The trailers explored the game’s Archetypes system – the special character powers which awaken in a variety of ways and give players many options for customizing their party.

The game’s 14 basic Archetypes – which include the Magician, the Thief, the Seeker and the Monk – each have a lineage which contains more Archetypes that unlock as the game progresses. In all, Metaphor ReFantazio features more than 40 archetypes, including the Masked Dancer, the Summoner, the Berserker and many, many more.

Metaphor ReFantazio’s dungeons encourage players to think creatively and strategically about which Archetypes they use and how they use them. The dungeons also feature a network function which offers players insights on what party formations others are using to conquer that dungeon.
