or rather

[Liftea 11]

they went so hard on metaphors combat system btw

[Daz_4th 6]

oh? do eIaborate

[Liftea 11]

it's on hard mode so far substance over style

[Liftea 11]

you even have to manage rows

your party member can go a row back to decrease damage taken

but they will also deal less damage

you need it to survive attacks

and on top of that you can still guard

[Daz_4th 6]

I Iike that quite a bit
about time they put that in their games that aren't smt cuz idk if they have this

I aIso appreciate the game actuaIIy teIIing you about their existence

[Otti#8624 26]

That's just for close combat people like warrior

Long range ones like mage still does full damage from the back

[Daz_4th 6]

true! magic users deaI the same amount of damage

[Liftea 11]

nice

[Daz_4th 6]

that too

[Liftea 11]

also atlus improved their cutscene technology

[Otti#8624 26]

It's pretty useful to have a tank for that reason too

[Liftea 11]

the camera can now follow characters during conversations

which means they can make cutscenes where characters are walking and having dialogue

no more these weird blackout scenes like in p5

[Daz_4th 6]

(bIackout scenes?)

I noticed they Iike, actuaIIy use depth of fieId now
it's in P5 too but it's not used often, nor that weII

[Liftea 11]

yes p5 has these weird scenes where scene transitions with walking are made by a black screen so they don't have to animate the characters moving

and then the new scene happens in a new area

in metaphor you see the characters walking

[Daz_4th 6]

ohh
hey yeah it does do those fade-to-bIacks way too often

[Liftea 11]

also this game is not a full turn-based game

they have multiple sections so far that use the action combat

[Otti#8624 26]

The action is just to give you an advantage

Or to bulldoze them to get exp and money if you are higher level than them

[Liftea 11]

holy firetrucking shit I am not even 5 hours into the story and Strohl already gets a banger arc

[Otti#8624 26]

If you are gonna farm use the mage one. It's attack is an AoE one and you get MP back for every hit you deal.

It goes hard

[Liftea 11]

where did the demo end?

[Otti#8624 26]

Another hour or two from where you are

[Liftea 11]

holy shit that's big

[Otti#8624 26]

Yeah it's beefy

You the whole prologue and then 3 extra days to do whatever you want

You get the whole prologue and then 3 extra days to do whatever you want

[Liftea 11]

holy shit I love Strohl
