very explicit spoilers re: spoilers for a video game, but saying which would reveal the spoilers
@kobi_lacroix basically it turns out your main character is an illegally created magical replica of the person he thinks he is, replacing the original several years prior to the game's start. everyone (including himself) thought he just had amnesia
a complicating factor is that the original isn't actually dead, he's still around and you have to fight him a couple times
the game is a whole lot better than what this simplified explanation suggests, there's some really good character development and stuff going on, along with some deep stuff about what it means to be alive and what one's place in life is. the tales games touch on pretty deep topics, it's what we like so much about them
