Metaphor: ReFantazio – A New Dimension of Loyalty and Trust
In the world of ReFantazio, the concept of Follower Ranks is about to take a new turn. Similar to the Persona series, the follower ranks in ReFantazio share some commonalities, but there are distinct differences. In ReFantazio, the bond between the protagonist and their followers is more profound, and this new dimension of loyalty and trust is about to be revealed.
Rank 1: The First Binding
In ReFantazio, the first binding rank, which is Alonzo, is achieved by completing the quest "Ein Dolch, ein Ring und ein Rechen" (A Dagger, a Ring, and a Scythe). This achievement unlocks the binding, allowing the protagonist and Alonzo to form a strong bond. As a result, ReFantazio will grant the protagonist the ability to study the Schwindler Archetype.
Rank 2: The Second Binding
In this stage, the protagonist has the opportunity to choose their responses carefully, as the dialogue options will have different outcomes. The choices made will influence the relationship between the protagonist and their followers. For example, if the protagonist chooses a specific response to Alonzo, he will gain the ability to study the Schwindler Archetype. This new ability will reduce the cost of studying the Schwindler Archetype by 50%.
Rank 3: The Third Binding
In this stage, the protagonist’s relationship with Alonzo will deepen, and the dialogue options will become even more crucial. Choosing the right responses will unlock new interactions and rewards. For instance, if the protagonist selects a response that shows understanding and empathy towards Alonzo, he will receive a reduced amount of MAG. This decrease in MAG cost will make it easier to study the Schwindler Archetype.
Rank 4: The Fourth Binding
In the final stage of the game, the protagonist’s bond with Alonzo will be at its strongest. The dialogue options will be more complex, and the choices made will determine the outcome of the story. For instance, if the protagonist selects a response that shows a deep understanding and acceptance of Alonzo’s feelings, he will receive the Spross-Fähigkeit (Sprout Ability), which will increase the slots for the Schwindler Abstammung (Schwindler Inheritance) by 2.
In conclusion, ReFantazio is a game that values loyalty and trust, and the Follower Ranks are a key aspect of this. By completing quests, choosing the right dialogue options, and forming strong bonds with followers, the protagonist will unlock new abilities and rewards, ultimately reaching the highest level of trust and understanding.
