Metaphor: ReFantazio "ATLUS Exclusive" Showcase - Story

So we now know the stakes of this tournament. The two leading competitors have their own ideals that would taken to great extremes if either becomes king. Forden is the leading representative of the religion that created the notion of "superior" and "lesser" races and therefore is responsible for the now rampant discrimination and abuse of the "lesser" races. Louis is a ambitious military man who would eliminate members of the royal family to achieve his goals. So basically no matter who wins the kingdom will be forever changed for the worst. If Forden wins the kingdom will become a place where "superior" races rule over everything while the "lesser" races are their livestock/slaves. And if Louis wins the kingdom will become a militarized dictatorship. The protagonist's main goal may be to save the prince but it's also good to think that he's also preventing these two extremists from taking the throne and transforming the kingdom based on their warped ideals.

I love the artstyle. Atlus never disappoints

I really like Heismay. I enjoy when people make characters look more animal than human. I also respect that he has a deep voice instead of high-pitched, squeaky one like you'd expect.

Junah definitely seems to be a interesting character so far.

Thank god im watching this at 3 am, gonna forget everything

Heismay and Junah are my favorite characters so far. They said there will be 7 playable characters but they only mentioned 6, unless im counting wrong

2:12 damn. Tha MC got KABE-Donned

Its fascinating to see the thinking and inspiration behind such a cool looking game that turns a lot of tropes on their head. Cannot wait!!

I love the mod fashion inspiration, what a unique choice for a fantasy setting

This game has Final Fantasy vibe with Megaten elements.

Looks like door kun and Aigis had a secret love child

Heismay and Junah are instant favorites of mine already. Heismay's voice sounds similar Cidolphus from Final Fantasy XVI. And Junah is Waifu material!

"Humans" as the enemy, a literal monster in this world, i can't wait to know if there are any story behind the name

Nice to see that they've fixed the aliasing issues. That was driving me wild.

Magic is made out of anxiety, goddamn

this is gonna be huge

I have spent almost a 100 hours on SMT5: Vengeance and have beat Persona 5 a couple years back, if this game is a good mix of both of them while pushing the Atlus JRPG style forward then it's going to be a genuine masterpiece.

This game and DQ3 os my most wanted games this year

12:00 - I Know More Now.

This game comes out about a month before the American election where anxiety is quite high. We must seek our inner archetypes and vote or something like that😌
