So we now know the stakes of this tournament. The two leading competitors have their own ideals that would taken to great extremes if either becomes king. Forden is the leading representative of the religion that created the notion of "superior" and "lesser" races and therefore is responsible for the now rampant discrimination and abuse of the "lesser" races. Louis is a ambitious military man who would eliminate members of the royal family to achieve his goals. So basically no matter who wins the kingdom will be forever changed for the worst. If Forden wins the kingdom will become a place where "superior" races rule over everything while the "lesser" races are their livestock/slaves. And if Louis wins the kingdom will become a militarized dictatorship. The protagonist's main goal may be to save the prince but it's also good to think that he's also preventing these two extremists from taking the throne and transforming the kingdom based on their warped ideals.

Thank god im watching this at 3 am, gonna forget everything

Junah definitely seems to be a *interesting* character so far.

I love the artstyle. Atlus never disappoints

I really like Heismay. I enjoy when people make characters look more animal than human. I also respect that he has a deep voice instead of high-pitched, squeaky one like you'd expect.

Heismay and Junah are my favorite characters so far. They said there will be 7 playable characters but they only mentioned 6, unless im counting wrong

2:12 damn. Tha MC got KABE-Donned

This game has Final Fantasy vibe with Megaten elements.

I love the mod fashion inspiration, what a unique choice for a fantasy setting

Its fascinating to see the thinking and inspiration behind such a cool looking game that turns a lot of tropes on their head. Cannot wait!!

Heismay and Junah are instant favorites of mine already. Heismay's voice sounds similar Cidolphus from Final Fantasy XVI. And Junah is Waifu material!

this is gonna be huge

Nice to see that they've fixed the aliasing issues. That was driving me wild.

Looks like door kun and Aigis had a secret love child

This game and DQ3 os my most wanted games this year

12:00 - I Know More Now.

"Humans" as the enemy, a literal monster in this world, i can't wait to know if there are any story behind the name

I cannot wait for this.

This game comes out about a month before the American election where anxiety is quite high. We must seek our inner archetypes and vote or something like that😌

Magic is made out of anxiety, goddamn

Cant wait for it! 😊 Very Interesting Characters und Tribes! Story Drama interessting so far. Will play IT day one!

I have spent almost a 100 hours on SMT5: Vengeance and have beat Persona 5 a couple years back, if this game is a good mix of both of them while pushing the Atlus JRPG style forward then it's going to be a genuine masterpiece.

ohhhh can't wait

PERSONA! 8:53

This looks amazing

Day one for me. Thanks Atlus.

Louis reminds me Reinhard Von Lohengramm :)

Is the prince a secret or something? At one part of the trailer, they say that the aging king has no heir, and then later they talk about the prince being the heir to the throne. Anyone else catch that?

so hyped cant wait for this game

Awesome Metaphor: ReFantazio "ATLUS Exclusive" Showcase Story Video.

Red Elf is best girl

Okay so basically the magla anxiety magic particles are basically Minovsky particles from Gundam/Magatsuhi from SMT right?

Yes!!!

im gonna name my protagonist.."Legoshi". heismay is gonna be a favorite of mine.

Future me. Check back after you finish this game. See if Louis has a last name. Maybe something like “Eifer”

I guaranteed you that 1. Gaius going to die early. 2. Plot twist mid game is "Louis is not the one that cast Cursed on prince"

please i want the switch 2 right now so that this game comes to it i realy hope it's true that they release it on switch 2

Junah working her way up to best girl status iktr

Got a feeling the prince and the MC are gonna get shipped a lot. Dunno why.

Tiene muy buena pinta. Ya quiero jugarlo en mi xbox 💚

Junah-chan ❤❤❤❤

Akademeia was said so zesty

Louis means business damn

Cant wait for fall and winter!! I am loving this game so far

When she Re on my Metaphor til i wake up and realise it was a Fantazio

Let me guess Catherina is Rin(Catherine) easter egg. Loise is Lucifer reference. Chihaya(P5 fortune teller) isekaied as Junah. Gallica is SMT3 pixie. Nice

Whenever Atlus makes games like this, I'd only recommend hard mode and max difficulty rather than normal more cause i've had my own hardships to endure longer than everyone else.

Least you don't get a Game over if the MC dies in battle.

Nice hope they stay a bit more vague and dont show to much

This looks pretty decent.

I hope they'll finally release it for Switch 2.

The art and graphics seem worth it. Even though this game looks so different and strange.

Brutal it's the trifecta law, neutral, chaos again 😂. Not against it but it's obvious and will be interesting. Louis isn't unfamiliar either especially with how it's helel lucifer in design

Knowing Atlus I'm sure there'll be a "definitive" edition in three years with +20 hours of gameplay or so. I'll wait for it to play it

Louis, a beautiful blonde charismatic leader who manipulates things behind the scenes. This team couldn’t help themselves by injecting “Louis Cypher” into another game huh? At least make it less obvious next time.

My GOTY.

Where is the demo

god i hope that this game REALLY revolves around some battle royale for the throne. People with different philosophies of how to lead, or what they deserve. And I hope it STICKS TO THAT. Please don't turn into 'all other king-candidates become my friends and together we kill god' simulator

😍😍

Oh gOD is ThAT gRIFFITh

Junah is my favorite 100%. I doubt it is true that there is no romance in this game.

Luise looks like the guy who did no wrong

Where is the thing where "are world is there fantasy" is that plot in their or not

0:02

I can't pre order it cuz it's not available in the playstation store

Looks great but if the bunny girl isn't a party member I'm going to be very disappointed. That would be a huge oversight seeing how popular bunny girls are and how often she appears in trailers.

One more playable char who

so does the protag have an actual political platform or does he just want to kill louis

This is more like a presidential election simulator rather than a fantasy rpg hahaha

Can't wait to play this on my PS5. Thanks for doing the marketing for Sony too, Microsoft.

Gallica feet 🤤

were we supposed to know that Louis is a traitor?

damn Atlus, yall ain't gotta embarrass Squreenix this damn bad. I'm kidding yeah you do, show those idiots people aren't over turn based combat, they just need it to be good.

The protagonist looks A LOT like Makoto Yuki. Humans being the enemy makes sense. Guarantee you this is a secret Persona universe game.

I've never wanted to buy a game less.

Seems to me like one of those projects where the effort clearly exceeds the appeal.

Thanks for the spoilers, atlus lol this story sounds fantastical

need more waifus

Okay we get it, im already copping this day 1, no need to put the whole game out there

I don't think the animated cutscenes look that great sadly. But the art direction and in game visuals look amazing.

Okay we get im already copping this day 1, no need to put the whole game out there

Okay so you can romance June’s and Gallica-who else?

Pertamax 👻

gonna wait 3 years for the better ver 🤡

Damn the guy least stop talking during character dialogs

so its a linear story after all? It would have been a perfect chance to state otherwise

bro, let us clap the lil fairy cheeks atlus PLLEAASEEEEE!! peak fiction!!😩😩😩

Why no romance options?!

this looks like a switch game

Do not buy until they release the enhanced version. You are warned!

Just give us a 2 hour demo already all this showcase is ruining my interest in this game

Emmm... plot in its base is like flashback to b-tier games of 200X. We are shown the main antagonist from the very beginning and, somehow, it seems only we know who is to blame in entire game universe))))) Some nonename guy discovered thuth from the beginning))) and the rest of the game we struggle to reach this guy.... Where is intrigue, where are plot twists? What a bullshit

They haven't betrayed their style; visually, it still looks like a PS3 game. And you can't look at the facial animation without feeling pain.

I think they tried too hard on some enemy/boss designs, and they look more goofy than scary or cool

This game is DOA. Perfect for gamepass.

PlayStation players should absolutely ignore this game, since they are trying by all means to make people think it’s not coming out there

This game is woke af

Omfg why does ATLUS West keep hiring the most stilted and awkward voice actor for the protagonist? P3Reload didn't have this issue but SMT V had a horrible English protag and now Metaphor's is so awkward as well.

This game is so ugly for a ps5 game

Saving up for a ps5 just to get this game 🥹
