Finished the game today. Same post I made in the other thread below.
I beat Metaphor: Refantazio, the 8th JRPG I have beaten this year. Platinum requires NG+, so I did not go for that. I played the game on Hard difficulty, the highest difficulty available on your first playthrough and savored every moment of it, ending up at 105 hours played. I completed every side quest, maxed bonds and royal virtues. Before the final boss I got what I felt was 10 extra levels to give me a boost, and the final boss was still extremely difficult on hard difficulty. It came down to luck, which I am not happy about, but I don't see another way other than grinding to max level and getting higher stats. Anyways the game as a whole was brilliant at the same level as Persona 5 and SMTV Vengeance. I am still not sure which of the three I like the most, they all gave unique amazing moments and gameplay. Maybe it goes like this, Persona best music and epic moments, SMT best gameplay and battles, and Metaphor best setting and story. My opinion could change soon though. Either way Metaphor is a must play for any JRPG fan out there.
Looking forward, it seems November I have other commitments so no new games. December I might be able to eek out a 9th JRPG, but we shall see. This might be the first year of only JRPGs beaten, maybe I should top off the year with something else. |
What you rating it at? |
I don't really do ratings as I love almost all JRPGs deeply.
It is a 9 or 10 out of 10 like Persona 5 and SMT V Vengeance.
Looks like you had the same problem as me with the final boss. Spend so much time getting him down only for luck to be involved in the final stretches.
