TLDR: you join a tournament to get the throne after the king gets assassinated and on the way try to solve racism
You're trying to save your childhood friend with seven other people with trauma.
It kinda sounds like Ni No Kuni 2, and I love it
@@ah.neat.408classic megaten story (kinda)
And humans are some king of monsters.
They fucking did it
They made a politician simulator
Just in time for the 2024 Presidential Election. Travelling Boy2024. Make Euchronia Great Again! Hehe...
Truly, I could see this game becoming really good
Agreed
Same
I'm gonna overdose on copium and say this game is gonna reach the greatness of Persona 5 royal and be considered one of the greatest JRPG of all time.
Feel free to clown on me if I'm wrong in the future 🤡👍
Gotta say, I love plots that revolve around some kind of tournament or competition. It’s interesting to watch what kind of relationships can form in these types of scenarios.
Can’t wait to see how Atlus handles it here.
I hear Radiant Historia music in the background. I know it’s kinda old at this point but you should make a series on that if you haven’t already, one of my top JRPGs of all time.
This is one of the few games coming out next year that I’m hyped for
If you're a fan of action rpg's and classic fantasy settings can an eye out for Dragons Dogma 2. It looks to be every bit of a banger as this does
Agreed
I bet the setting is a dystopian future of earth
True SMT story right there.
Love how the Clergyman is clearly inspired design-wise by Griffith from Berserk.
#10:05 The boss character here, the monster depicted in the works of Hieronymus Bosch.
It seems my prediction was completely correct.
Please people, comment this video for the algorithm. This need to be spread to more ppl interested.
Thank you for the updates, the dedication and the analysis! So little is known about this game and any information is greatly appreciated!
I'm curious about if we're going to have different "demons" to tame or add to our abilities, or how these Archetypes work...
In the interview Hashino did a few months back there's some footage playing in the background, and in it you can see the player obtaining new Archetypes from doing the social link-like mechanic. We see him obtain the Healer archetype form Maria and the Brawler archetype from Catherine. It looks like you also unlock them from the vitruvian man shaped board from the blonde man in the library.
@@Boltothemage so, no "Wild" creatures becoming usable, like how Personas work on most games. I was hoping to use that egg-shaped thing as my Archetype... The, uhm, Egg Thrower Archetype or something
Given this is an Atlus game, I am also interested in 3 things
A) *possible different endings*
Perhaps the endings could be the protagonist become a *benevolent ruler* ,a *tyrant* or demolish the whole caste system and *change the kingdom to become a republic* or even a *plot twist that shatters reality*
B) *Cameo appearances*
Atlus loves sprinking cameos from their past games and I doubt Metaphor Refantazio would be different. We already can see the tall pink hair woman as Catherine but I am curious if we would see *some other people or demons from previous Atlus games*
Maybe even an abandoned Jack Frost doll 😅
C) *DLC*
I know the idea of DLC is hated right now, but it may be inevitable. What new content would be added exclusively as DLC?
*Character costumes?*
*Exclusive archetypes/gear?*
*Post game dungeon?*
The true ending of the game will obviously be something way different than what we're expecting even now. It's definitely going to go existential, like we somehow wake the prince up and get to know about the horrors of the Titan Star and have to destroy it now.
Katherine being in the game would be kinda hot
Yeah there huge addon/dls and i hope that we don't need to buy game second time so it will work like in latest generation of monsterhunters
So hyped up for this game, can't wait for Fall 2024 or to see an actual release date.
I just realized something the blonde haired horned man resembles SMT ..Lucifer , based on what he says in the english trailer about the strongest being the only one who should rule... I'm guessing he's going to be one of the main antagonist ....so with that being said..... Are horned people some how connected to demons? (you know like a tiefling ?) or are they just regular run of the mill saytuars and we going to see the classic SMT... Law vs Chaos dynamic play out again?
The cursed prince could be an ending thing like depending on the people’s perception of the mc could end with him getting the crown or the prince being seen as the rightful heir to the throne. Or it could be an end of the game clash of ideals.
Thanks for the info Johne
I’m waiting for this game to come out for the switch and PS5 console.
Maybe the action portion is for grinding and the turn based is for more important fights ?
It's likely that it's a way of doing pre emptive damage before the battle starts and if enemies aren't strong enough to take the damage then the battle would end before it begins. That's probably why turn based wasn't engaged on those smaller enemies
Johne this is amazing 😍 Thank for this comprehensive analysis. I knew when I watched the second trailer we would be able to figure out everything about the basic story and gameplay but you went DEEP for this one! Learning that Japanese is paying off! I'm so excited for the game. This will be my number 1 most anticipated IP of 2024! Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the game 😊
in fairness I had lots of help but thank you
Great analysis Johne!
This looks really cool
It's definitely Press Turn, in the first trailer when the dragon gets a crit against the party in the first trailer you can see the crystal icon change rather than disappearing, and in this trailer in the brief shot of Protag and Strohl fighting the Egg you can see there are only 2 crystals because it's a 2 person party
Synthesis as well seems to use multiple full or half press turns to do attacks which you can see in both trailers
Story on racism, classism, politics and other darker tones and themes sounds very interesting. This game has caught my attention. They are also using their unique calendar system other jrp don't use or get right. Can't wait to be "no good Tora" in this game😂
Man I’m so so excited for this!
I am so excited for this game.
yo this looks amazing !!
I really really hope this game has a good story and a good cast of characters. I loved SMTV but it's hard to talk positively about the game when, honestly, only half of it was worth talking about. The other half is the story and characters. I know these aren't 1to1 the same devs so my worries might be unwarranted. But I still desperately hope it's nothing like SMTV in that regard. I've been waiting for this about as long as most people here, and I definitely hope we get what we deserve after all that time watching a man eating his bird on video (the 2nd teaser to this game).
The protag and the Prince gotta smooch to break the curse /srs
Hulkenberg looks hot af in the sprites 🗿
Nice one johne
Ty im really hyped for this game
Could be peak
The old man is probably a party member just going off the fact he was in the party order during that scene and had the mage archetype. I was thinking "Is guy actually tearing his heart out to transform/summon and archetype? Thats raw" so seeing it better here is cool
Really excited for this game, most anticipated game of next year, numba 1. P3R is probably like number 5 right now just because its a remake.
Fun fact the boss we saw is likely heavily artistically inspired by the painting Garden of Earthly Delights the resemblance is uncanny
The Tyrant Star really gives me some Majora's Mask vibes where it feels like a race against time.
I don't know, but I hope it gets a physical release!
So I think the first trailer makes it really clear that this world is a kind of purgatory from which one can "ascend" to Earth as we know it. DDS and SMT4 have already done similar things. I think this is kind of the same thing, but for the Persona world. It doesn't really have to affect the internal plot of this game at all, but I think it'd be cool if the protag, the pixie, and Hulkenberg were unknowingly Makoto, Aigis and Chidori trying to make it back to the living world. And although this world doesn't seem to explicitly have demons/personas, there are a lot of uncannily similar designs there too. As someone else pointed out, one character looks like Helel-form Lucifer. I noticed another is very similar to Shiva. A lot of these variety of characters seem to be running the tournament. I definitely think there's something deceptive going on here. If it's something like SMT4 but with Hashino's level of writing, even if my specific theory isn't right, I think it's gonna be something really good.
basically anime hunger games
IT'S A METAPHOR!
Tournament for the throne is hype
this game looks really good so far, the only thing i dont like is how crowded the screen is at all times
This was Good 👍
Is that Radiant Historia music on the background ❤?
I honestly think it looks like it could be quite good but until the game comes out I won't know for sure if it's a buy at full price or wait for a sale kind of game. I'm definitely going to try it when it does go on sale if I don't buy it at launch. I've only just started playing P5 Strikers this year because I was able to get it really cheap. I want to support Atlus because I do believe they deserve the money but I don't want to waste money.
Will this game's story see the characters travel to our world? Or will it likely remain as simply a fantasy story within their own world?
Johne! Is there any chance we can drag you to Library of Ruina? Or its prequel?
good vid, even if I do disagree with a few points made.
Like the idea of the tournament being a surprise. if the tournament was a surprise the "welcome one and all to the inauguration of the tournament for the throne" line in the second trailer won't make a lot sense
Same thing with the idea of the clergy being unaware of the tyrant star. If the clergy was unaware of the tyrant star why would the one clergyman we see, face towards the castle when giving his speech instead of the crowd
Maybe the assassin clergyman didn't know about the whole tyrant star given their young age
The clergyman was giving the address was old and probably knew about the archaic tradition of selecting a new ruler through the royal tournament
The official website states that no one knew the magic that gives rise to the tournament was a thing until after the king died, and it activated on its own. So yes it's a surprise, but people in power are probably acting as if it's all under control to put themselves in a favourable position relative to the tournament.
Hy johneawesome you can't not stop using akihiko because he has power you need to help you fight the shadow
Is it Forspoken without ESG and with Handsome twink?
Will it be launched on Nintendo Switch?
I hope the PC port is good.
Don't forget they were lovers too. Double Kings true ending.
*{Day 365&285} of been impressed by P5R and waiting for P6.*
I'm pretty darn hyped for this game, since it's something that Atlus hasn't tried in a really long while now. I can hardly remember a game in which the protag isn't a High School student. The earliest I can think of is SMT4 with Flynn.
12:23 I'm pretty certain it's turnbased when you fight after getting the initial damage in. Because right on left of the titan star, you see 3 identical crystals. I'm pretty certain that that's our press turns. 10:24
you forget that we're going to kill god at the end bc that always happens in atlus games
Keen I wonder there is dates and relationships. Because you need a queen/First Lady.
Hello
What's the metaphor?
I guess we'll just have to find out in Fall 2024
Probably the fact that it's making a comparison between Fantasy and Real Life by making the Fantasy a Reality in the game while the real life is just a fantasy that they look forward to.
The friends we made along the way
Taking the bull by the horns.
This will actually happen tho'.
I just want to know why out of the 3 persona protagonists to get 'reincarnated' into this game, why was Joker the only one who got genderswapped?
My favorite thing fantasy race politics and demon gods emerging from the skies
*MC tribe riding a sword*
Religious leaders: that's a Witchcraft! Burn them!!
😂😂
Maybe they really be jealous, heck I'd be too
I'm hoping that the protagonist and prince fall in love and rule together.
🤢🤮
It'd be cute
@@bruskydu LMAO you think I'm _not_ with the "alphabet community".
Based
More like why is it for Xbox and PC only 😢😅
LMAO, dude Just gave the protagonist a copy of the comunist manifesto.
good video but your voice feels a bit stilted, i thought u were being sarcastic at first
ill keep that in mind for the future, thanks for giving feedback
I just hope there is no homophobia in the game like persona 4 and 5
lol persona is for boring people
There is?
Lmao based games
Real
