Transform Is Such A Good Skill And It's Crazy You Get It On Flynn At The Start. Like Yes You Will Eventually
Transform is such a good skill and it's crazy you get it on Flynn at the start. Like yes you will eventually replace it because it takes two press turns, forces you to watch a 40 second cutscene of Flynn's samurai outfit sparkling onto his nude silhouette, and feels really awful when the enemy has dekaja. But for a huge chunk of the game a combined luster candy + sukunda that only takes one skill slot is OP, and running it in the Medusa and Minotaur fights saves more time than skipping it if you include the number of retries saved.

onk is so fun to me. there's so many random twists. aqua is always trying to self destruct. kana gets yoyoed so damn hard all over the place. akane/kana is probably the healthiest ship. only thing is ruby is soo creepy, like there's a good 50 chapters you just want to dump a bucket of ice water over her head.
In Metaphor one of the first things your fairy companion does is warn you it's racist in the city. Your protag's hick ass is still in "I'm a JRPG protagonist in the tutorial I don't know what a sword is" mode and she goes hey. Hey. It's gonna get real in there.
And it does! There's one side quest where you have to buy something and the seller goes "Yeah so the price is usually cheaper but I'm going to make it more expensive just for you. Hey don't be ungrateful, usually I don't sell to your kind at all."
There's an inn where if you talk to the staff they go "we're not racist but the customers don't want to see a certain kind of people around here, so unfortunately minorities need not apply. Please leave."
One of the most common dialogues you overhear from NPCs is wondering what the hell are you doing here, get away from them. There are many variations of this!
The most obvious moment is actually the first scene, where they're hanging a guy for stealing who's saying he's innocent and everyone's laughing it off, and your fairy goes "yeah nobody's going to listen to him he's a minority" so it's implied they just grabbed the closest one to pin the theft on.
By the end of the demo there's a point where the protagonist can be asked how he's holding up with all the racism. The very first option is "I hate this place".
Metaphor Refantazio is an upcoming JRPG from the makers of the hit video game series Persona that boasts an immersive experience of racial discrimination
King Aquila + Observation = Aquila Manifestation???
The big reveal in SMTIV Apocalypse is that through observation, that is humanity's shared understanding, the supernatural beings we know as gods and demons are shaped and given physical form. This is the case for even human mythological figures, so that's why there's a bunch of Cu Chulainn running around Tokyo.
Something I've wondered is, can that be applied to King Aquila?
First off, observation does not apply to real humans. If everyone believes someone is alive, and he's actually dead, he doesn't get to be alive again (sorry Nanashi). So real deal Aquila is not going to be rising from the dead anytime soon.
But what about the concept of King Aquila, not the CDF traitor who simultaneously joined the angels while working against them, but the perfect hero king in Mikado lore who went on adventures and was loved by everyone?
Mikado has had a thousand years of telling the same unified concept of King Aquila. That's plenty enough time and people (at least half of humanity's remaining population is my guess) for this concept to be formed into a demon. If Mothman can do it, why not Aquila?
Something to consider is would King Aquila be a one demon deal like Odin, or are there gonna be multiple like most demons?
If multiple, they'd be a lot more jarring in Mikado. They'd be a constant source of rumors that he never died after all, or even that he's returned from the dead. Sightings all over the place. Annoying because none of the samurai ever want to get rid of one, but Aquila has returned rumors stir up the populace too much.
If multiple, I think they'd be really funny in Tokyo. Nobody connects CDF Akira to the King Aquilas because too different, except for Fujiwara and Skins, who are just. Head in hands. No idea why this is happening, can't tell anyone else their problems, can only commiserate together. Classic Akira.
They jumpscare the shit out of the Samurai though. If they're one of the general hostile mobs roaming the streets of Tokyo I can definitely see one of the samurai going "omg it's King Aquila hi" and then gets ganked. My bet's on Jonathan.
Also if any of them ever meet Nanashi can they tell?? Like demons recognize when another one of them is in your team, and Nanashi is...kind of like that? I guess? Like oh, it's another King Aquila like me, but smaller. Here, have some healing. Maybe a Life Stone. Join your team? But I'm already there, aren't I?
