Will the Next Metaphor: ReFantazio Spin-off Be Too Light for Its Dark World?
The atmosphere of “Metaphor: ReFantazio” is heavily influenced by its ominous, medieval motif, using Euchronia as a stage to depict the turmoil among its tribal populace. Death and destitution are prevalent, tension is high, and the hardships faced by the Kingdom resonate with every citizen, reflected in each party member’s personal history. Although “Metaphor” allows for moments of reprieve during its power struggle for the throne, the weighty tone of its story aligns perfectly with its heavy themes, emphasizing the tribal oppression and imbalance in its world. A potential sequel to “Metaphor” might tackle similar conflicts, but whether it would maintain the original’s somber tone is open to debate.
