The Story – Metaphor ReFantazio
The game is set in an ideal world (The United Kingdom of Euchronia) where everyone is equal. After the King dies, everyone suddenly has a shot at being the new King. Historically, this degree of freedom has never been suitable for peace, and so, what happens?- you guessed it, war.
The chaotic world cannot last longer, and so, mysteriously, a Royal Magic is invoked, and the entire kingdom is presented with a royal tournament to inherit the throne; think of it as the Game of Thrones.
The protagonist, accompanied by his partner, emerges amidst the chaos and looks for ways to break the curse that has befallen the Prince. The people within the Kingdom believe the Prince is dead. In order to break the curse, they embarked on a journey to far, faraway lands.
In their journey, they discover only one way to break this curse. The protagonist and his partner, the fairy Galica, must take part in the royal tournament, and to win, they must foster several alliances with tribes across the world.
