32:26 I just realized these lines correspond to the characters' stats in the game: strength, intelligence, endurance, agility, and luck. You can allocate one point per level so if you know what your stat focus will be, you can answer truthfully.
"I wasn't expecting that line to be so sassy!" God I felt that. There is a conversation with Gallica near the end of the prologue where I thought I was just agreeing with her and it turned out to be such a savage response in a tough moment for her haha. I wanted to reload so badly but it had been like 20 minutes since saving.
@@Foogi9000 I got to the point where they tell you how many "days" you have left around the 5-6 hour mark. But from that point you can probably still get another couple hours of gameplay depending on how you decide to tackle those remaining days. If you go straight to the dungeon, you'll have less time than if you choose to explore. So short answer... 5-8 hours?
@@blurb9319 gameplay wise yeah, it has the turn icon system and has more "get shinmegami'd moments" but has the usual calendar daily day Persona type Also Digital Devil Saga is so peak, Cielo my beloved
@@leviathan5207i have a feeling a lot of people would be super turned off by the game if it depicted some of the more violent/fucked up sides of racism
@Foogi9000 the romance was never forced except in the original P3. In the other games you always had a choice to romance or not. I 100% guarantee if they make an enhanced version of this game they'll add an option to romance.
Well, there IS an implied love interest if you go through her bond. It doesn't outright say it, but it is HEAVILY implied to be mutual love. You can't CHOOSE who you romance because, as the game makes it clear from the beginning, you are only a guide, not the main character himself. His choices are still ultimately his own.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 Yeah, the game does kinda have a canon main love interest. You can kinda play dumb and act like you don't understand her feelings, but the game doesn't give you a choice that just outright rejects them like in Persona.
@rambo32404 I have learned youtube doesn't like links, so I'll try to answer this, again. I found a picture someone put together of the entire character set and number set for the game online (search metaphor refantazio character set/complete alphabet or something along those lines, you may find something). The alphabet seems to typically use esperanto, but sometimes will use Romanized Japanese (such as for anything the Eugif write, or certain text found in the background of the memorandum) and English (also found in the memorandum and on certain documents such as the general soldier agreement). You can also find the character set when inputting the player and character's name. Directly under the input box you'll see "signaro" (lit. Character set) twice and under that is the entire alphabet. It'll say character set, again, then the alphabet and number system. You can also find segments of the alphabet on the right side of the screen when making choices during the story. I recommend learning the alphabet and number system because it's found all over the background of the game world, and it really fleshes out the different races and how they see the world they're living in. It's very cool. There's also a few Easter eggs found throughout the game you won't get unless you learn it.

16:10 what she says is true on world building. You usually don’t think of a existing person or location to make your own world, music is what inspires you. Find a song you really like, close your eyes and imagine a world based on how the song plays out.
A bit of Fact, about that guy named More, and yeah, he is based from the author. Thomas more, the Author of the book Utopia, a book containing idealized societies... And lot more...

Actual spoiler, everyone is a human actually but just with rapid mutations due to magla. Elda are actual straight up humans with no mutations. Human enemies are humans transformed horribly due to war and stuff.
that was so funny to watch lol :D also i never really got into jrpgs but holy shit this game got me hooked right from the start my biggest gaming surprise this year
Watching Sid be silly and just blend into the background on her phone for ages was so cute. "I want to be with my hubby, but I'm not here, teehee". You two just make me smile.

Atlus is legit the only studio left where i don't need to play a demo and can just buy the game on release knowing it will be good. Thanks for picking the dialogue options i couldnt bring myself to pick XD Cat distribution system never fails!
i feel like this game is better off without romance, lets you focus more on the story and the companionship instead of just getting super flirty with every girl

There's a Demo, it's quite lengthy too.
demo covers until july 7th ingame.... thats quite lenghty tbh

What is the biggest metaphor on Metaphor?
Characters awaken by speaking from the heart. Their heart is literally a microphone to shout their determination and throw aside their anxiety.

It makes me very happy to see the isekai man play the isekai game.
Garnt missing a stat increase because he was trying to be entertaining was peak twitch
Oh Sydney you dont had no idea of all thr revelations in this game
tiny spoiler but in metaphor, every nonhuman is human and every human is monsters.
When I got to that point, the sheer metaness of calling monsters Humans already piqued my interest in how the story will unfold
Watch the 4th dimension by Carl Sagan video. It explains why humans are seen as monsters by the fantasy characters in the game.

is Gigguk still playing Trails offstream? I wanna know how far is he at

Now he is hooked to Elden Ring...
Kind of wonder if he enjoys that more.

Normal seems too easy, hard mode is you need to be optimal every turn, you will lose a lot of hp if you will not finish early.

Sega really likes sponsoring TH-camrs to play their games huh. They did the same with Persona and Yakuza.
