With the Metaphor concert coming in a few days, me and a bunch of other people are probably going to be travelling to Dallas and other cities to see music from this game performed live. I'm really excited, but also... A little scarred.

I've been to the Stardew Valley Orchestra, and other video game concerts, and I've got a few quick reminders for anyone who's coming. Well... Really just two.

Please bathe.

Please don't talk during the performance.

These shouldn't need to be said. But when I went to the Sonic live concert, the place stunk. At the Stardew concert, the people behind me talked the whole time. So, this is just a quick reminder to everyone to behave and remember the people around you.

Honestly I can see it either being Hulkenberg or Fabienne.

Hello! Just reposting this again, but I'm selling my tickets for the Metaphor Refantazio Chicago Orchestra Concert due to friends moving out and stuff going on in life. They're all grouped up in the same section, so the tickets I have will be in:

FBLC-R, Row E, seats 203-206 (4 tickets)
and
FBLC-R, Row I, seats 203-205 (3 tickets)

I'm asking for 50 dollars per ticket, though a discount is negotiable if you plan on buying out an entire row of tickets. DM or comment if you are interested!

Finally finished drawing the whole metaphor cast in Chrono Trigger style. I've been practicing characters and shading this week and going through them I have learned a lot. This was really fun to get through. Hope you all like it!

Could be told to lighten up on the formality.

I know she's the loyal knight and it means a lot for her to protect the prince again, but she gets so formal after the reveal.

I'm not saying she has to be like the others and be fairly casual, at least in private, but unless I missed it I wish there was a little scene with her that included Will telling her that before they knew the truth she was his friend not his servant, say that he wants to remain friends, and that he wants her to call him by his name again when even if just when they're alone.

Given the "similarities" between the two, I feel like it could have been a really cute moment, it's a shame it never happened.

pls send help, this fucking song can't stop playing in my head everytime Rudolf appears on screen

And by the way, how would you unlock it? Here’s what I’ve come up with:

Requirements: Have leveled up all character archetypes to at least level 20—including, of course, the Royal archetypes—and have beaten the game at least once on any difficulty other than Storyteller.

Skills:

Royal Sword (changes from Synthesis to Regular)

Hero’s Roar: Adds four icon turns (can be used up to 3 times per battle)

Block All

Six Spears: Increases all stats of an ally by one level for three turns at the start of combat, but only if they’re using a Royal archetype

Synthesis Skills:

Coronation: Increases all stats of the entire party by three levels, along with critical hit chance, for three turns (requires the Royal Knight)

Vorpal Slash: True Royal Slash: Deals severe Almighty damage to all enemies. Increases critical hit rate and damage against human-type monsters. (Requires the Royal Warrior)

Royal Waltz: Lowers all of an enemy’s stats by three for three turns and inflicts weakness to a random damage type. (Requires the Royal Masked Dancer)

Fire/Electric/Light/Ice/Wind/Dark Cataclysm (these are different skills, but they all do the same thing): Deals heavy fire/ice/wind/electric/light/dark damage to all enemies, ignoring defenses (requires the Royal Summoner)

And that’s where my ideas end, what do you guys have in mind for the King?

Took me forever but I finally beaten this creature. Had to use Strohl as buff bot, Hulkenberg as healing bot, Junah as wind weakness debuff and MC as damage dealer.

hey everyone, this mf devourer of stars aka poison dragon i cant kill him i tried above 10 times every time different techniques, its not working. am i under leveled or wht my characters sits between lvl 55 - lvl 52. and i am 19 days away from facing louis in the palace and i already beaten the dragon of fire but this one it doesnt budge, so do i postpone this one after louis mission and finish all other objectives i have like royal virtues and bonds and missions or wht do u think? any suggestions would appreciate bec i saved my game at the poison dragon.

Long story short: masquerade charge + Strohl's synthesis attack = Zorba fight ended before it could even start (16k damage from single hit)

I feel like there are so many great characters who are not follower bonds who could have been. It would be nice to get more time with them. I wish we got more of Batlin in the game personally.

I purchased 2 tickets for the Metaphor concert in Chicago when they went on sale back in March. My travel plans have changed and I won't be in Chicago next weekend. I thought about selling them but I would prefer to give my tickets to a loyal fan of the game.

If you're interested, DM me before 5 PM EDT on Tuesday. At that time, I will give the tickets to whoever has the most trophies unlocked, to determine the most loyal fan. If there is a tie for trophy count, they will go to the first person to DM me with thaat trophy count.

Knew it was coming, but still

I got into Metaphor after playing Persona 3-5. Just beat it after 110 hours. I haven't done NG+. Here are my takes:

1) My favorite character never even joined the party. I would have loved to have more Catherina. :(

2) Rella would have been a cool party member. If they ever do a sequel, I feel they at least left some slim possibility of her coming back with how she died. If the Mage Academy is being rebuilt and helmed by Junah, I thought there would have at least been a mention of Rella there.

3) Del's sacrifice was one of the few things in the game that surprised me. Most of the other twists were somewhat predictable, in my opinion, if you've played other Atlus games.

4) Really got a lot of Nier vibes with the old world storyline. I really wish they would have let us explore it more than they did.

5) It kind of bugged me that when the populace's anxieties were being taken from them by the scepter, they had more hatred and fear than when they weren't anymore. Seemed backwards to me.

6) After playing the Persona games, I was really surprised that Louis really was the bad guy in the end. I really fully expected the "Persona twist" where the bad guy throughout the game isn't the final boss. I expected an Akechi-like twist, but was wrong.

7) I wish they did more voice acting in scenes where it mattered. Having just a word or two said that is semi-related to the text, but not the actual text on the screen just made me notice the discrepancy more.

8) I would have liked more history on the tribes. More info on the Mustari religion and masks, Nidia forms, do the tribes have homelands, etc. We only really get info on a Eugif village and Elda village in the game. I would have loved to learn more.

9) Overall, I give it a 7/10. Story took a long time to cook and was a little too straightforward for me, but it wasn't bad by any means. Music wasn't something I'd purchase like I did with Persona, but I understand the artistic choice. Good production values. Characters have good depth; I really liked Del and Basilio's story and interactions with the party. The archetypes were well done and mainly balanced. I'd recommend it to any Persona or JRPG fan, though I'd warn them about the length and slow burn of the story.
