Compiling Metaphor Refantazio humans and their Hieronymus Bosch inspirations

Enemy spoilers up through 7/17 on the in-game calendar

far from complete, since I'm nowhere near done with the game yet, but these are all the funny little guys I've managed to find the inspirations for! I've put the enemy's names and the names of the Bosch paintings in the alt text for each image.

I highly recommend checking out Bosch's paintings, for these guys and the many other fantastical and macabre creatures in his works. it's kind of like a game of I-spy, lol

enemies I was NOT able to find a 1-to-1 inspiration for under the cut. if anyone out there HAS spotted a better match for these ones, feel free to add on!

so I couldn't find a good match for the big terrible baby, unfortunately. best I can say is that Bosch tends to paint a lot of creatures that are just a human head on legs.

same goes for the giant sandworm; I couldn't find anything even remotely similar even after scouring through every Bosch painting (and some sketches!) I could find. it feels inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights, but I didn't see anything that really resembled this thing.

but again, if anyone knows of a better match for either of these, I'd love to see it!

me: awwwwww Heismay! little guyyyyy! sweet lil mipsyyyy! awawawawawawaaa ^w^ the cutest little guy of everrrrrrrr! Heismay: I am a middle aged man, my wife is gone, my dead son was a victim of senseless racial violence, I was discarded by the people I fought so hard to be accepted by but they never did, and I've been living in a cave alone with the hopes of being killed by a bug monster and I am terrified of bugs.

Just a normal amount of fantasy village razing, it's great bonding experience. They could kiss maybe idk.

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

I became addicted with Metaphor Re:Fantazio 😳

[cultureosmosisenjoyer]

So whenever Fidelio’s mad or suspicious of us we see his pupils get smaller, making them look more narrow on his model.

So I’d like to imagine whenever he’s excited or happy they get very wide, like this.

It would be adorable, and something he absolutely hate and do his damndest to hide from anyone besides his brother. Because that would be a face that’d absolutely obliterates the image he want others to see him as.

get this idiot off my ship

thank you atlus for making strohl the character to land ass up upon defeat in metaphor
