'Metaphor: ReFantazio' opens Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders

Anything different about this port, or...?

Not gonna get it, personally; already beat it once on Steam, and found it to be an 'okay' game; nothing special. Really wasn't nearly as fun as Persona 4 Golden or 5 Royal, that's for sure - not a big fan of Press Turn combat (SMT combat) compared to Persona's One More combat, for one thing, and for a second thing the Archetypes weren't anywhere near as interesting as, well, Personas. There's too many Archetypes to train and master, and didn't like having to purchase skills to be able to slot them onto other Archetypes.
Oh, and having to spend multiple days travelling to dungeons, when entering the TV World or Metaverse only took up that one daytime slot? Much more restrictive.

Why they skipped so many clearly possible switch 1 ports I wonder

Hard hints of phasing it out sooner than later, especially considering weak ass h/w. Sad world is moving in the way of gfx even before swatch 2 launched and good old grampa can barely render simple modern ports into 720p (and I'm sure most devs aren't gonna account for an obsolete system just to port something over).

I pre-ordered it for the PS5 and really enjoyed the game for what it was, I would have pre-ordered it for the Switch if only it was a proper physical version, I will not be supporting Sega/Atlus when they keep making bad ports with no upgradability and only Key Cards (same goes for Square Enix and Capcom).

You know shit is serious when Skelletonike refuses to buy the same game again for the Switch 2.

Amazing game. I probably won't replay it but nice to have it accessible to more people.

The only thing I didn't like about this game is that everything has a fixed time limit including the overall game itself and every single thing you do takes up part of that time, which means you only have a limited amount of time that you need to balance between grinding, doing sidequests and progressing the story and if you don't spend your alloted time wisely you may have to rush at the end and not have time to finish all of the sidequests.

I found myself in this situation right before the end and had to reload an earlier save to finish up some sidequests I otherwise didn't have the time for.
The game doesn't tell you about this overall time limit until quite late in the game, so if you didn't check online guides to find out about it and you wasted time early in the game and didn't realize until way later, you're basically screwed out of 100% completion.

Needs a nap...
