The music is in the protagonist’s head
Shoji Meguro, the composer behind the Persona series’ incredible music, is returning to write the score for Metaphor. The music itself is actually diegetic in the world, as a fairy named Gallica casts a spell on the protagonist so he hears music in his head. Will that actually be a major plot point, or is it just a fun bit for the developers? That remains to be seen. Hashino says he asked Meguro not to feel beholden to Persona’s poppier sound for Metaphor, so the game has a much more orchestral style this time around.
