Metaphor: ReFantazio feels like a JRPG free from restraint and sanity

Metaphor: ReFantazio has been a long time in the making. It was announced in 2017 as Project re Fantasy through a weird long video that said very little. Since then, Atlus has swapped the Project for Metaphor and scoured Google Translate to find a cool way to say'fantasy.' It's also made a giant fantasy JRPG -- and after rolling through a demo at Summer Game Fest last weekend, I'm dying to play it. ReFantazio is the first original title by Studio Zero, a relatively new Atlus division headed up by Katsura Hashino.
