5 90+ metacritic JRPGs in 2024 isn't something im sure we all saw coming a few years ago.

 

[Fbh]

If you don't replay 70-100 hours RPGs often just remember that in 2-3 years there's going to be a definitive version of this game with new gameplay, substantial story additions, new mechanics and possibly better pacing.

Man, I thought this was a new Resident Evil

Excuse me while I go back to the depths of the abyss.

 

[Dazraell]

Nice, the first half of this year is already packed

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

October should be good. By Autumn I'll have cleared this current wave of games and be ready for this beauty.

Haha same here. Thought it was a code name for it or something

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

All digital store pages for the game are up by the way.

 

[Hudo]

Atlus being busy this year. I dig it.

Sega buying Atlus is genuinely one of the few industry purchases where the net result has been positive.

Everything We Know About Metaphor: ReFantazio

The upcoming RPG from the team behind many beloved Persona games is worth looking out for

kotaku.com

Who's making Metaphor: Refantazio?

As noted, Katsura Hashino (director of Persona 3, 4, 5, and Catherine) is leading development on Metaphor: ReFantazio, but he isn't the only Persona vet on the project. Shigenori Soejima, who worked as a character designer on many of the same titles, is once again collaborating with Hashino on the game. Shoji Meguro is also composing Metaphor: ReFantazio, making for a bit of a dream team who've made some of the biggest RPGs of this, and several previous, generations. A lot of staff that worked on the Persona games followed Hashino from P-Studio after his departure at the end of 2016.

Additionally, Koda Kazuma, who worked on Nier: Automata, and Ikuto Yamashita, whose credits include the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, are working on Metaphor: ReFantazio as a concept artist and mechanical designer, respectively. It's safe to say that if you loved the big RPGs this team has made in the past, you're likely in good hands with Metaphor: ReFantazio, and no shortage of talent is being thrown at the project.

You seeing this Danjin44 ? It's the fucking avengers of Japanese game devs!
