Metaphor: ReFantazio and character director Katsura Hashino have said that he avoids reading fan comments to protect his mental health.
Hashino discussed the topic of fan feedback with Quiet Hill writer Keiichiro Toyama on Famitsu (via Automaton), but the two creators had opposing perspectives on the topic.
Hashino said he “tries not to be so conscious of” fans’ comments and aims to stay a long way.

“Of course, I check things at certain times, like right after launch,” he said. “But it’s not like I can adapt [the game] based on what I see. “When I need to look up something, I do it quickly in one go, because constantly looking at reactions is not good for your mental health.”
He added that he does not search for his personal name online or use social media.
Toyama, who is busy creating the next Slitterhead, said his attitude against consumer feedback is changing over time. While once dismissive within the generation, he is now fully attentive to online fans and adopting reviews he finds useful, even though Slitterhead is no longer a live service game that must be adjusted according to the demands of fans. players. .
Metaphor: ReFantazio has certainly earned praise from fans and critics. The game sold 1 million copies in base packaging to become the fastest-selling Atlus game.
Hashino has also talked about the influence of traditional fiction on the game and how this was discarded to focus on the originality that “defines” Atlus games.
Bokeh Studio’s Slitterhead is set for release later and avid players will inhabit the bodies of a diverse population, or even a dog.
