To celebrate the release of Metaphor: <\/em>ReFantazio, Katsura Hashino, Director of the fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, <\/em>hosted a 30-minute livestream yesterday to dive into the everything from the game\u2019s setting, the United Kingdom of Euchronia, the monsters you\u2019ll face, and how you can fight to see another day. Read on to learn more about Euchronia before jumping into Metaphor: ReFantazio, <\/em>available now on Xbox!<\/p>\n

Hashino-san kicked off the livestream by giving us a quick rundown of where our story begins. <\/em>The United Kingdom of Euchronia hangs in the balance as usurpers vie for the throne and political upheaval swells. Amidst this chaos, our story follows a young protagonist and his fairy companion Gallica as they embark on a secret mission that could determine the entire nation\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

\"Metaphor<\/figure>\n

After setting the scene, Hashino-san gives us some advice on how to take on the variety of creatures you\u2019ll face on your journey. When approaching potential threats, you can use Gallica to help scan an enemy\u2019s danger level so you can strike down easy foes or prepare for more challenging opponents. Hashino-san also recommends leveraging surprise attacks and enemy weaknesses to increase your number of actions. However, the United Kingdom of Euchronia is not for the faint of heart \u2013 the enemies in Metaphor: ReFantazio <\/em>were made to pose a challenge to even the most experienced RPG fans. Keep this in mind as you set your difficulty at the start of the game, or adjust the setting as you play through your journey if you find yourself overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

While advantages and weaknesses are vital to coming out on top, the greatest tools in your arsenal are the Archetypes \u2013 special powers that awaken in various forms. Fourteen core Archetype lineages branch into over 40 total Archetypes, each with special powers that can be swapped across your party based on your combat strategy \u2013 and which will dictate which weapon is selected in real-time combat. You\u2019ll need to interact and create bonds with followers throughout your journey to awaken and strengthen these Archetypes.<\/p>\n

\"Metaphor<\/figure>\n

As you learn the ins and outs of combat and Archetypes, keep an eye on the in-game calendar. The story is tied to a day and night cycle, which is progressed by your choices and actions, so choose your next steps wisely. How you spend your time is completely up to you \u2013 move through dungeons, interact with friends, improve virtues \u2013 but time is always limited.<\/p>\n

This is just scratching the surface of all there is to do in Metaphor: ReFantazio, <\/em>but now you can jump into the race to the throne yourself! Metaphor: ReFantazio <\/em>is available now on Xbox, and for those who want to try it before they buy it, a free Prologue demo is available. The demo gives you a chance to experience the early hours of Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/em>, with all progress carrying over to the full game.<\/p>\n
