metaphor rephantazio is really funny because while it does recycle persona mechanics i am very glad it also carries over the archetype of "guy who meets the protagonist and then immediately desides he'll die for him in the span of a day or two" with strohl. it takes SO little time for him to decide this and tells him his tragic backstory not long after. okay dude
Just realized Strohl is a foil to Louis. Both are clemar who are not discriminatory towards other tribes, which is rare for the most numerous tribe. That's about it for their similarities. Louis is might makes right, Strohl is noblesse oblige. Louis has a nobody background risen to king candidate, Strohl is a fallen noble. Louis is calculating, Strohl is hot-headed. Louis is the villain, Strohl is our staunchest ally.
... am i the First guy to make a metaphor refantazio textpost. maybe maybe not. but theres not many out there if there are. but yeah. inspired by the dialogue i saw below
