Sometimes there is symbolism in games alot of it, someitmes not. Best bet is to dig up the interviews and psyche of developers, in this case drunkee is much more familiar with suda so have to buy his story , same for kojima or any other. Rather than fanstasizing what you think i rather want to know what is developers intent, that can be judged by his interviews or past nature in hisgames. For e.g ico ending was interpreted differently by evryone than what actually ueda thought of it. anyone know symbolism in zelda? aryan guy , muslims crest on sheild and stuff. Sometimes japanese put random sutff form religions indiscriminately to make fictional world with references, so it opens world for gamers to interpret and find meaning here there is none, coz its random stuff put in from different sources to make software cool and attarctive, what counts is that how much cohesive and smartly it is presented. But sometimes they get controversial too.
