So My Guess Is That The Theme Of Metaphor Refantazio Is That Fantasy Can Inspire Change In The Real World.

So my guess is that the theme of Metaphor Refantazio is that fantasy can inspire change in the real world. That's why there's so much focus on the protagonist's fantasy book, a vision of utopia which will presumably inspire the protagonist to become elected king on a platform of equality.

Metaphor Refantazio itself is a work of fiction, and More's question in the beginning is basically "can works like this have an impact in the real world"?

The emphasis of the game centering on an election is like the game telling you that yes, democracy can lead to change. Which is interesting, since hasn't Japan's conservative party been the ruling one since the 50s? Then in a way the "fantasy" that is inspiring the player is that elections will change the status quo.

Asabeau

Asahi: Guess what Miss Isabeau? Nanashi told me French people used to greet each other by kissing cheeks!

Isabeau: Really?

Asahi: Mhm, like this.

*smooch* *smooch*

Isabeau: ...!

Asahi: Miss Isabeau, what's wrong? Why are you so red? Miss Isabeau?

I think Asahi and Nanashi would be unnerved the first time they see a horse. They'd look at it doing dumb horse things with its dumb horse face and think fuck. It looks like fucking Adramelech.

My poor Flynn in SMTIV was absolute ass at talking to demons. I think I spent like 6 hours in Naraku, just trying to recruit demons. He got punched in the face so many times. You know that dialogue you get, when you talk to a demon enough times and the game takes pity on you and the demon sees you as a friend and joins? That was Flynn. I think he made friends with all of the demons in that cave. Poor thing just stumbling around, getting punched in the face and scammed by demons. For hours. Days.

Will's village burned down. Strohl's village burned down. Burnt village backstory buddies. They can bond over the aftereffects of smoke inhalation.

The most unrealistic part of Metaphor Refantazio is that nobody has called the protagonist a slur yet.
