In this video essay, we explore why the archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio might surpass the iconic Personas of the Persona series. While Persona is known for its symbolic representations of the self, Metaphor: ReFantazio takes the concept further by crafting deeper, more nuanced archetypes that resonate on a psychological and emotional level. We’ll break down how these archetypes offer fresh, compelling takes on personal growth and identity, providing a rich layer of strategy and meaning in gameplay. Join us as we compare the two systems and discover why Metaphor: ReFantazio’s approach might just redefine this beloved JRPG mechanic. #metaphorrefantazio
