Multiplat Metaphor: ReFantazio 11/10/24

Anyone else keen on this? I have incorrectly slept on this assuming it was another SMT spinoff but it isn't. It is the first game by the new Studio Zero (still within Atlus) founded by the Persona series director.

After seeing it again during the Tokyo Game Show presentations over the weekend this is an instant day one buy for me now. There is currently a demo available on all platforms.

Played the demo on hard, this game's pure gas, much harder than persona in a lot of the dungeon crawling and boss fights (outside of tutorial). Day 1 copped

I've been avoiding the demo because I want to go as blind as possible. Have just been eating up trailers instead. There was some lengthy game play on display during the Tokyo show too which is when I realised this game isn't what I thought it was.

Surprised there wasn’t a thread already for this. Played the Demo, getting Fire emblem and Persona vibes.

Atlus don’t miss, day 1 for me.

Don't play the demo, otherwise you'll end up with an blueball itch like me right now because I have to wait 2 weeks to play the whole thing.

This game's style is so over the top...and I freaking love it!

Although it does expose some pretty basic textures in the backgrounds and lesser characters, but not a huge knock against it.
Gameplay is super fun, I'm already getting excited at unlocking the archetypes and building up the bonds with characters.

Very interested how the daily tasks are going to be done, I haven't finished the demo yet so not sure if we get to see much exposure to that side.

But yeah, this game has GOTY potential for sure.

Absolute golden age of RPGs these last 12 months.

Apparently this game is absolutely dominating reviews. A lot of 5/5s, 9/10s etc.

Atlus further refines its winning RPG formula of weaving turn-based combat into social sim mechanics.

Another great RPG to add to the list.
