Metaphor : ReFantazio adopt some social elements from the Persona series , but romance wo n’t make an appearance in this upcoming phantasy RPG .
Metaphor : ReFantazio is the next project from the Persona development team , but this phantasy RPG wo n’t copy Persona ’s societal systems exactly .
Metaphor ’s press release day of the month was finally revealed — October 11 , 2024on PC , PlayStation , and Xbox — and the development squad portion out more information about the biz in a livestream as well . Metaphor : ReFantazio still has some of Persona ’s societal mechanics , but there ’s one glaring omission : romanticism .
Metaphor : ReFantaziowon’t feature romanceof any kind between the protagonist and the supporting cast . That does n’t mean that the Social Link scheme from Persona is absentminded exclusively , but you woefully wo n’t be able-bodied to date anyone during your Metaphor playthrough .
TheSocial Link systemfrom Persona does seem in Metaphor in a slightly unlike mental ability , however . Instead of even out up a Social Link and obtaining venial buffs and bonus as you advance yourBond levelwith your allies , you ’ll unlockArchetypesby inspiring your party member in Metaphor . These are fundamentally jobs or classes likeMage , stealer , andSeekerthat unlock young abilities during combat .
Q : Are there any elements like the Social Link arrangement in Persona?A : By deepening friendly relationship with those you cope with on your journey , some of them will become supporters ( i.e. followers ) . Sensing the heroic feelings within them , those manifest through the Archetypes.pic.twitter.com/RvZPuweIjX
Metaphor : ReFantazio will still feature acalendarsystem like the Persona game do , so you ’ll still demand to manage your fourth dimension and decide who you want to fall out with . It ’s undecipherable what types of bonus you ’ll get from upgrading your Bonds outside of Archetypes , and not every role will have a Social Link - style Bond storyline just like in Persona .
Metaphor : ReFantazio by all odds pay homage to its Persona and SMT roots , but this is clearly a brand newfangled focus for an RPG from the Persona team . More information will be revealed about the game as we get closemouthed to launch ( which is just a few short month away now ) , so stay tune for more Metaphor updates . If you need a plot to chafe that Persona rub in the meantime , thenPersona 3 Reloadis a faithful diversion of the classical RPG with new summation that really make a difference . Plus , theEpisode Aigis DLCwill arrive briefly before Metaphor ’s release date .
