What is Metaphor ReFantazio about?
From the creative minds behind Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5 comes Metaphor ReFantazio, a turn-based RPG set in a unique fantasy world called The United Kingdom of Euchronia. The story takes place in The United Kingdom of Euchronia, where the king’s assassination brings chaos and unrest to the land. Then, one fateful day, a magic known only to the king called the Royal Magic is invoked, and the world becomes embroiled in a royal tournament for the throne.
Amidst this, the protagonist and his partner, the fairy Galica, must find a way to break the curse placed on the prince that the kingdom believes to be dead. To do so, they depart on a journey across the vast land. They will discover that to achieve their goal, they must participate in the tournament for the throne, and this great task shall require them to ally with many friends and followers of the various tribes inhabiting the world.
Our reviewer said this about the game: “Metaphor Refantazio is the culmination of everything that came before it. It’s a mixture of Atlus’ RPG track record crafted into something bold and new. It takes stock of the fictional stories Atlus has told in the past and how people have resonated with them for years.”
