Very late game spoilers

Heismay is my GOAT. I maxed out his agility so I increased his chamces of dodging even more and his royal thief archetype that removes all of the enemy's turns upon a miss from him is so satisfying when that little bat man dodges. Even without buffs, he goes hard.

I'm starting to realize that this game is much, much shorter than I expected, and that the estimates that put at 100+ hours implicitly include New Game+

This is nowhere close to the size of Persona 5

Serious spoiler warning: don't click on the blurred text below if you haven't played Metaphor: ReFantazio or are not in the later stages of the game.

I saw this coming a mile a while but it still didn't stop me from bawling my eyes out when Del died. It's pure convention, the curmudgeon with the heart of gold stepping into the line of fire to save someone else at the last minute. I knew all his doubts about our mission would melt away and he'd make the sacrifice, but the game hit me hard nonetheless. And then you run off just in time for Junah's sister Rella to die as well. Gut wrenching! I spent a good amount of time sobbing last night for the two who lost their siblings.

Sorry, I just need to share that but don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

"I did it. I killed the three hard things for the side quest and now I am ready to beat the game."

"Psych! There's one more boss you have to fight!"

I don't want to waste a day going through a tower just to not kill the boss so I have to resort to a lot of grinding from level 60 to 67 because this boss is such a pain to deal with. 😭

Someone asked which games include fishing mini games that don’t annoy me. Well you can add Metaphore: ReFantazio to the list. It’s a no B.S. activity completely devoid of anything I’d consider finicky. It can also essentially be ignored if you want to do other things with the free time.

I haven’t played a single Next Fest demo (I usually do) because I’m too obsessed with Metaphor: ReFantazio to play anything else.

MAJOR SPOILERS

Atlus really be making one of the most important story beats in the game happen on September 11th of all days. Wild ass shit.

I feel spoiled for amazing games this year. I’m really not being hyperbolic, I’ve played some true gems in 2024. And Metaphor: ReFantazio is hands down one of the most enjoyable this year. Most years are filled to the brim with fantastic indies, but I rarely fall in love with really big studio games. There are titles here and there, but seldom do big studios make up the group contributing a significant number of games to my favourite favourites of the year. So I’m surprised that a great deal of the praise I have for games this year goes to studios like Capcom and Atlus. Not that they don’t make great games, I just didn’t imagine I’d fall this in love with the games of theirs that I played this year.

This kid Maria saying “I’m hungry” to Fabienne is making me bawl my eyes. Poor kid.

About to leave area 4 of the game. Atlus, please don't stop missing with your English dubs. Like this highlighted line in particular was delivered so well that it made me realize this cast is special. enter image description here
