The developers of Metaphor: ReFantazio recently revealed that J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings served as an early inspiration for the game's setting. Metaphor: ReFantazio, the latest JRPG from Atlus' Studio Zero, features several former Persona series developers at the helm. Like past Atlus games, Metaphor integrates turn-based combat with time management and social-building mechanics.
One key difference between Persona and Metaphor: ReFantazio is the setting. While Persona is an urban fantasy RPG set in modern-day Japan, Metaphor embraces a high-fantasy world. Fans have welcomed this shift, seeing it as a refreshing change. In a recent interview, Director Katsura Hashino discussed how the team approached creating the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, noting the influence of classic fantasy works.
During an interview on the Official Xbox Podcast, host Jeff Rubenstein highlighted how Metaphor’s world, inspired by Belle Époque Europe, blends anachronistic technology with fantastical elements. Hashino explained that during the initial stages, the team explored traditional fantasy concepts, including Tolkien’s works. They aimed to understand the essence of the genre, focusing on how and why certain elements defined it.

However, Hashino noted that the team eventually decided that adhering too closely to traditional fantasy would lack the originality they sought. The developers abandoned some initial inspirations, such as The Lord of the Rings, to forge a more unique path. Hashino emphasized that a purely conventional fantasy world wouldn’t reflect Atlus' distinctive creativity.
Although Tolkien’s work and even art by Hieronymus Bosch influenced early development, Studio Zero sought to craft a world with its own identity, incorporating only the elements that resonated with their vision. The result is Metaphor: ReFantazio, a game that may feel familiar in some aspects but is shaping up to be one of the most innovative fantasy RPGs in recent memory.
