One of the key ways in whichMetaphor: ReFantaziostands out from other JRPGs out there is the inclusion of its Archetype system. The system’s function is quite similar to jobs or classes in other genre titles, but it has a much more synergistic relationship with the characters as well as the context of the story. Not only does each Archetype come with its own look, but there are also specific skills that come with mastering each one.
Throughout your adventures, you will gain more allies and, consequently, more Archetypes. Fulfilling certain requirements will see new ones added, existing ones get more powerful via advanced forms, and if you want to push things all the way, you can have each party member master every Archetype so you are more than well-prepared for any obstacles standing in your way. If you are seeking to gain access to all Archetypes in the game, this guide is for you.
