“The culmination of Atlus' policy of ‘originality and empathy’”.
Metaphor: ReFantazio takes place in the United Kingdom of Euchronia following the assassination of its king.
What follows is a political tournament to determine the next ruler, which anyone can enter.
And where school life is like a journey with a set end, Metaphor will work similarly.
Travel itself will take place on machines called Gauntlet Runners, which look like ships with giant legs.
These have been designed by Ikuto Yamashita, famous for his work on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Background artwork, meanwhile, has been designed by Koda Kazuma (NieR: Automata).
Another twist on Persona is Metaphor’s magic system.
In this world, people are born with heroic aspects which awaken when inspired by others.
Battles will be both turn-based and real-time, with players able to choose how they approach enemies.
Atlus also shared astatement on the game in Japanese, whichNoisyPixelhas translated.
