XiTieShiZ Metaphor: ReFantazio Review

Oct 23, 2024
A trustable starting point for the "3rd core" of Atlus. Unique fantasy world settings making it different from other RPGs while having a heavy style of Atlus. Amazing art design that shows the tension created by the mixing of art styles in different eras. Combat and building system is newly-created while also familiar, and even achived the depth of SMT5V. Dungeon design is okay with well-designed mainline dungeons and several small but enjoying sub dungeons. On the social sim part from persona, this game did well done on cutting useless element while keeping the soul of it. The story is not bad with multiple climax on plot. Afterall, I'm pretty satisfied on what they did for the first game of a new IP, and looking foward to what they can give us in the future.

Pros

Deep battle system
Nice plot
A whole "metaphor" behind the game
Stunning visuals
Brilliant music

Cons
