Today we're talking about real video games (not Web3 Ponzis, hehe).

Specifically, we'll discuss Atlus' next game: "Metaphor: ReFantazio". Persona 5 (& Royal) is among my favorite games of all time, for many reasons, and I could talk about it for hours. For this reason, I'm very excited to see the studio create a new IP with new themes.

The excellent Twitter account Persona_Central translated fan Q&A responses from the developers via the Atlus Exclusive "Metaphor: Stalker Club Final" live stream.

Throughout these, we learn about the main character's name (or lack thereof), the potential social links, the relationship with SMT/Persona, and also the "Archetype" system (think like jobs in other RPGs). These elements are also partly covered in the following video, so take a look!

In this 25-minute showcase presented by Katsura Hashino (Director of SMT 3, Persona 3, 4, 5, and many others), we discover the game's latest story trailer, but also a lengthy presentation about the story, the features, city hubs, different biomes, the combat system, the archetypes (jobs/roles), but also the absolutely stacked staff working on this title.

I, for one, am very excited and invite you to watch the thing if you like Persona!
