So my guess is that the theme of Metaphor Refantazio is that fantasy can inspire change in the real world. That's why there's so much focus on the protagonist's fantasy book, a vision of utopia which will presumably inspire the protagonist to become elected king on a platform of equality.
Metaphor Refantazio itself is a work of fiction, and More's question in the beginning is basically "can works like this have an impact in the real world"?
The emphasis of the game centering on an election is like the game telling you that yes, democracy can lead to change. Which is interesting, since hasn't Japan's conservative party been the ruling one since the 50s? Then in a way the "fantasy" that is inspiring the player is that elections will change the status quo.
Things I noticed from the launch trailer:
Girl with cool black and white cape with circles on it. Seems important, in both shots her face isn't shown (back is to camera, wearing helmet)
Strohl dramatically falling through the sky!
Weird lance thing Louise has, where blade reaches from one end of the lance and attaches at the other. There's a shot of Will holding it, and also of another character with a bracelet grabbing it (it looks all burnt up in this shot, so maybe a different weapon here?).
Thor SMT! Probably from one of the archetypes, maybe the same one that summons Jack Frost.
Nahobino may be a man but he's definitely SMT's it girl. Ethereal, cute, sexy, every look he pulls off. There's more fanart of him looking pretty than of every other character from his game combined. His game's re-release features 5 new female characters and fans still simp more over him.
