[GUIDE] Metaphor: ReFantazio – The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking All Archetypes

Looking to master every Archetype in Metaphor: ReFantazio? You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re aiming to create the ultimate party composition or simply want to experience everything the game has to offer, this comprehensive guide will walk you through unlocking all available Archetypes. 

In the vast landscape of JRPGs, Metaphor: ReFantazio distinguishes itself through its innovative Archetype system, a mechanic that transcends traditional class-based gameplay. This isn’t just another job system – it’s a deeply integrated feature that resonates with both character progression and storytelling elements. From basic forms to the legendary Royal Archetypes, we’ll cover everything you need to know to expand your arsenal of combat styles and abilities.

At its core, the Archetype system in ReFantazio operates on a straightforward yet engaging progression system. Characters can level up their Archetypes through combat experience and quest completion, with each Archetype capable of reaching level 20. Additionally, the game’s currency, known as Magla or MAG, serves as the key to unlocking new Archetypes and inheriting skills between them. This flexibility in skill inheritance is particularly potent with the protagonist, who can harness the system’s full potential to create devastating combat combinations.

With over 40 Archetypes to discover and master, the journey to unlocking them all becomes an epic quest in itself. The game rewards thorough exploration and progression, as new Archetypes become available through various means throughout your adventure. In addition, players looking to maximize their combat potential will find themselves naturally acquiring new Archetypes as they progress through the story and complete side content.

Among all the Archetypes available in ReFantazio, the Royal Archetypes stand in a league of their own, with the Prince Archetype crowned as the most formidable. These prestigious forms aren’t just powerful on their own – they hold the key to unleashing one of the game’s most devastating abilities. By collecting all Royal Archetypes and speaking with More, players can obtain a special item that unlocks the secret Synthesis skill “Armageddon’s Final Sire.” This ultimate technique, which deals a massive 9,999 damage to all enemies, requires both the Prince and other Royal Archetypes in your party to execute.

Moreover, the true beauty of the Archetype system lies in its versatility and depth. By mastering multiple Archetypes, players can create uniquely powerful party compositions capable of overwhelming even the most formidable opponents in just a few strategic moves. In addition, this level of customization ensures that every player’s journey through ReFantazio can be truly their own, with countless possibilities for character building and combat strategy.
