In Metaphor One Of The First Things Your Fairy Companion Does Is Warn You It's Racist In The City. Your

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

I'll never forgive Atlus for giving Nahobino beautiful mystical flowing hair in the same game they removed outfits

Flynn isn't affected by Nanashi in a maid dress but put him in a demonica and he gets all blushy.

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.

With SMTVV, Nahobino has 2 total magical girl sequences while all of the other mainline SMT protags are at a zero. In light of this unfairness, I nominate Flynn and Nanashi to also get magical girl sequences. Full diegetic light show when equips are changed, with a penalty that it draws aggro of every enemy around.
