i LOVE how the archetype system works the fact that it gives you exp items if you are on a maxed one means you never have to swap into archetypes you dont wanna be on. like NOTHING has to compromise your combnat setup and its so good. and since it makes a leaf of light every 1k exp and it gives 1k exp it is 0 exp lost
@@Gettaloadofthis the game informs you of this when you master an archetype in combat i think. but yeah its really nice that it does this you can also use this mechanci to funnel resources into certain people to get them a skll they need or to raise up late comers to the party.

It's great honestly... Especially since you can then use the EXP items *on* those archetypes you don't want to use, and you can still get the stat bonuses (or necessary ranks) for "doing them."
6:52 Man I just love how much personality the MC has in story moments like this. Even in the funny lines like this one or "If we die, we die together," he has an *earnestness* to it that's kind of adorable/charming to watch. (Personal faves are 23:53 and 22:50; latter's not in the video (nor did Crystaahhl pick it) but MC has a choice to shout too, and the "Gallica, please be nicer to me" option has *so* much passion on the "please" 😂😭)
Looking at Cuculus's coat with the buttons at the back for the butt window, it probably makes sense in setting for coats to have that kind of thing so Papirus and Ishkia can fit their tails/wings through them. That's actually really clever worldbuilding!
28:02 It took me until Crystal saying that for me to get what the awakening's are supposed to symbolise. They're speaking with they're hearts... I'm currently sitting at having put 83 hours into this game how did take me this long to get it
It is them speaking (or shouting) their resolution into their hearts, yeah. That's why it's a microphone. Thing is that the medieval-like setting is not one that we usually associate with modern recording equipment so the connection can be hard to spot. It's a metaphor, you see.
That's the thing about the symbolism and social themes in Persona team games... they tend to have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face... but because of that it'll sometimes be SO on the nose that you miss it anyway. 🤣
I also said this on another channel, but given the game’s usage of esperanto in both the title and the music I wondered if the boss names also had any esperanto. The one definitive lead I found was “Jaluzo”, which means “Blind” in esperanto. This both hints at the best way to defeat it and how Johanna was metaphorically blinded with grief.
I was honestly worried that they would struggle to write these characters as friends given the games circumstances. But these goobers are honestly my favorite cast of characters. It's delightful watching them interact. Also Alonzo is the best. I adore him.
Wonder how the design meeting for the baby-looking human went over at Atlus during production. Writer: "Well, we have this part of the story where a bereaved mother who lost her child to prejudice and hatred loses her mind, so we'll be counting on you to design a mo--" Designer: "Here you go, had one ready! Giant baby monster! It cries and yells and prowls around in the dark, its beady little eyes glowing as it looks for its next victim. It devours men whole, tearing into their flesh and drinking their blood, their life essence, their life, their happiness, their all! And does it listen to their dad? Does it shut the hell up and give him a moment of privacy with his wife so he can rest after having to meet unreasonable deadlines and feel like he's alive again for a moment when he's actually awake at the same time as his wife? Noooooo, it's too busy being a little monster! 'Mama' this and 'mama' that all day long! Well maybe daddy wants an hour alone with 'mama' as well you little sonuva--" Writer: "Sounds cool thanks for the design it fits perfectly with what we needed congrats on the new addition to the familytellyourwifeIsaidhibye~! Meeting adjourned, if anyone else wants to exit faster feel free to join me on the fire escape!" Designer: "Glad you liked it! When I heard "baby" and "hatred" I knew I had a winner, hehe!" And then awkwardness causes the fire alarm to start sounding and the building is evacuated. Maybe that's why Metaphor's development took so long?
(I would apologize for mentioning P5 spoilers but at present I feel no remorse) Johanna arc connected with the Akechi brainworm because instead of a young child who lost his mom largely because of societal prejudice (against those born out of wedlock) it’s a mom who lost her child because of societal prejudice (against those born of an interracial/intertribal union), and then both of them lost it and proceeded to commit heinous inexcusable atrocities. God (Hashino) put them in separate games because they could’ve filled the void in each others lives.
*HONESTLY THOUGH...* And they both have a lot of integrity for their actions too (to the point of accepting death as their punishments), as well as determination to uphold their ends of a promise as much as they can. So it wouldn't just be filling the mother-child voids in each others lives, but they'd also be able to validate/foster each others decent qualities too 🥺 (And let's be real Akechi would've called Morris' ass out immediately and saved her and Bardon a lot of hassle)
despite having ability forecast, the fact that archetypes are tied to follower ranks means you really cant just ignore people. tho the forecast gives some priority also since everyone has a 1 day cooldown it means you tend to bounche between 2 people alot
It's definitely the best of the persona/SMT style games. I say this as someone who absolutely loved P5. It's wonderful to see the mechanics applied to a complex fantasy world and not a high school dating sim
Lets just take a second to appreciate going from... Teddie, blech... to Morgana, okay... to freaking HEISMAY. Amazing what a bit of maturity does to a talking animal character, eh Atlus?
Well it’s amazing what we can accomplish with adult characters who aren’t going through growing pains and forcing us to endure immature bathhouse antics
@@destinydivided8689 Koromaru is best boy so I wouldn't really put him in the same boat as Teddie. Koro awakened his persona to protect his master's home. Teddie grew a naked body inside his bear suit so he could score with (underaged) girls. They are not the same. Jokes aside, the problem with the more recent Persona mascots, Teddie and Morgana specifically, is that in trying to make them be relevant to the story (and have a presence) they made them too annoying and that's coming from someone who doesn't really mind them that much. Gallica by comparison is a sweetheart who has some confidence issues that she's working through and never got on my nerves in the slightest in the 50 hours I have in the game. On the other hand, Koromaru evades the Teddie and Morgana annoyance trap by just being a really smart dog. He doesn't talk and exhibits no anthropomorphic characteristics aside from his increased intelligence. He also doesn't have crushes on human girls like the aforementioned two (non-human duo) either, so the creep-factor is reduced too. Koro-chan is just a good boy!
This game has me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Im playing it blind (and am still in the end game so im not watching playthroughs right now) but i just needed to express how much i love this game. One minute im crying, another im laughing, and another im shaking with stress. This game is so good!
Yeah well this game is the biggest achievement for atlus since p5. I’m so glad the cast is mostly made of adults, it’s so refreshing. When I compare this game s level of quality to p3 reload…. Night and day comparison.
Adult characters don't make a cast inherently better, it still depends on the ability of the writer. In comparison to Persona 3 I'd say this game's plot is a lot more predictable
@@ilavain it is juvenile to judge writing by any singular aspect alone, but that is not what I was doing as I did not say this makes it worse or better necessarily, it's just an observation
So far I like louis as a villian like the fact he works alongside any race without comptempt and how loyal his followers are tells you he can"t be all bad But he is still a freaking cold-hearted bastard
He's a good villain but I've seen way better. He's honestly kinda annoying with how much plot armor he has at the start of the game. Dude waltzes in the king's chamber after the murder and basically announces he did the deed and nobody does anything? It's funny though, that's for sure. Then he gets actual plot armor courtesy of the person he killed. Mind you that the latter is more poetic irony, as he lampshades to Grius before he snuffs him, but he's just kinda Gary Stu-ish for the most part. Still he's not a bad villain. I hated him just fine so he's definitely a good part of the story, just wish he was more complex than he turned out to be. Later revelations that I won't spoil also severely undercut his "magnificent bastard" potential, but he is a very good foil for the MC and their party as well as the whole point the game is trying to make: you can't affect change alone through sheer force, your ideals will either die a slow death like the king's or they'll just lead to lashing out at the world instead of working to actually better it. You can't fix the world's cruelty by introducing more cruelty into it.
I like how people are interpreting the hearts. Microphone of the soul as @CrystAAHHL says. I thought of it more as "speaking with one's heart". This is Metaphor after all, lol.
Spoilers Regarding stuff in this video: The tragedy that is Joanna, and how she’s a foil to Heismay, has definitely been the biggest impact on me from this game so far. She’s what he could’ve become, had he continued to let his grief consume him. Heismay has started to learn to cherish the memory of his kid, while Joanna just let her grief, personified (the human baby) fester, and devour everything she should’ve held dear. And the exhibition…fuck that was rough. What more, 3 characters dying in about 3-4 hours of gameplay is crazy! First Klinger, then Morris, and then her.
Unfortunately Fakers other Skills kinda leave alot to be desired. Debuff items are very common and easy/cheap to get. Even Debilitate isn’t hard to come by.
Faker itself sucks but faker's roguery is easily one of the funniest skills in the game. It can either make a fight way harder than it should or just trivialize it, and i'm not even talking about the extra turn stuff
@@funninoriginal6054 100%. The first time I used it and got the "lost all turn icons" effect, I was already using it *on my last turn* anyways so it basically just did nothing (except waste MP I guess but that's a worthy cost for the funnies)
In regards to the follower system, I think it's a little bittersweet that there's no relationship point system. I agree with you in not needing to worry about wasting more time with wrong answers, and in that regard, it avoids a really big problem I have with Persona relationships which is the pressure to use a guide so you can see everyone's stories. But on the flip side, it also makes hanging out with characters or making the right choices feel less impactful because the mag you get is pretty negligible. But I do think converting points into something useable is nice as well. One thing that's kind of strange is taking part in events in Persona that feature characters who don't need relationship points, like Mishima in P5 who ranks as you complete sidequests. You get relationship points with him, but those points don't do anything. So the mag concept would make more sense there. I've thought a lot about how I'd want to improve the relationship point system in Persona myself. Basically, if I could set it up for P6, I'd do it like this: Relationship Points (RP) carry over to the next rank, so getting points when a character is ready to rank up still contributes to the rank after it. This encourages you to want to see all the special hangout events even if that character's ready to rank up. And from the social link/confidant menu, you can also see the total amount of points you've accumulated as well as where the next threshold is to rank up or what conditions must be met to rank up. Your total RP also increases how much XP personas of that arcana get. Like if each RP you have for Mishima makes all Moon arcana personas gain +0.3% XP or something. Additionally, I'd make all or at least most activities you do where you can boost your social stats allow you to invite people. Like when going to the batting cages, you always have the option to invite certain characters, so you can always work on RP for someone while boosting your stats. I think a system like this would give a lot more flexibility to managing RP and your relationship ranks so that it still feels easy enough to achieve everything without a guide and offers value to getting points for all characters.

Lock on to an enemy with whatever the lock on button is then you should automatically do the dash when you attack from afar. though be warned it can be awkward as when mashing you can dash to other available targets after the first hit making you sometimes run into attacks you didn’t see happening.

This encourages you to want to see all the special hangout events even if that character's ready to rank up. And from the social link/confidant menu, you can also see the total amount of points you've accumulated as well as where the next threshold is to rank up or what conditions must be met to rank up. Your total RP also increases how much XP personas of that arcana get. Like if each RP you have for Mishima makes all Moon arcana personas gain +0.3% XP or something. Additionally, I'd make all or at least most activities you do where you can boost your social stats allow you to invite people. Like when going to the batting cages, you always have the option to invite certain characters, so you can always work on RP for someone while boosting your stats. I think a system like this would give a lot more flexibility to managing RP and your relationship ranks so that it still feels easy enough to achieve everything without a guide and offers value to getting points for all characters.

CHRYSTAHHL hello this has nothing to do with metaphor BUT I really need you to play the trails series it is so wonderful and I think you would enjoy it you will probably never read this but if do just so you know I would write a 50 paragraph essay on why you should play the trails series I am very devoted FIRSTLY you like persona I like persona too I also noticed we had very similar opinions when it comes to persona (like AKECHI) you know I played fire emblem then persona then trails and playing trails was the second best decision of my life (playing p3 was the best) so I think you would enjoy trails as much as I do ANYWAY CHRYSTAHHL you have very enjoyable let’s plays and I would ADORE watching you play the trails series it is A VERY GOOD series with a whole connected world WOW SO FUN PLEASE I NEED YOU TO PLAY IT
(One thing the games so far are trails in the sky 1 2 and 3 trails from zero and azure trails of cold steel 1 2 3 and 4 trails into reverie and trails through daybreak I started with coldsteel 1 and 2 then played sky 1 2 and 3 then zero azure coldsteel 3 and 4 reverie then daybreak if you do play sky is the first part of the series then azure and zero then cold steel 1 and 2 one thing coldsteel 3 and 4 are best played after all the previous games I’ve mentioned after coldsteel 3 and 4 there is reverie and daybreak but ignore that for now SO I’ve been ranting for a while BUT I will say that starting with the first two coldsteel games then playing sky made the experience more enjoyable for me and made me appreciate it more I love sky so much but if I didn’t play coldsteel first it would have been less enjoyable so yeah just a suggestion so if you do play trails the you could try that FYI I do not expect you to read this comment.) but please do if you can I LOVE THE TRAILS SERIES AND IT NEEDS YOU TO PLAY IT

GRIFFIIIIIIIIITH
Like a bat (literally a bat lol)
I do wonder if Louis looked less pretty but still the same personality
"Escape from inside the monster. Get to the anus!"
does anyone know how she slides to an enemy to attack? I'm like 80 hours in and have no idea how she's doing it lol
Lock on to an enemy with whatever the lock on button is then you should automatically do the dash when you attack from afar. though be warned it can be awkward as when mashing you can dash to other available targets after the first hit making you sometimes run into attacks you didn’t see happening.
@helpihavebats6392 thank you so much
