Metaphor ReFantazio Followers are similar to the Confidants in Atlus’ Persona series, and see players needing to spend time with their companions and important individuals they encounter, if they hope to tap into their full potential. By spending time with them and completing their various requests, you will not only unlock stronger Metaphor ReFantazio Archetypes to acquire, but also other bonuses including discounts and new inventory at shops, assisting you in dungeons and more.How to rank up Metaphor ReFantazio Followers Metaphor Refantazio guide Get the best combinations with our complete Metaphor Refantazio Synthesis guide.Ranking up your followers in Metaphor ReFantazio is done in a variety of ways, such as finding items they are looking for, helping them on quests, and fighting them while out-and-about on the world map but the majority are done by agreeing to spend time with them and listening to their stories. Sometimes this can be during the afternoon portion of the day, the evening, or only when you are traveling somewhere in your gauntlet runner, but your trusty fairy friend Gallica will let you know when someone wants to talk to you! How big is it? If you want to know how long Metaphor Refantazio is? Then we can breakdown just how long it will take to roll credits.They will also show up on the city maps as a small shaking hands icon, or with an exclamation mark in your followers menu, so it’s pretty easy to see and find folks that are ready to rank up. With each Follower, there will be times when you will need to have at least a certain rank in a specific heroic virtue (Courage, Eloquence, Imagination, Wisdom, or Tolerance) so be sure to keep leveling those up as well by reading books, interacting with folks in cities (they will have an icon above their heads), and completing requests or bounties.This guide will give you an idea of what each Follower will grant you along with some tips on how to begin your journey with each of them.All Metaphor ReFantazio FollowersMore Obtained naturally over the course of the story.Rank 1
