Archetype system felt really uninspired and a step backwards compared to other SMT type entries. Characters were bland and uninteresting especially the main character. First "persona" game not set in highschool and youre not able to romance social links. Also what was the point of the story revolving around a race if you can take your time doing anything and having no significant time constraints?

I could muster strength to finish p5 once
Metaphor had no hook storywise so i quit like midway thru it
If you HATE school setting with burning passion you might like metaphor more but i don't see any other reason

Im playing through it right now. I think the main issue is how slow the Game is moving and the highlights and set pieces not being worth all the work you put in to get there. The story cries to be more fast-paced and more hard-hitting. Social links feel out of place in a non high school setting. Louis is bland and one-dimensional as fuck.

Unironically one of the better RPGs in years.
If you want to chalk that up as there not being much competition that's fine, but the state of RPGs is really fucking dire.

Combat system is severely limiting. It plays like a slower version of pokemon. If you want to customize your characters archetypes it's so slow it feels like a punishment.
The story is mostly filler, and you have to engage with the filler in order for your characters to progress.
Dialogue options are largely unnecessary as they rarely affect anything substantial.
There are segments of the game where you'll go hours without actually playing the game. Large segments of the dialogue and story feel like they were written by AI.
Somehow, the game is both overexplained, overly simple, and yet still unclear on first playthrough.
Character design, IMO, is cringe.
This game would have been great if it came out in the ps2 era, but it felt like a chore to play in the modern era.

I can see why people think Louis is a damn good villain.
his crashing of the King's funeral gave more presence/character/motivation than recent major FF badguys (Bartlandus, Ardyn, and Ultima) COMBINED

He definitely has presence. The issue is he becomes lamer the longer the game goes on.

This. You might not like Metaphor, but it did really well and a lot of people did. Just disingenuous to equate the 2.

I feel like that's what makes him work. Not sure how far in you are, but I like his might makes right way of thinking. Plays out nicely in the end without spoiling anything.

Based on Persona's stupid 'any interaction takes hours' framework.
At least we aren't wasting time attending school when the world's in danger.

It relies on understanding politics of the French Revolution, which are far too hard for the average Personababby to get.

Asset recycling only bested by Falcom, boring archetype designs, pointless Persoyna calendar system, nothing happening: the story.

Are you talking about yourself? Every non-story dungeon is a copy-pasted asset flip of other dungeons.
No romance options. For a Persona type game that is unacceptable.

Literally didn't buy it because of it. I am only marginally ashamed of this fact. Persona dating elements suck fucking ass too, of course.

Brainrot. Romance is barely a thing in those games and the stuff that's there isn't even good or aknowledged.
>social links are the same apart from a choice at the end
>maybe 1-3 very short events where you sit and hold hands at best during the game outside of this
>romance ends with the character saying they like the protag, then it is never mentioned again and ignored when the ending rolls around

This. I got stuck of battling and put the game down. The combat feels "solved" when you have the solutions to each encounter but they're not as easy to breeze through we "mash A to attack and win" so the combat drags on after a while. Its a weird mix of executing rote actions but it still takes long enough that it's hard to ignore. Boss fights were cool.

I found it more varied since every character could use multiple archetypes, unlike in Persona. Persona games are hard carried by the protag being able to use several personas.

It's faster to name the good ideas:
-Shorter social links.
-Cool monster design inspired by Bosh (for, like, 3 or 4 models, but still).
-Calling the monsters "humans" was funny.
-Cool combat music
And that's it. All the rest was shit.
