FNGC Reviews: Metaphor Refantazio (ft. Dave Jackson & Sam Heaney)

One of the biggest JRPGs of 2024 deserves one of the biggest FNGC episodes of Season 3 and we are here to deliver! This week I'm joined by Same Heaney (of No Limits!) and Dave Jackson (Tales from the Backlog) to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Metaphor Refantazio. A fascinating title that expects much of the player and provides even more in return. We face idealism, nihilism, and a journey of the hero and the self as we travel with the protagonist across the Kingdom of Euchronia. We discover how real world politics have informed the sociopolitical discourse deeply imbedded in this title. I couldn't be more excited to share this episode with you all and, as always, welcome your thoughts on Metaphor.
