Interesting, this has gone from being a "definite pass" when they put out the first trailer, to quickly becoming one of the more interesting RPGs to follow right now.

A beautiful, 100-hour-long journey from beginning to end, Metaphor: ReFantazio takes the best elements of Persona 5 and somehow improves on them.

As someone who was not very impressed with Persona 5 at all despite the lavish praise it was getting, and found myself somewhat let down by SMTV's vanilla release, I'm still not sold on this one. I'll let a few weeks pass by, wait for word of mouth to spread around, and see what people are saying at that time before i make a decision

I'm kind of in the same boat; I liked but didn't love P5, and the thought of spending >80 hours playing what basically looks like Fantasy Persona is daunting in comparison to how many shorter games I could play in that time.

But the real reason I'm not buying this on release is Atlus' track record with nearly every other game they've developed since Persona 3; they're almost guaranteed to make a re-release of this game that fixes problems and adds more content, and I definitely don't want to play through an 80-hour game twice. So I'm just going to wait for the inevitable re-release and play that version if it has managed to catch my attention by then.

There's a sizeable demo of the first 8 hours or so of the game if you're on the fence. Saves transfer to full game.
