Metaphor: ReFantazio Party Member Recruitment Guide: A Detailed Timeline
Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventure in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing unique combat abilities. While Gallica is present from the start, her combat participation is limited initially.
Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the specific days each party member joins your ranks. Reading ahead may spoil some plot elements.
Each party member's arrival is tied to story events, and their Archetype awakening unlocks their full combat potential. Early members may initially be AI-controlled.
Party Member Recruitment Schedule:
-
Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th (Border Fort events), but his Archetype awakens on June 6th (Nord Mines). Until then, he's AI-controlled.
-
Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events but becomes fully playable on June 6th, after Strohl's awakening. Grius doesn't undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.
-
Hulkenberg (Knight): Interacts with the party from June 10th, but fully joins and awakens her Archetype during the boss fight on June 11th.
-
Heismay (Thief): His awakening and party integration occur on July 4th within Martira's main dungeon.
-
Junah (Masked Dancer): Junah joins the party following her Archetype awakening on August 13th.
-
Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon between August 19th and September 4th (during Viraga Island's free time) brings her into the party for the final boss. Her Bond, however, can only be initiated after this period.
-
Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins during the Saint's Day events on September 11th. Full combat usability is available the following day, if desired.
