A look at companions and enemies alike, and the relationships and bonds they will form with our protagonist in Atlus‘ upcoming JRPG.
Las night’s Metaphor: ReFantazio presentation gave us a good look at what we can expect from character building in the game, as well as the relationship between the protagonist and supporting characters (both friends and foes) and how this will affect the game’s narrative.
Katsura Hashino, the game’s director and the main person in charge of presenting each of the new features in these livestreams, began by giving a brief overview of the story in the opening moments of Metaphor: ReFantazio, placing our protagonist on his mission to take down Louis, the assassin of the monarch of Euchronia who had planned a coup d’état. Suddenly, a giant face, presumably of the deceased king, appears in the sky, tasking all citizens with the mission of attracting enough support to become the next king. In order for all candidates to be eligible without chaos spreading across the continent, the Tournament for the Throne is declared.
