This might be the best Atlus rpg ever. Vengeance combat is slightly better... but 20 hours in and the way they join smt press turn, classic fantasy, original ideas and the Persona time management/social elements has been fantastic. Story, combat, difficulty, characters, art direction, music and THE WORLD. All have exceeded expectations.
This game is genuinely so sick already, and i haven't even finished the video. The characters look sick, the battles look fun, THE MAIN CHARACTER TALKS. I am SO excited to see you play more!!
Who the hell is this annoying youtuber. Keeps interrupting the dialogue with his own dialogue like ppl want to hear what he has to say. Talk when there is no dialogue in game. Its like that annoying person that talks constantly while watching a movie
@@Madeen1982 oh yeah that's definitely does seem like the Xenoblade of Atlas. Xenoblade was also a culmination of a lot of monolithsofts other titles so it's poetic really.
I immediately recognized Adam Howden (Shulk's VA) as Strohl Edit: ok so I was incorrect. Stewart Clarke (who plays Dion in FFXVI) plays Strohl. Adam Howden is still in this game as a character we meet later, though
1:09:22 didn't catch it when I played through but Strohl did a Peter Griffin impression I'm really glad you convinced me to play the demo of this game, it's been a blast so far. Only 12 hours in rn, since work has me tied up
So happy I can watch someone play this without "chat" ruining eveything.... witch is Ironic as I can't play an SMT game without a guide as my time management skills are non existent.
Between the demo and the 16 hours I have. Im 25ish hours deep and around level 30. I think im 1/3 through the game at this time. It's without a doubt not only Atlus's best game they've released, not only the best RPG (Not even going to add the J, this things beats all RPG's i've played so far too besides JRPG's), but best Voice Acting/Characters/Cut-scenes/Story. This game does not pull punches on the horrors and sadness that happens in the daily lives if this Fantasy world was as real as ours. Homelessness after disaster, Slavery, Racism between the 8 tribes, and Children dying I've seen in just those 25ish hours. Full Gas, No brakes.
True. This is why I am loving the game so much. 17 hours in, and I am attached to the characters already. They really shaped up everything well for you to be engaged in the story. I hope it does until the end.
I guess I am a bit slow because I am 16 hours late and there are already 3 episodes XD That owl human thingy got SUCH a great design my lord. Atlus really cooked with the design of practically the first boss even though they didn't have to. I can tell they put love into this game.
Asking deep questions at the start... I think I like it. Gallica reminds me of Yukari for some reason. Egg like monster reminds me of the RyuRan Yu-Gi-Oh card. MC's awakening was METAL.
1:03:17 So let me get this straight. God says "hey i like this kid". Then you take your heart... literally. Then you play Minecraft. Then you cocoon into Yoshimitsu from Tekken.
First. Alright!!! Time to see what Atlus has been cooking up for... a few years decade apparently? This new Atlus title's debut... Can't wait for that IGN review. What game journalist will say. Lol. The Non-Persona, Megaten game.
So excited for this one, if you are too don't forget to show your support by hitting the LIKE button, more videos coming soon!
I was not expecting face cam for this one tbh
I know your secret 🧐
I think you'll love Honkai Star Rail cause he's also voiced by this game's MC
already did lol
HELL YEAH!
when a *_Digital Devil Saga_* and a *_Persona_* love each other very much...
And they add Esperanto to the mix!
Lmao 😂 very very much. A beautiful baby is born

And the resulting baby gets raised by opera singers
This game is genuinely so sick already, and i haven't even finished the video. The characters look sick, the battles look fun, THE MAIN CHARACTER TALKS. I am SO excited to see you play more!!
I'm ready to see John Metaphor in action
Who the hell is this annoying youtuber. Keeps interrupting the dialogue with his own dialogue like ppl want to hear what he has to say. Talk when there is no dialogue in game. Its like that annoying person that talks constantly while watching a movie
"Who's gonna specialize in agility, come on?!"
Every Fire Emblem Avatar, whose best boon is most often Speed/Dexterity:
He's back with a SMTV Vengeance
Gotta love the MC impersonation. Bro low-key sounds like a galactic baseballing trash racoon
I will take that as a compliment
Lmao I understood that reference
Bro sounds like a lion dancer who uses fire to fight.
this really Metaphors my Fantazio
Given that this is Johne's most anticipated game of the year, I'm not surprised we're getting a playthrough😊
I figured he would’ve dipped until he finished the game tbh.
I love the Xenoblade Chronicles vibe. You can't miss with that.

@@smartalecl4 I'll say, it's so hard NOT to hear an older Shulk in that one character. It's so striking haha.
Biblically accurate human: 50:13
This is comedy gold
First voice you hear is Greg Chun? Game's already won me over.
wow, the soundtrack is so gorgeous the first few minutes of this games ost made me cry.
Another day, another series Mr. Awesome has introduced to me.
Let’s be honest we were all waiting for this
The author/narrator got Isekai'd good to know
LESSSS GO OUR BOY JOHNE IS PLAYING metaphor!!!
Lmao the music is canonically in the protags head
Johne must be loving on the highest Florida mountain to upload this on time. Glad you are safe
55:02 I was wondering why they added voice acting to this particular guard. Until I realised it was Johne's impeccable voice acting
Johne is a light for the people who don't wanna spend 70 bucks just yet lol
Came in blind to this game. Only thing I saw was the reveal trailer all the way back when it came out. The Human reveal made me gasp aloud in my room.
Since the release, I could almost hear at the distance Johne frenetically playing this nonstop
Always top quality content
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the fun walkthroughs.
1:09:22 didn't catch it when I played through but Strohl did a Peter Griffin impression
I'm really glad you convinced me to play the demo of this game, it's been a blast so far. Only 12 hours in rn, since work has me tied up
peaktaphor peakfantazio
with johne "long nose" awesome
Mr. John Atlus is back with another banger LETS GOOO
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
Lets go Johne wish you the best for this series!
Been waiting for this one, good times ahead!
I've been waiting for this one!
I've been so excited for this since I tried the demo! Hope you love it, Johne :)
Hype ❤ love your channel excited for another atlus play through
The awesommest of johns
I've been dying to see what Atlas has been cooking with this!!!
AGREED!!!
@@Arcticanine Yeah!
Been waiting for your playthrough of this game, gonna watch all the way through.
So happy I can watch someone play this without "chat" ruining eveything.... witch is Ironic as I can't play an SMT game without a guide as my time management skills are non existent.
A beginning of a journey
Gives me a mix of Persona and Xenoblade Vibes with the Aussie/British accents
Culmination of Persona, SMT, DDS, and even Etrian Odyssey
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥 🔥
It’s on my wishlist whenever I get money, but when I do! First on the bucket list I promise you all.
Can’t wait for my physical copy to come in
This story is so good. Damn I'm just hooked playing this game. Glad I bought this on sale
Yey!
Knee deep in work right now but I promise to watch this the moment I'm done!
WORTH THE WAIT
johne: "so let's quit stalling and jump right in"
me: *pauses the video to go to the bathroom* XD
This, my people, is an example of not gatekeeping like Nintendo. This is the genius of using a pre-built template to conceive a new form.
I Been waiting for this video LETS GOOO!!!
So hype for this series!
I am ready to Metaphor all over the place
Johne is here with Metaphor!
IWAE! All hail Johne!!
I love seeing games that Johne has no experience in. It's always funny!

I never heard or seen this series before but it looks stunning I can’t wait to watch after I finish your p5R series (I’m currently on episode 101)
Well you're in luck because this is a brand new game by Atlus and not a part of any series of theirs.
@@DarksideGmss0513 oh really thank you I didn’t know that
@@Stay_truejhonny you're welcome
@@DarksideGmss0513 thanks
I cant wait to play it myself ): will watch more when I get to it
20:30 It's an analog for guns. Probably.
It's always a treat to see John ReFantazio play. Commenting to boost algorithm.
IT IS TIME!!!!!!!!!
I guess I am a bit slow because I am 16 hours late and there are already 3 episodes XD
That owl human thingy got SUCH a great design my lord. Atlus really cooked with the design of practically the first boss even though they didn't have to. I can tell they put love into this game.
back when i watched you play SMT4 i had no idea you would become the Atlas guy but I am glad you are doing what you love
we got the 1st battle after 50min...great one :)
HERE WE GO!!!
Asking deep questions at the start... I think I like it.
Gallica reminds me of Yukari for some reason.
Egg like monster reminds me of the RyuRan Yu-Gi-Oh card.
MC's awakening was METAL.
Just finished the game and have return to watch n like all ur playthrough. Keep up the good work 👏.
1:03:17 So let me get this straight. God says "hey i like this kid". Then you take your heart... literally. Then you play Minecraft. Then you cocoon into Yoshimitsu from Tekken.
It is here
Finally got time to sit down and watch this game. Thanks for playing it 👍👍
Watched this with my cat! Super excited for more!!
Really excited for this one.
omfg i had already heard the battle theme so i already kinda knew but this soundtrack is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Just got the game myself. Really looking forward to it.
Johne: Who's gonna specialise in agility
Me who always picks the assassin or rouge classes in an RPG: Why you saying fuck me for?
🤣🤣
johne back with another goated content
MAN this game is cool
something so edygy and fun about your heart being a microphone, like speaking with your heart!
So I watched your persona 5 and P5R vids, and now I'm onto this series. Hope it's gonna be a banger like before!
With that intro the game gives, I'm wondering if this is a game where it addresses that the player controls the characters and comes to learn that
You gonna use Healer?
Will didn’t sound fantasy so I gave him Willow
You're excited. I'm excited. Over million ppl excited to play this game! 😁🎉 Let's gooo.
Yay! Finally ❤
Thats interesting, the demo starts with a different cutscene showing that Louis guy killing the king. I wonder if theres a reason the game didnt
My game did, I was wondering the same thing
Johne was so hype about this game I had to check it out
Bro posted 3 times in 1 day. I love this guy (no homo)
ty Phoenix
Seconded
First. Alright!!!
Time to see what Atlus has been cooking up for... a few years decade apparently?
This new Atlus title's debut...
Can't wait for that IGN review. What game journalist will say. Lol.
The Non-Persona, Megaten game.
IGN gave it 9. A lot of the reviewers have given it perfect scores.
33:24 She says that like she is the one who will experience pain !
Yes my favorite RUclipsr to watch these game with
IM SO EXCITED
so happy that an atlus title is on pc at launch!
Can't wait for the upcoming 100 episodes!
A new journey begins !
New game lets gooooooooooooo
A JohneAwsome let’s play. No way!!!
Luckily I'm past this point already because of the demo. I'll hopefully stay ahead of the LP all the way through so I can catch the eps on Day 1.
The music is sooooo damn good and people were doubting it wouldn’t be smh

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER?
SO HIGH
You can feel me watching you OK that’s just creepy I mean, I played the demo. It was hard but still fun.
I killed one of the Hyenas in the starting area you get no XP for doing it.
