mfnick Posted September 25, 2024 Author Share Posted September 25, 2024 Madness! The P5 UI is one of the greatest ever. I fucking love it and this is very similar which is a very good thing. I won’t be playing the demo, already know I want it. 1st day for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 I have that issue with ghosting text when looking around after reading white on black as well, but never had that issue with P5. As said P5 was just a tad overwhelming but I do kind of like the style of it. And considering that at some point muscle memory kicks in and you don't have to read the text anyway, I'd say I also prefer something that looks nice over, say, classic FF white-on-blue textboxes. It might be a more serious issue for people who are colourblind or have other eye-related problems, so maybe Atlus should look at accessibility options if they continue down with those overly stylised designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted October 7, 2024 Author Share Posted October 7, 2024 Already got my pre-order but still good to see the high scores! Good for my Fantasy Critic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 Would love to play this but it’s going to be long isn’t it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 I’ve seen people say 75+ hours. No context if that’s the main game, 100%, normal paced, player skill How Long To Beat hasn’t been updated yet, either https://howlongtobeat.com/game/129956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 It's hard to get a sense from the reviews what makes it stand out from Persona. Sounds like this puts in a solid performance at 30fps on Steam Deck, which seems like it matters here cause I doubt many want to play a 100 hour JRPG solely at their desktop if they have a choice. https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/16405-metaphor-refantazio-full-game-steam-deck-performance-review-pc-port I'm going to wait and see what others say later, I'm just a bit wary that a lot of the reviews are coming from people who already love Persona and I'd like to hear some takes from people who are maybe a bit more jaded by that formula at this point. It does sound cool, but I want to spend less money in general and it takes a long time to get into games like this as they're quite slow up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 I’ve seen a few reviewers say it’s like the culmination of Persona. So it is that, but excellent. Not sure if there’s any huge twists (outside the story/setting) Think Jason Schrier had a tweet saying it’s Persona with a job system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 It's a good thing there's a demo, so the only thing I would spend is time if I needed to try it. I just sort of try to avoid getting swept away by massive review scores now cause that's led to disappointment and frustration before, but I wanted to call out specifically what a good practice it is now by Atlus and Square to do these prologue demos. I hope it's something that catches on. In a way it might need to, given how some AAA games are struggling to catch attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 8, 2024 Author Share Posted October 8, 2024 The high scores have me worried for the totally opposite reason. I can’t see them giving that kind of score to a turn based Persona+ experience - which is exactly what I want. I’m worried there’s a huge innovation in here somewhere which warrants the higher scores that I’m going to hate. I just want an old school JRPG with decent production values.

one-armed dwarf Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 P5 Royale has a 95 Metacritic tho I think you underestimate the appetite right now for fully turn based RPG, it's the combat driven RPG that's becoming seen to be more passe nowadays I think, it's swinging back around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Just looked at the Eurogamer technical review of this and it sounds bad... is this how reviews work now? A game with shocking technical performance can still receive 5 star reviews? Imagine if car reviews worked like that... looks beautiful, has nice comfy seats but won't go in to 5th gear and misfires constantly... 5 stars!

one-armed dwarf Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 DF are far more exacting of things like that though, and the review was a different person. A car fucking up isn't the same as a game having framespikes and stuff That said, I did think the demo looked kinda horrible with all the motion blur and vignettes. Game seems like it would be good for triggering some migraines if you play it too long Also the guy says this at the end so it's a bit more nuanced Quote But I still think Metaphor: ReFantazio is very much worth playing if you do enjoy - or think you'd enjoy - Persona-style games, as I think Atlus' latest RPG is excellent. It's just that to best enjoy it, you need to carefully navigate a range of platform and display choices, each of which come with their own tradeoffs.
