Metaphor: ReFantazio is the Culmination of 35th Years of ATLUS' Works

When this game first announced back in 2016, just 2 days after the release of Persona 5 in Japan. Naturally as ATLUS fans i was very excited because now ATLUS making a game in a genre that i love so much, that is fantasy with Shigenori Soejima again in it as art director. Which i personally love Soejima work so much, i also think of his art is perfect for the Fantasy genre since i play one of his old games that is Stella Deus which also a fantasy games made by ATLUS for PS2

Epic Like Fantasy Should be

Metaphor: ReFantazio offer you a story of grand high fantasy like you would expect, yet with their own touch of realism. The game brought you an adventure so amazing in the world of Euchronia, meet a new wonder, and so many fantastical stuff like a dragon, magic, fantastical race, and many other you can imagine. Yet ATLUS still give their own touch to make the player to explore their own personal fear and anxiety. Overall the story is amazing, the character is also memorable, and the adventure is a grand one you will not forget.

Familiar Experience, but A Whole New Fresh World

If you play ATLUS games before, you definitely can't help but find so many familiar mechanics from their previous games. Not just from Persona but also Shin Megami Tensei and yet they deliver it in a way in a very good way that it becomes a whole new fresh experience. For starter they use the Neo Persona story progression using the time limit system in the form of calendar, and all Persona social aspects; and then combine it to Shin Megami Tensei political themes and combat while incorporating whole new stuff like their hybrid combat.
