Also Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is technically also ATLUS doing since Dragon studios were getting gameplay advisors from ATLUS on how to do turn-based.
I've been so exhausted with the JRPGs pumping out of the factories lately. Metaphor feels fresh, just the simple act of allowing us to smash through trash mobs without entering combat is a dream come true!
For 2 (or 3) straight years, JRPG has been great!!! And I like your GOTY entries! Even those jrpgs (Visions of Mana, Romancing Saga 2 remake... even Metal Slug: Tactics) that's a little short for GOTY are good as well to have.
Game of the year! Totally sold after the demo! They’re confident in their game to give us THAT MUCH freedom in a … demo !!! I literally have 20 hours .. in a DEMO
Casual GOTY is whatever is most popular and safe, its always funny seeing them cry rigged because their generic action games don’t win GOTY. Spider-Man 2 last year for example, this year it’s Black Myth Wukong.
@@1chibanKasugaThis depends entirely on the award ceremony. Most people default to Geoff's show when talking about GOTY, which hasn't announced anything yet.
Glad to see it getting such great reviews. I've been holding out for these to see if I want to buy it. Buying it on PC for sure! Will test it on my Steam Deck OLED and my Ayaneo 2S to see how it performs handheld.
@@elbuglioneAbsolutly agree but the normie culture still prefer the mainstream stuff sadly. I played astro bot and maxed out the game but the metaphore demo is better than the full astro bot game amd its coming from a person who even collected all bots and puzzles.
I'm getting the game regardless but why are we pretending to care about critic review scores all of a sudden? They've rated numerous titles as high and majority of gamers still didn't purchase them. We picking and choosing when to pretend to care about this stuff?
Maybe once switch 2 comes out it will be there for u guys that have Nintendo I do wish this was on all platforms but I can understand that there is literally no way this could run on the current switch definitely the next Nintendo console but not the current one
Play the long game and with enough exposure and recognition; which hopefully the largest events don’t just sideline, it will sell gangbusters. Fingers crossed but i know I’m going to love it.
I like Persona, but I'm not a huge fan since I prefer action combat in my jrpg, so Metaphor wasn't on my radar. I tried the demo and oh boy, I was immediately sold, I love the world, story (at least the start), presentation.
If this is the GA choice for GOTY, that's probably the best choice. I take this over Black Myth Wukong or Space Marine any day. Astro Bot was amazing that was almost GOTY, but not quite. LoZ:EoW is my GOTY so far as far as new games, but this may top that. M&L: Brothership is another amazing upcoming game, but will have to wait.
Glad Sega and Atlus are not afraid on making turn-based from action-based heavy generation AND this time, in HIGH Dark Fantasy setting. SquareEnix should take some notes from this (and probably also from makers of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33) 😊
As someone whos probably in the minority who isnt a big persona fan but loves SMT, Im undecided on this game. The non highschool setting has me really intrigued because Im 40 now, and am tired of playing as kids in every RPG. Im a classic Jrpg player so I guess Ill just have to wait and see
Exited for this one. A mix of action and TB combat is the way to go I believe! You please all combat lovers! Couple that with an amazing story and you got it!
Yea but sparking zero has an 84 bruh 😑 and one of the reviews on sparking zero is so dumb one of the reviews says this game is too fan service and was difficult at times 😑
I loved what I played of the Prologue Demo. I preordered the Special Edition back around late Spring and I am so glad it is highly received. Definitely Game of the Year vibes for me. Only four more days left!
Not getting my hopes up for any chance of goty but i have no doubt metaphor is one of the best this year for jrpg releases maybe even as a RPG in general.
As it should. Like I been saying, it's solid. Put some respect on its name. With a score like that anyone saying the name of the game wrong still is a hater. This been a gem since it was announced.
@@aaron3814it’s mostly getting 9 and 10 from critics. Mind what you played was only the prologue, so it might get better as the game goes on, personally i can’t wait for the full release
@@azzam-ji9fh oh it's a awesome game for sure, I had no interest in it at all but playing it completely changed that, but there's no way they're overhauling the graphics for the 11th 😅
Played 5 hours of the demo today and preordered it immediately. This game is incredible. Think Wu Kong will still win GOTY but to me between Metaphor, Echos of Wisdom and Silent Hill 2 Remake, we’re finally eating good! The past few years have been so good for gaming but this year has been so meh, finally!!
I'm not playing the demo as much but only because I want to save it for when the game actually releases I have never done this with a demo before but I'm hyped for the release
Although i loved the demo and it blew me away , unfortunately I can't pick it up yet as I'm saving for other major games. I can only get one or two major release games each year , but I'll definitely pick it up when it's on sale in ps store .
Nah, Rebirth is good but it's not untouchable good. On a personal level I prefer Metaphor but even putting that aside I would say based on the demo for Metaphor they both excel in their own areas.
@@kingdomheartsgamer8771 have you played the demo? If so I’m referring to the name thing going on alongside the things you discover in the fantasy book. It should be really interesting!!
I am so excited!!! It seems like they have done enough to make this a third pillar for Atlus!!! It seems like it has enough personality that it can create a "template" for future games in the series.
Game looks great but it will still play second fiddle to Rebirth & Astrobot for GOTY. Metaphor will make it to the podium though. Another great game from Atlus.
I had heard about this game but had no intention of buying it. Then I downloaded the free demo and it blew me the hell away! The ambition and quality on display is stunning! I knew I was playing something truly special and think it's going to go down as an all-time great! And certainly a genuine GOTY contender! I feel like Atlus really elevated JRPGs to the next level! I can't stop thinking about it and the 11th cannot get here fast enough!
@@hectorirene763 yeah I’m sure cod is going to win when half of the player base hates its guts. Also that’s called personal bias that you think it’s better. you should look that up in the dictionary it’ll prove quite useful
I think the random shape particles that float around are a little distracting. Also the Ai style “glitchy” textures make the models look blurry in my opinion. The camera shake movement is a little annoying , but thank god they have an option to turn that off. These are the few things that I found so far in the demo. Other than that I am looking forward to the release this week, but I’m located in Florida where a Category 5 hurricane is due to hit on WED/THUR, so hopefully the State is still above water when the game is released this week.
I am also going to be hit by the hurricane friend I hope you stay safe so we can all experience peak. I will not spoil what the random shape particles are but they are very important to the story and the AA does need to be applied and Nvidia on PC can force AA if it looks bad to you. Also the camera shake was in P5 but it just wasn’t noticeable because you get used to it after a little bit. Stay safe brother
In my opinion, this game is hands down the best game atlus has made. Sorry but not sorry lol. Now my bias of liking fantasy over modern day games definitely helps but this game so far is just a masterpiece

The golden era!
Glad we have atlus cause square enix is dead
Correct.
@@CrimsonBladezz Not at all.

Can't wait for Persona to be known as "Highschool Metaphor"
LOL!
It won't even I know that lol
Metaphor with Soul
- IGN
Peak is finally getting it’s flowers
I've been so exhausted with the JRPGs pumping out of the factories lately. Metaphor feels fresh, just the simple act of allowing us to smash through trash mobs without entering combat is a dream come true!
Same for me. I was sick and tired of that stuff. But after playing the demo the game got me.
So simple , yet so effective lol
94?! WHOA!!
as it should be
Part of my personal top 3 GOTY contenders,along with FF7 Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord. 2024 has been a great year for JRPG enthusiasts
RPG fans eating great this year
JRPG fans seem to claim that every year.
@@NuiYabuko I don't, and I doubt the OP does. But this year is undeniably goated for JRPGs
For 2 (or 3) straight years, JRPG has been great!!! And I like your GOTY entries! Even those jrpgs (Visions of Mana, Romancing Saga 2 remake... even Metal Slug: Tactics) that's a little short for GOTY are good as well to have.
What about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth? I’m so hyped for the Pirate 🏴☠️ one!
Congrats to Atlus. They wanted a new third pillar, and they succeeded better then anyone could hope for! Can't wait till friday
I love it. SMT, Persona, and now Metaphor.
Game of the year! Totally sold after the demo! They’re confident in their game to give us THAT MUCH freedom in a … demo !!! I literally have 20 hours .. in a DEMO
I've been refreshing my youtube waiting for this video to drop!
Haven’t been this excited for a game since fire emblem three houses
Game looks great but I know casuals gonna be mad if it wins goty
Casual GOTY is whatever is most popular and safe, its always funny seeing them cry rigged because their generic action games don’t win GOTY. Spider-Man 2 last year for example, this year it’s Black Myth Wukong.
They were mad last year when BG3 won. It'll be no different if Metaphor wins this year.
@@Mohgenstein Black Myth Wukong isnt even nominated
@@1chibanKasuga Wtf you serious? but that game was so lit.
@@1chibanKasugaThis depends entirely on the award ceremony. Most people default to Geoff's show when talking about GOTY, which hasn't announced anything yet.

All I want is little costumes for my fairy friend. 😂❤
❤
This is gonna be a masterpiece.
I’ve leveled to 24 and am ready.
The demo is that long??
@@kasiadinero1695 6-8 Hours +/-
Glad to see it getting such great reviews. I've been holding out for these to see if I want to buy it. Buying it on PC for sure! Will test it on my Steam Deck OLED and my Ayaneo 2S to see how it performs handheld.
Atlus in the same club as Rockstar and FROM at this point
Just playing that demo was enough for me. I am absolutely in love with this game. Can't wait to have this in my PS5.
Atlus is on a historic run right now. P5, P3R, and Metaphor is like Square’s stretch in the 90s on SNES. FFIV, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger
It should be GOTY but I feel like Astro bot is heavily favored.
Just the Demo is far superior than AstroBot.
For real... This is a new Classic.
The Game Awards will probably give it to FF7 but yeah I hope Metphor gets its recognition
@@elbuglioneAbsolutly agree but the normie culture still prefer the mainstream stuff sadly.
I played astro bot and maxed out the game but the metaphore demo is better than the full astro bot game amd its coming from a person who even collected all bots and puzzles.
@@elbuglione Agreed.
Astro Bot is a Sony game so.
I went to the Tokyo Game Show this year, and this game caught my attention there. Beautiful booth, graphics, art style.
Game of the year, is here !
I'm getting the game regardless but why are we pretending to care about critic review scores all of a sudden? They've rated numerous titles as high and majority of gamers still didn't purchase them. We picking and choosing when to pretend to care about this stuff?
I am obsessed with the demo. I can't wait until Friday!
And the game doesn't end when main character gets knocked out, happy bout that lol.
I’m waiting on a switch 2 port down the line.
Keep waiting but you will get xenogears of fire emblem
@@eddycraig4212 Atlus usually releases a definitive version for these SMT/Persona type games years later. So not in a hurry to try it out rn
lol
Im waiting for ps7 port down the line.
Y’all are childish lol 😂
This year has been an all timer for games 😢 let’s soak it in
I’m so happy to see the success of this game. I am just sad I won’t be able to play it on my switch
Maybe once switch 2 comes out it will be there for u guys that have Nintendo I do wish this was on all platforms but I can understand that there is literally no way this could run on the current switch definitely the next Nintendo console but not the current one
Just bough a GPU for this game❤
Finally.....Persona WITH the heart
Does the save file from the demo carry over?
Yes
GOTY
The same thing can be said for fighting games but both genres/fighting and RPGs are in a new renaissance era
Play the long game and with enough exposure and recognition; which hopefully the largest events don’t just sideline, it will sell gangbusters. Fingers crossed but i know I’m going to love it.
ATLUS, you guys are a cut above most! Your praise is thoroughly earned. Keep up the amazing work!
Gonna get this to play over Christmas
GOTY (though I hope my beloved UNICORN OVERLORD gets some loves too!) Metaphor is a brilliantly cleverly hidden P6!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ its a BUY!
I like Persona, but I'm not a huge fan since I prefer action combat in my jrpg, so Metaphor wasn't on my radar.
I tried the demo and oh boy, I was immediately sold, I love the world, story (at least the start), presentation.

Listening to that battle theme right now!
So, Matephor may win RPG of the year, but FF VII Rebirh will still win game of the year
Looks like you won your bet with RGT!
My favorite aspect is the new fantasy world and overall encapsulating story
As someone whos probably in the minority who isnt a big persona fan but loves SMT, Im undecided on this game. The non highschool setting has me really intrigued because Im 40 now, and am tired of playing as kids in every RPG. Im a classic Jrpg player so I guess Ill just have to wait and see
Absolutely love the fantasy aspect but the combat is tied for first
Cant wait for the definitive gold version of this to come to Switch 2
Exited for this one. A mix of action and TB combat is the way to go I believe! You please all combat lovers! Couple that with an amazing story and you got it!
Atlus is my go to jrpg right now...unicorn overlord,p3reload,smtvv and now methapor... their games is just chef's kiss.
“Words and stories have power!” YES SIR Gamespot reviewer sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@bubbleobill1 same but it’s unfortunate how sparking zero only has an 83 because of these dumb reviews
Choosing a weirdass nonsensical name for the game is gonna cost this one any chance of winning GotY.
Sparking zero is bouta clear this
Sparking Zero has a 83% critic score while Refantazio has a 93%. Ones a area anime fighter, other is a jrpg. Nice try diddy.
@@Mohgenstein oh so now we care about critic reviews when it’s convenient huh?
@@MohgensteinHigh ratings do not automatically mean the games are actually good. You believe anything on the internet. 🤡

Well it'll probably be the best selling. Which is really all that matters.
This is game of the year contender
Il wait for a portable version
Been playing the demo and it's the first game since Unicorn Overlord to hold my attention for more than a few hours.
As it should. Like I been saying, it's solid. Put some respect on its name. With a score like that anyone saying the name of the game wrong still is a hater. This been a gem since it was announced.
I put 20 hours in the demo one profile on normal and one on hard and I got to say it's definitely not a 10 out of 10 game 9010 sure
9/10

@@Mystra Lmao well said 5 hours is like a small dent in a JRPG that long
Do they prove exactly what you've been saying?
Usually if a game is not that good critics give it a 7. Nice to know it’s mostly 10s. Every time I start playing the Demo, I stop.
