A lead developer from Atlus's Studio Zero division has alleged that the company's next big JRPG, Metaphor: Refantazio, will be considerably harder than the Persona games. As beloved as they may be, the latest mainline entries in the Persona franchise aren't exactly known for having brutally difficult turn-based combat; if anything, they've been made easier and more beginner-friendly over the years, which has disappointed some. Fortunately, it seems that players looking for a more challenging experience from Atlus will finally have their wishes granted with Metaphor: ReFantazio.
