Metis’ Role in Episode Aigis, Explained

Metis is a part of Aigis’ consciousness in Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis. More specifically, she’s the part of Aigis that Aigis herself so desperately wanted to cast aside.

After the death of the MC in Persona 3 Reload, Aigis was in grief. She explains at the end of the DLC that she wished she could just go back to being a robot with no feelings. In doing so, she cast out the part of her that longed for friendship and human connection, and Metis is the manifestation of those feelings. This becomes very obvious when Metis displays a strong attachment to Aigis, a desire to save her, and wanting to be part of the group. These are all Aigis’ own desires coming out through Metis. This also explains why Metis seems to know so much about Aigis’ past and what SEES has gone through, even though she was never physically there.

In a way, Metis is basically like Aigis’ Shadow. The manifestation became so strong that she was even able to fight alongside SEES for the duration of the DLC.

By the end of the game, when Aigis finally comes to terms with her own feelings, she’s also able to accept Metis. Metis then disappears, as she’s part of Aigis herself again, meaning that she’s finally whole and able to move on.

And that’s everything you need to know about who Metis is in Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game.
