This is looking really fun but I’m already planning to buy Ys X Nordics next month so will have to put this one on hold for now.

There is one mechanic that might entice you to still fight weak enemies in squad battles, though. Your archetypes Rank up not by experience earned, but by being actively used in battle. It's an interesting trade off.

I kind of want to try the game but knowing it is as long as Persona 5... that is too much for me in several ways.

FinalVentCard mentioned in the This Week in Games thread last time that Hashino was off of Persona 6.
Hashino being involved in Metaphor massively deflates my interest in playing, and I'm getting Nomura vibes with how the main character looks like someone wanted their Persona 3 OC to headline the game. Some of the feedback I've been catching from the demo players, is that they were apparently expecting more Persona and social stuff, and the violence and darker SMT lean caught them offguard. I'm of the belief that the superior Persona gameplay is in Persona 5 Strikers - you get full party control, your Persona has all of its abilities and spells, you have to control everything in realtime, and combat and navigating is pretty smooth & seamless without needing to halt & battle-UI every time a combat starts up. It's the one area where Metaphor actually caught my interest - I'd rather be spending my time playing SMT4 and enjoy roughly the same sort of aesthetic, however Metaphor allowing that Paper Mario-esque "wipe them out before battle" mechanic might actually be enough to make me at least try the demo. Given reactions to the demo, I'm betting that Atlus is in for a sore awakening - they're pushing this with Sega like it's their next big major release, but I'm betting that the shift in tone and the weird "Do you like my Persona OC!??" design of some of the party characters is going to bump this down to the sort of audience niche that Catherine tends to sit at. |
