Actions that pass time are labeled with a clock icon in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Activities (アクティビティ, Akutibiti)? are a mechanic in the Daily Life system of the game. They are gradually-unlocked options for selectively increasing one's performance in the game, most of which are in exchange for time.
In Japanese, activities are only roughly referred to as "facilities" (施設*)?, in terms of town-based locales, and might not necessarily refer to home activities like reading and studying.[1] In Japanese, during the respective "World Tour" livestream, the term is referred to as "アクティビティ".[2]
