Atlus, It's Time to Stop Spoiling Metaphor: ReFantazio | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Not content with its previous 500 trailers for Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus has dropped yet another look at the upcoming RPG in celebration of its presence at Gamescom 2024.

We don't know about you, but we've seen more than enough of Metaphor. We were pretty much sold on the project as soon as it was revealed, given the Persona-related talent behind it — but Atlus is seemingly hellbent on showing more and more and more of the game.

It's getting to a point now where the trailers are outright revealing story elements, characters, and locations that would have been great to discover in the finished release. Not even the notorious Square Enix is this haphazard with its marketing materials.

No metaphors here

Now look, we're sure that there'll be so much more to Metaphor than what these trailers show. It's set to be a big old RPG adventure, which, knowing Atlus, will probably clock in at upwards of 70 hours. But still, it'd be nice to maintain some sense of wonder as edge closer to the game's 11th October release date.

Have you stopped watching these Metaphor: ReFantazio trailers? Get ready for another month and a half of unnecessary detail in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Atlas rule of thumb: We can spoil the game, but you can't

You can also not watch the trailers, as I'm doing.

@NathanKang This. I watched the first trailer or two, but otherwise media blackout on this for me. All I really needed was Persona Team + new IP.

It’s Atlus. It’ll be 900 hours. It’ll take a lot of trailers to spoil it.

I wish my memory was good enough to remember things I see in trailers. As it stands, by
