Hear me out, sequel with Maria as the main character on her own journey
Honestly I was thinking the same thing. Especially since Will took Maria with the group on the gauntlet runner in the end. Plus she was one of the first bonds we forge in the game. If the next project in the universe were to star anyone else I would love it to be her.
Problem is that she is way too young and have no experience with Archetypes, let alone fighting. The only way I can see her as party member is for her to be older. And that means making the other characters older. I can only see this work if Metaphor does go down the Trails route JMulls was talking about.
@@TheJaredPunchYeah that was what I was thinking maybe a sequel set a few years in the future when she is older she learns of archetypes from Will and the others. Then goes on her own adventure.
And it sounds like there’s other landmasses out there somewhere. She did mention going where they haven’t.
Thought the SAME thing! Just timeskip it like a decade, have her two friends she made during her bond quest with her and go from there!
The problem with making a story with the same cast is, as you say. The main charachter's arc is complete. The closest thing I can think of is a spin-off with Catharina and/or Alfonso, where you play as spies for the military and take down a potential enemy that wants to invade.
A sequel focusing on Maria would be neat, but that begs the question... How long would that time skip be because what clearly looks like a 10-year-old top is not suited to go on adventures alone? And if you do a time jump, and I hate to bring that one up.. it does not change the fact that considering Will (which is, by the looks of it, the canon name since it's the default in Japanese and they use that name in the manga) became king and all, do you make a "ship" canon for him by then? A king needs an heir, but we all know that Atlus is not keen on making canon ships, even if there is an argument to be made that they push some more than others. However, I will be one of the first to credit Atlus if they have the guts to do one for once.
The best way is to do the Final Fantasy/Fire Emblem route, in my opinion. Do individual stories set in their own worlds with a new set of characters.
I thought the game makes ot clear that Eupha is the main love interest. Will evens admits to by the end of her social link
@toledochristianmatthew9919 That I do agree on.
Personally, I think I'd want a prequel set maybe shortly after the fall of the old world, or a game with the orignal archetype users, for example. The game gave us a lot of lore that I would love to see explored or expanded upon
The Metaphor series has boundless potential. It’s got great world building but there’s still much left unanswered, not just about the cataclysm in the past but also about countries outside of the United Kingdom of Euchronia (UKE). Whatever comes next, I’m looking forward to it.
Personally, I would love an epilogue that includes guest characters from the follower list. Like, I could totally see and escort mission with Maria in which she applies healing, or Katherina as an actual playable character; I still theorize that she will be a playable character if the game has an enhanced re-release.
Instead of the manifesting their archetypes, that could have their own abilities but realized due to exposure to the prince. Can you imagine Neuras straight up whipping out a bazooka-like invention and raining cannonballs in field battles? Or Barden buffing or creating formations that act is its own mini game due to the RNG? Or Alonzo casting debilitate on a boss? Or Brigitta casting all mighty spells and coin attacks? I am literally only on the final dungeon and my imagination is going wild.
Heffty spoliers:
This might sound a little mean spirited, but I kinda want any sequel/spin off game to touch how the main cast might be wrong. I primarily point at magic vs igniters. To greatly over summarize, magic does lead to more freedom, but also has the chance to backfire and make people into humans. Igniters are weaker, but don't have such dangerous drawbacks. Even the game said that the church was not wrong in pushing the igniters, it just that the people at the head do what all people with power do: become corrupt.
I can see their being about 3 factions popping up: the Mage college that wants to keep studying magic so that they can truly master it and eliminate the chance to become human, but would likely leave a trail of bodies in their wake (Our Five-head friend can't live forever, she will eventually be replaced ). Second is the reformed church, cause after the saintess sacrificed herself, it had a cooling effect on some of the radicals in the clergy (the military monk would likely be its head), last one are people that are want nothing to do with magic and after a few more human attacks, become extremists trying to stop the study of magic, and might even restrict the use of igniters.
The game tackles the worries of the masses, so something so society shifting would be a perfect backdrop.
Yeah. That ia problem with the game. Like it feels one sided that the church is responsible for everything wrong and despite that, they were in the right for limiting magic to prevent humans and the abuse of magic. The game does not shine enough light on the flaws of the other factions like the mage college and pagans (i am appalled with how they had basically performed ritualistic sacrifices on countless priestesses before Eupha and there was little conflict after eht ria).
@@toledochristianmatthew9919 The church is responsible for everything wrong, Forden actually sent a child to go murder a child because the prince was mixed race wtf are you on about.
I think this should be a one and done but I would love to see other stories told in this universe like what if we explore another continent or in the far flung future
I just want to see their next full game be something completely new and different after this, ideally in a different genre, maybe a historical drama like the French Revolution in the Atlus Persona style.
I would like to see some DLC where maybe Forden returns and you get to fight him as a boss or maybe a boss-rush where get to fight demons from the SMT series with cameos of other characters from other titles. Such as Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Raido Kuzonoha, Nocturne and SMT V.
Let's be real, it's Going to be a metaphor reload/royal/vengeance
Metaphor: ReFantazio Rewritten
@@TheLostSheep578 God damn that's a good name for it.
I am so down with the trails theory, I have been spouting this on Reddit!!
It would be interesting to see a journey as Maria with the Prince as a party member
We already have a manga out. We just need an anime. As for an update this game’s story, I do have a few besides the Mage Academy, but it’s moreso for any new characters that could be added.
Edit: I had talked about this in the Discord.
To go on a deep discount so I can finally try it out myself
I love this game. I'm sure what they should do with it now, but I know I want more.
I kinda hope nothing? Just make it an anthology like Final Fantasy
LIke I said, I'm fine with whatever they do, but part of me does hope for this
Assuming they are using the same studio, I would wager the Anime will cover the game's base story. Perhaps with more charcater Development. but I would assume that before them adding a sequel storyline. However, I would be so stoked if it was a continuation. or even just a focus on a different part of the kingdom or its history. perhaps the mage academy, or when the king was reigning and the prince was born? something to that effect would interest me greatly.
The sequel should be maybe 10 or even 100 years after with a new cast and country. We can see just how much the world has changed. Old cast will make cameos of course.
I personally hope the next Metaphor game goes into a different genre of literature, maybe Sci-fi? I think that they already said what they wanted to say about fantasy.
Atlus is one of the few studios that I know will make a good game like fromsoft even if I am nervous about what they do with the story I know it’s gonna be good
I would love a dlc that takes place during the adventure after the 1 yr time skip at the end of the game
Voice over in every dialogue is necessary
I think they either pick another corner of the world or they pick another timeline. Like the time of the 1st hero King.
I hope they go that route, both sound interesting to me
What's next ? Where have you been ? They'll do the same thing they've been doing for years now. They'll release another version with about 20 or so hours of new content, maybe call it metaphor refantazio RE.
obviously next comes the repackaging of the game with some additional content, sold again for full price
it's Atlus after all
Metaphor: ReFantazio is connected to Etrian Odyssey
The first chapter is released on manga plus.
I want raidou 3 or a remake of the 1st 2 games
A spin off maybe
Sequel in twenty years?!
Is this persona related?
It’s kind of an amalgamation of stuff they’ve made. Which includes Persona yes.
@@Eldenbrosunite the only major relation is that both are inspired by Carl Jung
@@adamvancleave9200 Fun fact if you equip the dancer Archetype with the Devil summoner mask your characters yell Persona when summoning demons.
Ok im gonna come out and say it. This game is low key ugly in a lot of places. I want an expanded re release with some more content (maruki style secondary antgonist with a mage academy dungeon) and some better textures pleeease some better textures, an actual lod system with optimisations and for gods sake a better AA solution. the game is so muddy sometimes.
Also, my idea of a sequel could be from the pov of a nation invading euchronia as they warned of in the intro we can see the original characters as older characters.
