Metaphor: ReFantazio

It's not a Persona. It's more grindy, there is no romance, you can't change your personal Persona, there is no fusion or collecting here. Is it a good game? Sure. But I like my collecting, fusion and romancing quiet a lot.

É da Atlus... É um tipo de Persona. É carismático e sabe fazer o que é bom de JRPG. Só jogue.

«Si no puedo salvarlos con mi muerte... ¡entonces lo juro... los protegeré con mi vida!» Eupha chad 🗿

I'd rather subject myself to medieval torture where my balls gets castrated and force fed to me than play, let alone RECOMMEND, this game to anyone. Just do yourself a favor and play Persona, or hell, a JRPG that's NOT from ATLUS, than this.

I love this game very much

暗喻幻想真好玩啊！ 虽然骂迷宫太复杂，浪费时间反复刷级，剧情深度不够已经是jrpg不得不品的一环了，但谁又能拒绝不断认识新的伙伴，一起快乐地在陌生大陆冒险，最后迎来一个感人的结尾呢。 最后的收尾特别完美，和旅途上遇到的每一个朋友对话，一个欣欣向荣的国家就展现在眼前。 该游戏唯一的缺点就是有几个迷宫实在是太绕了，到处都是根本看不见的狗洞，但在我放弃思考把大脑交给攻略后这唯一的问题也迎刃而解了。 旅途的过程中很喜欢在不同的时间点和每一个路上的npc对话，更好地了解异世界的风土人情，要是能再多出几个coop角色帮助完善大世界观就更好了，总觉得还有更多可以细细品味的地方。 总而言之，就要jrpg就要jrpg，就要日式西幻就要日式西幻！回合制游戏就是最强的！

A good enough Atlus RPG, but too close to Persona for its own good Metaphor ReFantazio as the first full-fledged RPG from Atlus sub-studio Studio Zero feels a bit too safe. Every other RPG series has either stood on its own from the beginning, or been honest about being a sub-series (looking at early Persona). An Etrian Odyssey, Persona and SMT game stripped of any sort of setting or unique style would still feel drastically different from each other. Do the same to Metaphor, and it would feel like a "social-link/calendar" era Persona game with some things altered. What sets it apart from persona also doesn't feel interesting either. Instead of the protagonist being a blank slate, and all other party-members having obvious strengths, weaknesses and elemental associations, everyone gets to be a blank slate that can more or less assume any role with at least fair proficiency, doubly so since you can swap around some skills you've learned with other classes (here called archetypes). More than ever can you just pick your favourites and let the other party members sit out the entire game. The calendar and social aspects are also mostly for the worse. Fewer interactions and fewer bonds makes the cast feel very small and underexplored, and the lack of things to do in the calendar system makes the daily grind rather uninteresting. The setting similarly feels unrealised. For how invested we are supposed to be in the world, we get really little of it (even if that was on purpose). Atlus isn't that good at creating a larger world, their RPGs usually excel at smaller-scale settings and when they are free to go through something written by Jung or Crowley nicking names and vague outlines of concepts, so I can't be that annoyed when their first attempt at a fantasy world bigger than a few menus doesn't hold up, but I also can't just say that it's fine. THAT BEING SAID, it's still a fairly good Atlus RPG, which puts it high on the totem pole of JRPGs. Another interesting wrinkle to this is that long-time director of the Persona series Katsura Hashino, who went on to be the director of Metaphor, stated that he went on to create Studio Zero "due to a shift in creative direction with Persona 5", so maybe we'll in ten years time look back at Metaphor with more appreciation, as this was the continuation of that style of game, whereas Persona goes on to do something else.

O melhor jogo disparado da minha biblioteca.
