6:49 My favorite part about the Awakenings in Metaphor is that they're "speaking from the heart" or "pouring/screaming their heart out" Except for the Protagonist, of course. That is like the one grain of sand in a bucket of delicious clams; despite being a voiced protagonist, we don't get an awesome Awakening from him. It would have been so cool if ATLUS had leveraged that to make the MC's emotional connection to the Prince more... raw, I guess. They were the best of friends, and even if there's a terrifying monster before him, the MC can't bear to watch helplessly as yet another friend collapses before him.
From what I can tell his awakening is simply meant to be the snowball that starts the avalanche. As opposed to Persona which is a power that really anyone can unlock, Archetype is a powerful primordial form of magic that lends itself only to the worthy (I.e. anyone who befriends or is an ally of The Fool aka The Seeker). The protagonist may have a reawakening type moment at some point as a lot of Atlus protagonists have so that may be when he’s face to face with Louis Guibern and will be when he will have a major reawakening
The end of this demo does have a way to grind but also has a 3 day time limit (persona style) so without spoiling anything you would have to look that up. Someone on reddit made a really straightforward guide to it. So it just depends on if you want to be regular power on full release or super op lol
Amazing game so far and I'm happy that they stick to what they do best, would be interesting Purpl if you made a video about "things to do before the release" I'm certain that I have missed certain things or did things wrong to get a perfect start
Archetypes are easily more like FF jobs. Because each character can learn an archetype abd each archetype reaquires different weapon. I am not sure if archetypes share weapons, i kinda hope they do.
I’m assuming the archetype lineages will share weapons, such as Seeker and Soul Hacker would use the same category of weapons. Different lineages will use different weapons as you can see already with how we have access to a few lineages
@GilgaMax305 you say no shit but last I heard that he wernt to sure if it was for ps so I commented on this just in case ppl dint know so it not so obvious to everyone you know
@@stupid3814 the gameplay is just Persona turns with some superficial gimmicks laid over it. The visual noisiness of the presentation takes away from the battle flow too. No reason to stretch and distort text that you need to read when in the middle of a fight. It's undisciplined.
@@mikeyj.philly peoples cant even focus shit on the screen nowadays i guess. And complain about the gameplay is like playing elden ring and asked why it plays just like darksouls with a jump button. But yeah, not every game is meant for everyone.
@@stupid3814 there was a jump button and Jump mechics with ground I frames that were used in many boss fights, a crouch/stealth system useable in many situations, an open world which has not been done in a souls game, there was a summon system which wasn't in souls with decent AI, there was environmental damage multipliers based on weather, dynamic AI vs AI scenarios which hadn't been in souls games etc. Elden Ring is a bad example fam. There was a shitload of new stuff that improved on the Souls formula.

I was waiting for you to make a clip - It’s great! Can’t wait for the game to come out! 🔥🔥🔥

Hyped you’re playing this

i have a hard time getting into persona cause im not a big fan of the highschool setting, fantasy is so much better and im loving it so far.
I love Persona but I understand 100%
same thats why i never bought it and downloaded it free then soon as i played a little id uninstall but love the combat.
GOTY!

I like how the archetypes also change your weapon in the field.
The demo is also out for ps4 and ps5
No shit

I would relate archetypes more to a job class system then persona. It's just visually similar to persona
I started the demo beat the first boss and its fun. I love it but currently stil not better than smtv.
@@minakoarisato1506 i got suoer board of smtv I'm hoping this games story and side content keeps me hooked
Charging 70€ for a PS3 graphics game in 2024.
Exactly my thoughts. Played one of these games and you've played em alll
Imagine playing video games for graphics
