Atlus hasn't put any substantial money into anime cutscenes since vanilla P5, but the landscape is also completely different now than it was then and their in-engine efforts are already better. Everyone forgot quickly how hard animators and attempts to schedule voice actors to record got screwed over during and post COVID that some games launched literally without anime OPs like Soul Hackers 2

It's not like I want to or not. You’d think /pg/ anons would post here too bumping the thread make it more active, considering how often they (we) complain about the lack of meaningful Persona content and M:R is actually great in terms of story, characters, gameplay etc. But I’m starting to believe that around 70% of the posters there have never actually played a Persona game they just use the general to waifupost.
That said, merging with /pg/ (or /smtg/ even lol) wouldn’t really fix the problem. Sure, it might stabilise things, but it would probably just make the thread more chaotic in the meantime.
It’s not even about how fast or slow the general is, it's more about consistency. You can’t really get meaningful Persona discussion in /pg/ either. The most fun I’ve had talking about games recently was when some Annfag (I think?) recommended me to play SH2 and some occasional Jung-things-that-potentially-could-add-flavour to P6 discussion. That was fun.
Also, 90% of the time I just make a ritual post in /pg/ and then go full read only.

>You’d think /pg/ anons would post here too bumping the thread make it more active
Pretty sure the hulkfag and euphafag and gallicafag are from /pg/ and they're the ones that want to keep the thread up.
Also, what's the point of keeping a thread active by purely posting images and ritualposts? You can take a look at the previous thread and aside from what I assume was (You) and that one anon that had a spergout about (You) talking about the game, legitimately the only times the thread is active is when there's a shitpost. So even the supposed anons ITT that hate shitposts or schizos still do nothing to gather any discussion anyway.
/pg/ also decided to split p5x from discussion so what could've revitalized it simply was cut out (which I guess is fair).
Atlus just sucks at keeping any momentum going anymore, only the most dedicated of autists can talk about (a game) and for slow-paced games like Metaphor, people would rather talk about it to friends or a discord.
It's not like /smtg/ which you still get autists posting their fusion progress or their schizo theories about VV, almost any and all discussion here gets either drowned out or lasts at most 5 posts

Well, there are a few things I'd actually like to talk about...
>schizo theories
Yeah, it’s mostly that and also the possible directions I can see the sequels or spin offs going in and maybe I have a few things I want to criticise as well. But I get that posting my headcanon out of nowhere isn’t going to be interesting to anyone unless there’s a good reason for it.
>hate shitposts
Shitposting isn’t inherently a bad thing it can be fun but there is a line between entertaining shitposts and just low effort bait. 2019 /pg/ had plenty of shitposting but it was fun and actually sparked discussion. I get that once a game’s been out for a while, there’s not much left to say, that’s exactly when autistic creativity should take over, exactly like drawfags doing their thing and retarded theories can keep the general alive until the next game gets dumped out.
>talk about it to friends
Is that really a thing? Because none of my "friends" are into "anime games" and I’ve never met anyone IRL who’s into Atlus games at all.

It's kinda funny looking back at all those thread personalities and how they've got progressively worse over time, all bleeding into each other's styles. You can clearly draw parallels, like the latest ironic schizo and Akechi_hater, or Yuschizo and the Kasumire spammer. I’m just waiting for yukbab to reincarnate. But if you think about it, this is actually kind of thematically fitting for a Persona general.

I was surprised how good the eng dub is. I usually go for Jap voicing in Atlus games because the dubs often feel off and don’t fully capture the characters' personalities. Take Ryuji for example in the Japanese version, his voice actor adds all these different voice shifts (or whatever it’s called) when he’s excited or upset, that really bring out his emotions. In the dub it feels like he’s just saying the lines without that extra nuance.
And I’m not saying the Eng dubs for Persona/SMT are bad, they’re usually fine and some are great like P4, but what they often lack is that dynamic emotional range that makes the characters feel alive.

Autism...
Sex the berg
>>535991063
Speaking of autism, I think Louis might be the only truly autistic individual in M:R. He’s so obsessed with appearances and aesthetics that he can’t take the protag seriously just because he doesn’t look intimidating or rivalry enough. There are no fanfares, no dramatic speeches, no obvious hierarchy in his squad, and that seems to completely throw Louis off.
Maybe I’m overthinking it, but his boss form is incredibly cool, majestic, intimidating etc. but beyond the looks, there’s not much raw power. I wonder if his worldview is shaped by something like autism a strong focus on structure, presentation, and external cues, which blinds him to the actual threat.
>>535999048
Really it's the opposite, he relies heavily on those things in order to gain power, but he doesn't give a shit about any of them. Really he gives negative fucks about appearance, that's why the party gets his attention with a stunt that hurt Forden's standing and why in his post-post-apocalypse the people that "conquer" their anxiety will end up looking like Zorba
>>536001204
If that were the case, then Louis should’ve been shitting his pants the moment he learned about the protagonist and his squad using some unique type of "ancient" magic, which if I get it correctly, could happen fairly early in the game. His fear should've only get stronger after getting intel on who they actually are meaning a group made up of (ex-)loyalists or people closely tied to the former king. Also Del and Basilio probably told him about Eupha too, who can summon powerful entities.
And the moment protag claims to be the long dead prince should’ve gave him a devastating warning. At that point, it really wouldn’t take much effort to put the pieces together and realize this guy is likely being backed by the (dead) king himself. From that moment on Louis should’ve made it his top priority to eliminate this threat by any means necessary.
And once he had all that information, he should’ve been able to grasp why the protagonist and his allies initially targeted the Church, Forden in particular. He could’ve easily interpreted it as a calculated act of revenge for everything the Church had done to him. That kind of move, striking directly at a powerful political power should’ve made it clear that this wasn’t just some attention grabbing stunt from a literal nobody. It was personal. It deserved way more attention than Louis ever gave it. They’re definitely coming after him once the church is out of picture.
Instead, Louis does basically nothing. He’s arrogant and overconfident in his plan. And if I’m being honest, that’s not even unrealistic it mirrors the kind of behavior we see all the time from real political leaders and historical figures.
I’m not trying to say he’s retarded or incompetent, far from it. But his lack of vision, aesthetics obsession and failure to adapt made him vulnerable in the long run.
>>535999048
>>536008761
I disagree with him not taking Will seriously. Why would he call Will his nemesis then and be so focused in the end on him. He even extends his hand to him and says "I can lend you my power". You are overthinking honestly. Louis is very straight forward and more than simple in his approach. He says something and he does it without much scheming. He isn't even arrogant, he just knows that he is strong but he never denies the possibility that he could lose. Sure at the end the melancholy drives him over the edge but at the opera I believed him when he said he wouldn't be fit if that killed him. Plus not outing Will and the party also fits with him not pre-judging people like they did with him with the curse. He even says it's a shame to kill the party at the opera but he can't overlook it anymore with that kind of confrontation. You see this from your own perspective which would plan and scheme more but Louis detests such things and wants to confront things more simply hence why his utopia is also way too unrealistic. He thinks an eqasy solution can solve a difficult issue since he failed before and was disappointed by the king. He wants results now and not something that is uncertain and long-term.
>>536011774
>He even extends his hand to him and says "I can lend you my power"
NTA but he literally doesn't do this though, "lending power" isn't the same as "you must join me". Louis doesn't submit to another (working for Will), he wants others to work for him. That's different.
>>536008761
Everyone becomes aware that Will's group has the Archetypes pretty early on but unlike most people, Louis already knows what they are beyond vaguely "this is the power the hero kings used to use".
Louis doesn't respect the power of kings at all, and the outward appearance of his archetype goes perfectly with this, because the archetypes that all resemble past hero kings are suits of armor meant to shield from anxiety, while his is almost completely nude and offers no protection from it at all. He knows that at the end of the day it's all a sham from people that failed to amount to anything. Your archetypes shit on you and lament not being able to make the world they were looking for the whole game too. He absolutely wouldn't see that power as a threat. Louis doesn't start paying attention to Will because of his magic powers but because he shows signs of being capable of upsetting the status quo.
>>536013578
You literally don't get him, he doesnt give a shit about being the one in charge or becoming king. He just wants his utopia set in motion. If Will sees it the way he does he will acknowledge him as an equal and neither will submit and as More said they will be equals in creating the new world.
>>536015075
>he doesnt give a shit about being the one in charge or becoming king
And when did I say that he does? Again, he doesn't see him as an equal, just someone that has to join him. I know that you fujos like to ship him with Will and everything, but he doesn't care about him beyond being the one stopping his plans and of course it's benefitial for him to join him instead
>>536015293
nice counter, shipping them is the furthest on my mind but not like you'd listen to proper arguments with your fujo boogeyman. They act as equals in the ending or are you saying that More lies?
>>536011774
>He wants results now and not something that is uncertain and long-term
That’s basically what I said too. To me, this is the clearest sign of his arrogance and lack of vision which is kind of ironic, considering he’s supposed to be a genius tactician and highly intelligent, given how fast he rose through the army ranks. which shows that he can indeed play the long game.
Your interpretation makes it seem like he'd face the enemy head on, relying purely on brute force. That’s rarely the smartest move. I get that strategy and scheming aren’t the same thing, but the fact that he ignored all those warnings shows how much he underestimated the opposition or maybe that’s a flaw he developed later on. Also let me remind you that he saw the potential in the necromancer guy in the first place while the others mocked him for being weak, so Louis can indeed be tactical.
And I’m not trying to mock the character. He’s actually a good villain. I just want to point out what I think is the key reason why he ended up cornered so badly and for me, this is the main cause.
>You are overthinking honestly.
Probably, yeah. But it takes overthinking to come up with dumb stuff like Nuwa (in disguise) is actually the (Prince’s) protag’s mother. I quite enjoy overthinking it's just part of the fun.
>>536014403
It really doesn’t matter how he views archetypes or how much he respects the kings of the past. This thing is a real threat, a force to be reckoned with. We're talking about something capable of killing both dragons and humans, and it’s in the hands of a group of loyalists who have every reason to want him dead. And yet he does nothing, although he knows that in a β€œfair” fight, he doesn’t stand a chance against them. So despite all his ideals he always ends up pulling some trick to β€œwin” that alone shows he’s not even following the rules of his own utopia thing.

>>536016781
But I’m not a fujo, Anon…
>>536016578
I agree it's stupid of him. He is a hypocrite in some ways indeed but I still love him with all his flaws. His definition of power changes often enough to fit his narrative and the half truths he tells are scheming if you want to define it like that. I'd say he really is insane and for sure is smart and tactical but in a mad way to either win or lose it all at times. Alone that it is Zorba saving him should in his definition be not his own power but he frames it like that anyway.
>>536016578
>something capable of killing both dragons and humans
This is ultimately insignificant at the level Louis is fighting at. The archetypes are a power marred by failure, Humans are something he can manufacture and kill at will, and dragons are just wandering husks with no identity that were slaves to his tribe. The party's archetype powers aren't even why he loses in the end, it's because Will pushes past that history of failure using that collective history left for him by all the past kings including his father (this is also why you get the hero king weapons on the Tyrant Star from killing the copied humans)

>>536017585
Where did I ever say you can’t love him because of something? That’s not what I meant. My point is simply that he could’ve been a better villain. And improving him wouldn’t even be that hard. Even something simple as just making him hate all the other tribes and view only the Elda as the foundation of his utopia because they lack the distinct features. If I’m understanding things right, he knows the Elda are the closest to your average true humans. That alone would justify a more radical ideology something like β€œpurge the mutants and heretics” It’s a simple change that gives him a clearer strategic vision and also reinforces the dual interpretation of the Utopia novel.
>>536018384
>This is ultimately insignificant
So insignificant that he nearly gets killed, "loses" a "duel" and even gets destroyed in his first Lucifer form? I don’t know, Anon… sounds pretty significant to me. It’s his own fault he let things go to this point.
>>536020341
>Even something simple as just making him hate all the other tribes and view only the Elda as the foundation of his utopia because they lack the distinct features
He doesn't care about this though, if he truly hated all other tribes he wouldn't have bothered to gather all the lowly tribes around him like Paripus and Nidia (and a half-blood). He's not Actually Hitler like people think he has to be.
>>536020341
If you make him a racist by seeing people as mutants that literally contradicts all he is right now. When he was still naive he wanted to believe in all tribes united and even later he never favours any race in his ranks. Changing that would destroy the ideal he still holds and that he wants to enforce even further by making everyone equally shouldering the amassed anxiety and deal with their own. I would hate making him in such a predictable villain that just wants his superior race to succeed.
I unironically believe Louis is passively suicidal that's why he has no clear goal and no genuine ambition to make his ideal come true (if he were an actually ambitious character, he'd fight tooth and nail with his life to see it true). He doesn't even imagine himself alive even if he were to accomplish his mission, so all that it boils down to is him throwing a childish tantrum masquerading as a revolution.
>>536020994
But why Hitler? I didn’t even have him in mind when I wrote the post. Aren’t there other purist/revenge driven figures/factions in media to draw comparisons from? Also, using someone like that would’ve made a stronger point especially the idea of using other tribes or groups as tools or test subjects for the upcoming utopia. I’m not saying it’s an ideal approach for the character, it’s just what came to mind first.
>>536021194
He already contradicts his own beliefs, gets killed by someone stronger fair and square, as they say, and then what? Comes back to life claiming to be "the strongest with the vision to create a better world"? That’s already hypocritical, so why not lean into it a little bit more? It seems to me that he genuinely doesn’t care about anything, he wants to be a god figure at any cost, basically he is blinded by his own ambitions. Which is why I think he’s a good villain in the first place.
>>536023098
I can’t even blame him if that’s the case, having to fight an actual Debiru Samana, an autistic princecon knight lady, an agility fuelled cat-bat and Nuwa’s kid is some real hardcore stuff. If anything, he deserves praise for the sheer level of dedication. And I do respect him for that.

Genuinely what fucking news at this point man
There was the 2mil copies announcement not that long ago and nothing happened, several videogame events have happened like nintendo directs, summer gamefes, gamescom, etc and there's been nothing about Metaphor. TGS will come soon and there will also be nothing. "One year" anniversary will have the same fanfare the 2mil sales did, maybe a Soejima drawn picture of Gallica's butthole and that's it.
>>536116030

>>536129859
That's a pretty defeatist take, Anon, but I can't blame you really, considering how Atlus has been handling all their IPs lately. Still, sooner or later, we'll get something even if it's just an official Gallica's butthole plushie or whatever.
>"One year" anniversary
I'm not expecting anything huge like a spinoff, but I want to believe they're at least doing something. Even SH2 got the 'bonus story arc' and that game sold less than M:R.
They're not going to announce anything until they announce Metaphor rerelease (and probably switch port at the same time). And that could be a couple of years away still. Obviously Hashino's group is working on something. Whether it is Metaphor rerelease, Metaphor 2, Catherine 2, or something altogether new we'll find out eventually. But if the thread needs news to survive then it is doomed. It doesn't need news though. The thread will last until the fujos that run it cruelly abandon Louis for their next thirst. Then nothing can save /meta/.
Reload spoiled people into thinking Atlus can release DLC fast when the Answer has been FES content that has existed for at least 15 years. It's not new or unique, and it was outsourced to boot so that's why it looks even shittier than base reload.
Atlus is absurdly allergic to post-release content, every DLC ever planned or to be released will always be announced with the game's original release and nothing else thereafter.

If /meta/ is destined to slowly die off, then maybe that’s just the natural way of things. I remember digging through old Persona and SMT threads a few years ago just for fun and even back then, they weren’t all that active. They’d collapse and come back again, over and over. I’m not trying to draw any comparisons here, just something I noticed.
I’m still not sure how sustainable this general is in the long run, but I’d feel bad if it disappeared completely. There’s still a lot I want to talk about I just need a bit more time to polish my absolutely schizophrenic theories while I replay the game, which I’m doing right now.
As for the rerelease, my guess is we’ll get it two years after the original launch, seems like a reasonable assumption given how Atlus has handled things in the past, with SMTIV and SMTIVA for example. Not sure why would the Switch port change something but I guess itd certainly increase the sales somewhat.
>>536155378
>they weren’t all that active.
What? /smtg/ is probably the oldest general on the entire site right next to /lolg/. I remember SMT threads being made on /v/ since forever, and back then SMT and Persona wasn't split. But what /smtg/ and /pg/ have is that they're franchise generals, not generals for a single game. Generals for a single game will inevitably get their well deserved death or spiral completely into complete blog nonsense like katawa and miiside generals. BUT at least those are driven by waifufag schizos. Though do you really want a thread to just be basically the equivalent of sumischizo posting images all the way until bump limit?
There's also the generals that get botted to hell like whatever happened to kerbal
>>536155925
Maybe I was looking at the wrong threads, that’s probably the most reasonable explanation. If that’s the case, sorry for being a retard, Anon.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying that constant hornyposting/waifuposting/spamming just to keep the general alive is good. I just feel a bit selfish for showing up so late to the party. Like with that recent Louis discussion it seems like people have already talked it to death and then I suddenly post my Very Important Opinion out of nowhere.
That said, I do think a natural flow of waifuposting has its place. It’s part of fun and we shouldn’t act like it has zero value.
I’m not complaining about the thread speed or anything like that. I just see a lot of potential both in the general and the game. If Atlus plays their cards right, this could be more than just the usual formula maybe even a big step forward or a meaningful expansion of what’s already there.

Every game takes forever to make nowadays. I usually assume it is because of the graphics but Atlus games aren't ambitious in graphics and still take forever to come out.
>>536209994
they are okay with like 2-3 game releases a year in revenue and that includes all their franchises hence why this year is fine for them with literally nothing substantial with P5X, Raidou and the P3 port. All pillars are now in competition and have to wait their turns since they wouldn't want one very good year in sales with several releases and then a bad one next since they churned out main titles in one go.
>>536207260

O POWER OF KINGS
I usually love Atlus games but I think I'm burned out on the fucking 120 hour RPG genre now. So much of Metaphor specifically just felt like filler too. If they condensed it down to 40 hours and cut the fat it could've been much better. Compare it to Expedition 33 which is much more tightly paced and had more interesting side content.
>>536218002
I was going to reply to this seriously but then you brought E33.
>>536218002
The trick is to make it a huge paragraph and mention E33 right at the end, that way you increase the chances of people wasting their time reading the whole thing without noticing
>>536218716
>>536220202
This is my first time in this general but that's genuinely how I feel. Loved P3, 4 and 5 but Metaphor burned me out by the end. The intentionally genetic fantasy setting didn't help. The biggest strike against the narrative to me too was how much time they had to establish all their races and yet by the end they still feel so homogenous, cultureless and basically like humans with hats. If this thread doesn't like Expedition 33 then compare the race issue to Mass Effect. You can have a clear idea on how Salarians, Quarians, Krogan and Asari are different culturally but I challenge you to make any meaningful, non aesthetic distinction between a Clemar, Roussante, Rhoag and Ishkia in game. If you took off the aesthetic I guarantee you couldn't tell them apart.
>>536221549
I do agree with the racial aspect and wish they did look more like non-people but I feel like I guess it's intentional that they do look like humans with hats? Because in the end, they really are "human" but despite the twist, I think it's lazy and lame to not actually give them better proper traits.
But I disagree with the game length because I actually felt Metaphor is way shorter than a persona game, and with the plot being so linear it feels even more so that you don't get to actually explore or understand the setting beyond what's being fed to you.
>>536222013
My save file for Metaphor came out to about 120 and I did all the side content, which you're kinda expected to do imo given how many days you have, even then I had to sleep for 2 weeks to burn out the timer. P5Royal came out to like 140 by the end also doing all side content. My point is that it's given so much time to show you the setting and races and it simply doesn't. Even the drawing quest for the little girl at the pub where you find these big landmark locations that are supposed to look amazing are single images on your pitstop that you don't actually walk through at all.
e33 is just better
>>536221549
clemars are hotheaded. quick to anger yet also sometimes gentle and kind. they're aristocratic as a tribe with nobility being important.

rouissantes like to hide certain things out of insecurity or act bigger than they actually are. but sometimes they can be honest. they're the strongest physically out of all the tribes.

rhoags lust for power yet can sometimes also be charitable. they make up most the elders of society sure to their long lifespans.

ishkias are fearful yet also very brave and take risks. they're also the intellectuals of society.

Those are official descriptions but in your actual encounters none of those traits really stand out enough to be memorable. And it's not like you can even use the excuse that the physical differences aren't big enough since in games like VTMB you can tell quickly whether you're speaking to a Brujah, Tremere or Malkavian by their behaviors despite looking like normal vampires.
>>536221549
Hm, that’s a surprisingly "new" take coming from a MEfag, assuming you are one, because it reflects how I used to view the game back when I was into it.
In terms of "culturally distinctive" alien species, only a few really stand out quarians (to an extent) and certainly the Elcor and Hanar. But the latter two have mostly been treated as comic relief rather than serious cultural entities. The major races don’t feel all that alien. They’re essentially humans with cosmetic differences. They create nerdy tabletop games, write love poetry, watch porn, and even salarians get underpaid. All of it is deeply human.
You could argue that these similarities are a result of convergent development, like organics interpreting the universe in similar ways which is true and therefore is a great explanation why they feel LIKE humans but the game never even addresses this line of reasoning, but still, every race is just a flavour of humanity with a quirky gimmick, basically.
Take Tali, for instance: is her worldview or cognitive style really that different from a human female's? Not really. Is Garrus' obsession with justice something uniquely Turian? No, it’s a human trait too.
It makes the whole galaxy feel familiar by being so human once you look past the codex entries.
Oddly enough, the most underdeveloped culture of all is mankind itself. BioWare gave humans no cultural identity, no music, no art, no ideology beyond Cerberus or biotic extremism. Beings from planet Earth exist mainly as a default species that colonise planets and get buttfucked by bad things, waiting for Shepard to save them. With such a blank slate as the standard, even mildly unique alien species seem diverse by comparison.
So for me, Mass Effect was never great because it created a rich and unique galaxy, it was great because it had strong characters and interesting story lines. Beyond that, it’s just your average sci-fi franchise.
>>536234825
I agree with a lot of that, unfortunately it's a limit that we're stuck with given that human experience only extends to humans and understanding a genuinely alien mindset is very difficult. If you write a truly alien society that functions off blue and orange morality rather than black or white it's much harder to make a real connection with them, especially in a story driven RPG rather than a more abstracted, zoomed out take like a Grand Strategy game.

Not at all. For any pretty much any of the npcs you could swap out the aforementioned races for another and no one is going to bat an eye. It's one thing to copy a wiki description of a race but if their identity isn't present and meaningful in a story where the core message is clan identity and the friction between them then you've made an awful misstep. Even in the cases of oppression and discrimination there's little setup for it. Paripus are treated like shit... because they just are. There's never any justification given to why. The Eugief are at least closed off and alien looking with l enough for people to be put off. With both the Elda and Mustari they're hated and distrusted because the church said so but you don't get that level of venom in real racism without a root cause on the ground, some real friction. Not to mention that despite supposedly their being so much clan friction the entire world is a multiracial melting pot as is with no segregation or homogenous villages other than the Eugief or Mustari. It's a mutt world already.

That brings up issues with the Church as well that despite being so central to the plot they never really go into what the church actually believes. Their God, their tenants, their values etc. It's treated purely as a stand in for the old, inflexible intolerable world with Christian aesthetics without giving any kind of depth or redeeming factor or history.
>>536236647
You don’t really need alien aliens to make a world feel rich or different, you need to establish history and relationships and M:R does that well enough. Like there's this subtle (or sometimes not-so-subtle) distrust or fear/hate/phobia of the Elda. What’s interesting is that it doesn’t come across as simple prejudice, like how some tribes treat the Paripus or call them dirty or filthy, instead, Elda are seen as a β€œbad omen,” which feels more cultural or symbolic. I haven’t seen a clear reason given for this yet (maybe I missed it or again just overthink it all again), but that little detail could be expanded into something bigger. It’s the kind of nuance that makes the cultural "world building", I fucking hate this term, feel real.
Also, chasing the idea of truly alien, abstract cultural morality usually leads to cthulhu which isn’t great if you're trying to explore grounded cultural differences.
>>536239562
>Paripus are treated like shit... because they just are. There's never any justification given to why.
You know exactly why
>>536239562
paripus stereotypically stupid and driven by indulgences. they tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves which is an undesirable trait for nips.
they also look like literal animals.
>>536239562
None of these examples are any good desu
No one likes paripus because they're crude hedonists that go around looking for handouts, and then on top of that they tanked the blame for the riots. Game depicts this very well and fills in some of the gaps if you actually bother to engage with the world instead of treating every event like a sidestory or part time job in persona
The mustari are unpopular because on top of being pagans they gatekeep their own religion and culture, they don't care if you're racist or not
Elda were already disliked before Sanctism was the state religion because they were feared for their magic
The Church doesn't name their one god but the rest of this you get all the time and it's all very typically Christian and it absolutely has a redeeming factor, because the reason why they switched to igniters and wrote eldan racism into their scripture in the first place is because they wanted to hard stop prevent another apocalypse from happening and this corrupted like all other forms of leadership in the story
>>536239562
the church's precise beliefs aren't really important.
what's important is how their censorship served a purpose and how the community itself made people feel safe.
and closurei is specifically meant as a dig on them to show that were just burying their heads in the sand and denying reality. and reality vs. fantasy is a big theme in metaphor.
If you want to criticize Meteophor's wirldbuilding you have to at bare minimum be able to tell me what the leading theories are on what a dragon crystal is and what they're used for and what Saint's Day is actually celebrating and what the main symbol of it is otherwise I will not reply to you
I have spoken
>>536241887
They look like kemonomimi with ears and tails. That's a far stretch from looking like animals especially when you have ishkia with bird wings. And being indulgent or emotional doesn't cause public hangings and pogroms. It's not like Khajit in Elder Scrolls who have an affinity for their homeland drug, are naturally sneaky and have weird cultural notions of successful theft justifying itself to give them the reputation of drug smuggling thieves. Or Quarians being known as drifters and thieves because they're a nomadic race that have to bring something back of value to the floatilla as a coming of age dial ritual. In these cases you have culture, biology and history influence perception and racism because it's based on actions. In Metaphor they created races who had roles they wanted to fulfill but failed to write them into fulfilling those roles organically so you have racism based on next to nothing and it feels disjointed.
>>536242945
>the church's precise beliefs aren't really important
How can it not be important when it's a central driving element of the setting? It breaks immersion and looks shallow when you have a cultural tent pole organization have the depth of a puddle and clearly exist as a strawman against the parties good, progressive, diverse, liberal ideals instead of being a force that people would actually want to follow and does important work in the world.

>>536244140
Not that anon but the point was that birds are animals too, so Ishika should be more like failed angels than failed birds.
>>536247427
The real point was that the appearance of the paripus is a point against them, and the appearance of the ishkia is not a counterpoint for that because their appearance also works against them
>>536246521
Believe whatever you want man.
Paripus = niggers
Elda = indians
Mustari = mudslims
Clemar = brits
Ishkia = germans
Eugief = chinks
Roussante = russians
Nidia = probably americans because they're all faggots
the problem with this "counter argument" is that it ignores the several other points that were made like paripus chasing handouts, being dumb, and pursuing indulgent hedonistic lifestyles.
paripus are hated for a plethora of reasons.
>>536244656
This is still a really flimsy argument I think, the paripus get hung for crimes they haven't committed and the public buys it because of all these different things put together, not because of any one factor. You might as well call the average person not batting an eye if a token poor retard gets thrown in jail every day with 0 context poor world building
>>536248412
>>536248609
The trouble with that line of thinking is that it goes counter to the games stated philosophy of racial equality and justice. It's shown through pretty much every paripus questline that they end up getting exploited to the point they're being massacred and used as targets in igniter experiments. Saying "they deserve to be hated because they're retarded hedonists" goes againsts the games primary message and as such is either invalidated by the games own logic or undermines the core message.

>>536249165
Sorry anon, I didn't realize that liking a different RPG means you're a troll by default.
>>536249165
Despite how shitposted the game got here, E33 does serve as a point of comparison to be fair because what other pseudo-fantasy game can you compare it to that released in the past year?
>>536249131
>It's shown through pretty much every paripus questline that they end up getting exploited to the point they're being massacred and used as targets in igniter experiments
That is exactly ONE paripus story, and it's not like you have to go digging to find the rest of it either. Literally the only other paripus follower you have has to deal with a clemar trying to profit off of her because her countrymen are too fucking stupid and lazy even when they know exactly what's going on
>>536249405
>what other pseudo-fantasy game
This is dishonest criteria to begin with
E33 is a fantasy world with fantasy things in it even on the outermost "level" of it. It's a shitty fantasy world, and it's a product that was tailored to the lowest common denominator possible, but it's still a fantasy world
>>536249691
If you genuinely believe that they deserve to be discriminated against because they're inherently a shit race then please address the second half of my post about it running counter to the games message.
>>536243556
>Or Quarians being known as drifters and thieves because they're a nomadic race that have to bring something back of value to the floatilla as a coming of age dial ritual.
Originally they became outcasts not because they were space nomads, but because they created the Geth. They basically planted a ticking time bomb on the galaxy. But when it all blew up in their faces locally, they went crawling to the Council, begging for help. That’s the kind of thing that leaves a lasting mark.
Beliefs and biases are layered. It shouldn’t just be β€œRace A is bad because they’re sneaky and steal things” or β€œRace B is bad because they’re strong and stupid”. That’s the kind of shallow worldbuilding that turns everyone into β€œhumans with funny hats” which, as you’ve said, sucks. But still, this kind of framing could only really work when you account for the passage of time, where the original reason for hatred or distrust gets buried so deep into a culture that it becomes part of the CU.
>>536249957
Nta, the point I was making with E33 in the first place wasn't about it being a fantasy game, it was a matter of pacing and game length. If you want a more distant comparison since apparently this general has had some beef with E33 before I got here then look at Chrono Trigger. 25-30 hours and nothing feels disposable or drags. I'd rather take a good short game with no filler than something padded for time. I love Metroidvania games and survival horror and you can beat most of those in like 8 hours or less.
>>536250660
You want to say this game is padded for time yet you can barely go over anything that happens in it without talking out of your ass, and you latched onto this retarded paripus argument after throwing everything else out because you were already soundly beaten with clear examples of every single other thing you pretended you had actual arguments for
You probably go into threads for other games saying shit like this often and wonder why no one likes E33 or its fans kek
>>536250217
???? I don't even know what this means
Did you even do Catherina's follower story or what
>>536250660
Filler can be good or fun though but this is me speaking as a Personafag. I would have liked to see the main party have a bit more fun together outside of ((plot reasons)), you can bring the guys to the hot springs for a scene but that's not enough for me. In fact, the guys keep getting all the scenes (laundry, hot springs) but none of the girls do.
i don't know why he's so stuck on paripus being for a reason either. "it goes against the themes."
all the tribes have reasons to be hated by another triibe. ishikia despite being high in the tribe hierarchy are hated for acting like elitist snobs over their intelligence.
but it's also not as simple as they deserve to be hated because all the tribes are also more than their stereotypes.
there's contradiction in everything. that's the point.
>>536251000
You caught me anon, I've never even played Metaohor. I'm a paid shill sent by big France sent to destabilize the 4chan general of an RPG that released almost a year ago. There's no way I can have a real opinion that runs counter to yours unless I'm doing it maliciously or dishonestly.

why are you even on a general for a hashino game?
>>536251604
There's little chance you have this particular opinion that happens to revolve around already fully contested generalized statements unless you're doing it maliciously or dishonestly
>>536251284
Party camaraderie stuff like that is fun, one thing that bugs me in this and most rpgs is that there's very little interaction between your party members in general. Octopath Traveler was the worst for it. For all its faults at least the DS Fire Emblem games had some friendship scenes between units.
>>536251509
>ishikia despite being high in the tribe hierarchy are hated for acting like elitist snobs over their intelligence
Not really. They take up high positions in society and exist alongside everyone else. Like I said earlier itt most of the races in the games exist together fine, nearly every city except the Eugief and the Mustari are big multicultural pots that look like NYC demographically. It makes it harder to buy the whole racism tearing the kingdom apart thing when everyone is living together with very little issue.
>everyone is living together with very little issue
okay, i've been out baited. i'm tired now. goodbye.
I guess it was too much to expect a general on /vg/ to not take anything critical as bait.
>>536251509
>i don't know why he's so stuck on paripus being for a reason either
Its because the chatbot being used to generate those posts can only focus on one "main idea" in what I'm prompting it with at a time so I have to skip over every post that's a response to more than one thing said in a previous post. Because otherwise I would have to prompt it a bunch of times for one reply and then logic really starts to fall apart since it doesn't really know what it said in other parts of the post I'm stringing together.
>>536252964
But he's not entirely wrong? You'll see Eugiefs and Mustaris all over Brilehaven and Altabury. I remember an Altabury NPC mustari woman said they don't get as persecuted there because Sanctism used to not be as dominant some years ago. There are "issues" that they do face discrimination but I think what he means is that there is no place that has a complete ban on an specific tribe. Well, aside from Elda being forbidden as a whole.

This is because the locals know them from before it became the state religion. Like the innkeeper that doesn't wear his mask - but there's still friction there, which is why he doesn't want any trouble under his roof and was going to throw the party out until he found out Eupha was there.

The moral of this story is that /meta/'s poster base is too consistent for you to get them with the "I'm new to this general but I have the exact same opinions as the last disingenuous poster that was here" routine

You may be asking how you differentiate that from any retard. The answer is a bot or generator will generally have better spelling unless someone went out of their way to tweak the output afterward to seem more legitimate
>>536367716
genuine mental ilness
>>536367716
>if you have better spelling you're a bot
>If you make mistakes or your wording is off you're an ESL SEA faggot
You just can't win. Dammit...
Still, even if someone is using Sophia to make shitposts or push some opinion, wouldn’t this mysterious lad just be wasting his time? Something like that would take more than one person to really have an effect, right?
>literally interprets anything said to it
I'm more interested in this part, really, it sounds like a dead giveaway but if there is a "person feeding it prompts" wouldn't the same person check the post for something this obvious? And yeah low effort posting is a real thing, so it might explain it as well.
>>536379747
Are you seriously replying to someone so genuinely schizophrenic that believes that someone would bother "botting" and "using chat gpt" to a dead general that doesn't even have 10 posts per hour? Like yes, there's totally this same person, who is completely dedicated to spam the Metaphor Re:Fantazio general on /vg/, yet only does it on weekdays and at random inconsistent time intervals?
I'm a gachanigger, I know schizos when I see them. A random poster with bad opinions you don't like isn't a "schizo", a schizo would be actually spamming the thread 24/7 EVEN IF nobody is replying.
I can't believe that half the thread is all this garbage. It takes just as much to another "non-schizo" anon to do low-tier shitposts and who's even posting in this general enough to go against it? It's all the same shit.
Also, how come nobody thinks the actual literal imagedumper anon is a genuine bot? He posts the exact same images EVERY thread exactly when the thread hits page 10
>>536381106
Translation: I'm still very very angry someone figured out what I was doing
>>536379747
I think it's pretty simple - you feel like fucking around one day and you want to trick other posters into replying to something you didn't actually write to feel clever
This is just something he's gone through multiple times different ways and he locked into this
>repeat same talking points about the in-game races
>double down when thread disagrees
>gets called out
>not all discussion is shitposting
>who is klingerschizo? I don't know who that is
>don't listen to them they're retarded
>man this general sucks it can't take any criticism whatsoever I'm leaving
So many times at this point you have to literally not be a regular to not notice. So your confusion is understandable
>>536381106
>he already forgot how much shit he wrote in /pg/ that one time the thread fell off page 10 that one time

The idea itself of using Soapy for shitposting/baiting is definitely a thing, but I’d honestly be pretty disappointed if that’s what’s happening. If I wanted to talk about the game with a Sophia, I’d just go do that directly. And again I reply to whoever I want, just for fun.
>>536385743
Hm, I actually remember some of those posts from when I initially got into this general. Kinda funny to think I might’ve been caught in the crossfire. Still, I probably just need a bit more time to see if anything’s actually going on.

With variations and varying quantity. Doing the cathedral asap let's you do the first two ranks of strohl and hulk asap.

>>536442378
My first playthrough strategy was usually pretty straightforward
>focus on the story dungeons first
>work on SLs and Social Stats (depending on which characters I found interesting)
>and mix that with side dungeons (which are pretty easy to complete in a single day if you’re tactical about managing MP)
I’m not sure how efficient this was, probably not very so, since I ended the game with three unmaxed SLs. And I didn’t bother buying gear, aside from a few of the expensive unique weapons. Most of my cash went to healing items and cooking ingredients. I also avoided using the Merchant to farm extra money and MAG mostly for fun, but also because that mechanic is somewhat broken I think.
The game is pretty retardproof too, you really have to go out of your way to mess things up, like I did that one time when I spent about three hours trying to figure out how to survive an extra boss’s one-shot agi AoE, only to realise later that it was impossible without some Null Fire crap which I discovered later. I basically wasted three in-game days because I had no idea it was required. Totally on me for being a low IQ retard.
But anyway, M:R gives you plenty grind time so you won’t be really underlevelled for boss fights and hands you overpowered items for free like that one 100% crit chance in bad weather necklaces and more than enough time to finish basically everything.
>This MP system is retarded, you have to sit there and grind if you want to do the dungeon in one day and if you don't it's basically a penalty
>This game was too easy to do everything in I had 2 weeks left at the end of the game with nothing to do

M:R leans left most of the time, but that doesn’t make it a bad game (Fallout 2 was like that too btw). Even the narrative itself critiques the Utopia vision by characters acknowledging that a system of that scale isn’t truly β€œutopic” due to its inherent flaws.
If anything the game comes across more as meritocracy propaganda at worst and a centrist power fantasy at best.
Also, if you look past the β€œtribe” discourse, the deeper theme is more about class struggle than a direct commentary on racism or anything like that.
But anyway It’s a shame Catherina was just one small step away from becoming Euchronia’s own Makhno and… I suppose a working faction system wasn’t part of the developers’ vision and adding one might’ve undermined the core Prince vs. Louis conflict.
my commie queen is in fact a poser :(
>>536516040
The irony in /v/'s SEA audience is that Metaphor is about how the higher thought ideals they spend all day shitposting about don't actually work. But because the protagonist has dark skin it actually means that globalism and mass immigration are the way.
Imagine their level of does not compute when this image was made
>>536517270
They're good poses though
>>536517540
I wasn’t around at launch, so I missed all the discourse about the game and protag being β€œdark skinned” and how it all ties into modern day themes. But if anything should’ve stirred the shitshow, it’s the game’s β€œantihuman” undertone in general and β€œeat da bugs” thing, that would’ve actually made more sense.

I'm replaying the game and I just love the Dragon God Temple dungeon I’m not even sure why. There's nothing particularly special about it, but it just feels great. Maybe it’s the music or the comments about "old world stuff" that makes it soulful.
It’s kind of a shame the game doesn’t have more of this. Hopefully, Atlus adds some more when the game gets rereleased.
And I know the dungeon is far from perfect it’s pretty simple, lacks proper challenges (especially for NG+ run) and there are definitely ways it could have been done better. But still, it has a certain soul to it, at least for me.
Also, the early floors really remind me of Fallout 2’s Temple of Trials. I doubt it was intentional, but either way, it feels good.
