Metaphor: ReFantazio‘s director, Katsura Hashino, confirmed the length of the upcoming JRPG, comparing it to other entries in Atlus’ library like Persona 5. Metaphor: ReFantazio is a brand-new RPG by Studio Zero, a subsidiary of Atlus led by former Shin Megami Tensei and Persona developers. This includes the likes of Katsura Hashino, the director and producer of many modern Persona games, who is now the lead director on Metaphor: ReFantazio. Unlike the Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is an action-based RPG instead of a traditional turn-based one.
