Metaphor ReFantazio review: Far grander than a medieval Persona
The sun-soaked streets of Brilehaven are bustling with the sea breeze and the buzz of vigorous discussions about who will be the next king of Euchronia. The nobility prepare for a grandiose soirée held by Count Louis Guiabern, the runner-up for the throne. And I’m going to stop him.
Twist a thing or two, and this scenario in Metaphor: ReFantazio might as well be an assignment for the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5. That’s hardly a surprise: Atlus’ latest RPG proudly hails from the creative minds of Persona 3, 4, and 5, with tons of shared DNA and themes between the two franchises.
