So the bad guy in the game is basically trump?

[Juicer Mcgavin]

A bit on the nose imo. lol. Lmao even.

[ShockedHearts]

no? projecting I think. is it because he is a blonde?

[WhiteKaiser]

Well the bad guy is not old. And Trump is not master tactician and archmage. For me your theory is big no no

[Sparhawk122]

I do not think he is the only main villain. Considering this game is 80 hours long.

[REBirthTheEdge]

Tbh, the closest of him is probably Napoleon.

It’s almost as if the word “metaphor” is in the title

[Rekombo]

It's the prince from Shrek.

So just a coincidence? Lol

Assuming no major plot twists he's not Trump, he's MegaTen Lucifer. For all I know at this point that's literally the case, but he's at the very least pulling from the same archetypes.

I only just heard his first speech at the “assassination” attempt but I just found it kind of funny that he’s this blonde hair, blue eyed authoritarian using worries of an “open border” and the citizens vulnerabilities to the “human problem.” Lol, I don’t think this is who trump himself is but it is how he is portrayed in popular media, and there has been nobody more impactful in recent political culture than his rhetoric, or perceived rhetoric. Just hope the narrative doesn’t tread such an overt parallel to current events because I’ve seen this a ton in recent media

Assuming you aren't trolling, but Louis is based on Ryo Asuka/Satan who is depicted with the aryan look in Devilman.

This character later on inspires character like Griffith.

And unlike Trump, Louis is a general who is capable of building an army, he isn't a merchant/businessman.

[lexia88]

Nope, I don't see it.

Who he reminds me of is Yamato Hotsuin from DS2. Both want meritocracy, use any means necessary and (maybe later in the game?) want the MC's help to achieve that.

Also Griffith, but that one is obvious.

Game has been in dev 4+ years, "DaE think Trump" is braindead af... plot points werent just written in the last 5 months.

[Dafena]

No, he's Griffith from Aliexpress.

Bare in mind this is a Japanese game, Trump is probably not on their minds as much. Louis us too suave to be a direct Trump analogue, but that doesn't mean he isn't a right wing demagogue.

Like what you described is a pretty standard presentation of anybody on the far right, you might as well argue that Louis is Nigel Farage. Hr's an allegorical character who shares similarites with a lot of people.

considering trump came onto the political scene in a major way in late 2015, I’m not sure if you’re trolling with this response or not lol
