Metaphor: ReFantazio is the next big RPG from Atlus before Persona 6 He doesn’t even dare to reveal himself officially. With significantly high popularity for Persona 5, the internal development team knows the risk they run when launching a new IP and the exact initial fan base they can count on. Naturally, many elements of Persona they inherit them to the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio. Day-by-day time management mechanics and social elements are some of them. Now, everything except romantic relationships.
According to the japanese presentation where Atlus revealed the release date of Metaphor: ReFantazioromances as we know them in Persona They will not be part of Atlus’ new fantasy kingdom. Whose most similar colleague in this aspect would be the franchise Fire Emblem. Being the social elements of Metaphor: ReFantazio apparently the same as those of Persona 5with added benefits, fans have had a mixed reaction to the reveal.
Several of them are fine with Atlus not repeating to the letter the formula established by Persona and his enamored students. Some even hate how the conversations of Persona They are usually defined by these debates between who would be the best dead / husbando. For others it is something simply unnecessary that does not affect the development of the main game and they think that in fact Atlus is somewhat bad at handling romances. Some others feel disappointed because they think that the romantic relationships between the main characters help them become more interested in them.
The really surprising thing is to find out that many fans do not like these elements – or perhaps deny it – when it has been most popularized by the modern series. An option in the air is the possibility that Metaphor: ReFantazio have predetermined relationships. Thus freeing the need for developers to write multiple romantic relationships for players to choose from.
Metaphor: ReFantazio It will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
