01:47:22 yes, I really did spend half an hour in photoshop changing his hair color for the thumbnail to not spoil people. LOL I really liked this frame but was hesitant to use it because of his hair
Meanwhile, I got spoiled by a superboss video. No context there, but I looked at his endgame appearance, then remembered another video from the prologue with the prince in a flashback.
I really like that Louis was the main antagonist from beginning to end. At first, I thought he would be a twist villain, where he seemed like the main baddie but was revealed to have been someone else's pawn. I'm glad that wasn't the case here. Louis was a highly engaging character throughout the entire story, and I'm glad Atlus kept him as your primary enemy.
I think the twist is the protag's motive on killing Louis. First, he is the man they must kill bc of the assumption that he cursed the prince, then, once that was disproven, he became the rival for the throne, and at last, after learning the truth, he is the man they must kill bc he threats the very world they live in.
Honestly, I had a feeling More had some kind of connection to the protagonist in some manner. It was so sweet that it turns out, the king and queen of Euchronia were watching over their son in different forms.
@@PatManDX Agreed. The only fun thing about the Divine Comedy is that it was a fanfiction that got approved by the Church and as a result ended up becoming a major influence on the biblical canon.
@@luckluca8982 Actually it did and perception of Hell is not the only thing on which Dante's work had a big impact. Purgatory as we know it in the religous sense wouldn't have existed without Dante. Prior to him the concept and portrayal of it was very different according to the old church doctrine.
This game has probably my favorite ending in any Atlus game. Its just pure optimism, nothing that makes the ending feel gray or anything. Its just a feel good ending after all the hardship.
Seems like a fitting pay off after all the bullshit. I mean the whole plotline baisically consisted of the main cast getting repeatedly kicked in the nuts for every new plan they come up with lol.
Persona 4 and 5's true endings: To be serious though i'd hate this ending if it was in an SMT game but it fits very well with Metaphor and the themes the game has, so i agree
I love how we, the player, are actually canon this game's story. An unknown hero that the king called out to in his final gambit to save his kingdom. A bit of a dick considering we'll never pass up a good troll dialogue option, but still did everything we could to help our heroes win in the end.
Hah, I like the brief stint in "Everything is an illusion" before quickly discarding it to get back to the real story, it's like the game is aware of how annoying that can be for a narrative. Now... They're definitely telling us that this crew ain't done with their travels, and I'm sure, knowing Atlus, that they'll throw them around for spin-offs. But the whole idea behind Metaphor, the novel concept with More, Archetypes etc. That can be fashioned into any story in the long run, just like with Persona. They've started a great idea, and I hope they do more with it. Also, Heismay is best cute animal party member besides Koromaru, fight me.
I believe that fantasy acceptance option to help push the narrative being that your true goals take time and effort and its best to not give up those beliefs
This is just spectacular. They learned a lot from P5R, going even more high concept with the worldbuilding and building on the "villain with understandable motives and ideals who has become far too twisted" idea from Maruki. Louis is brilliant.
thing is that the director involved has done stories with higher abstractions well before persona 5. this game just lets him dabble back into it in contrast to what is expected within persona. This is the same hashino who done smt 3 nocturne and digital devil saga series.
@@kozhcaelum8495 perhaps I phrased it wrong in that case. What I'm trying to say is while it's understandable as to why Louis hates the world as he does, he's become far too twisted and gone off the rails. So I 100% agree with you but perhaps worded it poorly.
@@kieranray5340I mean i understand his motive well. imagine when you saw your own idealism king that you admire can't do anything to prevent Elda massacres, lose his wife and even prince is presumably die. His worldviews is crushed to the ground at that point so he choose to control everything to prevent tragedy happen. If we never meet our friends and saw good in people hearts we may just broken at the end of ideals like The king and Louis
@@Jame-zz4tuLouis thought little of his tribe given how quickly he uses the prince to become a feared human though his melancholia attacks. To him, the Elda were not victims but fools who instead of looking outward turned into a vortex of a past world and lamenting on the idealists who try to change. So he sees utopia as a world where the tribes is forced to go forward with any unfortunate victims lost to the proverbial flood.
Atlus didn't really hide More's true identity before the release of the game. More claims he's the author of the novel, and the logical provenance of the novel would only be the Prince's dad or further ancestors, while the king and More share the same tribe. Louis possesses the same novel and in the opening mentioned that the king envisioned a utopia without discrimination further proving the king's relationship with the novel.
Do you think that the King actually looked like More when he was young (basically it is the King in his young years) or that he just used a different appearance altogether?
@@tomrieger7253I don't think their appearance made that obvious besides both of them share long hair with similar creamy color (Most Clemars share the similar hair color anyway including Strohl.) More says he is trapped inside Akademeia, suggesting that he is in somewhere like a limbo, just as the King's dying state. (He says in the beginning that he would be completely dead in 4 months.)
The way I see it is that Will is created with the prince’s soul, his OC character and his ideal all mixed together, hence why for all intent and purpose, he is the prince (aka being able to activate the teleporter). That also explains why the prince did nothing between Rella’s death and his death, since his body is already soulless.
Louis genuinely wasn't the main villain. It was Forden; Louis was just a slave to his own trauma. Forden really started the issues by killing the kings wife and son. Forden really was the big bad and we were left dealing with the fallout for the remainder of the story.
I hope so! I wonder if we can go down and investigate Shinjuku? Prolly some new and old cast with Will being, like...either a super boss or OP ally. Kinda like Flynn in SMT4A.
I love how the comments are exactly what this game talks about. In any case, this game is just beautiful, the story, the characters and everything is done with such love and passion that I cried for a bit when I heard the last words from More in the after credits, is just amazing to me how some people can dislike the game, but regardless, I accept their anger and differences so I can move in my life, same as how this game teaches us.
Anyone else annoyed that for the first fight with Louis it doesn’t play his unique battle theme? You go through a boss rush all with the same song, and then he has it too.
A Final Boss consisting of a half naked guy with a god/angelic like form who just wants to put an end to the world's system that has plagued the people of this world for so long. And the main character becoming King of some kingdom in the end of the story. Classic JRPG Story Telling. 22:06-Why do I have a sense of deja vu? I mean both Leon and Prince Dion Lesage from Final Fantasy 16 both fall to their deaths after fighting off a giant godlike monster during final boss fight. And they're both voiced by Stewart Clark.
Thank you for recoloring the hair in the thumbnail bc I knew I was bound to see spoilers but I would’ve definitely been pissed had I seen the biggest spoiler of the entire game lowkey
For a moment I really thought that More was saying that the "real" world was idelic and perfect, but for the protag to show that its not an utopia and not actually reality and just a fantasy really brought back the game's themes, would be kinda dumb to say that its actually our reality and its perfect
Yeah and not only with them, at the end the gang will also talk about that, heismay says that he never expected to become a dragonkiller, basilio also says things about that, i think more members say something too but i don't renember it now. I liked a lot how they added more dialogues by doing secondary missions
35:02 this is like, a moment that made me shed tears and hype up over how good it is. The novel More has written really isn't a Utopia, it's a clutch, he based it on the old world thinking it was perfect, but it was that exact world, our current world, that tore itself apart. Will realizing this gave me chills. With the music kicking in too it's just so perfect.
For the Three faces' phase, I highly recommend Junah + Eupha, Junah apply a fire weakness to faces and Eupha summon the debuffer dragon to do a lot of damages
That’s what I used. Phase two I switched Eupha out for Strohl because he had triple evasion buff. Also, if you can get Basilio’s Royal form, he has a move that applies a weakness to striking, and it’s a strike move, so as long as you don’t use any other strike moves, that’s a constant weakness to keep hitting that move.
Thank you for being one of the few people to avoiding putting spoilers in the thumbnail and title! This is not a game that should be spoiled for anybody and I’m glad it wasn’t for me.
Am I the only one who can’t get over how chad and amazing the boys are in there dash to protect the runner. Love the girls part to, but everything from them taking to the sky, chucking strohl, his line, the talk between heismay and basillio

I would say the game is like Project moon universe 1 minute you are fighting thief, syndicate, or the corporation elite forces and 1 minute later you are fighting an powerful Abnormality born from mind of humans ( mostly aspect of desire or Fear) or you will fight distortion monster born from individual who have been overcome by their emotions. here they use a fantasy take on it like those Homo type bosses, and also yet another final boss that is long and hard truly peak Atlus boss design which i really enjoy. if they make a new sequel i hope they show more those Homo type boss and a entire new region who what sort of mental state those people in that new region would have.

I would love to see a video of all Archetypes in the game with their lore pages and battle gameplay (and possibly a japanese version along side it since I would love to know their Japanese name counter parts, like here it's Warrior, but in Japan it's Fighter).
This was an incredibly hard final boss on hard and i'm glad. I managed to beat it with Prince Will, Royal Berserker Basilio, Royal Warrior Strohl and Royal Dancer Junah with Mercy Mask. At first this comp sounds unbalanced but somehow it works out extremely well when you deal a quadjillion damage every turn. Wasn't easy nevertheless but very fun.
So more is the king damn and the voice is the queen no wonder in mc combine with the prince she said a from of an elda as i once was man take me awhile to realised that
Nice, what‘s with the final boss battle against Zorba though? Do we fight him, was he transformed into a monster as well and do you happen to have that fight as well?
Man that last fight had me in tears, When i saw the final soul scream, i wanted to end it all. Why you gotta be such a lil bitch Louis lmao. Then i remembered my ace in the hole... Armageddon's last sire!
I somehow completely missed Armageddon, but I was so over leveled anyway I didn’t even had to use the gain turn icon ability. Basillio practically did the whole fight himself lol
@@nicolasalazard8080Yep, we literately been guessing thus ever since he was revealed, his appearance to Lucifer is too on the spot. Also Griffith from Berserk who falls into the same category
I ran my protagonist as support, his only damage came from the almighty attack, basillio and strohl just clobbered everything. Junah just cleansed and passed her mp to them lol
Arthur is the archetype of the king (literal use of the word, not the personas of the game). A young and inexperienced boy but with a sweet and brave heart who becomes a mature, strong and fair king.
Nah, Tyrant Star is okay. The problem is that by the time you reach him you are sooooo OP that the boss is actually you, not him. Couple with the fact that we keep getting blue balled of the final showdown with Louis, his stupidly low difficulty makes the entire ending sequence falls a bit flat. In fact, Louis has never been hard for me since you already are given bullshit tools in the midgame.
I wonder if the battle transition sound is built onto the engine of p5? I don't remember any other atlus game reusing the battle transition sound from a game from a different series

I kinda wish he gave Will a hug at the end. Dude definitely wasn’t able to do it for years now

Here to process what I just experienced. ATLUS = Peak.
I beat the game yesterday and man was this game good. Absolute cinema

LOR ending: The light was released proper, but the library itself was sent to the Outskirts due to breaking a certain commandment
PM's endings are closer to bittersweet, if anything
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 If it's for the 14 to 15 or so people involved directly in L corp (and they're technically the ones who started everything) yeah, but for the rest they're still fucked. It's grimdark taken to a literal conclusion (possibly even worse than 40k by the way) unlike this.
Watch atlus make a dlc for the kings archetypes and then gives us myriad truth in super steroid
This îs Best game i wish to play And yes. ,i wish for a sequel for this game Like metaphor 2 maybe
even longer than persona 3's final boss it seems
A great game comes to a close. What a thrilling adventure and a happy ending to this great fantasy that is Metaphor: Refantazio. Atlus, never change
I would love to see a video of all Archetypes in the game with their lore pages and battle gameplay (and possibly a japanese version along side it since I would love to know their Japanese name counter parts, like here it's Warrior, but in Japan it's Fighter).
Forden fumbled so hard his actions led to a demi-god built on nothing but trauma and rage
thank you for sharing this ^^
This was an incredibly hard final boss on hard and i'm glad. I managed to beat it with Prince Will, Royal Berserker Basilio, Royal Warrior Strohl and Royal Dancer Junah with Mercy Mask. At first this comp sounds unbalanced but somehow it works out extremely well when you deal a quadjillion damage every turn. Wasn't easy nevertheless but very fun.
the louis human fights took way too long for me, a full day of retrying, whilst being overleveled regicide is not for the weak
I want to see Alonzo's true form!
I wonder what the 2nd one of MetaphorReFantazio is about?
So more is the king damn and the voice is the queen no wonder in mc combine with the prince she said a from of an elda as i once was man take me awhile to realised that
I mean who else other than his mother would care enough to take his soul out of his dying body to send him on a journey?
Nice, what‘s with the final boss battle against Zorba though? Do we fight him, was he transformed into a monster as well and do you happen to have that fight as well?
Sorry I didnt manage to put that into the video. It’ll be in part 6! Or I’ll make a separate video about it
@@FazPersona Thanks. Can you confirm that Zorba also transformed into a monster like Louis did here?
yes!
Man that last fight had me in tears, When i saw the final soul scream, i wanted to end it all. Why you gotta be such a lil bitch Louis lmao. Then i remembered my ace in the hole... Armageddon's last sire!
I somehow completely missed Armageddon, but I was so over leveled anyway I didn’t even had to use the gain turn icon ability. Basillio practically did the whole fight himself lol
@@Freakymonkey78 Heismay basically carried for me, he dodged everything lmao
@@manutdfan231 Makarakan cheesing lol
Louis looks like helel
His entier character is a reference to Lucifer, down to the name: Louis (Cypher)
@@nicolasalazard8080Yep, we literately been guessing thus ever since he was revealed, his appearance to Lucifer is too on the spot.
Also Griffith from Berserk who falls into the same category
THIS GAME GO DEEP IN ON HOW A MAKER FEEL UPON THEIR CREATIONS!!!
50:35 He literally looks like Innocence from FF14
I really do hope they make a sequel in some way for this game cause they really did great job making it
Guess if he ever has kids
They would call them
Him the third
Him the 5th
And so on😂
So, the best build for the protagonist is a physical one, huh
I ran a magic build all the way through and it never really fell off at all, and I even made him my main dps
Magic build is really solid too but the prince archtype has an unique strenght focused almighty attack.
I ran my protagonist as support, his only damage came from the almighty attack, basillio and strohl just clobbered everything. Junah just cleansed and passed her mp to them lol
How does it feel to win this contest for the throne
The story almost like King Arthur ❤❤❤
Arthur is the archetype of the king (literal use of the word, not the personas of the game). A young and inexperienced boy but with a sweet and brave heart who becomes a mature, strong and fair king.
@@TuxDroid i wonder new game plus we can use Archetype King like Persona series we can use ultimate persona MC in new game pluss
Nope@@shingwu2481
Hello Aragorn, long time no see. I mean, Will/Protagonist.
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future”.
Nice time to disconnect your controller 😂
Congrats for completing Metaphor ReFantazio! Was the game itself very long?
I think it'll take most players 90 to 100 hours.
Now that's some Final Fantasy type shit!
Can we use the King archetype in the ng+?
Hi, would you consider uploading the save file for players who wish to start the game as NG+ straight?
32:18 yeaaah no lol
The finale would've flowed better if we just fought Louis in the palace. I was ready for it to be over by then.
Nah, Tyrant Star is okay. The problem is that by the time you reach him you are sooooo OP that the boss is actually you, not him. Couple with the fact that we keep getting blue balled of the final showdown with Louis, his stupidly low difficulty makes the entire ending sequence falls a bit flat.
In fact, Louis has never been hard for me since you already are given bullshit tools in the midgame.
I wonder if the battle transition sound is built onto the engine of p5? I don't remember any other atlus game reusing the battle transition sound from a game from a different series
Louis to me is Galerius, Shido, and Lucifer combined from Atlus games.
What do you think about game, Faz?
Was Louis "human" too?
Everyone is human but Louis is an Elda like Will
Yes. He was an Elda, the name that real humans use to distinguish themselves from the monsters.
@@huyhoangminhdo7738 i meant for monster named "human" tho.
@@tomvhresvelg9286Yes, he succumbed to melancholy in his Destroyer form. He attempted to wield an excessive amount of magic, when he became filled with insecurities about his inability to achieve his goal while being outmatched by the MC.
@@TuxDroid Louis called Will "Human", and was Elda actually "human"?
I don't understand. Was Metaphor actually a main protagonist's dream? Is ReFantazio set in the same universes as Shin Megami Tensei and Persona or not?
It not in same universe as smt or persona
@@chavaperez8445 It's a pity. I want Persona 6.
@@АсцатрянВладимир persona 6 is already confirmed to be in development won’t be long now I hope
@@chavaperez8445 I hope so too. I also hope it would be announced at The Game Awards 2024
@@chavaperez8445 Confidently incorrect, considering the game almost directly references the Sea of Unconscious- hence how Jack Frost and the others can come in
Can we use the King archatype? I'm assuming it's NG+ as per usual Atlus
Nope
For all of those currently playing the game, that's great! I hope you enjoy it to the fullest, me personally it's not my cup of tea but that's fine! Not everyone is gonna like everything. Always remember never let anyone put you down for what you like! If you like it, and you enjoy it, and it brings you happiness, you should play it! Whoever may be reading this have a great day and I hope you keep finding games that truly makes you happy!
Why are you here🤨
@@linkwolf2196 I just thought i'd leave a positive comment.
Just wanted to let you know that you are getting goat for this take
@@JosephVTBThanks!
Uh ok
So this game is pretty much ancient persona Wilders and they called them a different name
More like post post apocalypse of all SMT franchise.
Hey, is this basically part 6 or just its own thing? I'm asking because I just finished part 5 and starting this there seems to be some plot missing between this video and playthrough part 5 video? much thanks
sorry, this is not part 6. That will be coming later today / early tomorrow
Metaphor ReFantazio Dancing in Candlight/j
But in all seriousness great video! i'm way too broke to buy the game lol.
Maybe they'll have a definitive edition just like the Persona game have
1:12:37 this is Lucifer!
Atlus done again! Creating beautiful games with beautiful stories that captures every issues of this world. The injustice of being a minority, judgement towards nepo babies, and mental health? Wow, just wow. And they also added a parent's love to a game? Even Pokémon didn't have that! I love this story so much, thank you Atlus for making beautiful games, and thank you Faz for your sleepless nights that I was able to witness this beautiful game ❤ may eternal health will always be with you Faz 🥰
His name is Louis, and he looks like Lucifer, seriously?
Was it that obvious?
@@DarkAdonisVyersYea
Boss now link us the save file
Long live the king!!! 👑👑👑
Reminds me so much of Beel from Devil Summoner!!!
I don't need to complete all the bonds do I?
So makoto and akechi die and reincarnate in a new dimension...
