Cory asked me to tackle the queue today so here I am! Since I wanted to spend my last Queue championing Ila I didn’t have a chance to discuss Metaphor: ReFantazio like I originally wanted to. So now I am!

In short, I really enjoyed the game. While “fantasy Persona” could’ve been a simple skin job of the popular franchise they really made an effort to build Metaphor as a new IP and it shows. The hybrid combat system is fluid, the Archetype system was involved and clever (but not overwhelming) and the story while odd on the surface was still compelling and ended in a satisfying manner. It wasn’t a perfect game, mind you — a couple sections felt cut or rushed — but I still feel like Atlus knocked it out of the park and hopefully we’ll get future titles set in the same timeframe.

Plus Gallica was super adorbs.

So while I figure out what game to play next, let’s answer some questions Cory-style!
