But after rolling credits, I realise I was very wrong.
We all guess at where plots may go in games, shows, and books.
Its just part of our nature to attempt to foresee what might happen.
Sometimes were right, but more often than not, were wrong.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is an old school JRPG with fresh thinking behind it.
This article contains major spoilers forMetaphor: ReFantazio.
I left my preview with two main theories.
Happy Ever Atlus
Lets get into the fairytale aspect.
I noticed a few indicators that made me believe there could be ongoing references to well known folklore.
Then there were plenty of little loose threads you could weave into this theory.
Homo Gorleo has apples, is this to do with Snow White?
Turns out theyre not.
Final call for spoilers.
Fantasy Becomes Reality
Lets talk about how I thought it would link to Persona.
Theres some fantastical element there with persona summoning, weird demons, strange locations, but its basically magic.
Now you have Metaphor, another world with magic.
These two worlds could be co-existing alongside one another and somehow there might be a window between the two.
Perhaps the Persona magic as we know it somehow originated in this fantasy world?
It felt like a solid theory until it wasnt.
It all came crumbling down when I visited the Dragon Temple in Metaphor.
I was wrong, yet again.
I didnt see this end result coming, and you have to applaud Atlus for that.
Maybe theres even room for some more fairy tale references in the post-apocalypse.
