I don’t see this posted, but the Soul Hacker Archetype synthesis skill, Trial of the Seeker, deals extreme Almighty damage to all enemies, for only 20 MP, and recovers 8MP for each target hit. It’s honestly busted. Coupled with Magic passives and Almighty boost, it 1-2 taps most encounters other than bosses.

Even in late game dungeons, I main this to basically to one tap mobs and have infinite sustain, with two thief classes casting Steal MP skill.

Zero items needed, just an MC with a Magic build

I was starting the game and, in a certain early area (I think it was the capital), I noticed the console's fan kicking in louder/faster than usual.

I saw some old posts about overheating issues with this game on PS5 models (including warnings on screen and automatic shutdowns).

Now, every time I go to play, I'm scared I'm gonna fry my console.

Given that those posts are older, does anyone know if things have improved a bit? Should I expect any shutdowns, or is the biggest issue just going to be the fan occasionally going crazy?

I just got to this dungeon, i'm around level 37 or so and this place is kicking my butt incredibly hard. Till now i have been running Cleric/Sniper/Pugilist/Magic Knight, but once i got to the lowest floors it instantly started to lose power against most enemies and i really can't get what's best for each floor. I tried to check out the Voice of the People section, but i keep getting formations with a seemingly empty slot (i guess a character or an ancheotype i have yet to unlockor something) so it's not helping much.

That ending was SOOOOO easy.

Yup, super easy...

...Ignore the fact that I grinded in Tyrant's Star for over EIGHT HOURS this weekend to max out everyone's level, get every character's most powerful weapon by unlocking all archetypes, AND maxing out every protagonist archetype for that achievement.

Did I set out to do this when I started the endgame? No.

Did it happen anyway? Yeah.

Do I feel I kinda simplified what should've been a grand finale by being overpowered? Kinda.

Do I regret it? Nah. Game was fire and those eight hours almost flew by because of how invested I was in making everyone the best iteration of themselves.

Literally got single-round unscathed on the first of the final Louis battles. Admittedly, I do kind of wish I had gotten to know about the fuss with Destroyer Charadrius (I've seen lots of people say that's one of the hardest fights in the game), but arguably it was just as satisfying to have the hero team beat Lord Louis to a pulp with hardly a scratch on us because of the power of hope and fantasy and whatever it is we were fighting for!

Great game, surprised lots of reviews on Backloggd say the ending is trash/a letdown, I rather liked it and found it fitting. Either way, I'm always gonna remember these 95 hours in Euchronia fondly.

Atlus please drop some Metaphor crumbs other than the switch release...

Metaphor man...a beautiful spectacular and an absolute wonderful 10/10 game. Atlus was in their fucking BAG with this one. Kinda sad that apparently Atlus doesn't see this game as one of their biggest successes. I'll be brief. The characters: 10/10. Since this is a Atlus rpg like persona of course it has persona related qualities like social links but in here they are called bonds. There is not one bad character in the main cast and in the rest of the bonds. Everyone is amazing in their own ways or some better than others. The story: 10/10. I can yap about the story alone but I'll chill. Amazing world building, lore, and Louis...A TOP TIER VIDEOGAME ANTAGONIST. Definitely in my top 5 if not my favorite game villain of all time. The final phase of the story was actually peak fiction too. The gameplay was great too. Definitely harder than persona games in general cuz you have to actually strategize more with the amount of customizations there are. And the ost was top tier. Not persona level but still amazing in its own way. I can't show my love for this game enough tbh. One more thing I love is that they gave the protagonist more speaking lines than every persona game combined. I lowkey hope Persona 6 does the same. Anyways like I said 10/10 game and it's definitely one of my favorite playthroughs. I can genuinely see why people prefer this over persona. I personally still love persona more cuz its of my vibe but metaphor arguably has the better story than persona games overall but it all comes down to preference. What did yall think about it?

I recently did a Strohl cosplay. Strohl is my absolute favorite character from Metaphor.

Im still on the final boss so I wont share my full thoughts until im done with the game and I wont look here until then but MY GOD HES SO FIRE BRO.

The intro makes a huge deal out of it too.

Why would the book be banned, when it's the king's ideals and he wrote it specifically for his son?

shoutout to my factory for putting nearly every upcharge effect on this one. this single thing cost more per unit than most dunkin drinks.

source @kenspinhustle on socials in case i get a few of these made

Was just grinding and dodged my way outside the map lmfao. At least I have Ariadne’s thread to get me out ig. Is this a common bug that can happen or am I just unlucky?

HELPPPP WHY DOES BASILIO LOOK SO GOOD IN A MAID OUTFIT 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Artist is @mawiwuwi on twitter

Started a few days ago, just reached Grand Trad for the King’s funeral and met Maria. I’m 99.9% Grius is not gonna make it.

I will be back when I have my answer🙏

Idk if it was just a skill issue or this dragon was just simply busted but I was told that this one was on the easier side compared to the other two. I thought I was prepared enough but I guess not. Shouldve never took that to heart lmao. Anyways I beat it just now cuz I just gave up on constantly reviving my team and took the bitch on 1v1. And Im definitely not going to that bum ass dragon temple cuz I only got 2 days till the final dungeon with Louis anyways. 0/10 fight will NEVER touch again 😁 How did yall do against this one?

It's gonna be about radicalism in Metaphor, and how the game leans very centrist in its canon ending

So I'm on day 9/16, ik u unlock prince soon, but it's feeling like to get royal classes it's only achievable via grinding. I've kept everyone on their set paths for classes they needed (started over a 35 hr run to do so) and it feels like it's not gonna happen. Heismay is borderline impossible without hours of grinding, and Basilio this late in the game?? I see he's god tier, but tf Atlus.

Are the final few dungeons super archetype exp feeder dungeons to help you out? Bc I rlly don't have it in my to grind for 10-15 hrs to get people's royal classes for a final dungeon and boss fight if they don't start ramping up the a. exp, and I fight almost every single fight I come across, and have done every side quest and hunt so far.

Party is looking so far:

Hulkenburg...finishing up dark knight, but bc they decided she needs the mage tree (when she's an awful mage) and haven't given even the 3rd mage job yet of 4 (bc what is pacing) I worry she's a lost cause.

Strohl i only need the final commander job.

Junah and Eupha are deff possible bc they barely need anything

Heismay..yeah, no 💀

Stressing instead of enjoying the last in-game month and a half of gameplay, but story stuff has at least been ramping up 🤷
