Yeah I've considered Cemu, I've heard it's good but I'd prefer not having more software I'm using for one thing on my PC. 3DS is even worse because even when the emulation is good the game feel is pretty hosed off of a two screen handheld. Even games that work well when ported like Rune Factory can feel a bit ill accustomed to the format.

Does anyone think this "third pillar" proclamation is rather presumptuous of them? Like they think they're making the next big franchise full of mainline games and spin-offs. It sort of reminds me of the plans for Final Fantasy 13's expanded universe and we all know what happened there.

Last time I heard third pillar it was Nintendo saying the GBA, DS. And GameCube were all systems that were supposed to be concurrent.

Hashino has his glaring weaknesses but he is what helped make Persona their biggest franchise by far so I can see why they think he, Meguro, etc. can do the same for Metaphor. It remains to be seen if it will work but I personally hope it does.

No, it's pretty common for companies to suggest their next big budget game is intended to be a thing going forward.

AnimeIsTrash posted:theyre waiting for me to finish smt 4 -_- Then you gotta play IVA, too. Also Anime Ages got me again because I was writing about my favorite Chaos reps in the series and I compared and contrasted Yamato and Chiaki, citing how they're both from privileged families but Yamato is a "mature man" and Chiaki is a "traumatized girl." Only...it then hit me, Yamato and Chiaki are probably the same age. The point was more that Yamato has a clear idea of what he wants all game while Chiaki is a victim responding to her situation, but it totally went over my head this leader of a military organization is only 17, bossing around the 26-year-old Makoto. Oh well. I need to replay DeSu 2, it's been so many years, and I have a good enough PC to record stuff now so I can keep track of the innumerable scenes in the game. The ones which interest me, anyway.

This has been 'out' for a bit now but nobody shared it so I'm copying and pasting some plot/story info for Metaphor:quote:A world separate from our own, inhabited by eight tribes. Gonna provide some interesting extra context on the "Human" thing. It utilizes 'glossing', where Japanese characters are read in an alternate way to provide a double meaning: the kanji are the word 'ningen' which means 'human', but it's glossed with the katakana for 'homo', as in 'homo sapiens'. This, unfortunately, results in this seemingly early localization:  Fully expect either something to make it clearer that it's derived from 'homo sapiens' or to get changed entirely, or else the Hashino homophobia jokes are gonna start getting worse. Anyway, also, some PC bios: quote:Protagonist:

Well there are English screenshots where all the enemy names are the "Homo sapiens" type scientific names, but we don't actually know what the monsters are referred to collectively in the English localization. Also I love how they just frontloaded "Man was the real monster all along...."

According to the latest interview, sounds like a lot of the party members and some other characters are people who don't fit into the common stereotypes of their race. So presumably some of the story is about how these established stereotypes don't really exist, or at least don't apply to everyone. Hashino interview posted:The interracial issues are quite deep-rooted, but the protagonist, driven by a vague sense of justice, simply wants to help everyone in need. That’s why individuals who might be considered odd within their own race due to various circumstances are influenced by the protagonist and end up joining the journey. Eventually, a party is formed with a mix of races. From the perspective of the people in this world, it might appear as quite a… peculiar group. https://personacentral.com/metaphor-refantazio-interview-excerpt/

Not saying how it will actually turn out in the game, just that it at least seems to be part of the idea. Although given that we know the game has a modern Persona-style calendar I guess we can probably just say the structure of the plot will just be an episodic "visit the lands of one of the 8 races each month to solve some crisis/rally them to your cause, then some extra thing for the ending". And yeah given what else we know I guess it's likely that after opposing or being wary of them initially, at the end of the month each tribe will unanimously agree to support the protagonists after they solve some crisis tied in with the dungeon/boss of the month. Just whatever they do, please no finishing the dungeon for the month in a couple days and for 2 weeks having your party members say every day "Will the [x] tribe support us in the election? I don't know!! All we can do is wait until the end of the month" For me really a bigger letdown would be if the game ends up rigidly adhering to this monthly episodic/formulaic structure like Persona 3-5 did, which seems pretty likely.

So presumably some of the story is about how these established stereotypes don't really exist, or at least don't apply to everyone. Thank you for linking this. It was interesting. quote:Hashino: In the synopsis that’s been introduced, it hints at the entity that assassinated the king and prince, becoming the main character’s antagonist. However, it’s possible that one might feel that there is some truth in what the enemy is saying. I’ve always wanted to create a story where, unlike the clear-cut dynamics of “children versus adults” or “good versus evil” depicted in the Persona series, one can understand the other side’s ideology. I remember so vividly when P5 came out and I was always rolling my eyes at "those rotten adults." Now the director just flatly said, yes, Persona is all about Children vs. Adults and he wants to have a more complex conflict. Cool in my book. In any event, Brutal Realism vs. High-Minded Idealism is hardly untrodden ground. That doesn't mean it's a lovely way to frame your moral conflict of course. I can't wait to read the full interview but the total lack of mentioning choice so far makes me think it will be a linear game. Which is fine, most JRPGs I love are linear with no branching routes. Just, being an Atlus game with such a premise, I was really wondering.

I don't think I'm being tricked, I'm just saying that it'll be a good thing if that answer is actually representative of the game... which it very easily may not be, and I don't exactly have a lot of faith in it either way. I dunno about Metaphor, honestly. I know they haven't really started fully promoting it yet, but what I'm seeing isn't doing much for me.

Just, being an Atlus game with such a premise, I was really wondering. We know it has the same calendar where each month has some looming deadline like P5, so seems likely that it's linear fitting that structure. They have mentioned that choosing where to travel in a limited time is an important part of the game, though likely that's the equivalent of choosing which social link characters to visit each day in the month. Arist posted:I dunno about Metaphor, honestly. I know they haven't really started fully promoting it yet, but what I'm seeing isn't doing much for me. Yeah to me the most disappointing thing to me would be if it's basically just a fantasy themed reskin of Persona 3-5 like the opening hours of SMT4 were a fantasy reskin of SMT.... which seems increasingly likely given the information revealed and what it might mean for the actual game. Which is sort of funny since in that case it would have arguably less of a distinct identity than a lot of the SMT spinoffs did since you at least had stuff like Raidou and Devil Survivor that had pretty radically different styles of gameplay compared to each other. Though in my mind it's basically already become "Persona 6" rather than an entirely new game concept like they were hyping up years ago when they had no idea what the game would be. I'll still likely buy it which is more than I can say for the Persona 3 remake. Item Getter fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Dec 20, 2023 |

This is more info, though less outright statements and more analysis. I listed the four starting playable characters-Hero, Strohl, Hulkenberg, Heismay. If you pause at a right moment in the trailer, you can see Junah (blonde girl with a forehead that puts Haru to shame) saying a line that ends with "but it's thanks to you that I awakened my Archetyp(e)". (it cuts off before the e arrives but that's clearly what it's called.) In a JP stream, we have this image:  Strohl, Hulkenberg, Heismay, Junah (who's big eyes seem to mark her as a Nydia tribe member). Then there's the girl in the center, who's third eye on her forehead clearly marks her as the Mutsutari member, and the person in the suit at the far right back. We also have this bit from the trailer:  The fact that this party member is elderly would probably put him in the Rogue tribe. We have Maria, a girl with wings, obviously Ichthyia, which leaves just Palipas as unrepresented so far. (Maria's not hard confirmed to be a party member, she might be a friendly NPC-confidant, possibly a shopkeeper of some sort, but she could be.) There's also these Archetypes themselves. We've seen them next to the party member's HP and MP bars, and they seem to have classic fantasy class names: So far I've counted "Seeker", "Brawler", "Healer", "Warrior", "Knight", and "Mage" in the newest trailer. The previous one had "Thief" as well, and this screenshot from another source has "Soulhacker", "Trickster", "Paladin" and "Ninja".  Here's the thing that gets me: In a lot of RPGs with class systems, like the FF1, 3 and 5 'trilogy', the Bravely games, Crystal Project etc. you have a starting party that never changes (yes I know Galuf but mechanically) so you can customize them to your heart's content. Why have more than 4 party members in this case? There's the obvious answer of 'Protag is free to use any, all the others are locked to 1, with an upgrade' ala Persona but if you peruse everything, Hulkenberg uses Knight, Healer and Paladin. So it's not just that. My guess? Everyone has a smaller subset of personal classes that can be customized, and there is overlap between characters but nobody's ever 1-to-1. Feel free to share a dissenting opinion/analysis, however, this is pure speculation on my part.

honestly some really intrepid mining of the content released so far i'm impressed but i don't think i care about this game, i will probably play it and forget it claw game handjob posted:I feel like, especially with polishing up P3 in a new fancier edition, and just the blatant artwork similarity in character designs, I'm gonna shoot my shot early. This new game is going to have a twist halfway in that it's all in the head of a statuefied P3 protag. ImpAtom posted:We still haven't gotten the required SMTV with a new lady character yet.
