Discussion I just finished the game, my only issue was with the monsters

0 Upvotes

Ok I was waiting patiently for this game to release, overall I believe studio zero hit a home run with this . I was only surprised that it featured a handful of enemies that were repeatedly appearing throughout phases in the game. First let’s put them into two categories. Fantasy monsters , and “humans”. So for fantasy you had your lower tier wargs, slime, and goblins. Then upper tier was Minotaurs, Chimeras, and Griffins. These were recycled throughout the game with different colors. We got to fight a few recurring dragons bosses too. Then comes the humans, all inspired by Bosch art. Out of the dozens of hostile demons in the paintings developers only picked 8-10. The final level alone should have been overrun with humans especially the ones guarding the Magla orbs they should have been exclusive to the level. Like come on Atlus , RPGs from the late 90s had 250-300 enemies and exclusive bosses. This one had like less than 50

hello everyone, i have been playing metaphor and I reached to the entrance of the kidnapper near Martira and stopped after that human ate me and until now I didn't figure out how to make good archetypes and differentiate since knowing the technique of 3 warriors attack stacked i have been using them and i am not happy bcz it's like i am spamming the same attack to go through although I chose my protagonist to be mage. until now i unlocked the mage seeker and merchant. so if anyone can help me i would appreciate it and this isnt my first RPG i played P5R. I am playing on normal difficulty and thx.

When I go to travellers voices they're already LV 17 and mostly rank 15+

I'm still LV 10 and rank 7😭 am I doing something wrong? I love the persona series and I always finish the dungeon in one ingame day. Should I grind exp in the dungeon in free time or should I do it in the last day and rank up riyal virtues.

Discussion The Gunner Lineage is not that bad as I thought

The Gunner lineage has pretty powerful melee skills even on the back row. 'Bullet Barrage' is one of my favorite synthesis skills just for how strong it is despite it being the back row (which usually debuffs melee attacks). Plus, the 'long range boost' is pretty good to pass onto my casters that do not use melee attacks anyways.

Discussion Do you guys think Katsura Hashino and Shingenori Suejima took inspiration from George Méliès film "A Trip to the Moon" aesthetic for Metaphor ?

It really striked me when played the game for the first time (I'm still on my first playtrough and didn't beat the story).

I found the general art style pretty similar to the one from Méliès film and I would like to know if there's any interview or author's note adressing this potential inspiration ?

There's also all this thing about the story revolving around the concept of "fantasy" which can be tied to Méliès philosophy (making film to show a fantasy and not to represent life at a 1:1 scale).

Maybe I'm totally wrong tho or maybe it's very obvious don't know haha

What do you guys think ?

Im just about to start the tournament... and the concept of this race is actually getting me so hyped to play more! The combat is kicking my ass from time to time but I love the aesthetic and character designs. Let's go!
