Anyone who's played Persona knows that activating the cast's powers and awakening their inner selves isn't always a pretty sight. Persona 5's cast violently rip masks off their faces, and Persona 3's party need to literally shoot themselves. Developer Atlus is now continuing the brutal trend in its new fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, but there's a reason behind the madness this time.
Metaphor: ReFantazio's Prologue demo is out now, and the turn-based battles have our cast pulling their very own thumping hearts right out of their chests in order to activate magical abilities. It's bloody and brutal (and stylish, as all Atlus games are), but it's also more than just a cool animation.
