Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to launch later this year as Atlus' first new JRPG IP in years, and it appears to lean heavily on the existing framework of the company's existing titles. Following recent combat showcases which revealed the mechanics of Metaphor: ReFantazio's Archetype System, Atlus has made clear that the game takes heavy inspiration from the successful formula which Persona 5 utilized to landmark success. Persona's DNA can be felt in nearly every one of Metaphor's major combat features, but the combat system in Metaphor: ReFantazio is also split between turn-based and real-time battles.
