This week on Unskippable Dialogue, Conor dives deep into Metaphor: ReFantazio, the brand-new high-fantasy JRPG from the legendary team behind Persona 5. Developed by Atlus’s Studio Zero, Metaphor trades Tokyo for swords, sorcery, and political drama – but does it live up to the hype?
We explore everything from gameplay and combat to story twists, sales stats, and developer insights. There’s a spoiler section marked for those brave enough to hear how it all ends. Expect real-time strike mechanics, job systems called Archetypes, a fairytale world built on the ruins of modern Earth (literally), and Conor’s thoughts on whether this could be Persona 6 in disguise.
🔍 What you’ll hear in this episode:
– A full breakdown of Metaphor: ReFantazio’s gameplay, setting, and themes
– Development insights from Katsura Hashino and the Persona alumni
– A spoiler-heavy story discussion, including that Shinjuku twist 👀
– Conor’s final verdict: worth your 100 hours?
– SEO-packed banter for fans of JRPGs, Atlus games, and Irish gaming podcasts
Perfect listening for anyone interested in video game reviews, Persona-style RPGs, or the best new releases in 2024. If you’re into fantasy games with a brain and a heart – this one’s for you.

Why Gamers Love Unskippable Dialogue
Kind words from our listeners
Such a great name for it haha. Brilliant.
Following on Spotify. Just listened to the Expedition 33 review. Listening to ye rave about the soundtrack is exactly how I’ve been talking about it to my friends 😂
Unskippable Dialogue is a great name!
See when Conor asked you, what is Clair Obscur, and you said “My Spooky Aunt” I burst out laughing in the train station
I’ll give her a rip later. It’s either that or mandatory training in work.
I listened to your Expedition 33 podcast. Couldn’t agree more how excellent that game is!
Good to have you guys back, love having an every day Irish perspective on games & the industry! Subscribing now.
Listened to you guys cycling home in the rain for your first episode, which was great. Looking forward to the rest.
Unskippable Dialogue is an elite name for a gaming podcast
Really enjoyed the show. Gonna go back and listen to the Expedition 33 episode. Best game I’ve played this year so far. Always wanted to start a podcast so it’s great to hear some accents that aren’t American for a change chatting about games. You’ve got a subscriber
I’m giving it a listen now. They have nice voices and seem sound. 👍
Listening to their review of Spider-Man Remastered (has been my obsession since the PC release around 2 weeks ago), and think they’re pretty spot on. The web-swinging has become the biggest ‘selling’ point of any Spider-Man game, along with an open, thriving city to freely swing around in.Gave it a follow on ye olde Spotify.
Sounds like dialogue that’s ripe for skipping if I’m honest.
