Every Royal Virtue and their importance in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a fresh new take on JRPGs from the developers of Persona 3, 4, and 5. The inspiration from the Persona series is obvious, from the art style to the turn-based combat as well as the focus on building relationships in between battles.
Royal Virtues are the social points of Metaphor: ReFantazio. They affect the protagonist’s interactions with other characters and the people of the Kingdom of Euchronia.
Royal Virtues are a significant part of the game, and can greatly affect a playthrough, unlocking new dialogue options, missions, etc. Moreover, some quests, and follower ranks require a high enough level of a Royal Virtue before they can be unlocked.
It is a good idea to level up your Royal Virtues as much as you can, especially early on in your playthrough. As the calendar system, which players of the Persona series will be familiar with, makes it so that a playthrough has a finite amount of time, and that each day is valuable.
In this article, we take a look at each Royal Virtue, how they affect your playthrough, and how you can level them up.
