I just beat the Royal Academy section of Metaphor: reFantazio and I just. I had to sit there with the revelation that we've passed the point of 'this is a GOTY frontrunner for me' and have entered the territory of 'if this sticks the landing- and god I think it's shaping up to do just that- it's going up there with Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Final Fantasy X as one of my favorite video games of all time.'

#m:rf #metaphor: refantazio #it's so so so good I can't #it boogles my mind #and it is so good while being EXACTLY my shit #when we hit the reveal about Rella I fucking LOST IT #the parallels between her and Fidelio her and eupha #grideux's quite admission that he too was one of one of the weak that rella was struggling to save #a revelation that breaks something inside of him #everything at altarburry is just banger choice after banger story choice #all these politics and power struggles and epic clashes of destiny #and beneath it all is quite humanity #human pain and love and anxiety and courage #Fordan and Louis are so consumed by their pride and their greed that they are blind to it #but the game dosen't elevate their point of view #it elevates rella and fidelio #junah and basilio #their pain and their struggles are centered in this moment #not grand men battling over destiny #a pair of siblings who could not be more different #and yet are still suffering despite it all under the callous rule of the church and luis's junta
