Julius Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 Demo is up people! Quote Your journey begins NOW! Play the Prologue Demo on [literally every major platform]. Saved data will convert over to the full game upon release on October 11th. Think I'll wait, with how long this game has been touted as being I think I might hold out until I'm off over Christmas.

Hero-of-Time Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Archipel are releasing a documentary about the game. Love some of their other work so it should be good viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drahkon Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) Just started the demo and have control of the main character for the first time. AND MY GOD, THE MUSIC! Incredible right off the bat. Edit: And that battle music Edited September 27 by drahkon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted Saturday at 09:38 AM Share Posted Saturday at 09:38 AM Just tried the demo on PC and it's a complete mess. Felt like I was getting about 10fps. Not going near this again until I know it's been patched. Even the menus were chugging so it took forever to test changes (nothing fixed it anyway).

It really is, I've popped on some of the tracks people have pulled from trailers between various rewatches of them (because I love a good trailer) and as someone who looooooooooves me some epic orchestras and vocals, this game's OST has it in spadefuls. Look, I know we knew Shoji Meguro was talented as hell from his other OSTs - I pop the Persona 5 soundtrack on in the background in my apartment at least twice a month - but it's crazy that he's gone from THAT to THIS. Like, seriously, it's such an extreme switch up in genres it's insane. It's like being one of the best snooker players in the world and then deciding to take up ice skating. Damn it I'm trying to be sensible and wait for this to be my Christmas game while I'm off work for a few weeks with how endless it seems to be but also I DON'T WANT TO WAIT AT ALL 57 minutes ago, drahkon said: Crazy that this is just two weeks away. Don't get me started – I remember this got announced the year I joined the forums, which was, uh, over 8 years ago now. Where the hell has the time gone? Project Re Fantasy was a silly project title then, but somehow Metaphor ReFantazio...is kind of incredibly epic as a title? If still a little silly there was that IGN First video with the cool concept art (still a bit letdown she didn't become our protag but whatever). There was also that time they released that really weird, high concept trailer with concept art, random people standing around in fantasy costumes and that guy in a set of armour. Is this game's entire existence a metaphor..? 57 minutes ago, drahkon said: These last few months flew by... 😕 Edited Saturday at 09:50 AM by Julius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's an issue where the game defaults to CPU instead of GPU and can't be quick fixed for those of us with AMD chips. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind, I'll keep playing. Now that I've dropped Echoes of GARBAGE ( just kidding, it's objectively not that bad but I hate it) and I don't want to/have time to start anything else, I'm gonna spend more time with the demo right up until I pick up my copy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted Tuesday at 06:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:33 PM (edited) Did I spend two hours farming exp? Sure did. And was I able to fight an enemy which my party recommended to avoid? Sure did. And was this fight super easy because I farmed a lot of exp? Sure was. Love this game Edit: And did I get a strong sword as a reward? Sure did.

Julius Posted Wednesday at 12:10 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 12:10 PM First sign of a review, per Famitsu and their weird review system: 37/40. This matches Persona 5 Royal (also 37/40), but comes in below the likes of the original Persona 5 (39/40). But yeah that means basically nothing. Of actual interest, though, in line with what we've heard recently about the length of the game, Famitsu are putting this down as 80 hours for the main story and 100 hours including extras. So yeah, a big ol' chunky boi of a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, though...I did farm for about 5 of those hours and I will continue farming until the game gets released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM 9 hours 42 minutes in. Maxed out 3 Archetypes for the MC and one each for the other two. Might actually try and max out all Archetypes for everyone but that could take 5 hours, maybe even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
