The Girl Loved More Than A God

The girl loved more than a God

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.

My poor Flynn in SMTIV was very lost. Now, an argument could be made that all Flynns are bad at getting from point A to point B, because what the hell was that map SMTIV.

But my Flynn was very lost. I had to look online for guides on how to get from place to place, and it still took an hour to find Shinjuku.

Infernal Tokyo was the worst. The roads were connected differently, and suddenly all that hard fought knowledge of how to get from place to place was gone. Demonoid Akira would go "More west than this!", and Flynn would make a convoluted circle just to check the same place again, and Akira would go "More west!"

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

I've found the read more in the editor and it has given me incredible power. Power I'd be remiss to not use.

I played SMTVV and then SMTIV duology, and thinking back on SMTV I am so much less engaged with its world because outside of D'aat it's just modern day Japan again. Like yeah there's supernatural forces and the apocalypse is happening but the default is the masquerade. Even the stuff like the prime minister of Japan is Tsukuyomi you can't do much with because all that knowledge is limited to inside Bethel.
