Metaphor: ReFantazio's election premise is set to delve into the medieval fantasy genre, tackling serious topics like prejudice and disparity among the game's many tribes. The United Kingdom of Euchronia's race for the royal throne is punctuated by these themes, and as the protagonist travels to meet the people of Metaphor: ReFantazio's world, he will encounter all sorts of people, open-minded and otherwise. Being a part of a tribe that is "detested" in the eyes of Euchronia's state religion sets up inevitable conflict, though as the protagonist gains popularity in the race and pulls together a band of followers from all walks of life, the game will show his ability to bridge the world's people and move past negative assumptions. This conceit will rely on platonic relationships, omitting the relationship feature of the newer Persona titles.
