Metaphor: ReFantazio, just like Persona titles, has a main character you play as but the naming of them is somewhat confusing.
If you’re someone who likes to deep dive into the in-game lore and the finer details that others don’t, you’ll certainly want to find out what the canon name of the main protagonist is.
Here, we’ll reveal what this is as well as some other information around the main character of Metaphor: ReFantazio.
What is the main character’s name in Metaphor: ReFantazio?
When you load up Metaphor: ReFantazio and start your playthrough, you will be asked to name the main character.
It is implied by the game that you should be inputting your own name in here as there’s a suggestion that you are embodying the main character.
However, if you want to be as true to the source as possible, you’ll want to input something closest to the canon variant.
Technically, there actually is no one ‘canon name’ for the main protagonist as it varies somewhat in different languages, but there is a common denominator – Will.
This is the name that is stated in most languages including English, Chinese, and Japanese, so most will suggest that this is the ‘true’ name.
Here are all of the default ‘canon’ names for the main protagonist in the different languages so you can make your choice:
- English: Will
- German: Willheim
- Spanish: Victor
- French: Éric
- Italian: Victor
- Portuguese: Pedro
- Russian: Alexander (Translated)
- Japanese: Will (Translated)
- Traditional Chinese: Will (Translated)
- Simplified Chinese: Will (Translated)
- Korean: Will (Translated)
As we mentioned previously though, the developers did intend for you to put your own name in there so feel free to do that instead!
