Metaphor: ReFantazio's Party Members: A Detailed Recruitment Guide
Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventure in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing unique combat skills. While Gallica is present from the start, her combat participation is limited initially.
Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the recruitment dates for each party member. Reading further may spoil aspects of the game's narrative.
Each party member awakens to a unique Archetype, subsequently usable by other party members. Early recruits may be initially AI-controlled before their Archetype awakening.
