Readers have commented, “The BGM is all great, and it’s full of great songs.The monsters you fight as enemies are also characters that you can’t hate.I like that they each have their own sense of justice, rather than being inherently evil.” and “It depends on the player. The ending changes and there are three different routes. Therefore, it may be difficult to make it into a movie, but I would be happy if we could see an ending that is unique to the anime.” It has arrived.

Fantasy RPG from the latest work released in 2024“Metaphor: Refantasio”appears. “This is the latest work from Atlus, famous for “Persona” and “Shin Megami Tensei”!
