Comment from Katsura Hashino, Creative Director of "Metaphor: Refantaggio

I have been creating RPGs for Atlus for many years. From "Shin Megami Tensei" and the "Persona" series to "Metaphor: Refantaggio," each title has had a different setting and theme, but there is one thing that has never changed in my mind. I want RPGs to be experiences that allow players to walk away from their realities with something positive, something they can take home with them. I have always believed that such an experience is what makes Atlas' works so good, and I have been creating them with the hope of increasing their intensity. On the other hand, I had the impression that fantasy was something to escape from reality. However, when creating "Metaphor: Refantaggio," the word "fantasy" naturally came up in discussions with the team about what kind of new RPG we wanted to create. At that time, I thought about it again. I wondered why people are so moved by fantasy. Looking back, I realize that my first encounter with RPGs was also through fantasy RPGs. Fantasy may be a way to escape from reality to another world, but at the same time, it is also a way of saying, "This is reality. But at the same time, it is something that makes you think, "This reality doesn't have to stay the same. The world can change. And as long as we can see it that way, we ourselves can also change. I believe that fantasy inherently has such power. Moreover, perhaps it is precisely because we are anxious that we are attracted to the unknown. If we can create an experience that does not erase that anxiety, but rather allows people to move forward with it, we can create a fantasy RPG in our own way. That was the starting point for "Metaphor: Refantaggio. At the time of its completion, we honestly did not know how far it would go. However, the game has actually been played by many more people around the world than we had expected, and we have received so many comments about how fun it was and how good the experience was. This has been a great encouragement for our future challenges. We are very happy to be able to deliver this work on new hardware, and to be able to develop it in a way that makes it more accessible to a wider audience. We hope that this work will be the beginning of a new journey for someone.
