News Metaphor: ReFantazio Says No to Romance, Unlike the Persona Games
No, you can't date the elf
Atlus' upcoming RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, seems built around systems that wouldn't feel out of place in the developer's Persona series. It's got turn-based battles that hinge on striking enemy weaknesses, it's got warrior spirits that you can summon in combat, and — most crucially to this article — it's got a bonding...

Random We're In Awe of Metaphor: ReFantazio's Box Art
Princely
There's nothing quite like video game box art that makes you stop and say "wow". Admittedly, it's been a while since such a cover caught our eye, but we simply can't gawk at the newly revealed box art for Metaphor: ReFantazio and not write an article about it.

News Metaphor: ReFantazio Combat Is a Mix of Action and Turn-Based
A bit of both
One of the most interesting things about the latest Metaphor: ReFantazio trailer is that it seems to show action and turn-based combat. Of course, Atlus is well known for its turn-based mechanics — Persona 5 being a standout example — and so it was largely assumed that Metaphor would follow suit. However, that's not quite the case...

Through a leak, no less
The awkwardly named Metaphor: ReFantazio is coming to PlayStation platforms after all. The Atlus-developed fantasy RPG, which was fully revealed during last week's Xbox showcase, was subject to a Microsoft-employed embargo, preventing mention of the game coming to other systems. Similar embargoes were also applied to fellow...
