Hello all and welcome to the many new subscribers. 🙋🏻♀ If my voice sounds a bit funny in this video, and my eyes look a bit red and puffy, that's because it's the height of the pollen season here and my allergy is off the Richter scale. But I wasn't gonna let anything stand in the way of doing this unboxing!!! 😃 I really hope you enjoy it. Let me know how you're getting on with Metaphor, if you're already playing it.
@@xxbillybarnes I'm afraid not. Not this original one, which was distributed by Fangamer. I've had a lot of enquiries about this shirt, so I keep a lookout. I have this year only seen cheaper "knock-offs" on various sites.
There's something charming about an elderly person talking about video games and their room is riddled with merch from various games. And you're wearing a SMT Nocturne shirt. Ma'am, you are awesome.
I gotta be honest, it’s rare for me to see an elderly person be into video games, and didn’t know it would please me greatly. This is how I see myself in a few decades. You got yourself a new subscriber.
@@keip4568 This is one of the first games that I’ve been anticipating way before release. After falling in love with the games ATLUS makes, I knew I wanted to invest in a collector’s edition for once. Plus, I’ve become increasingly appreciative of physical media.
I hope you are doing well! Such a lovely collectors edition for such a lovely game. My copy comes later today, so thank you for your thoughts and opinions
If I'm not mistaken, they said making their characteristic UI is one of the hardest parts of developing the games and takes a lot of time. Being in game development myself and knowing how difficult it is, I really admire their effort.
Something about someone who looks so different from me, in the other side of the world, being basically the same person as me, makes me smile from ear to ear. These videos allow me to relate to another person and enjoy hearing them talk about something we all love dearly. So thank you so much for making these. I appreciate you so much.
As an aspiring graphic designer (and art lover), I have always loved looking at the art details like the ui, and I love artbooks. Seeing you talk about the box color scheme and sleeve while going into minor details about everything made me subscribe immediately ❤.
hey man dont call her old and make it sound so gloom, she's obviously biologically youthful and in high spirits, enough to play and enjoy games and media that actual ''old'' people wouldn't give the time of day. Old ladies look down on this type of stuff and knit, while she is beautifully youthful in all ways
Oh my! Just stumbled upon this channel and i LOVE you 😍., im 40 now, and hope i will be just as enthusiastic in my twilight years. Just fantastic to watch ❤️
13:35 let's not forget the amazing performance of Keisuke Honryo, the chief priest who does the sutras on most of the tracks. Glad he's properly credited on the album on most streaming services. ❤
Thank you for sharing this! I never get to buy these collector's editions and it's so nice being able to see what's inside and enjoy the unboxing experience by proxy. I hope you're enjoying the game!
Hey Britta! Fan from Italy here and yes you were spot on with the sticker! We have somewhat very strict laws for renting and copyrights ( even if most stores that rent videogames and movies are closed by now), so that sticker is a tag that says "intended for sale, rental forbidden" , the AI translation was correct just on the sticker our word for "intended" was abbreviated. It's also there to represent the fact that it's not to be used as a demo for paying customers, so for example, you cant set up a ps5 at a fair and have ppl play the game. This doesn't usually apply for games like Re Fantasio but it's probably there to avoid that happening to more broad-reaching games, such as football games, car games, fps etc.
I'm completely in love with your channel. You're so sweet and have such a good eye for details. Plus, it's such a joy to see someone older than me who really enjoys video games. It makes me love my hobby (which is gaming) even more.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite games. I've put 28 hours into it so far and it's pretty much all I can think about while I'm at work. Strohl is my favourite character. 😍
The game really feels like an amalgamation of Altus’ best game mechanics. I really enjoy how they brought back the old-school difficulty of their earlier games, without being so punishing if you die. I’ve noticed that you’re not able to so easily make a party that’s a perfect counter to a lot of the bosses - something is always imperfect, making the game challenging but never cheap.
Agreed!! I’m only a few hours in but I was having trouble with a group of enemies and thought “I’ve tried to kill these guys so many times… let me try this random charm item.” Which, then when the enemies turn came, it reflect the physical attack and ended the entire enemies turn. It’s simple but it made me realize that there is a lot of possibilities for different strategies!! ❤
Thanks for this awesome video. I'm playing through the demo at the moment and will probably purchase the game soon, because I'm loving every minute of it. This world is so unique and untraditional for a JRPG... I really want to explore it and learn more about these characters and this story. Another win for Atlus!
Love your style of commentary, very well-paced and informative and comprehensive, and you actually take the time to look up things you're not familiar with.
@@austinwoods466 Sorry, no - no Let's Plays. I generally don't do them. Only in 2 special cases - Ys VIII and Xenoblade Chronicles X - have I done a bit.
@@austinwoods466 This is Chronicles X (so not one of the main numbered series) on the WiiU, which is getting a much anticipated remaster/remake for the Switch in March 2025.
I reeeally wanted to get the collector's edition for this game, but it was not meant to be. Thank you for covering what it comes with! I'm about thirty hours into the game so far and having so much fun. This has been an awesome year for Atlus rpgs!
Hey there Britta from the UK! Only just discovered your channel but fellow Atlus and (J)RPG fan in general here. Lovely to see the contents (esp the art book) and I’d also never thought about “Utopia” as per your previous vid, d’oh! Absolutely loving Metaphor so far and hope you’re having a blast! Looking forward to exploring your content and hope you’re keeping well.
Awesome review as usual Britta. Last one I saw was sea of stars but your review was what sold it for me. It's nice too see someone who enjoys the things they review.
Wow I’ve never seen your channel until today! I really think it’s awesome that someone your age is into videogames! RPGs are my favorite genre of games. It’s like reading a book but better! Have lots of fun and take care Britta!
Wow, that's a gorgeous box! Your shirt is totally awesome! Thank you for sharing such a thorough unboxing video! I felt like a learned a lot and I loved your sense of humour with the teeth part haha
Very excited to continue my demo playing! As a father to a toddler my gaming time is reduced to a few hours at night, and most time I fall asleep. But the demo kept me riveted, with its awesome world building.
I got the collectors edition for this as well. The cardboard holding everything on placed as messed up, but that's about it. Everything else was top quality. Glad I got it.
very nice collectors edition and unboxing Britta. i cannot wait to play more of this game. so many people are calling it jrpg of the year and that's with a year chalk full of amazing games. happy gaming and looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the game.
Thank you so much for going through the box with us!! :D I really wished I had gotten the collectors edition but it was a little too expensive to me, so having such an in deph unboxing was kind of perfect for me hahaha This is the first time I've come across your content but I think I might have to watch more of your videos, this was really fun to watch!!!!
Yep, art deco sounds about right. I haven't seen much of the cities yet, but once I do, I think that will make it clearer. I linked an article on GamesRadar on Design Inspirations in the video description; which makes it clear that the team took inspiration from a wide range of periods and art styles!
Britta is truly the skyrim grandma of jrpgs. She has always reminded me a lot of the woman who was my babysitter and temp guardian a few times for many years rest her soul.
I'm only a few hours in to this game but it is bloody brilliant so far. I absolutely love the soundtrack, the voice acting and the animated cinematic scenes
I bought PC version launch day, since I was waiting for PC collectors to restock, so my collectors is arriving this weekend :) love your unboxing vids and hope you are loving this game as much as I am.
This looks like a great collector’s edition. I am enjoying the game so far, but I think it’ll take me a very long time to finish it. I enjoyed your thoughtful reflections on themes like identity - Metaphor is proving to be a very timely experience in terms of current world events. 🤔 Hope you are doing well, Britta. ❤
Glad I managed to pre-order one. It was originally sold out immediately then I decided to have the game store send me an email in case it's up for pre-order again. Really loving the game so far.
YES! Of course you have the huge edition lol. Congrats Britta! So great to have a new big ass JRPG that is not a sequel or spin off. What a time for games, the last few years.
@@VErnesto Yes, I thought that might be the case, I have many viewers from South America and I know they use that term a lot. It's just not something I personally am comfortable with. Thank you for your understanding. 🙋🏻♀
I was quite happy with how the Metaphor collector's edition came out! I will say I'm still bummed out that the Japanese version got a hardcopy of the Atlus 35th anniversary book, which looks really great. Hope you are enjoying Metaphor! It's been such a breath of fresh air to move away from the high school/urban aspect of Persona
I played through the demo of this over the weekend. I found the story interesting and was surprised how fast roughly 7 hours went by. I'll definitely be getting the full game when I can afford it.
Hi! Just stumbled upon your channel and really enjoyed this video! I love to see someone of an older generation enjoying the things I'm into. You give me hope that I can still enjoy those things and be cool too when I'm older haha! (all meant genuinely and lovingly) Seeing all these goodies has made me really tempted to grab this box as well (even tho I already own the game 🤭) As far as my Metaphor experience I'm having a blast with it! The classic class system with the archetypes is very fun and gives a lot more customization over your team. Will be looking forward to future uploads! Much love

I agree. Her story about how she got into gaming is so amazing and endearing :)
There's going to be countless more people like this in 30+ years. But yeah, she's a trailblazer for sure.
@@Soooooooooooonicable Absolutely will be. Gaming for 35 years here with no plans to stop 😂

Metaphor: ReFantazio is the first game I bought a collector’s edition for.
Why?

I hope you are doing well! Such a lovely collectors edition for such a lovely game. My copy comes later today, so thank you for your thoughts and opinions
Oh I wished I had the money to get this collectors edition.
I absolutely love your t-shirt!
The English voice actors are magnificent, Heismay is my favorite so far.
I agree. I usually play with JP voices; but I'm really happy with the English VA here.
If I'm not mistaken, they said making their characteristic UI is one of the hardest parts of developing the games and takes a lot of time. Being in game development myself and knowing how difficult it is, I really admire their effort.
I am not surprised at all to hear that! 👍🏻
Your extensive knowledge on the SMT/persona franchise is very impressive and appreciated! I love your videos, always make me happy

These videos allow me to relate to another person and enjoy hearing them talk about something we all love dearly. So thank you so much for making these. I appreciate you so much.
I never seen anyone get so excited about sharing fantasy ears, what a treat!

You're an inspiration. I hope when I grow old I get to enjoy my gaming like you do.
hey man dont call her old and make it sound so gloom, she's obviously biologically youthful and in high spirits, enough to play and enjoy games and media that actual ''old'' people wouldn't give the time of day.

So glad you found this gem. I've adored it thus far.

Love how in-depth you get about certain aspects of a game

😁 I was actually speechless when PoodlePa brought the box in.
@Food4Dogs Oh please take the time to catch your breath then for all of us! I can't wait to finish my second play through of Golden to get it!

Didn't spot the shirt at first but it's a wonderful touch, really
The silver sticker is Italian copyright agency sticker, I’ve some other games with Italian cover with similar sticker.
I can confirm what you said (I''m from Italy)
that shirt is so freakin cool
Your t shirt is amazing!
YES! Of course you have the huge edition lol. Congrats Britta! So great to have a new big ass JRPG that is not a sequel or spin off. What a time for games, the last few years.
