Today's RPG fans are 'very sensitive to feeling like they wasted time' when they die, says Metaphor: ReFantazio battle planner—but Atlus still made combat hard anyway (www.pcgamer.com)

Metaphor is different than Persona, if you lose in Persona, you could lose a lot progress, they made Metaphor a lot more forgiving than other Atlus games. I guess I'm fine with that.

Metaphor's primary safety net came in the form of the "rewind" system, which lets players reverse their actions if a battle's going sideways and try it again from the top as many times as they choose.

Why is that new to me. Is rewind on Hard mode not available? I finished Metaphor

I don't remember it's availability in hard mode, but i do remember it being pretty useless. If i lost a flight it was because i wasn't prepared before hand and rewinding would just have mostly the same thing play out.

Just started the game on friday on hard mode and it's definitely there. Saves a few seconds here and there if you miss your first attack, get almost wiped and would load back anyway. I guess it could also come in handy to scout for the enemy weakness, but that feels kinda cheap.
