilguard comes out.
It's a fun demo, but all the flashing texts and highlights were too much. They really should give an option to turn that kind of thing off. I couldn't scroll through the menu without getting a headache.
Ah, Pixie at the start.
Because you have to follow the Atlus tradition.
Yeah gonna have to wait for a sale for this one. Only just got around to P3R and still got SMT5:V to get through 😅
I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while and the demo just made me more excited 😁
Are the objectives that need to be done by a certain time done in such a way that the player could soft lock themself? I really dislike time constraints in RPGs
You have become my favorite RUclipsr when I am looking for game advice!
Honestly, Denuvo is what irks me the most about this game, but what can you do, its Atlus and Sega, they had to twist their arm to breaking point for us to get their games on PC.
That being said, this is my jam. This is what I've been waiting for the entire year and I hope it delivers.
As a long-time Shin Megami Tensei and Persona fan, I am so excited for this game! I downloaded the demo last night and can’t wait to play it later.
7 hours for an ATLUS game doesn't even scratch the surface. Also, I downloaded the Demo this morning and really looking forward to it! Lastly, when are you gonna cover Visions of Mana bro?
Eventually
I like Atlus game in general so it will be a buy for me. The mixed mode combat is great tough, it has the best of 2 worlds by not having the annoyance of multiple turn battle fight when you are too strong, while still giving you the opportunity to be strategic on harder one.
Definitely sounds a lot more like Persona than I was expecting. Not a bad thing, as Atlas is a master distiller with that formula at this point.
One part of me was, ‘I don’t need this demo, I will just wait two more weeks’… the other part of me was ‘shut up fool’, needless to say, I played it and loved every single moment. I love the Persona games. They are a work of art, I don’t need to agree with everything they are doing, I play them on their terms.
Basically more Persona? Yea, I'm in.
What I thought when I first saw the trailer. "Persona but no high school? Im in!"
@@ssjbargainsalePersona 6 is basically following that same trend, you'll be in an art school instead lol
This is more SMT than persona, is a weird mix, but at least combat wise is like SMT V, double kajas/kundas, press turns.
The difference is that the new system is much more complex than persona's and SMT one
The other big difference is that you don't get wiped (finally) if MC dies
Waiting to play this when it inevitably gets the Golden/Royal/Vengeance treatment...
Atlus going from never doing demos to doing the best demo is quite a surprise
I preordered the Special Edition and I cannot wait to play the rest of it!
I'm excited to play this one to cure my post game depression from Persona 3 reloaded!
Thank you for the video. 5:14 that's exactly what I was worried about, so thank you for the heads up. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.
The demo was incredible, it got me wanting to start a fresh playthrough on persons 5 Royal while I wait out the 2 weeks for the full game now. I do wish they'd scrapped the calendar system for this one but, I'm not totally complaining either I guess. I have no doubt it's going to be my new favorite atlus game.
Demo is @60GB on Steam.
Mortismal gaming saying a game may be too long is scary lol
Loving this new take on the persona formula. New setting looks great. hope atlas nails this
Mid october to be exact lol
free comment.
Cribbed the mixed mode combat and transitioning into turn based from Trails through Daybreak.
Well, far from the first time other JRPGs take inspiration from falcom's games, and not like the reverse hasn't also happened.
You mean dq 11. They did it back in 2017
@@pghj100 no, I don't mean that. You can move around there but there is no action/real time combat like there is in Metaphor or Trails through Daybreak, in addition to switching modes the same way with stun and advantage/disadvantage.
@@pghj100 You talking about swinging your sword once to initiate combat (also done in Persona 3 18 years ago) or the ability to walk around the battle space which has zero effect on gameplay?
I love how I had this video playing on mute as a sort of background thing, and after glancing at it went "Yeah, that's totally an Atlus game, if not Shin Megami Tensei outright'. Go figure, obvious thing was obvious and my 'guess' was right!
This may very well be the best demo I've ever played
I’m so happy with this game, feels like the third digital devil saga entry we never received, and in a fantasy setting too.
Atlus games are the reason why I own a steam deck.
I just wish the game was better optimized for PC.
I don't have the best rig ever, but I was able to play Persona 3 Reload at 4k/60 without issue. But this game is dropping from 60 down to 28 fps and everywhere in between, even when I've dropped to 1440p, low settings & 75% rendering.
It's also annoying how few Japanese games offer modern settings options for PC & lack any kind of TAA/DLSS/FSR etc. I'm sure the game will be awesome, I just want to be able to play it without all the distracting performance issues.
this honestly doesn't even make sense. i cant run p3R at 4k/60. but i have no issue with metaphor on max 1440p with render 125. something not adding up with this one.
Its gonna be interesting tryna beat this game before dragon age veilguard… without rushing
Hey mort was just watching you while doing some journal entries. I been a fan for over 3 years at this point and I just bought a sticker as a token of thanks and to pimp my journal
Much love❤
I am very interested in this game, but I really hate time pressure mechanics. So I will try it out myself to see if it is egregious enough to ruin my enjoyment.
I'm really excited about this one. The Persona series is my favorite so I'm really interested to see their "evolution."
The 100% review we all are waiting for
Hey you did it. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on metaphor. Especially since I am 3 hours into the demo myself. Will you take a look at the full release, even if it might not be a 100 % review?
played the demo, proceeded to buy the game right after. Game has such a vibe , just like persona. The fantasy setting is very cool. You dont lose hours of playtime now if you die, it loads moments before. action combat for killing mobs lower level than you is a really nice idea. cool story and characters, yeah good stuff.
I was really hoping for a DND-esque since originally Atlus announced it as "project Re:Fantasy"
The real Re:Fantasy might have always been the friends I made on YT community whose waiting for it, too. 😢
I liked the story, kind of the slow burn it’s simply feels unique.
I didn’t like the anime style, I really don’t like the main character design. They should have allowed us to make our own character design especially if the character was a voiced.
For whatever reason JRPGs don't let you create your own character it's just not a thing in the genre despite many of it's protagonists being little more than blank slate self insert type characters.
