it is turn based! you just have the option to make the enemy weak by playing a little action first, or by killing low level enemies with 1 hit without needing to waste time with turn based animations! in any case you still can just press triangle to jump right into turn based any time you want
Weird... I died getting hit by the enemy when hitting it via action.

I will try again.

The first enemies you see on the field? Just run you can't attack them. The real combat starts later when you get an igniter and you become a "soldier".

It is turn-based like Persona.

I remember when I was kid plyaing Breath of Fire 3...
People told me I couldn't win the Balio and Sunder battle.
They where wrong.
I keep leaving up until I beat the shit of them... it doesn't change anything in the game at all because after you win the same cuteness of them beat you happens but for my own accomplishment it was awesome.

Trying soooo hard to resist this demo. I want to play it leading up to the release at midnight.

0 doubts that this game will be a masterpiece. Great to see a major new game from these games that isn’t Persona or SMT.

It had this cool 4th wall breaking intro...then it became a generic JRPG with interesting/gaudy art direction. The demo killed the game for me. Will only pick it up if it scores a 93+ on Opencritic
Bro you moving like a meme

took my time to play the whole demo, and man, if those 5 hours showed me something is that this one will be a solid 8/10 with amazing highs and LOT of minor lows

it made me super curious to see what is atlus cooking with persona 6, bc metaphor is 10000% persona, its a 1:1 copy of it, when i saw on earlier trailers that it had social links and a calendar i thought it would branch from it and create something new, but they had all the system, conventions and even mannerisms, even the combat is 90% persona and 10% SMT, so i wonder if atlus will soft reboot persona like P3 did after P2, their two biggest games this gen cant be the same

but dont get me wrong, the last paragraph can make me look like a hater, but i like persona a lot, so having persona with a medieval fantasy flavor will be lots of fun, its just that im already seeing the same gameplay loop and story beats from katsura hashino happening from the fourth time... even your favorite meal wont be Meal Of The Year if you eat it a lot without change

Good god the game is incredibly boring. Constant interruptions, tutorials and blabla every 2 seconds and the story is not even interesting 😬

I just arrived in Grand Trad. I literally fell asleep everytime I tried to play. Just woke up from a 2 hours nap after the Nord Mines 😬

Meh there is soo many loading screens, If Starfield gets shit on for loading screens then this trash from the house of sega should also be raked over the coals. This looks and plays like SMT V, not worth 70$ for ps3 visuals and performance

I played the demo for an hour and loved it, surprised to see mixed reception here. It's what I wanted from ATLUS, Persona that's not in highschool.

Interesting points here. Making me want to finish the demo more.

i think the game will be a 10 for you then bro, its nicely done and while i think hashino isnt the most genius dude to make societal metaphors (no pun intended lol) im actually becoming invested in this one, i left the final part of the demo to play a few days before the release so i wont mess up with the pace, but i hope you enjoy it
