This Is A Tough Sell They're Going For! - Tumblr Posts

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.
