InMetaphor: ReFantazio, the experience isn’t all about the journey, but the friends you’ll make along the way. As characters join your party, they’ll grant you greater access to the game’s extended mechanics and abilities. Some characters are playable and some are not (followers). It’s up to you to decide how to approach the world before you.
Archetypes are specific statuses that enhance your combat abilities in different ways. For instance, Summoners can call forward creatures as long as they obtain the appropriate vessels. There are 14 basic archetypes. There are additional archetypes that can be unlocked from each of these basic archetypes by increasing the Bond Rank of the character affixed to the archetype. For instance, you can unlock theDestroyerandRoyal Berserkerarchetypes from the basicBerserkerarchetype by reaching the required Bond Ranks.
